If you read the later manga volumes you would all realise that Negima has a very good story and the latest chapters of the manga looks like it came from a shonen genre like DBZ, naruto, Bleach or even Soul Eater. Basically the fanservice is secondary similer to errr... code geass you can say.
It kinda reminds me of Tenchi OVA sometimes (Harem, spinoffs, action, layed back sometimes).

atleast someone understands what the series is about :thumb:

But the thing is....why should it take that long for it to develope into something worth spending time on?
I know i sound like im ripping into Negima abit and im sorry, but after 4 hours of it and finding out It doesn't get much better, i felt that after that amount of time it should come with a serious health warning sticker "warning....boring". If it is better as a manga then i'll check it out, but the anime was a tremendous let down and such a bore to watch, i might sound like i expect too much of it, but like you were comparing it to bleach and ect, bleach looks great from the beginning and doesn't take long for a brilliant storyline to develope. :/
 
Ikki Tousen isnt better than Negima though :)

I agree with what they've said though. The manga doesnt hang around before it starts to pick up the pace and although i'm not right up to date, the most recent volumes i read, 16 i think, its really starting to evolve beyond just a funny, exciting harem.

*Crosshair appears on Maltos' head through a sniper scope.* Gotcha...

But the recent manga (vol. 18, after the Mahora Festival saga) has become much funier than the seriousness of the earlier ones. I missed these moments the most.

Touch it, bring it, Pay it, watch it,
Turn it, leave it, start - format it...

Back on topic though~
I'm looking forward to see how its starting to unfold. My friend that i introduced to Mr. Akamatsu's work has read all the recent chapters.
She seems to be enjoying it just as much as before. If not more.
 
I really like Negima well the manga anyways! the series was a pretty crap adaption!
I think the manga is more grown up in a way especially newest volumes but its still pretty fun to read :D
Only problem is the pages are crammed full of writing!

but compaired to Ikki Tousen, Negima doesn't make you feel like a closet pervert either
It's being a while since I've seen Ikkitousen, but Najica Blitz tactics level of fan service really got me unconfortable... Will try my hand again at ikkitousen and tell you what I think. BTW, OT - Negima manga is great! Negima anime , err...

'Will try my hand' eh? *nudge nudge, wink wink* :twisted: :wink:

Najica got to the point where the fanservice was so over the top I just couldn't take it seriously at all. It's almost a parody of the fanservice genre and about as sexually potent as a Carry On Film imo... Battle Vixens was both awful and funny at the same time. Was pretty perverted too but yeah it was ok I guess.

Have seen about half of Negima so far and thankfully I find it mindlessly light-hearted and a bit of fun. If it went any futher into the fanservice area and I'd think it were a bit dodgy and not lie it so much as it stands it's quite cool.

That's how I felt about it. Every single scene in Najica had some sort of fan service. It's amazing how they managed to get so much into a 12 eps series...
 
Negima, like all of Ken Akamatsu's work, is unbelievably awful. The same joke of "how dare you look at me naked even though I stepped out of the shower with no clothes on!" 'joke' isn't even funny the first time, and is especially unfunny in every single other work by him. Absolute garbage, I'm afraid ;]

Hey everyone know that if that happens it would be your fault!!! Anyway, I love Ken's work specially because of the light heartedness is it. I also like the lack of pretentiousness an common sense in his stories.
