Negima!? Natsu (Summer) OVA

[suguru]

It might be good to start a thread for the Negima Summer OVA, since it'll be out in a couple weeks (November 22nd). Based on the screenshots it looks like they're taking the fanservice up a level with an onsen episode:

There's a thread for "Negima!? Haru OVA", but I thought this was a new OVA. Hmmm....maybe I misunderstood.

/goes to research

/Edit...this is what I found on Wikipedia (so it might be wrong):

Spring and Summer OVAs

Two OVAs directed by Akiyuki Shinbo and produced by Studio Shaft have been announced, a Spring OVA and a Summer OVA. The Spring OVA called Negima Haru! was shown to a private audience in Japan in April 2006 and was released for the public in DVD in October 25 2006. It is based on the trip to the Southern Islands in volume 7 of the manga. The Summer (Natsu) OVA will also be shown to a private audience in September 2006, and the DVD is scheduled to be released in November 22 2006. Its plot is currently unknown.

Negima!? Haru (Spring) Special!? OVA and Negima!? Natsu (Summer) Special!? OVA are two different OVAs.

The spring OVA is about Negi and his class' crazy vacation on an island.

The summer OVA is more Nodoka and Yue lovelove-centric. The premise of the plot is that Nodoka discovers a magic spell for finding the "destined person tied to you", AKA lover and the red thread, in the library. With the help of Yue, they manage to activate the spell and create a red thread tied to Nodoka, with the other end bound to Negi. At first Nodoka is overjoyed, but she finds out that the spell is a joke. However, no matter how they try to cut the thread, it refuses to be severed. Apparently it will disappear on its own after a certain amount of time, so Nodoka has to follow Negi around for the duration. Fan service abound, involving more characters, like in the aforementioned bath scene.

...At least that's what I read in the Amazon.co.jp product description.

Might as well post the link to my thoughts for the Summer OVA here as well.

Looking forward to the 22nd (21st actually).

Well, its mainly about Nodoka - so i'll be in love with the OVA. I'd pretty much be saying that about any of the characters, but there are some that stand out~

I'm hoping we'll get more like this for different characters - Setsuna & Konoka are what i have in mind.

Ah, so it's going to be ecchi, yes!!!

Edit-Noo, youtube has only raw episodes T_T

Yaaa! All ecchi! What's their problem!?! *nose starts to bleed profusely*

[Burning Man]

Nodoka FTW! Negi's Girlfriend she should be in end!

[Shinji103]

Well, between both the Spring and Summer OVAs, we've got enough fanservice to last at the very least a 26 episode series. Guess that means Shaft is going to stick to its not-so-much-fanservice-if-any-at-all style for the TV series, lol.

Of course, they could be just waiting to drop a nuke bombshell on us in the last episode and flood our brains with rampant fanservice in the finale.

Personally, I'd like to see that. Just to see if and in what way the anime community blows up over it.

[Vexx]

Wow.. and I thought the first OVA was "skin city" .... yeah, this must be the "animation team gets it out of their system" show so they don't go insane trying to stay within the censor restrictions of a dinnertime anime in Japan.

I'd say they're still slipping a fair amount under the radar in the series though.

I agree. Nodoka x Negi.

I love these specials. I hope that they do a Halloween special with Evangeline and a Christmas/New Year special with Nodoka again.

[Kaoru Chujo]

Actually kind of sweet. Nodoka@NotoKawaii is just outstanding. Now that's moe. And the fanservice was nice: effective and tasteful, as I like to say -- except for the tentacles, which I could do without. But it's like these were practice sessions for the true awesomeness of the look of the TV anime. Not quite as good, to my eye. Shinbou was "chief director," but the director was Oonuma Shin, who worked with Shinbou on PaniPoni.

Need more Nodoka! I wish she becomes Negi's girlfriend in the end. (even though chances are low)

[Deathkillz]

wow...wow...wow...
this does nodoka some serious justice!
throughout the whole ova she gains point on all factors! ^_^
amazing fanservice/suggestive actions in almost ever scene makes me wonder if ill have any blood left to stay concious

and asuna has just been owned on soo many levels

I was nearly blinded too from excessive blood loss. And agreed that there were some innovative bikini tops. Kamo-kun expressed his reaction the best when he posed in the following fashion:

Oh, and I thought that I was watching a porn movie with the first OVA...
