Impressions:

Another awesome, hilarious, cute and completely random episode! So if you weren’t disturbed by the disgustingly funny close-ups of Negima, Nodoka, the dog and the cat, as well as the medium shot of Asuna, you should’ve had a wonderful time appreciating the hilarity of this episode. Actually no, the random close-ups definitely add to the humour, and it’s wonderful seeing Negima!? pulling out new tricks from its sleeve each time. The twins are super cute, especially when they’re ‘converging’ on Negima to get his kiss, and that would’ve made any lolicon his day. Apparently the twins aren’t meant to become Negima’s partners, though anyone who hasn’t seen Mahou Sensei Negima or read the manga would think immediately that they would get their pactio from the title, which was something like ‘turn us into adults’. Bah, can’t remember lol. Though really, anyone would fanboy over this. God I love this show…*sighs* Oh yeah in other, unrelated news, HAYATE THE COMBAT BUTLER is getting an ANIME! OMG that’s awesome! Expect a real post up tomorrow!

Aside from the otherwise standalone episode, there was a bit of plot movement involving Negima and someone who seems to be his father at first, but turns out to be a woman(?) called the Black Rose Baron…or something like that. Hmm, black rose…nice symbolism! I guess they represent death or some melodramatic aspect of life like that. But of course, getting two more partners is considered plot development, no? Probably everyone in the class is going to become a partner. Though ‘partner’ is a really bad term now, since there are obviously more than two people involved. Oh well, the more the merrier! Now we just need to wait to see what powers the twins have. It’ll probably be something that they have to perform together though, since that’s what the purpose of twins usually is. Anyways, half the time I don’t know what the hell is happening, such as 8 minutes into this episode when I was furiously taking screenshots and uploading some of the freaky random close-ups for the guys on IRC to check out, I had no idea what Negima or anyone else was doing. The library IS in the school right?
