Yes, I can accept the whole "relaxing after the end of a major arc" thing, but at the same time, I felt that breather volumes were handled better in previous volumes than in volumes 37-38 (especially in terms of story flow). As for the current arc taking a while: Spoiler for 347:

IMO the breathers in previous arcs worked better because, while we know there will be grand adventure following the breathers, none of them were as important as SAVING AN ENTIRE WORLD. Yes, the Magic World arc turned out to be quite epic race against the clock to save the world, but back during the breathers we never knew it would be at such scale.
Here we know, we know that there are many important things to be done less an entire world perish. And yet all the girls could think off is forcing a boy to fess up on who he loves when he hasn't even hit puberty yet? I mean, I doubt deep inside he is capable of differentiating between Phileo, Storge and Eros yet . This is why a gal like Haruna is great to have in a party, but not on serious meetings

1. A fluid pacing from event to the next (whereas this breather period was skipping around at the beginning); 2. There's actual development in terms of "growth" in Negi's group, where here it feels as if this growth is being avoided (save for those involved in Negi's plan).

So do we learn more about how the magic-sealing bullet affects Negi? It wouldn't make sense if he loses all his strength because of it, since his physical body should now be considerably more powerful than it was when he was human.
I would have preferred that all characters who don't have a history of combat training, or real combat, remained as support in combat situations, rather than actual fighters. Artifacts that suddenly enable a character who has had no combat experience or training to fight evenly with those that have doesn't make good reading for me, and that seems to be the general consensus amongst MSN fans. Combat support characters like Yue (now a fighter, with training and experience), Nodoka, Asakura, Konoka etc, make for reasonable and interesting reading in my opinion, whereas characters like Yuuna just strikes me as cheap and unreasonable in a combat situation. |
