| Judging from what everyone else has said, they seem to be pretty knowledgeable about the Negima series. Seems like I should watch the original Negima seasons just to get a better picture of the prequel history to UQ Holder since they referenced it almost every episode. But everyone also said those adaptations were shit, so I'll probably watch them for completions sake and then go read the manga. As a new viewer I thought it was neat. Nowhere near a masterpiece, and nowhere near enough fanservice for how much the show tried to tout it, but it was always fun to watch. The fighting was pretty neat and usually well done. That scene where all of those girls claimed to be his grandmothers was a little ehhh, odd. C'mon now, Negi and that other chick can have it due to the DNA cloning, but "memories" don't count. Don't overkill it. By that logic the blonde grand daughter that likes him now would be considered incest lol. Fuck yea boi, was waiting for that Yukihime confession since episode 1. Did not disappoint. You could see her go all happy tsundere there. I'm assuming that it was implied that Touta is the third person she ever fell in love with. Since she didn't really seem all that upset with his confession. She says 500 years too late, but that was just the tsundere talking. Wouldn't mind seeing another season tbh. Just to see where the story goes. Worst case scenario I'll just read the manga, but it was at least fun to watch. |

| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Holyshit this is probably the most awful adaptation I have ever watched. |
| I have to take back everything I said bad about Rosario Vampire anime adaptation. The plots.... the logic.... the art... the animation..... AND THE WAY THEY ADAPTED FROM THE SOURCE MATERIAL....... ARE SO UGLY AND AWFUL AS FUCK!!!!! OMG why the fuck is this anime even exist if they don't even bother to follow the story faithfully to the manga???????????? This episode could be the worst episode ever in the ENTIRE NEGIMA AND UQH ANIME ADAPTATION (And I thought Asuna's death in the first anime was bad enough). FUCK YOU AKAMATSU AND THE ANIME STAFF TEAM TO HAVE US WATCHING THIS S**T!!!!!!!! Where the fuck is Alberio? Why Alberio didn't join the fight? Where is Ikku? Where the fuck is Fate after he used his rock spell? How the fuck Touta able to achieved the Raiten Taiso form WITHOUT EVEN TRAINING??? (OH GOD, at least the manga make A LOT OF SENSE THAN THE ANIME DOES!) HOW THE FUCK ASUNA CAN SUMMONED ALL THE 3-A CLASS STUDENTS TO FIGHT AGAINST NEGI?!?!?!?!?!? (Oh man, this screen remind me of one thing.... WHERE THE FUCK IS ZAZIE???) The whole plot in this episode is make completely NO SENSE even the plots is ACTUALLY BASED ONE THE MANGA. And also they basically just reused the same animation screen from the OVA to Touta confession screen, can't they at least edited the screen a little bit? Oh god, even the first two Negima anime series are WAY BETTER than this crap. Overall I will give this anime a 2/10 and the only reason why I give 2 instead of 1 is because the first two episode and EP8 are heavily based on the manga chapters and it still have a few good moments in this anime. Edit: Oh this anime make me so angry that I even forgot to mention about this, so Daria Midou replaced Yumi Shimura's role (Shimura is already retired since June 2016) to voiced Chisame, the voice is no bad but the voice are not deep enough. And they still haven't explained why Madoka's VA changed? I mean what happened to Mami Deguchi? Why didn't she return to voice Madoka in this anime and the Negima panchiko game and changed to Yuka Maruyama instead? |

| The only good thing UQ holder anime gave us was the much needed confirmation that setsuna and konoka are a pair. The rest of the anime was a shit adaptation. 4/10 |
DeathfireD said: Negima's anime adaptions have never been good. Why people think that would change is a mystery. Maybe because Shaft isn't the one to animate the anime this time? Lol but the UQH OVA are really decent and it's followed the manga story closer than this anime did. |

   |
| well that was something...nice flow of events with all the old characters...more loyal to the original stories though...this just seemed like a rip off |
 |
| I'll give it 6 for Negima worth of content in it. For UQ Holder adaptation it was too rushed and skipped way too much. Could go 24 episodes, be faithful to source material and everyone would be happy. With Dana help we can get 2nd season and fix some loose ends that were missing here. Would be happy if this somehow lead to Negima anime reboot. |
| While it started of really fun the last couple of episodes felt super rushed. The comedy was great and it was an ejoyable anime in general to me, but the pacing was messed up and to me it feels like there are alot of plotholes (And I didnt read the manga). |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Good final. I did enjoy the show. Don't care if they skipped some parts from manga because I don't read manga anyway. |
| I barely stand to look at the screen when all the girls from 3-A appeared ^^' so much forced fanservice... don't need to make sense, let's just put everyone there... is like the end of the first tv anime and that weird Negima Final movie all over again ^^' and, wow, they inserted Dana in the scene as a hook? ^^' anyway, overall, was an fine anime.... was good to see some scenes animated... one of my favorites is that when Cutlass is "torturing" Kirie and she smile at the end saying that they had won, and was cool in the anime too :) (despite of what came after, XD ) but, as a manga reader, is frustating to think how better would could be if the manga was properly adapted (and can't imagine how confusing this show would looks to who don't know the mangá ^^' ) |
| Curse of Ken Akamatsu getting terrible adaptation would forever continue. The only good episode in the whole show to me is ep1. |
| This was a terrible adaptation overall. I thought they would’ve changed Touta using lightning since they skipped that training but apparently not. I can’t deny that I had a big smile on my face when Class A appeared even if it was anime original. Touta’s proposal was random af lol |
 |
| so animators decided to bring the old negima gang back instead of going with the real scene of what happened of just asuna in the manga. Talk about battle ending changes. Well at least the confession to evangeline was still the same. The witch of dimensions showed up huh... i did not expect it. Well it was a nice ride. Also no worries guys I heard rumors that a season two is coming so... for Santa lovers: SANTA WILL SHOW UP! |

And what she meant is that he told her that he love's her after 500 years. She meant that he is late. Not that he is too late. How could Touta be the first person she ever fell in love with when she openly admitted that she loved both Nagi and Negi? |

I dropped this at Ep10 (only got half-way in ep 11 and I had to close the tab). What is EVEN this anime??? Not only did they skip two(?) arcs but also cut out SANTA?!? WHHHHHHAAAAAA???? I thought the Negima adaptation was BAD this... this tops that... I didn't think that was possible. I remember grinding through the first adaptation with nothing other than my love for this series to pull myself through that anime only to see this. To be fair, this is my reaction after I watched this episode (And the whole anime): pop_rocks_kiss said: PLS ANIME GODS GIVE IS THE ANIME REBOOT OF NEGIMA BY PRODUCTION I.G. OR SHAFT (the OVA they did was Godly- it's like this series was made for them to animate. fanservice and all). I highly agreed with you, but I will rather have ufotable do the anime remake instead of Shaft since they already fucked up this franchise twice (Thought one of then was Akamatsu's fault to make a horrible story plots). Jonesy974 said: How could Touta be the first person she ever fell in love with when she openly admitted that she loved both Nagi and Negi? Just read the manga or at least watch the UQH OVA and you will understand why Touta is the first person Yukihime ever love. |
genesic123 said: The neigma fans will never admit the series was terrible. You keep saying this franchise is terrible, and yet you never explain why is this franchise terrible. You just keep refer it bad by just reading some random guy's review without even actually reading the manga first (Or at least Wiki) and based it on the terrible anime with didn't even bother to follow it's source material instead. I will said this once again, if this franchise really terrible then WHY THE FUCK is these anime even EXIST? WHY is this franchise HAVEN'T CANCELLED YET? WHY is this franchise able to gone MORE THAN 10 YEARS if the story is REALLY TERRIBLE??? Can you answer these question for me? More important..... why are you even here? |

That question doesn't make sense to me.You missed the point. There are a lot of shitty anime that are popular.I enjoy UQ despite it being bad. Why do you guys constantly bringing up the bad "the manga" excuse and continue to watch the series? And you still ignored my question on why the manga is terrible in your opinion? Is this really that hard for you to explain it? I'm not sure if you just don't even bother to explain to the "stupid" fans or you just hate it for no reason. Back to your quote itself, yep there's a lot of "bad" anime here but that only depend on whatever it's good for your tastes or not though (For me I hate Naruto and One Piece so much but that's only because it's too boring in my tastes.), a real bad anime/manga is where the people keep bitching since from the start until the end and it's sales is very low that the company/magazine don't even planning to have a sequels/spin-offs and just cancelled it in just less than a few chapter. Continue watch the "series"? What "series" you are talking about? Not to me at least (I only watch the first Negima anime and this), I'm not sure how's other people opinion are but to be fair I will gonna drop this though if not because of the OVA and the first episode followed the manga story closely. Speak it more clearly, it's same reason as why are you keep watching this despite you hate this franchise so much. And why can't we "stupid" fans keep mentioning how they skipped the manga staffs when some of the plots are actually important? (I'm okay with unless/boring plots being skipped tho) They skipped too much important staffs that's caused what's make the manga being good (The plots, the development, and the decent fights), and added too much fan-service even more thn the manga does, for example like the "We are Negima gurlz students!" fan-service in this episode that make this so unwatchable and it's plot is so forced. But of course like you, I still enjoyed some of the moments in this anime despite it being bad. |

| Cool EPIC fights! but I still don't understand most of it, especially the part where there are so many school girls. That one of the problems when you're not following the original series...well anyway Yukihime turned down the marriage proposal of Touta cuz he's 500 years late! lolz 4/5. |
 |
| Hmm, dont really know how to judge this whole Anime. Lets just say, that it was nice it got an adaption. Was fun to watch most of the time, and since im an hardcore fan of the whole series, im fine with it. Negima was my very first manga and anime, many years ago. Of course the anime could have been so much better, but i still got the awesome manga to read, so no need to be sad. Plus i was very surprised they eneded up putting Dana in this last episode^^! Was really nice to see Asuna and the other girls in a new anime adaption and it seems thats what it was all about. |
This is just the beginning... |

ANIME_WIZARD420 said: Jonesy974 said: How could Touta be the first person she ever fell in love with when she openly admitted that she loved both Nagi and Negi? No, I meant she fall in love with touta before Nagi or Negi. She fall in love with him 500 years ago. When he went to the past and met her, that's when she fall in love with him. So, I mean she fall in love with him first even before she met Nagi and Negi. Touta is her first love. It's been confirmed in the manga. Oooh ok. That clarifies things. Also I guess is a hint at what she actually meant about that "500 years late" remark at the end there. It makes sense now that you explained it. |

| I've never really cared for the Negima universe, and this series hasn't really changed my opinion. This episode was probably the most disappointing episode of the season. |
Whoahoho said: WTf Tota isn't just a clone of Negi but a combination of all of his graddad's harem???? Now who is that fat lady watch from atop? #1 Anime only, #2 no idea why they put her there without any explanation. For now She works as plot device for season 2 / UQ Holder anime reboot and some other loose ends fix it. |
| Terrible show, was planning to read the manga, Negima then UQ, but this show made me drop it 4/10 |
TsundeReaper said: Terrible show, was planning to read the manga, Negima then UQ, but this show made me drop it 4/10 You're being deceived by the anime. How could you drop a good manga cuz the adaptation suck bulls? Seriously try the manga, it's like 100 times better. |
| Summing up I would say that it is not all to be rejected, but the moments not well chosen, are far greater than the best moments. The golden opportunities to do well were there, unfortunately it was wrong to adapt what you had in your hands. Half satisfied, anyway a sequel I would see it. 6/10 |

Mostly bcoz I've read a lot of spoiler in the wiki but also Like I said you're super mislead by the trash adaptation. There's a training arc in the manga that makes the power level makes much more sense. Fighting direction is not terrible in manga.. Like I said you're seeing like 20% of the manga material, and anime constantly skipping stuffs. Sigh... Another good franchise got mislead by trash anime and people thought the manga is like that.. The manga has some of the best/ coolest battle scene/ penal in any shonen. |

That's JC staff for ya I guess I'll still give it a try then Also, is Fate that white hair kid Eva trashed in the previous anime? |
| These last 3 episodes are about where I'm at in the translated manga. So I guess i'll see how badly adapted this whole section was. I still don't understand what happened to the ending of the Negima manga. In the end were Negi and Nagi not at the school with all the girls and it gave an epilogue for all of their progress? Was that entire portion retconned to a dead Nagi, and Negi now possessed? |
 |
| Screw the Touta x Eva plotline, was trash in the manga, is trash in the anime. It's rushed as all heck, the anime skipped tons of arcs from the manga, and I have not read the story arc from the last few episodes and I've read about 100 chapters from the manga. On one hand I am glad they kind of omitted most of the trash filler harem romcom chapters from the series, but on the other hand we're missing out on some pretty good story sans the trash Yukihime x Touta storyline. Aside from the lovestory between Eva and Touta which is a major reason I dislike the UQH series (I shipped Negi x Eva and Touta's cucking me, and messed up Eva's characterization to fit this timeline, and she's supposed to be his freakin foster mother), it's annoying that a lot of powerups/abilities were given to Touta just because he's got the genes of Negi and Asuna, magia erebea, lightning god mode (god damn I need the lightning god mode 2: Negi ver. animated from MSN series). A lot of it felt like he didn't really earn them, and that's also true when it comes to his connections with other characters, it's like he's gifted a really good pathway and he just had to walk on it. It wasn't quite the same in the original MSN series, where Negi had to work hard to achieve everything he's got despite being a very gifted individual. Best part about UQH has to be everything involving the original MSN, from the classmates from class 3A, Negi himself, Fate Averruncus, Evangeline Mc Dowell, Jack Rakan, Nagi, Mage of the Beginning, and basically the main plot. I felt a piercing pain in my heart seeing Negi submit to Mage of the Beginning after the interaction with Asuna in this episode as the mark on his face became more apparent, so sad to see him in this state.. knowing that he had a big heart in the original MSN series.. I really hope they could find a way to save Negi in this time line. pls gib me dat juicy msn adaptation plox |

| My first dip into UQ Holder and I can see why it's popular. It's really a wild ride! I would love it if like HxH it would get a new series at some point adapting the entire manga properly. |
| "Seriously WTF did I just watch?" was the first thing that came in my mind after completing this show. I haven't watched or read the other Negima franchise but if this is the core concept of the show than I am better off without them. I read some reviews that said the creators didn't adapt this well and so on. But I don't know what difference would it make since logic and rationality are not-existent. The show is definitely rushed since half of the things are unexplained and pretty left up to viewer imagination like the who does Yukihime love or why is Touta so stupid. But then I stopped caring. The whole immortality thing is also as ridiculous as it sounds since half of characters are randomly immortals . And the main characters seem like masochists who enjoy being gutted by the their OP enemies instead of killing them. It feels like they are going to be in this endless loop of good guys don't win and bad guys don't loose till the end of the manga presumably. Well it is the same trend that has been going on in shonen anime. But what I hated the most was how it displays seriousness with all the blood/gore and then proceed makes a joke out of it with that lame humor. It just kills the intensity or excitement of the situation. Anyways I thought this show was garbage or maybe this anime/manga is only for the shonen fans of the series. |
| OK, it was too rushed... Seeing again the full class was nice, but it was a weird way to end the anime. The 3-4 last episodes were so rushed that some parts were hard to understand, especially the flashback with Eva. It's too bad because the beginning was entertaining and the animation is good. One day, I should read Negima the story looks interesting. |
| not a very satisfying ending, in fact, it's horrible. I don't believe Ken Akamatsu would write something like this in the manga, so I would assume the manga should be better at ending the arc. it feels so many development were left behind and they didn't animate them. I mean, "look, it's our world hero, appeared in front of us, in the middle of Mahora tournament, who's supposed to be dead. and there's Eva and Fate too, our world hero best friend. let's get excited watching them interrupted the tournament." really? that's what comes to my mind when I watch from episode 10 to 12. I was gonna rate at least 7/10 if they give a good ending in this arc, but it looks like I'm gonna stay at 6/10, that's only because of good battle scene. |
