Go watch Shuffle.



...Negima is shonen. No one suggested it should do anything innovative.
nor was this anymore innovative than your "eroge" fest nor your typical "shounen harem" either.

I wanted Ami to "win," but I was never disappointed because I never had hope of her winning in the first place, because the show is so predictable. Why would I set myself for some ultra disappointment?

How long can it stay interesting when the whole story is about the process of him ending up with the girl who has overwhelming amount of odds ALREADY stacked in her flavor?

Sure, the show is pretty funny, I give it that. But for how it is setup, I find it hard to take its romance drama element any more serious than your typical run-of-the-mill shounen harem.
