Akumatsu seems to have *terrible* luck getting any of his work properly adapted for the screen (whatever one thinks of his work).
I can find pieces of the Love Hina anime collection I like very much (sometimes I'll pull that up). There's one episode and a number of scenes in Negima (first season) I actually enjoy. I really didn't mind the SHAFT OVAs or the "alternative" set up and premise for Shinbo's take on Negima!? (but it plowed into the ground after a handful of episodes and seemed to lose its way).
The only way the LH manga might ever get a decent treatment I've decided is if KyoAni takes it on because they seem to be one of the few teams to actually respect the original material (even when they change a bit of it).
That is pretty much unlikely, though, and they'd still have to slice out a lot of the secondary sidestories.
