Negima, also known as Mahou Sensei Negima, Negima Magister Magi Negi and numerous other titles, is based on a long-running manga by Ken Akamatsu, best known for the archetype-setting harem series Love Hina. Love Hina was adapted by Xebec, and subjected to a not-particularly-great adaptation. Negima is almost the same in that respect, except that rather than a not-particularly-great adaptation, here we are presented with an appalling one.

For starters, this series came out several years sooner than it should have done. The manga is, to this day, still running, and promises to be around 40-50 volumes in length by its completion. This, however, was ...

Watch episode 19, then pretend the rest of the series doesn't exist. Rarely does the series succeed in rising above the mark of generic in any aspect, more often taking advantage of being an adaptation of a work by Ken Akamatsu and assuming fans will mindlessly race to hand over money (which they did).

Many fans laud the anime for originality because it features a harem surrounding a preteen teacher who happens to be a wizard. However, the magical aspect is used only infrequently, as are the child-teacher jokes. The preteen harem lead aspect is used fairly often, but is of limited improvement over the typical ...

If you read the manga, you may hate this because they change the storyline and the characters hair color.

The animation is really quite bad with no shading and many distorted drawings. There is almost no real storyline because almost all the episodes are fillers from the manga.
The only thing I really liked about this anime was the opening song and the music.

"Success has a thousand fathers but failure is an orphan"

When it comes to Negima this isn't true at all. It's failure has more family than you can shake a stick at. You have lazy writing taking the part of the father. A difficult concept failed in its execution the mother. Poorly animated art is the c airhead of a little sister, while ridiculous and unrelatable characters are the bratty brothers. Finally very good music used for nothing but obvious emotional manipulation is the older sister trying to hold it together but being ground down into dust. Negima is no orphan but its family ...

I'm a really big fan of Negima. The manga, that is. SHAFT also made a borderline gag series (Negima!?) that somehow worked really well. However the first anime, made by XEBEC, is, by far, the worst version of Akamatsu's weird magic harem fighting manga. Yes, even worse than Neo.

As for the story, you all know the drill. 10 year old mage becomes a teacher at an all-girls junior high. Hilarity ensues. Now, adapting an ongoing manga into 26 episodes is, well, impossible, (which is why I applaud SHAFT for coming up with their own plot in their version) so a premature, anime-only ending was inevitable. ...

= Spoiler free, opinions based on my view back in 2010. =

Well. Back in early 2008, i think. This anime was broadcasted in my place, and its really extremely censored, probably this was broadcaster fault for showing ecchi anime.

But after watch whole episodes back then, I fully regret the whole of it.

The main reason maybe this occurs is when :
1 + You read the manga before watching anime.
2 + You watched the anime then after done, read manga.

"Ecchi". Isn`t. Do not mistakes "Ecchi" and non "Ecchi" in thiis anime, conpared to manga which completely ecchi genre. Probably this is because the anime fix to Shounen ...

I knew exactly what i was in for when i saw the first few minutes of the first episode of this anime. The beginning of the show has a girl in a fish suit dancing, floods of school girls running towards their school in an empty city, and a bear panty flip skirt scene, and all this sets the mood for most of the show. I still continued on mostly for the fact the this series is having a sequel (in some sense) coming out soon, and i just had to see what it was all about. I just wanted to know what would allow ...

Preliminary (1/26 eps)
"I love the manga and I'm still collecting it" from that point of view, I write this.
I only saw the first episode and dropped it.

Story: Of the first episode, it seemed to follow the manga, so not real problems there

Art/animation: seemed weak, but I would have gone along with it so far

Character: This was the reason I dropped it. The characters face's look way to plain from the manga, it was just bad.

Overall: I probably would have watched more, if the faces were decently animated.
