Hmm... I don't know. The girls don't really seem all that loli, to me. They're pretty well-developed, even if some might have flatter chests. Think Mayumi Thyme-- flat chest but none of the loli. D=

I think there's just shota Negi. -Nod.-

This is going to be fun if it's done live action. It can be cheesy in it's own way. Look at the live action sailor moon for example lol XD

and they used real 14-16 year old girls. Now they are big XD

3-14-07 (1:40AM EDT)---- Negima Drama In Doubt?
Yesterday's blog entry over at actress Ai Tanimoto's journal that mentions Negima will become a live action TV drama at some point in the future has been deleted. With the only source for the news now having fallen by the wayside, where does the idea of such a project currently stand? One opinion is that the news has to be genuine because according to Tanimoto's comments she had a confirmed role in the series, passing some audition screening stage. The thinking being that no professional thesbian worth his or her salt would be caught dead prattling about online about getting a role that didn't exist. On the one hand we have the record low TV ratings that have plagued the 2nd season of the anime in Japan. Can further renditions and extrapolations of the story endure economic viability? On the other we have series creator Ken Akamatsu who made a web journal entry back on February 27th indicating "There is an announcement that will become a big surprise when April comes. It is a project that has not been done before." Meanwhile, an entry by the President of Negima rights manager Marvelous Entertainment over at their site mentions "The next term will also involve enriching the lineup of cost conscious live action dramas." Still other uncofirmed fan rumors state the drama will happen in 2008 and to look in a future issue of Weekly Shonen Magazine (where the manga serializes) for the official announcement.

Update.

So... it COULD happen. But there's a chance it won't.

Considering that Negima?! has been marked as one of the lowest rated series (To disbelief) recently in Japanese viewer polls, perhaps the novelty is fading.

2ND UPDATE:

Either way, said friend is wife of Ken Akamatsu and she confirmed the news, but said that it's probably going to be in a late tv slot.

Late TV slot...

Anyone who has jacked a Japanese Satellite Signal to watch their late night TV knows what this means...

This reminds me... Does anyone remember the You're Under Arrest - Live Action?

Was I the only person that saw it? Am I the only person that wants to remember it?

*Shrug* Oh well...

[Magical Senpai]

Watch Negi be played by that same 30-year old guy who played Kyon in the live-action Haruhi flick.

Actually, I did watch it, one of my first J-doramas despite my never having watched YUA's anime. Can't believe Hermes-tan is the same actress as Natsumi. ;o

Onoz... don't tell me the live-action will be pr0n. D;

Happy Ready Go.

...ok, I see a COUPLE that look worth the effort. But... if it is filmed without any difference, might as well not call it Negima in the first >>.
