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

0. Mahou Sensei Negima!: Introduction Film
OVA - 3 x 8 minute long episodes. R+ rated.
OVAs that were produced for the sole purpose of introducing the characters. The first two were released on DVD bundled with two drama CDs, with the third being sold separately.

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

1. Mahou Sensei Negima!
TV - 26 x 23 minute long episodes. PG-13 rated.
First season of the series. It follows the story of the manga to a certain degree but also creates its own reasons for certain events happening - most of which take place towards the end of the series - which differ from the original story, as the situations addressed had yet to occur in the source material. The differences between the manga and anime are significant, and most events in the manga never occur in the anime, again due in part to the manga being incomplete during the series' production. Starting in episode 22 and continuing until the end of the series, original work was created so the series would have a conclusion.

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

2. Negima!?
TV - 26 x 23 minute long episodes. PG-13 rated.
A remake of the first season of the anime with its own alternative story with different character designs. The show also focuses more towards breaking the fourth wall, action, and comedy, and less on the original series' fanservice.
