You obviously haven't read your own post then have you. Your post implied SPECIFICALLY a broad view of people who weren't satisfied with the setup of the new Negima series. Let me re-quote what you wrote and let you look at it again.

If you didn't mean all of us who have a somewhat negative look at the first episode, then specify so. I have absolutely nothing in common with the type of thinking you were specifying, and have not even started reading the manga yet(though I've got most of it on my computer). And I haven't been saying,"OMG THIS SHOW IS THE SUXORS HACK SHAFT#%@%@%". I gave you examples of where I thought the first episode didn't do anything to live up to the hype given to the series(partially thanks to the OVA perhaps?). The animation I can deal with. The lack of mirroring the Manga's stories and continuity I can deal with. I've seen far worse and enjoyed them. My main complaint involved the pacing of the entire episode(especially the last half). And I'm not coming to this as a new viewer to the Negima world. I watched all of the first series(Enjoyed it for what it was but agreed with many complaints given about it). I know who most of the characters are, but the rate in which they introduced them the first episode was crap. I only hope they slow down the pace and flesh out the characters in a more drawn out and meaningful way. As it is now, the introductions were very close to absolutely meaningless(and a waste of time).
