I'm enjoying the show but have decided it should have been titled:
Negima!? A Freaking Big Pile of Omake!!!! There's been about 5 minutes of actual plot line in the last six episodes and the rest is just skits and inverted character bits. Very entertaining but just mostly a lot of madness for now. (wanders off singing "Chupa, chupa, chupa ...")

yeah, its not like we can't spot her striking beauty without the guns as a reference having her guns out all the time really reduces her dramatic entrances

Those are sticks that are used for a type of fortune telling or divination. I think it is called something like "Chien Tung" (sp?), though what she has could easily be some other variant. They showed Konoka using them for this purpose in episode #5 (starting about time mark 5:34 of the Mahora fansub).

that will depend which part you are talking about.
i must say that the chao's arc is simply fantastic : lots of characters development, while being the least plot holed arc. (the chara development event don't seem to be filler)

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree, I think the new manga arc (I'm assuming you're talking about the school festival arc) is great. But I also think Negima!? is interesting and funny. I just think you could replace the Negima characters with Pani Poni Dash characters with little to no effort and have it be just as funny/interesting.

If you mean what's going on in the Del Rey release version (volume 11) I might agree ... I'm finding the whole festival and tourney sequence kind of 'stretched thin' in terms of getting to know characters more intimately - it reads more like a news report in many sequences. For people who like action for the sake of action, it may be okay (but I'm finding that Ken has a tough time communicating movement in his frame sequences). There are many *segments* within the festival arc that I'm finding great (particularly relating to Nodoka, Mana, and Setsuna) ... so piece-wise I'm finding it satisfying.
If you mean the events up to the latest Japanese release, I used to follow the forums relating to that but they got spoilerish enough I decided to stop. I'm simply not going to compare Negima!? to the manga -- they're two substantially different puppies. I happen to like them both.

Ill agree that the tournament sub-arc of the school festival got abit tiresome but it had some good pay offs there in terms of character development and such, so I wont completely trash it.
As for the non-tournament things there I loved it...Lots of great character interaction and more of the girls that where kinda in background moved more into the spotlight with their own storys. As for the anime...To me I think its strong point so far is that it doesnt follow the manga too closely. I still havent finished my DVDs of the first season but so far im finding myself comparing it to the manga because they followed its story closely most of the time, which I guess wouldnt be so bad if I didnt find it so lacking when stacked against the manga. |

I gave the ep an 8.... it would have probably been a 7 except for the "3 rare card" event and lots of Setsuna action. The episode (okay, this sounds odd) was very disjointed .... even for a Shinbou work. Usually even the random stuff (ala PPD/negima) fits in but this seemed to be out of whack a bit.
Fundamentally, I thought the faerie villian was just a bit lame --- probably would have been better if it were more vaporous or insubstantial, leaving some question about the antagonist (though the creature is obviously a pawn of the "boss villian") Yue is getting a bit more screen time .... nice. Nodoka's "rare" instantiation is absolutely great with her cloud of books ... she should become Google's mascot And I'll bet the DVD incarnation of Setsuna with she spreads her wings is going to be pretty stunning. The encode of this episode seemed a bit "scratchy" for lack of a better way to put it.

Also, it looks like Yue may be beginning to become suspicious of the world of magic.

Finally, while I'm sure that Nodoka's "armor" form may cause some complaints to some manga readers, I personally like the idea that along with reading other people's minds, the floating books allow Nodoka to look up information about, among other things, various magic-related subjects. After all, given her love of books, her duty as a school librarian, and the fact that she's the fourth smartest girl academically in Negi's class, I kinda see Nodoka as the type of person who could be quite informative when it comes to various subjects.
