i dont know why but i didnt get what you meant there pal..
and speaking of Ken Akamatsu...i can understand the beef everyone has with his style, but i really like his works...the light heartedness / slapstick comedy is a nice change from when reading the other manga's out there.
another eason why i like his work is because Love Hina is one of the first Manga series i ever purchased........nostalgia
Negima! the Manga (And the Anime to an extent) are 'interesting' certainly. The Manga for one is the only Manga series I have really collected. True it has far, far, far, far, far (and a few more fars for good measure) too much fanservice, which comes close to completely decapitating the series for me, but in turn it is simply fun, and the characters are very likable for the most part. But most of all, there is a story there. It takes ages to develop yes, but in a massive Manga you can do that, and it just about carries it. Yes I was on the point of vomiting early on at the crazy fanservice, but (thankfully!) it has been markedly reduced in more recent volumes which is to its benefit. So it is basically a harem anime + and actual story, which gets it above the 'throw up' level to 'pretty good in all with horrible moments' level
I have only seem scattered episodes of the (first) Anime, and generally it is quite good. Negi's voice actor is alright, though when put into Anime form it struggles to compete with the mountain of post Azumanga 'school' anime. Still it is pretty fun and does cut the fanservice right down from the start to more managable levels.
So I had to vote 'yes' but with reservations.
(EDIT: And for the record, Love Hina, lacking any story, is just utterly vile through and through. Story counts, fanservice doesn't)

lol, its cool.
I really and passionately dislike the anime - the manga has numerous good points among the fanservice, primarily a good plot (if slow at times) and some well developed characters. Yue Ayase and Nodoka Miyazawa in book 15 in particular tied me to my chair.
In comparison the anime was, to me, lurid trash. It seemed to lose all the good points - humour, characterisation and plot. Something similar seemed to happen with Love Hina, although the manga didn't have much of a plot in the first place.....
Oh, and off subject, but iI do wonder if Akamatsu is planning some kind of pairing (presumably when Negi is old enough). Given his track record Asuna would seem to be the likely candidate, since she's a bit like Naru only with some semblance of a rounded personality.
