I couldn't bear to watch this anime tear down the goodness of the original manga (Negima will always be the best imo), god... 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):

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).

Just read the manga or at least watch the UQH OVA and you will understand why Touta is the first person Yukihime ever love.

The neigma fans will never admit the series was terrible.It was obvious the UQ holder plot was bad so shortening it to 12 episodes was for the best.

It reeks of unnecessarily convoluted,the ideas themselves were terrible.Why did the First Girl just appear?why's up with the time travel?Wtf is the villain doing that is related to wanting to "save the world"?So stupid.500 years.

I enjoyed it cause they did go to too much detail.The animators couldn't take the plot seriously.I can see why.Nobody would have been able to adapt it "right".

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.

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.

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

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...

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.

#1 Anime only,

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.

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.

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

"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.

Anyway, I was ready to give this a 7/10, but unfortunately the second half of this episode managed to decrease my score. Nice. 6/10

Just a note: Never read the manga, and I don't intend to.

As a fan of the UQ! Holder manga, this anime is complete trash. They tried so hard to pander it to Negima fans. I hope this never gets a S2 and maybe in 10 years they can try a re-make and actually do the series justice because it's much more than a "sequel" to Negima.

This is basically what The Last Airbender film was to the Avatar series. It doesn't exist.

Back to the manga to remind myself that the story and characters are actually amazing.

Two words......

Rushed af

Like seriously tho what was this? It felt like I was watching some side story episodes of Negima?!

First, what a shitty introduction Imo. I don't read mangas usually but I guess it would be easier for the manga readers to grasp onto the anime environment and characters quick.

Second, I've only watched it's prequel (the newer Negima?!) and what kind of a jump was that? I mean literally everything changed ffs I don't get it.

Third, there are so many questions regarding the characters and their lifestyles whomever they decided to drag in on this sequel from the first season.

Fourth, like the story consisted a shit ton of plotholes. They ran out of ideas or something? Combined negi's and all of his student's genes?(heres another question tho why tf did they even wanna make a child/clone like that in the first place?).

Im guessing here that JC didn't do a good job adapting the story looking at the angry fans here lol. It seems that shaft did a better job at introduction but JC seems to have put in irrelevant bits and pieces in this anime.

Im quite disappointed with the characters


First
Most of them are weak and lack skills and other abilities. I guess i just expected more because they give off the vibes of "strongest" within the organization.


Second
Why cant just kirie resets again and again to make plans so they can turn the tables more.

Third
Its just lame that Eva and Fate were dubbed as the strongest something but cant even put a fight.

Fourth
Lack of character development. I didn't see anyone improved, its like they just become like that in that episode. I guess i shouldn't demand much for 12 episodes. But the MC relying on his uncontrollable power is just too boring and its not even that uncontrollable.



But the scrubbing the back fifty times was actually funny. I just hope I could see more of UQ no. 2 and the glasses guy.

So glad to see the waifus of S1 again and naked, especially Konoka! She's so damn cute!

I really like that black sleeveless outfit of Evangeline. She's such a sexy lolita in it.

Anyway, it feels like 24 eps of content was cut and squeezed into 12 which is unfortunate since this series has a nice potential.

Despite all of that, I still enjoyed this anime thanks to the top level visuals. It was such a treat! The battles are quick and cool and the waifus are drawn so nicely! Overall a 7/10 for me.
