This is a provisional news based on unofficial sources.
The official announcement was made on Feb 12th.
Multiple blogs reported that Kodansha announced the second season of Negima OVA at the preview event of "Mahou Sensei Negima! OVA Shiroki Tsubasa Ala Alba". It will be four-volume series and bundled with manga "Mahou Sensei Negima!" Tankoubon. The first volume will be released this summer. If the sales of the new series are sufficiently good, they will make an anime movie of Negima.
The story of the new OVA will correspond to the Magic World arc of the manga.

Director: Shinbou Akiyuki
Character Designer: Jitsuhara Noboru ("Mahou Sensei Negima! OVA Shiroki Tsubasa Ala Alba", "Negima!?")

The total sales of the first OVA series were 245,000 copies.

Edited on Feb 15th==========
Akamatsu Ken announced in his web diary that the total length of the new series including the possible movie will be approximately 3.5 hours.

I'm kinda happy and kinda sad. I hoped for a new complete tv-series, that follows the manga, but OVAs are better than nothing.

I can't find anything these OVAs can cover, really because I think that everything that is left should be covered by a serie and not OVAs. I hope to god that it isn't the magic world arc, but that seems very likely...

I would rather be seeing the Chao arc.

Well since they will cover 4 volume it probably will be a season of 13 to 26 episode even if they call it ''OVA'' if they cover more than two chapter every episode they will miss thing.

I would rather see the magic world arc as a serie (or part of a serie) though, it's not enough with 4 OVAs, it's such a big event after all (as is chao's arc).

LOL! Marketing strategy O_O

Anyway, a 2nd set of OVA for the Magic World arc isn't so bad. I'm rather curious about the Negima! movie, if the sales succeed though. If SHAFT is doing it then that would be so awesome. SHAFT rarely made a movie so it'll be deff something to look forward to.

i imagine in the current economic climate, companies are not too keen on releasing money heavy tv series. it is no doubt that a TV anime would be good, but an OVA release might seem more attractive, in a good way.

Wait where did you see 4 episode? It cover 4 volume but I didn't saw anything about 4 ova.
There's some serie of OVA who are really long so I was thinking about more than four episode, which would be impossible to cover the magic arc. Except if the whole thing is an animated summary and not the true thing.

Oh wait, you're right, I misunderstood D:
But still, how many OVAs can that be?

Dunno but I expect more than 4 x 20 minutes episode... They won't be able to cover a lot of thing with that.
If they aren't doing a 13 to 26 episode OVA serie I expect them do to at the very very least, 4 x 40 to 60 minutes episode serie.

Re(?)read the chapter and then watch the show raw, it's super easy to understand.
There's no english sub yet for the second OVA, I'll watch the third raw as well anyway.

well, OVA is better than nothing i guess. but dont like the decision of basing it on the magic world arc. because it would leave a large time gap between the first fate encounter, kotaro's introduction, and the most famous school festival arc.

which makes me want to believe, that the information is not official and is a troll.

aww, then they are skipping the entire school festival arc then =/.
it would be awkward to have the magical world arc then backtrack to the school festival.

well, guess its that then, better than nothing.

Nice!

Although realistically, the only way that the Magic World Arc can be portrayed with any decency is through at least 6 Episodes (that's even if you take out filler parts) - What I'm hoping for is 8eps in total: 2 on each DVD disc.

I will guess the movie is at least an hour meaning that the series will consist of 3-4 episode ova. Sounds good.
