since the other topic on this got shit stormed by manga fans, let's be clear.

Is it necessary to watch the other anime adaptions of the show, or will it be possible to watch this without?
And no, i will not read the manga, i do not care for manga.
so let me confirm, do i need to watch the other anime adaptions or can i watch this without?
thank you

The anime adaptations? No, they deviate a lot partway through. However, due to the recent chapters in UQ Holder, it'd be best to read the manga to get a grasp of the whole situation.

I mean, you COULD watch UQ Holder without going into the prequel at all, but you'd missing out on a lot of world-building and other major details.

Na it's not necessary, but you will miss some stuff that they will mention

I went into reading UQ Holder barely knowing anything about Negima, and I still got alot out of it.

Actually nobody knows. Nobody has seen the anime yet.
Maybe it will explain the things properly or something.

Also the Negima animes aren't very fateful adaptation except the OVA's but they are very short fragments from the manga.

If UQ Holder anime will be 100% adaptation of the manga the knowledge only from the Negima anime will be insufficient (and even wrong).
It they adapt only the main stroy and explain carefully every Negima reference it would be possible to watch UQ Holder without reading the Negima manga.

Well according to Akamatsu's quote in Vol. 13, the UQ Holder! anime mostly will only gonna adapted around chapter 90 or so chapters and ignored the first 80 chapters as Akamatsu said Dana will ONLY appears in the OVA but not in the show itself.

I think this will be variant of the current story. I think itself will be it's own thing since the manga has changed significantly since it's inception. I just worry that the adaptation will be lame like other Negi universe animes.

it's sad they changed end of first anime, if they kept original story line then there would have been chance for second season and second season would have strong arc school festival.

biggest problem is that story starts as romance/comedy and first anime ends at border where author finally begun making bigger steps to turn it into action.

Agreed and those like School Festival arc are only able to adapted into the video game.

Damn I really really hope that new Negima phachinko/slot machine game that released in few days ago was release as a Anime remake instead of game, seeing Negi vs Kotaro first fight and Negi vs Chao fight in both 2D animation and 3G models in that game was awesome. (I only seen it in the trailer tho)

I found up a really ridiculous story element change in both Negima and UQ Holder! lol

Negima!: Romance>Action
UQ Holder!: Action>Romance

If you were talk about the UQ Holder manga well the manga was only having a big hiatus once at June 2016 and returned at October 2016, the manga was already returned for a long time ago it's just being release monthly.

I got a feeling they will do some flashback to introduce some of important negima characters like Rakan and Fate that never been adapted in any Negima anime iirc.

So if the director is not an idiot, he will let the non Negima manga reader (which should be the majority of the watcher) to enjoy the anime on it self.
