Negima!? is not to be confused with Mahou Sensei Negima!. They're part of the same universe, but are completely different stories. Negima!? is produced by SHAFT, and their crazy experimental presence is definitely noted in this show.

Story: Negima!? takes a completely different direction from its counterpart, deviating from the manga storyline. The first episode opens up with the final battle between the Thousand Master and Evangeline McDowell. Evangeline gets turned into a loli form and we then start the story with Negi Springfield. Negi starts his teaching career over at an all-girls school. The crazy mischief starts when it's revealed to his students that Negi ...

If you liked Pani Poni Dash, you don't even have to bother reading the rest, you'll likely like the show. If your a fan of Negima the manga, your probably not gonna like this and you might want to delete any episodes you have on your harddrive (I mean return the dvd you bought, of course that's what I meant). I walk a middle ground here as a fan of both of those series, however, it did get boring for me as it continued on.

Now, if you think you knew the characters from the series, you'll only be half right (for the most part) ...

fans of the manga and the first animated release should watch this. i like the manga of negima so much so here is my review.

story: um i know some are skeptical about this new universe but i found its story very captivating. its battle oriented and a new version of pactio cards made me watch for more.

art: this time the animators got the hair right hahahahaha. unlike in the first anime this series has a darker touch of art and animation which is good for most people. but some fans may find it bleh.

sound: narration, in anime sounds, opening songs, and ending songs ...

Story:
The story is great and lots of comedy I guess. The story's plot is good and that I find it interesting. The action contained in this good as well though it could have been better if the battles are much tougher. There are drama parts of this anime that I find can move someone's feelings/emotions.
Even if this anime is great I observed that some segments of the story are very short and lacked of details. It also seems that there are confusing parts in the story but these are explained later on.
All in all, the story is great.

Art:
Generally, the art's well ...

It's not the Negima that the fans of the manga know, it's Negima 2.0 the wacky version.

STORY: This is the result when the studio Shaft, that is known for silly and over the top comedy anime like Pani Poni Dash and Arakawa Under The Bridge, get to do a remake of a story that the fans had already known about and let their imagination go wild.
This is a second attempt at a Negima anime, but this time around things are sillier, more random, and has more action than the first anime with an original story.

The beginning jumps straight into the Evangeline arc of ...

The Negima series is what I can safely call the benchmark of Harem anime. If you aren’t sure that you’re into the action harem anime sub-genre. I highly recommend that you would watch this series first. It sets the bar for what a good harem anime would be. Equal parts big cast of females with varying characteristics with a strong voice acting cast, sprinkled with a semi-serious plot, caked with large amounts of comedy and slapstick. Bring this together and you can pretty much name any harem anime around.

Why do I say this is a benchmark series? This is the only series I know of ...

Pretty much this is season 2 (Technically a remake actually) of the first but it starts out exactly where season 1 started, although much more dramatic. We get a tale about Negi’s father fighting a vampire and how rather epic that fight had been, only to cut into a little bit dramatization of when Negi is given the assignment to go teach in Japan. This is a rather large contrast where the beginning of Season 1 was him already on his way to the school and the rather funny time he would have there (not to mention the strange love spell Asuna was doing in ...

This anime is a spin off of Mahou Sensei Negima. the story begins the same as the original with Negi, our child teacher, going to an all girls school in order to do his wizards training. it kinda starts out the same only with events happening much earlier than they did in the original anime, with the vampire arc occurring in the first episodes. after that the story becomes it's own thing which boils down to Negi kissing every girl in order to get a contract with them in order to fight an unknown enemy. the second half of the show has them in some ...

Okay unfortunately unlike with most anime I watch I had read the manga to this and was very, VERY disappointed at what happened in this version of the story.
Story- It shared very few similarities with the manga at all other than the characters and a few episodes which is sad I mean if the series is supposed to be based off a manga shouldn't it at least be similar but no this series went along and tried to do it's own thing and in my opinion failed.
Art- The art was okay I preferred the original art-style used in mahou sensei but this was still good.
Sound- ...

Negima had a fairly good start, with a stylistic retelling of the battle with Evangeline, then gradually declined. The art and characters are all quite good, but the plot falls apart after the first half and is clogged with filler.

DO NOT GO INTO THIS EXPECTING TO SEE NEGIMA ANIMATED

you WILL be very disappointed.

i suggest you go into this anime just expecting to see characters interact, and usually in way FAR stupider than the manga.

this is more or less pani poni dash with negima characters, but damnit you could do allot worse, IM LOOKING AT YOU NEGIMA ANIME 1.

to start off, the story is loosely based off the plot of negima neo. this is a good thing, because the neo plot has potential, just so far, it seams a little lacking. and this also doesn't have get a crappy end.

the characters are where you ...

More or less directly copied from my review on Anime Planet

-----------------------------

When I first watched this back in April 2012, I was relatively new to watching anime, so I didn't have many standards. I just wanted to watch something where I could kick back and enjoy myself with a decent story, entertaining characters and a bit of humour.
The first time I watched Negima!?, it delivered. Sixteen months later... not so much.


Story

What's notable about Negima!? is that it actually starts off with the original manga's plot; namely, the Evangeline arc. However, it's made clear that Negima!? is a spin-off from the original as this gets cleared up ...

This is Gansis' and Shaft's foray into Ken Akamatsu's Negima world, and my first real dive into the franchise. I've heard that fans weren't that into this series, which makes me a bit sad because despite its flaws (especially during broadcast), this is some of Shaft's best work.

I've actually seen an anime adaptation of Akamatsu's handiwork before, on recommendation from a friend: Love Hina. That was a ridiculous and yet sweetly sappy sort-of-harem romance that threw in as much fanservice it could without getting spanked by Japan's television networks. Oh, and the anime radically differed from the manga, I learned later. Oh well, the OVA ...

PROS:
Beautiful animation
The spotlight is shared with lesser known characters
Top-notch humor
Amazing soundtrack
Some characters are more likable

CONS:
Fans of the previous series may not like the changes

Normally i wouldn't write a review for an anime, but as i did just finish this i felt i had to write something, and this is the 1st review i've written on MAL

This anime is an eclectic mix of brilliant art and some rather...odd storyline. As noted in other reviews, this series has almost nothing to do with the manga storyline what-so-ever. Sure the Series starts with the Nagi-Evangeline fight, and that has some of the best visual presentation i think i've ever seen in an anime, but after that it goes....to left field...in a good way. (Not really...just keep reading...)

One of the big differences ...

I used to follow the lot of Negima stories. Up until the part where Negi and his crew visited Wales and the whole story turned into some Dragonball Z -esque bullcrap and everything went out of control. Last I heard from 4chan's /a/ section; our hero Negi Springfield was having his (finally superpowered) rear handed to him by Evangeline. ...and then I stopped.

There was a time, when I started reading the Negima manga despite my hatred for Ken Akamatsu and his Love Hina series, when I believed I can handle it. Several different cute girls, upskirt panty shots, the male lead (despite being 10 years ...

Okay, as always I want to preface my review with the three things I’m looking for in an anime: I want a really good story (+5), I want really good dialogue (characters/character development, etc.)(+3), and I want really good “technicals” (style, sound, etc.)(+2). Also, I’ll remind you my reviews generally encompass the whole series of an anime unless otherwise stated (That is to say that no more seasons are coming out). So let’s get to it!

Negima!?… I wanted to like this anime. I really did. In fact, I quite fancied the previous installment of Negima way back when. But, this time around, Negima just went ...

(MILD SPOILERS)

Been waiting on this one for a long time.

Ah, Negima. Serving as the gateway to my interest in bizarre comedies, alongside my love for it going so far that I even made a fan forum for it many years ago, even though it inevitably fell apart and I had sadly not discovered that AnimeSuki was a thing. But, I digress.

The Shaft variation of the Negima series, this one follows the characters in a fully original story. Right off the bat for fans of the original, the characters are in a noticeably different area. The school setting looks far more unique than it did before ...

Story: What fucking story there was nothing its shit. There is a nine year who is also a wizard and also a professor. There are seventeen year olds going to an all girls middle school. Normally I put a buffer in case somethings worse and put 2 but this was awful. 1/10

Art: Same as all the other bullshit. 2/10

Sound: I fucking hated it. It was the worst just all of a sudden the most appalling music i ever heard in my entire life. Their trying to put funny business in like look at this funny thing but its not ...

This anime is simultaneously completely different from Negima and probably best for fans of Negima. For people unfamiliar with Negima, it is an all-around average shonen with traces from the harem source material and some strong 2000's vibes.

Before watching this show, you should be warned that the story is not at all like the Negima manga. Like many old adaptations, it starts similar but veers off in a completely different direction, resulting in the studio's completely new version of Negima. In the end, the only thing that is retained from Akamatsu's original are the characters. Note that the giant cast is crammed into a single ...
