Negima!? Episode 9

Rating: 8.6/10

Impressions:

Firstly in other news, I have decided to read the Negima! manga and am currently up to volume 5. I will definitely have caught up to the latest chapter by the next episode. Now I just wish there was a proper anime adaptation that follows the manga like a typical action shounen, or at least a proper series that doesn’t stray from the original storyline. Negima!? is an exception though, since it obviously isn’t following the original storyline. Still though, it is amazingly fun to watch. I am still in love with Konoka, and reading the manga has made it even stronger. The only downside to Negima!? is that there is like no character development at all. That’s ok though, as this remake never had that intention in the first place, and is doing a whole bunch of other random stuff to make up for it. For example, the random shots of Ayaka’s hot body, or Evangeline and Chachamaru having tea with the two animal guys. Or that dormitory exploding, which looked very much like a real life model. Not as funny as some of the other episodes, but I still got a few good laughs from it.

Hmm, Kaede’s Negi’s partner now…Too bad we didn’t get to see her powers, or the twins’ powers either. Actually, what I want to see more is Negi’s partners all getting the suka cards at the same time. That would be a nice skit. But anyway, the plot is advancing, even though only progressing very little. The Black Rose Baron appears again, and his/her gender is still quite unclear…to me, that is. And I wonder; is the dream Negi has about receiving the staff accurate? Or perhaps it’s twisted to show the Baron instead of the Thousand Master? I also like the idea of Negi’s partners actually learning magic. If it’s in the manga I wouldn’t know since I haven’t read very far, but it would be pretty cool if all the girls suddenly started summoning dragons of spitfire or something. Negi sure has it easy though, being able to get partners so easily like that. What the hell are that cat and frog doing anyway? Having tea with Eva when they’re meant to be watching Negi! Oh well, it’s all for the fun and pleasure of the viewers! xD

    well the anime you watched is different to this anime as well as the manga

    the anime u have seen is called ‘Mahou Sensei Negima!’ or just ‘Negima!’

    However, this anime is called ‘Negima!?’, with an extra question mark.
