As mentioned in my post
above, the story centers on Nodoka and Negi, where the two are tied together by the red string of fate, and cannot be separated from each other due to Yue's magic.
Ayaka invites the entire class to try out the brand new Yukihiro Spa Resort before the grand opening. While the girls are having fun bathing, Haruna realizes this is the opportunity of a lifetime for Nodoka, and persists on sticking the two together.
Meanwhile, Asuna wants Negi to be washed and clean since he's at a bath, but the washing robot created by Hakase sets Asuna as the target, and she's the victim of its harrassment throughout the episode.
The only way for Nodoka and Negi to break free is for Yue to channel her true feelings in a spell, which she is successful at, albeit reluctantly.
Basically, the Summer OVA is more of a fanservice episode in terms of plotline. The fanservice is pretty rampant, with loads of eyecatches (
ala Tsuyokiss). This is a Nodoka episode, complete with an ending song by Noto Mamiko, although it can be said at the expense of Yue.
Asuna fans are probably going to be appalled, as she is being virtually tentacle raped for most of the scenes.
As with the Spring OVA, the Summer OVA is more like an introduction of the new Negima look by Gansis/Shaft. I personally have no problems with the character designs, probably because I have to compare it to the first anime season, although the upcoming
Negima!? anime series will likely take different routes, despite being created by the same production team.
The anime series will launch prior to the release dates of both OVAs (Oct. 25 and Nov.22 respectively), so most people will see it in a different perspective from me, so I'm eagerly waiting to see how the TV series will go along.
The event was hosted by Satou Rina (Negi), and Kanda Akemi (Asuna), Nonaka Ai (Konoka), Kobayashi Yuu (Setsuna), and Shiraishi Ryouko (Kaede) made an appearance.
