Maybe we should distinguish between "art" "animation" "special effects", and things like "backgrounds" and character design.
Negima!? is fairly "arty" so far - use of watercolor or even oil styles, some PPD hyperdeformation, quick cuts. The animation itself is fairly efficient and I suspect they're saving their budget for later episodes when there's less standing around and more moving. The special effects budget is probably as pricey as Nanoha's (lots of compu-time). The backgrounds range from highly detailed to almost "Chuck Jones" surreal.
<shrug> I think anyone with a clue is going to watch at least a handful of episodes before they leap to judgement.
