To all the Negimaniacs out there, here's something possibly to look foward too.

Done by the SHAFT [Moonphase, Pani Poni Dash!]. :o

BTW, the plot will be different from both the previous anime series and the manga, so who knows what will become of this. :/

I've been waiting for this version, so...

Wai!!! OF COURSE I'LL WATCH!!!

I too, have waited for the revamped Mahou Sensei Negima! I'll watch it because the original un-good looking one, had a really crappy feel. I saw some compared screen shots and was like, WOW!!!







HELL YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'LL WATCH IT!!!!!!

I'll check it out.  Might as well.  But first and foremost, I'm sticking to the manga continuity.

Seconded to Tsubasa's opinion, since I'm waiting for #9....

Doesn't say which which television station will it be on. (Probably TV Tokyo.) I only watched part of the first one because of the seiyuu and not much else.  Now with this one, I don't see why I should watch this one.

Oh yeah.  Of course, this means that there will be more "Negimahou" radio.  Anyone know if that's good, seeing that I never heard it myself?

Edit: I figured out why I'm watching this one now.  I asked myself the question, "How many more times will I see Shiratori Yuri-san in an anime?" and I realized that this could possibly be her last one.

Well, first manga I really read into was Love Hina and so I'm sure I'll give Ken Akamatsu more credit then he deserves (cause I'm biased like that--not really). I'll be sure to watch Negima this time around (again). I just hope that  Setsuna gets more screen time and I'll get to see this groupie:

God, I don't even know their names... How about 1, 2, and 3?

Believe me, the web-radio was awesome. The DJCD releases of them even went to the top of the charts in the animate.tv shop. I really hope to hear them again [or on Himitsu no Houkagou :wink: ]

BTW, Pani Poni Dashi + Negima = http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3074612792169967730 (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3074612792169967730)  :lol:

More Sayo, ChaChaMaru and Setsuna for me.
Perhaps more Yuna and Ako as well.

Once again straying from the original manga plotline, oh why is my favorite manga-ka okay with this? Oh well, Ill still watch in hopes of some general correlation to the original work.

Is there any indication of character revamping? When I say this I mean completely changing the "attitude" of a character. Now, this doesn't mean I want a character dead or lifeless, but I'd think it cool if there was an intelligent change in a character's overall feel. I'll be honest with the original show. I felt that it was light. It was niether hardcore harem (good in my opinion) nor hardcore comedy (though I laughed at times). However, now I'm hoping for a more serious romance. Take out the oldman and put in a hot bishoujo or something. Give Negima some competition (or maybe he is too cute he blows the competition out of the water?). Regardless if the changes are good or bad, I'm going to try and beat ChaChaMaru in a staring contest. Here we go!

Btw: Thank you to Setsuna for telling me the character names. It was highly appreciated, mam! Thank you!

Back to the staring contest...hmmm...

In the case of the characters, I think only their looks/designs change. I'm pretty sure their personalities would still be the same; otherwise it wouldn't feel like Negima, right? I think the only revamping they'll do would be the situation/story.

The only changes we'd probably see are some hair styling changes, such as color perhaps.

Whee; Sayo and ChaChaMaru both in the same pic.

I just noticed that Shinbou Akiyuki's directing.  Sweet.

Quote from: Bata-kunDoesn't say which which television station will it be on. (Probably TV Tokyo.)

I hear it's going to be two OVAs.  And at least one is going to be shown at some event.

You know, that's a very good reason.  I've been a fan of her since Cherry.  My favorite seiyuu on the show though is Noto Mamiko.  Then I suppose Horie Yui.  Itou Shizuka has been gaining favor with me recently too.  Unfortunately for the latter two, I don't really care much for their characters in Negima. ^^;

Noto Mamiko is definitely awesome as she generally voices the timid type characters I enjoy watching develop but concerning this show its Akeno Watanabe FTW, how I love Chachamaru.

"I like-a to do-a the Chacha."

Much love for Konoka, Eva, Nodoka, and Setsuna.  I suppose Chachamaru and Sayo too.

Yeah.

You sure?  I'll have to look again.

Nice call. I like them too about as much as everyone in here. Well, maybe not as much cause I'm sure we have some euphoric fans of Negima here. I love the art though!

Uho!  You're right!  Only two OVAs.

There are recordings from the Negima Premier event [last last Sunday] in the Negima web radio [Himitsu no Houkago pt. 2] on the mainsite

In Japanese of course, but nice to hear their voices again. :]

Quoting someone from the AQS forums:

Quote from: Jaceryl@AQS
At first he simply talks about how he and his assistants were busy working and such, as well as how busy everybody was, how Satou Rina (Negi) and the new girl playing Chao came up to him (and how cute they were), Kanda Akemi (Asuna) announcing a new song, along with other things; everything before getting to the actual meat of the subject: the anime.

In section 1, Akamatsu goes on to talk about the anime. Needless to say, he was thoroughly impressed. He thought the animation, the sound, and everything was awesome, kind of like a movie version. The anime is 26 minutes long and seems like a beefed up version of chapters 61-62. He can definitely see the time and care put into it. He also mentions something about getting a copy of the VHS with the opening and ending. I didn't really understand what he said about the opening, but I'm assuming he's saying there's no stage version (karaoke version?). He also said the ending is like Happy Material.

In section 2 he talked about the Cast Talkshow, and how Rina said that Dai Mahora Fest totally burned them out, and then talked about aspirations from this point forward. Akamatsu also stated they all seemed very pretty (but of course, they always are). Also, he got a really good seat in the front, so it was good.

In 3 he talked about the live corner, Happy Material being easy choreography, the new song Ohayou!, which had a nice percussion and base line, and Kagayaku Kimi e (sung by all members).

In section 4, there was a little thing about cast impression. First up is the new girl playing Chao (Takamoto Megumi, I believe), who actually is a working college student, so she was very nervous due to a large amount of pressure and stress. But with some warm cheers from the guest seats, she seemed to feel relaxed.

He then states (as MV said already) that Volume 15's special edition will contain the Spring Special. It seems they'll be using this approach as opposed to selling copies as to make obtaining a copy cheap and easy.

Also: he got all the cast members' signatures again. ^^

After that he goes on to talk about sending feedback to the anime producers and a potential drawing for winning autographed QUO cards, which is open to both people who saw it and didn't get to see it (1 winner from each).

Dag nab it!  Someone has to get me that "Negima" radio album! XD

Oh.  It was posted on Kodomo no Hi.  Why didn't I see this earlier?  Oh yeah.  Never mind.

GAINAX And SHAFT On Negima 2nd Stage
It's been revealed animation studios GAINAX and Shaft will be teaming on the production of a second Mahou Sensei Negima! TV series to be directed by Akiyuki Shinbo (Nanoha / Paniponi Dash). Star Child Records will also be involved and this will mark the first time in many years since they last partnered with GAINAX. No other details are available but expect a Fall 2006 broadcast debut in Japan on TV Tokyo

I grabbed that from animenewsservice.com. (gee, I thought the site went dead XD)

If they revamp and started anew, I hope they stay faithful towards the manga. I really want to see the Kyoto Arc and The Mahora Festival arc done right :D

Quote from: RyuHayabusaIf they revamp and started anew, I hope they stay faithful towards the manga. I really want to see the Kyoto Arc and The Mahora Festival arc done right :D

Yes, me too. I need to see those arcs animated and animated well.

I don't think they'd go back since it already has been done [poorly], but I suspect they will at least take off from the mahora festival. If they continued from where they left off from the summer special, would Class 3A follow the manga and do a haunted house or follow the [crapped up Xebec version] anime and do a play? I hate to admit, but I'd rather see a play [or a musical even XD].

Didn't want to seem like I'm reviving old threads, but there were some new pics from the OVA from this week's latest chapter released:

Looks shnazzy. D: Wonder which sub group will take 'em.

Watched the first episode of this series, "Negima?!" subbed by Mahora, which I'm assuming is an ad-hoc fansub group.

Pani Poni Negima?
Magister Negi Moonphase?

I dunno. But it sure is an odd deal. The serious bits are actually really serious and animated as such, making it seem like a straight-up action show except that then it goes all Tsukuyomi on us and gets goofy and normal Negima like. There are also lots of random goofy details, like the chalk marks on the board behind Negi during his first class. It's kind of weird but kidn of interesting. And the plot so far is moving slightly faster than the old anime, which is good, following generally the same direction as that and the manga but with more focus on the Evangeline vs. Thousand Master bits.

*n00b question flashlight*

What is Negima?

BTW, that's Pockystix's fansub group that did it. I'm going to get their subs and support them hehehe/

Amol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negima go here.

Watched the second episode. It's definitely SHAFT-style, and I'm starting to like it quite a bit. The stylized animations for the flashbacks are awesome; also, Takamichi is much cooler in this version. Overall, I'd say this is definitely a better version of the anime, even if less faithful to the manga.

fei ku PWNS j00.

*in keanu reeves-esque voice*

She knows kung-fu

she even says "aru" after every other sentence!!! if that doesnt win, i don't know what does omggenericchinesephrasesweatdroolorgasm

I actually watched "Negima!?" before watching Mahou Sensei Negima. I guess that softened the blow of the first series, lol. I've watched up to the... 4th episode? It's so shojo.

I like how they depict Evageline as the key villan. :]

Yeps, this is gonna be a lampoonish anime.  :P

I think my favorite part was the 2ch emoticons when Chiu gets shocked into seeing she's 2nd place, back in episode 5. But overall I really like the style of the animation here. It's sort of like SHAFT's job on Tsukuyomi, only this is the kind of show where the action was MEANT to be broken up by off-the-wall humor (whereas it seemed out of place sometimes there) - and also this time they had a budget for action scenes - hooray!
