Well I just watched the first 10 episodes of Negima dubbed and so far its pretty dang good. I now want to see NodokaXNegi happen. And that says a lot because the only other anime couple I'v ever wanted to see happen is Naruto and Hinata. Please don't give me spoilers but could you tell me if there's hope for that and/or its looking likely in the manga? Yes it does sound like a dumb question but I just have to know.

Just read the manga and see for yourself why would you want to know stuff like that?
Your right I should. I just really felt like asking because its just got me so pumped I had to know while still not getting spoilers. But yeah i'll DEFIANTLY keep reading but of coarse not just for that reason. I want to see how good this manga becomes and it already has got me really interested and is actually pretty dang original. Something I haven't seen in a while.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from that garbage
Both of the Negima anime series made up so much stuff it's ridiculous, you'll find yourself horribly confused if you try to start with that and then jump into the manga.
Also, the only reason what you're asking is a dumb question is because you're okay with not finding out for yourself…

Its good that your pumped, and that is the reason I'm not going to tell you anything, if you are that pumped it should make your reading more enjoyable.
I just saw what Hata from AQS translated yesterday. Ken talked a bit more about the Anime Final Negima movie coming up.
@Hata:
AFTER saving the MW, Negi and all returns to Mahora, and see the banner "Mahora Junior High Graduation Ceremony", just with everyone in a hurry for preparation, Konoemon summons Negi to his room…
-- the secret of pactio is revealed.
-- the biggest crisis of Negi and friends, and ALL of the students were involved.
-- this is the original plan Ken had for Negima ending.
Thanks. I'm going to get a bunch of Negima volumes for Chrismas this year because I want to support the manga industry as well. Can't wait!
I just saw what Hata from AQS translated yesterday. Ken talked a bit more about the Anime Final Negima movie coming up.
Wow,wow,wow. So does that mean…
that what happens in the movie is not necessarily what's gonna happen in the manga?
a final arc with ALL the students is pretty much confirmed?
Ken has changed his ending?
Exciting stuff.
When are we getting our next chapter? Is the series going to skip a few weeks before we get our next chapter? If that's the case then I honestly don't mind since I know Akamatsu will really deliver on the action front if he's given more time. Can't wait, seriously.
Don't worry. It's only one of his monthly week breaks that he always does conveniently on a killer cliff-hanger. We'll have a chapter next week.
@Thousand:

Good, good, I'm sure he'll be able to deliver, he almost always does.
I caught up with this manga pretty quickly. And I have to say that I loved it. Every character is well played and it has a really good role on the story. I really loved some moments like The Pactio Scenes or when Negi was possesed by Erebea Magic (which was one of the most epic moments in that manga) My favourite character is Nodoka (I love her)
And for the last chapter, it was epic. Evangeline appearing was the most brutal thing that ever happened. And not just Evangeline, members of Ala Rubra appeared too which was amazing. Also Lifemaker reviving every existing Fate along with Dynamys was brilliant. Couldn't believe my own eyes. Shame that it's on a break, but luckily next week will be a masterpiece of chapter!
More Negima fans are always welcome. The series is extremely satisfying to read if you can look past its initial flaws.
Yeah those initial flaws sure push a lot of people away. Hey its better now anyway, the first time I started posting here I only remember Robby and Lion being the only people who posted here on a weekly basis.
We have more people who post on this thread now so yay to that.

It probably will still end with a graduation, just not in the same way, I think. But this has made me very interested. It's nice to know that Ken wants to go out with a bang since this will be the last animated Negima adaptation. I really hope this movie and all the OADs can get licensed this year…
I actually remember seeing some huge debate between TLS and Jerk a while ago and i thought what TLS was defending with passion like that mustve been a pretty good manga.
So here i am i guess.
Read the first chapters quickly and get to the good part is my advice.
because i clicked with the humor, i enjoyed pretty much everything. XD
Me too, I was kinda surprised to hear there were people that disliked it that much…I'm loving the current chapters too, even though I don't post here often.
The last 2 chapters have been glorious. Predictable but glorious.
This whole arc has been glorious so far. I'm really glad I went through the bitter peel to get to the juicy stuff.
THe new chapter is out. I really enjoyed it

*scurries off to read
Ayaka always makes me laugh heh.
Good to see Eva and Rakan are still completely broken.
Good chapter, although the stuff about the movie ending in graduation makes me slightly scared that we are nearing the end D: it is probably a good place to stop but I need my weekly Negima fix!
Next chapter all students will combine into a giant robot.
aww Chisame was so Heartfelt in that speech
Eva is Awesome
How?!? How could SO much happen in one chapter yet not feel rushed at all!?! It just felt so natural. It was only 16 pages but it felt like 50!!
! This is really where I think Akamatsu shines. The execution. With all the little hints here and there, all climaxing into an epic conclusion. I'd have liked to see a bit more of the fight of the uber badasses but that's just nit-picking. This is simply fantastic. A smorgasbord of hilarious character interactions. Hell, I'm gonna make a list of everything that tickled me pink right now:
Rakan being Rakan.
Chisame taking charge and Chamo poking fun at her.
Misora playing the straight man pointing out obvious facts.
Setsuna blushing that she's a best friend.
Zazie who is now officially hilarious.
Ayaka going crazy for Negi.
Chisame telling Ayaka he's fine then going " Erm, maybe not" LOL
! List to be amended on further readings.
! not to mention all the badass stuff like Rakan…being Rakan, Evangeline soloing three Fates like they were nothing, Principal kicking some ass himself, Dynamis summoning the giant legendary Dragon.
! Just great chapter mostly because of all the small things. It was a set-up chapter but by golly was it the best set up chapter ever (in the series at least)!!!
! Edit: Oh yeah, how could I forget!?! Maybe because it happened so goddamn naturally but...
! THE ROSTER IS COMPLETE!!! All students are now officially tied in with the world of magic. It's only a matter of time now before Ayaka and the group get their development!!! It's not official official until then but it's really only a matter of time now (Unless the series ends which it shouldn't).
Ayaka always makes me laugh heh.
Good to see Eva and Rakan are still completely broken.
Good chapter, although the stuff about the movie ending in graduation makes me slightly scared that we are nearing the end D: it is probably a good place to stop but I need my weekly Negima fix!
The movie if I recollect correctly is gonna use Akamatsu's original ending however of course his manga ending changed since he can't use the movie ending. We should be having one more arc. All the hints points towards it. It'll probably involve time-travelling too.
Next chapter all students will combine into a giant robot.
Giant robot emperor, eat your heart out.
I actually can't wait to see all the normal character reactions to what is happening, and Chisame trying to explain everything in a few words and going crazy, I hope Akamatsu shows that.
I wonder if Akamatsu will do a Negi-Fate team-up battle now or save it for later.

Those tiny Easter eggs are the best:) It's not even the spice, it's more like the delicious sauce of this series.

If he's gonna do it, he has to do it now since Fate is obviously gonna die this arc.
"To Nodoka"
Fate: Sorry, I can't go drink coffee with you.
Me: :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
I mean geez, could it be anymore obvious?
Large tanned man punches Secundum. Good chapter.
@RobbyBevard:
Well if you've been reading it for a year you're probably fine to go back to the start at this point.
And I will do so. Eventually, I guess, as soon as my reading list has become not as full, at least.
And so is the chapter :) click me
Like last chapter, these old guys (and the loli grandma) keeps being awesome, tho Eva is just way cool in this one (pun intended)
Excellent chapter.
I hope all those guys manage to escape from that spell in the end.
Evangeline is so AMAZING>
But, Rakan. Please. Loli grandma? I…don't need that image in my brain...
And FFFFFFFF another break Akamatsu already!?! You just had one two weeks ago. And a three week one at that? (Though I suppose you can blame Obon festival for that).
ROFL, Loli Grandma.
Negima magic>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Fairy Tail magic.
Reading Negima has spoiled me with all the great techniques and spells, almost every other series that uses magic now feels so underwhelming to me.
almost everytime a cool technique is shown, i'm like "fuck yeah, that's how it's done."
Man that final page killed me, it could at least have one more page this week.
For some reason, I keep on seeing him unhood himself and Nagi's face will be there for some reason… I dunno why...
Man, the life-maker is seriously over-powered to make two supremely broken characters like Rakan and Evangeline get nervous paralysis spell or no. Then he casually deflects a simultaneous attack from five of the supreme badasses? Geez, he certainly lives up to his name. Of all times for a three week break>.>
Oh well, at least we'll be welcomed with Asuna's return.

Yep, this series has great mechanics for the magic. It's nothing cheap or gimmicky (like the ability to make theme parks coming to life,ugh) but heavily grounded in energy and elemental mysticism. Sure you get a hodgepodge of different effects from artifacts but at least it fits the character personality and the imagery of the item and it's all executed so tastefully well. Plus most of the techniques look freakin' awesome. Ice vines encapsulating their prey in ice? And then the collection of ice ended up looking like a real white rose? Great imagery right there.
Shame that the bad guys got taken out kinda quickly and easily but it was a pretty much one time technique Eva specifically designed for them. Plus it further confirms my beliefs that this battle is just a preview of the future antics of these baddies.
I'm a little disappointed Konoemon got taken out so quickly (though I don't think he's out for good, I hope) but aside from that this chapter was damn good as usual. I DO worry that the Life-Maker (or whatever they call him) is a bit overpowered (we don't need another Aizen do we?) but we'll worry about that some other time. Still bummed Akamatsu's taking another break, but again I don't really blame him, he puts out great work.
Eva just made me Damn more in love with her
must hold back Lolicon urges
So I just caught up with the manga and I just have a feeling of wanting more!
Also, I just have to say that Chahamaru's getting magic into her is seriously disturbing.
i thought it was hilarious, if we're thinking of the same thing. XD
Uhh. No, Chacha isn't going to be imbued with magic (unless if u count her artifact as one, even though its still tech-based).
I don't have problems with hax-overpowered characters actually, as long as its done well (in characterization and his/her defeat). See Dr. Manhattan for reference. The Life-maker is done well enough so far, after all he/she is the one who created the entire magic world…in Mars to boot. So its only natural for him/her to kick all other character's ass. It will depend whether his/her defeat is satisfactory, and not some Final Getsuga Tenshou and a Pokeball.
@MDL:
i thought it was hilarious, if we're thinking of the same thing. XD
I'm positive we are. I did think it was funny… because of how wrong it was.
That was some badass kissing, Negi is a pimp.
Come on guys, that kiss was great. Let's get over the fact that Chachamaru is five years old. She had been in constant conflict with her robotic side and the newly found human emotions she was acquiring. Despite being a robot, Chachamaru had the feelings of a girl of her age and that girl was suffering with the fact that all she amounted to was nuts and bolts. It was a serious issue that went beyond an identity crisis. I applauded Negi for taking the bull by the horns on such a deep-rooted sensitive issue and the way he handled it was in my opinion very heart-warming and badass. To defy the very bounds of the magical world system and declaring with all his heart and soul that his dear student and good friend was a human and nothing else would say otherwise. The kiss was a necessary step to truly humanize Chachamaru and it's a scene that always has a special place in my heart because of how well written and emotionally moving it was.
The blatant sexual innuendo with the winding up that came before it was a bit iffy but meh, it got a chortle out of me.

That is what I was talking about originally. I think the kiss was great, however. To me it was more of a "I can't believe I'm actually reading what is going on right now." But then I remember that I was still reading Negi and that there is crazy amounts of fanservice everywhere and that scene isn't that over the top compared to other things.
TBH, I didn't really know why I was reading Negi because it just seemed to be all harem/spice of life etc. It is a good thing I read here to keep on reading because once I got to the Mahora Festival tournament i knew I definitely had made the right choice to keep reading.
