Negima!
| What is really annoying for me is how they skipped the festival arc. We have all the other OVA's but they pick up from the point that Chao leaves. The festival arc is fun, you got the time-traveling, the whole school fight, and the tournament. You could get a 12-13 episode there, couldn't you... I would really like to see it. Anyone else? |
| I'd like to see it, but this series always tends to disappoint me. All of the spin-offs, sequels and remakes seem to always stop short. Even the remake started the ball rolling and once again dropped it. I'd like to see this series done properly from start to finish. Like I said before, they seem to mess it up every chance they get. It would've been one of the top anime. They need to roll out a 50+ episode season. |
 |
| Yea, i think we all agree to that! Or at least show the festival arc before proceeded... And dont give us an OVA of only 4 episodes... |
| The festival arc could even have a good video game adaptation, but yeah i would also want a true anime adaptation |
| Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want too a Festival Animation!!!! I think.... (I REALLY think) that Akamatsu should start to think better whom he gives the copyright for the animations! |
 |
| Fuck yes, the festival arc was the best out of all the manga imo. Mahou sekai arc is really great too but without the festival arc it look like they skipped too much of the manga =/. I really hope that Akamatsu fucking stop agreeing for OVA and get a studio to make a remake of the anime following the manga exactly, that would be so much ownage. Knowing that Negima is very popular I don't even know why he don't do it, maybe he wait to finish his manga before =/. But giving how much they would have to animate I can't help to think that they would have at least 100 episode before they catch up to where they are. |
 |
| Don't count out Magic World arc just yet, saw some preview clips for this OVA & it has some pretty impressive visuals on it. |

chinlamp said: They need to do a Brotherhood on this series. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We may all write the sugestions to Akamatsu XDDD No seriously.... I'm agree that the last tow OVAs series have bean great... but what happen with the arcs that weren't animated, or weren't WELL animated? I really wish that SHAFT (the ones who has been producing the last two OVAs series) would realize the potencial of a new and well animated anime of Negima T.T |
|
| what is funny is that only NOW SHAFT is trying to adapt something of the manga (but with Akamatsu's money), with the excuse: "if we sell ******** we can make a new tv series, if we sell ******** we can make a movie, if we sell ******** we can make more OVAs" why the hell did they make Negima!? then? why now they are interested in it ? seems like Akamatsu is cursed, he is famous and all but nobody can adapt his manga properly |
 |
| Really, if they would have made everything right from the beginning, Negima would've been one of the most popular series today. I mean, it's still really popular, but just think what would've happened if it actually had an anime that followed the manga and that did things the right way instead of fusing the original with a bunch of chupacabra and bad animation with stupid and pointless story lines. I was seriously impressed with the first (3) episodes of Negima!?, even through it wasn't what I wanted it was still pretty good. It's a shame they had to go make the anime so damn stupid the rest of the episodes, how hard can it be to do things right? Immediately, Haruhi's Endless Eight arc springs to mind... Who was the genius behind that? "Yeah, let's show the same episode eight times, everyone loves Haruhi so that will probably work right?". Negima has the same genius working with it (the ending of series one for example... The one who came up with that one deserves a slap in the face). The first season is also pretty strange in the way that it changed a lot of stuff the manga had (example of this would be the home trip to Ayaka's house which Asuna and Negi did in the manga. In the anime THE WHOLE CLASS followed them) probably the thing you would've noticed right away is the hair colors... Is it really THAT hard to find the right hair color in the color palette? The second season also had major flaws as well (not counting the animation). They constantly tried to focus the camera on EVERYONE in the class. Even if the story in that specific episode was about one person the focus would constantly switch between that person and 30+ others, everyone isn't active at the same time, every character don't need 5 minutes of fame in each and every episode. When I saw the other OVA, that's when I saw how I really wanted the serie to be from the start (apart from some animation flaws). The animation kept true to the manga, there were no "original style", the style looked like it was taken from the manga and I loved it. The story went on as the manga did (although a bit rushed since it was an OVA). I would be so happy if they could make a new 50+ episode anime with this style while keeping true to the manga. Long rant is long, but damn it - they better make things right soon, starting with this OVA. I hope to god they won't try to squeeze the whole magical arc into it, that would just be retarded. In fact, I'm getting a bit concerned about this, because I can't see any other logical explanation to what they actually can show. There is no part from the start of the magic arc that they can fit with four episodes. |

| a "reanimation" is near impossible the studio that has rights to the anime does not have the budget to make a series of this |

I really can´t understand why this manga hasn´t a decent animation! |

The thing is that SHAFT don't have the budget for a long runner and a good Negima anime would have to be a long runner. (It's pretty long after all and the best parts are later.) Plus SHAFT have a pretty eccentric style which they wouldn't be able to keep up with for so long. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei however is perfectly suited for SHAFT and even then the seasons were split up with breaks. The only reason SHAFT got the series was because they are suited to parody and they wanted to make a parody. so unless the rights go to another studio, there's no chance for "real" run, huh there goes my hopes and dreams for my favorite manga =C |

And that is what makes no sense at all if that is true, why now they want money to adapt the manga? Where did they take the budget to make Negima!?, a 26 episodes original anime? Yeah 26, not 13!; isn't that a bit too risky for a company? And now with the possible movie, what can they do? The festival arc? Some random parts of the magical wolrd? This is all we can expect from Shaft |

| So who want to burst into Shaft studio, kill everybody then make the studio explode? |

chinlamp said: What you said is a little mixed up. You talked about the Chupacabra, which appears in Negima!? but then you go on to talk about the second season as a seperate entity, when the second season IS Negima!? The anime with the same name as the manga is the first season... well, first attempt at making an anime for one of the best mangas of all time imo. Again, I'll say it: They need to do a Brotherhood on this. I know fully well what the different series are called. The bad animation and storyline applies to both series. I do agree my post was a mess, however my point is: How the hell can it be so hard to do things right from the beginning? The first series (yes, the one that follows the manga somewhat) had a really low budget and pretty crap animation but it could've still done an acceptable job by following the manga more instead of changing a bunch of stupid things (and in the end the whole story line). Even through the second serie was a spin-off (Negima!?) it still did a whole bunch of things that was senseless and stupid (like the chupacabra) that could've been avoided in order to make the serie better. I really liked the direction the serie was going in the beginning and if it had continued like that instead of... whatever it was it did, it might actually have been good. But yes you are correct, they need to make a brotherhood (a high budget brotherhood) of Negima. |

| I don't know why the fuck Akamatsu signed up with SHAFT, sure they are a great studio but they are know for their short series, as far as I know they never did a long run serie. |

Love Hina an Negima! weren´t the best animations did it? |

| I have to disagree with the bad animation remarks about the first series "Mahou Sensei Negima!". Please don't bunch it in with Negima?!. Negima?! (the second series) was shit and I'll never understand why people say it was good when it clearly wasn't in many aspects. The animation was horrible and the story did not follow the manga AT ALL. It wasnt till the last 2 episodes that it was remotely interesting. As for the past OVA's...they've all stayed pretty faithful to the manga. Animation has been decent so no complaints from me on the OVAs. This OVA in particular has been amazing. As disappointed as I am that they skipped the festival arc, I'm still happy that they decided to continue making Mahou Sensei Negima! OVA's. I have to agree with you guys about making one seires. They could have made so much money if they skipped on all the alternative stories and OVAs and just made one long series. I'm hoping they will at some point. |

It wasnt till the last 2 episodes that it was remotely interesting. Most of us think that THE ANIMATION of the second series is so much better than the one... I´m aware that the story is completely different and that´s why a new manga called "Negima!? neo" started when the anime was close to end... but in animation terms it´s so much better than the second one, and opened the way to this awesome animation fo the most recent OVAs (Negima!? and the OVAs are made by SHAFT)... And about the series, let´s not ask too much (I know, I want it to!!! >.<)... but the business isn´t good at all... f.ex. a very popular series "Darker than BLACK" new season has only 12 chapters... they companies don´t need adventures... they need financial security (it´s a shame, but after all, this is still a business TT0TT) |

| The XEBEC anime had horrible production values. The animation was cancerous to look at. It also had a horrible original ending and it missed the point of the manga completely. The SHAFT anime was simply a spin off series. Hell, it even has a spin off manga devoted to it. To rate it as a direct adaptation would be unfair. |
 |
| Putting the original ending aside, the first season stayed pretty damn faithful to the manga. I'm not sure why you guys think the graphics where worse then the second. I found the second sloppy, at least the characters where anyway. |

If you compare the graphics of the recent OVA are more close to the grate origianl graphics... and all this "new" graphics were developed using the second animation as base ^^. Any way, the graphic thing is a matter of likes XP... but the story, as Haylas said, the second one is more a spin off than an adaptation... |

This is what they mean Mahou Sensei Negima! and Negima!? i did like the story for the 1st series more although Bad example. They both look the same lol. BTW. Season one used less detail for facial features which made them look smoother and clearer. The second season used far to many freehanded scribbles to add detail. Not my cup of tea. @taiyougumi - the new OVA has a very large difference in quality compared to both series 1 and 2. It's very noticeable how much better it is compared to the two. I know the second was a spin off. Never the less it was still shit. |

| I´m not saying that both have the same quality, but SHAFT developed it taking the second animation as base. |

| I agree completely with you guys. Negima could've been just as big (and better) than Bleach and Naruto if they had made it right. Hell they could've put in lots of fillers and it still would've been better then the crap we've gotten so far. Edit: LOL someone voted no. |
 |
| As much as I would like a remake of the Mahou Sensei Negima anime, one which close follows the manga, I don't see it happening. Fullmetal Alchemist only got remade because of its massive popularity. After all, Akamatsu Ken and SHAFT aren't pushing for a new series, they are pushing for a film that will take place after the OADs. For now they will closely follow the manga, but one can assume that afterward, the film will diverge from the manga in a way similiar to the first anime adaption. One where the writing staff cuts out character development and ends up with a badly written ending to the story. |

| I think you guys should read this topic --> LINK Pretty much the reason why things were done the way they are done for Negima is explained. I'd love a manga TV series but I'm also afraid of them messing things up >_>. |
| Voted yes. The more Asuna the better! As long as the animation isn't too crappy, and they actually stick to the story unlike XEBEC did with MSN, then I'd love too see it animated. Anything derived from my favorite manga story interests me. |
