I'll put it in quotes so people can see wtf... why would they do that? Maybe because they're hating Akamatsu so much? Lol but it's true that there's a lot of anime adaptation of Akamatsu's works are always either being having filler story or change the story completely. Anime adaptation of Negima and Love Hina was the perfect example of this. |
| What a great start! Yukihime is already my fave in this anime in just one episode. Lmao. So, I was so worried when she looks like she's dying and celebrated when I saw her whole and alive. Lmao. I'm honestly in love with the animation. And that was a great action scene. Yukihime is a 700 year old vampire who saved the MC guy from death because his parents asked to save his life, so she made him a vampire, became his foster parent, and I really loved his line that he's happy to be immortal as long as he get to spend it with Yukihime. I really find the ED so cute. 9/10 for now. :') Please don't be a trainwreck, show. P.S. That sneezing scene, though. Hahaha. That was very funny. Jesus. |

| Evangeline has changed drastically in comparison to the original series. I didn't expect such a bloody beginning. |
 |
| Negi's sneeze caused flowers to bloom XD. I don't watch nor read Negima, but seems still fine. Fanservice in first part already made me think... Is the prequel also the same? The bloods and limbs aren't censored, but at least its not disgusting. I thought Touta's hands would grow like Spongebob way XD Nice one, in quality too, but since its still first ep, jury is still out. |
| Life isn't as fun and easy as anime. Watch anime to bring that fun!! |
| Oi, watched this yesterday, good stuff. They changing the order of events a tad by slapping the Negima bits at the beginning, but that's okay, it confirms that Negima is necessary. Starting from manga start is good news, it means it's possible to have a full adaptation. |

| Oi, watched this yesterday... Interesting mix up of events, putting the Negima events at the beginning, though it's good for confirming to people how it's definitely a Negima sequel. I'm glad this is going from manga start, it means we have potential for a proper adaptation. One can only hope this anime does really well and can promote a proper Negima reboot. |

I had already forgotten i had started reading the Manga once. Dropped. You can't serve me dogshit as an appetizer and expect me to stay for the main course. Good riddance. It's a good thing to discuss next episodes without puritans whining. I'll have to tolerate source purists as it is. (not that I don't understand them - Negima and Love Hina were adapted horribly). Whoahoho said: So can this be a spin-off of the parent anime? While UQ Holder manga is a spin-off of Mahou Sensei Negima manga, I don't think it's right to call UQ Holder anime meliodaz said: do i have to know about the other series to enjoy this one? Not really. At least as far as I have read the manga, it's not really important. Some things that might be relevant to the understanding of UQ holder so far: 1) Negi Springfield was the harem protagonist of Mahou Sensei Negima. The scene at the beginning of the anime was a typical day in his life. Now that he is dead and buried, and this MC is his grandson, we are left speculating how did his love life go. We do know he kicked a lot of ass and saved a lot of lives, though. The hallucination that Touta keeps seeing seems to be that same Negi Springfield. 2) Evangeline A.K. McDowell is indeed a long-lived vampire. She is so infamous, wizard parents would scare their children with her name. She is not as bad as she seems, though. Also, she's actually a loli, and that adult form is an illusion. 3) Magic used to be a secret in Mahou Sensei Negima times, with magic community struggling to maintain masquerade in the face of comedic stupidity and internet. It is not a secret anymore, so look forward to seeing the changes that brought to the world. vicexxv said: LOL that sneeze of Negi in the beginning rip offs clothes and underwear of the girls but Asuna's underwear didn't got ripped off Asuna has anti-magic properties. Negi's sneezes are magical. G_Spark233 said: Evangeline has changed drastically in comparison to the original series. Well, 80 years has passed. Even for a 700-year-old vampire, that's a lot. Her new life is nothing like her old life too. CrallyLystia said: Negi's sneeze caused flowers to bloom XD. I don't watch nor read Negima, but seems still fine. Fanservice in first part already made me think... Is the prequel also the same? Prequel manga, Mahou Sensei Negima, was pretty much like that when it comes to fanservice, but its violence is a lot milder. Meaning that an attack was more likely to leave somebody naked than leave even a scratch on the skin. Only in really deadly battles was even a drop of blood spilt. Its anime adaptation really toned down the fanservice, leaving the anime quite bland, that's why a lot of people are unhappy. It also adapted out one of my favorite characters (Kotarou Inugami, who looked pretty much like Touta, except with dog ears and tail), and improvised its own ending that did not mesh with the tone and lore of the manga. Masood_sama_XN said: What the, nudity censored, but violence is okay and not censored? I thought violence was worse than nudity. The world is really random when it comes to violence and nudity. For example, in Europe, violence is worse than nudity, but in USA, nudity is worse than violence. USA must be a hellhole much like Roanapur from Black Lagoon, so they don't care about violence. |

Man, get your superior priorities wright! Don't bore me with your wannabe-wisdom. An elitist can argue with whoever he wants. But i guess it's more fitting to call it "educating" than "discussing" since elistist and pleb are not on the same intellectual level. Let me educate you for example: "Waste" like "wasting time" is written like this. Your "waist" is essentially your hip. |

I have no idea what the hell are "House of Cards" and "Jersey Store". Must be awful american live-action stuff. Wikipedia tells me there are a whole lot of these houses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Cards The most likely version you're mentioning, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Cards_(U.S._TV_series) , is still a show I would not want to watch no matter how well-written it is, because it's about evil politicians being themselves. No idea what kind of show Jersey Shore is, and Wikipedia doesn't really explain. Either way, both shows failed before they even started. They should have made a proper anime adaptation of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou instead. Indeed, there is objective element to things like storytelling and character writing. But ecchi haters always let their hatred cover their vision and prevent them from seeing it. Aeonenleben said: Yes, i like .hack//sign.

Aeonenleben said: Your argument, if you could even call it one, is messy and makes no sense. I am not sure which part of my personal attacks you call an argument. There are no arguments needed. UQ Holder is exactly the kind of ecchi battle shounen it seems to be, just somewhat edgier and heavier on social problems than Mahou Sensei Negima. Preference for entertainment value over "quality" of writing (achieved at the expense of entertainment value) is very much "taste". Personally, I do not expect most anime writers to be capable of writing something of writing quality that will satisfy me. Even if their life depended on it. Thus, I would much rather bet on entertainment, and have writing quality as a nice bonus, rather than bet on writing quality and be disappointed. And most importantly, high average score is a sign that a person is good at choosing what he/she wants, and not having much time to watch shows that are obviously unfitting. |
| It's been a long time since I wanted to see an anime series from Ken Akamatsu's work, that's enough for me. However, the salient features of his works were all shown, and the narration had a logical thread. For now it was the series that most convinced me of the first three I've seen this fall season 2017. |
 |
| Hhhrrmm... putting aside Tota's voice not fitting, I'm a little disappointed... it seemed a little rushed, and the flashback at the beginning and ghost Negi seemed unnecessary for this part of the story based on what I've read of the manga (admittedly, I have had it on-hold for awhile, so I'm definitely behind...). Though, if what some people in this thread were saying about skipping like 80 chapters is true, then who knows how this will go. It certainly would explain why the OP and ED have characters I don't recognize and are missing other characters I would recognize... Guess we'll see. |

The writers (be it anime or light novel) are certainly able to write decent stories. At least some of them. But they wont. Because there are enough people that want their junkfood.

| @flannan @TitanAnteus Just leave him be. He's just going to keep attacking anything and everything you say (and he'll probably go after me now) and dragging this thread further into this childish bickering for as long as anyone will pay attention to him. He proudly claims on his profile that he's been banned for trolling 3 times already, and as they say (since he seems to like quotes): "don't feed the trolls." By continuing to argue with him you're only giving him exactly what he wants; ignore him and he's powerless. Choose your battles, this one's not worth it, there is no winning except to not participate. |

| kinda only have basic knowledge on Negima so hearing them plan to skip all those chapters is worrisome hopefully they give us anime only watchers some decent lead way before the jump lol. i thought it was okay nothing too crazy besides that fight scene J.C made that way more brutal than i expected granted all the tension was gone afterwards since i remembered Eva is immortal and so is the MC now i must be getting old that was kinda nuts to see for what seemed like a ecchi/battle series |
 |
| Better than i expected. Yukihime is really beautiful but her voice doesn't quite fit. No censor during the bloody fight which is really enjoyable. I totally forgot the little maid in the opening when i remember the pigtail blonde ^^'. |

Of course.... 2. I can see why softporn appeals to a certain kind of people. Without any sort of character writing or storytelling it is still a shit-tier anime though. 3. I actually read the UQ holder manga for like 30 chapters. I just forgot about it because it was so bland. Even for a shonen the characters are written poorly and the story is pathetically predictable. The manga has less pathetic in-your-face fanservice though. flannan said: We don't have anything to discuss. Quality does not matter as much as suitability does. I know it from experience. Especially from experiencing very suitable anime. Ahahahaha. You just make questionable statements and say there is absolutly nothing to discuss. If you say it it must be true then. I assume you are not used to the very idea of discussing different ideas. Your social circle is either very small or you must live is some sort of circle-jerk. flannan said: There must be something badly wrong with you if you think one can't fit social criticism into battle shounen. But in this case I simply meant that... That has nothing to do with a social judgement or social issues. It is simply the very basic of writing a hero. It's so stereotypical that "hero's tale" is an actual description for this sort of writing. What is the social critizism? That mafia thugs attack orphanages? It's just a very basic tool to show that the hero is the good guy and absolutly nothing more. flannan said: I do not read Justin Bieber fanfiction by 12 year old girls, because it caters to the tastes of 12 year old girls.

Cost in not enough time spent on panties, explosions and sticking it to the man. Ecchi is written for the sexually frustrated, undereducated otakus with no social life. There are actually several interviews with anime producers about this since japanese lawmakers believe that this reinforces the otaku problem in japanese society that they want to change so desperatly. If you like Ecchi because it caters to you that means... well... you know... Yeah. Decent writing and actually storytelling is for elitists.... For you even GoT is probably elitist since there are multiple storylines interwoven between all those tits. flannan said: The anime industry produces fun. Because real world doesn't have enough fun.

MistLiigh said: (and he'll probably go after me now) Well, aren't you quite full of yourself. But i do you the favor. Have your (you) 6/10? I must have been in a very good mood that day. The anime is not actually good. I know it is regarded as a classic but not rightfully so. Akira is a classic that deserves it's status. Paprika is not. The screenwriting is messy, characterisation poor. I kinda believe it's high rating is partly because it's cool for Hipsters to have Paprika in their favs. Gives you some kind of Hipster streetcred i guess. |

| That opening brought me back to middle school. I swear I still have it on my ipod. THE NOSTALGIA |
| Did not expect a re-do of the Negima music, that hit like a truck right in the nostalgia. Really wishing Negima hadn't ended like it did right now. AND WHERE THE FUCK IS MY SANTA IN THE INTRO? Seeing Yukihime get jobbed by a random no-name assassin kinda bothers me. It's like watching Darth Vader getting stomped by some generic rebel with a blaster. |

He's just going to keep attacking anything and everything you say (and he'll probably go after me now) and dragging this thread further into this childish bickering for as long as anyone will pay attention to him. He proudly claims on his profile that he's been banned for trolling 3 times already, and as they say (since he seems to like quotes): "don't feed the trolls." By continuing to argue with him you're only giving him exactly what he wants; ignore him and he's powerless. Choose your battles, this one's not worth it, there is no winning except to not participate. I guess I'll do as you say. Despite his claims to the contrary, this guy is just dumb and antagonistic. |
| So far, very good adaptation, true to the source and gives off that UQ Holder feel. |
TitanAnteus said: Aeonenleben said: What a pathetic virgin-bait Negi Magi intro. Characters disgustingly bland as expected. I had already forgotten i had started reading the Manga once. Dropped. You can't serve me dogshit as an appetizer and expect me to stay for the main course. shit taste confirmed. Guess you got filtered out like the creators wanted in the first 4 mins. Don't blame them, maybe they didn't read the manga and only watch that horrible adaptation of Negima anime so that's why they will calling this is awful. pillsburyXV said: MahiaErebeaNegi said: Maybe because they're hating Akamatsu so much? Lol but it's true that there's a lot of anime adaptation of Akamatsu's works are always either being having filler story or change the story completely. Anime adaptation of Negima and Love Hina was the perfect example of this. I didn't know Love Hina also suffered from this as I never read/watched it. Still I figured Negima! was due for a good anime adaptation. Wasn't it bad enough for fans having to sit thru the torturous Anime Final... Oh well we'll always have the manga. To be fair, comparing to Negima at least Love Hina was ended up with the filler story (In both season) and didn't adapted the last couple of the chapters, unlike Negima where the story was completely destroyed by the anime staff team with the horrible story telling, plot changes and a fillers. |
| Didn't have any expectations on this but I'm pleased to say I actually liked it a lot. I have sadly never read Negima before but that most definitely didn't keep me from actually enjoying this. Yukihime is such a nice character, I definitely want to know more about her background story. What I didn't expect at all was the brutality on fight scenes. Pretty jaw-dropping. I was quite dumbfounded when Yukihime was cut in pieces, damn. |
| Was expecting stupid fanservice with maybe a little bit of action like the original, but this is pretty much a straight up shounen show now. The violence was way too brutal for my taste. If they keep showing dismemberment like that, I may just as well drop it now. |

berserker75 said: and that negi ghost is what bothers me the most I think that the producers is trying to summarize or give hints about the prequel cause a lot of people didnt watch the negima I think they added in ghost Negi to give Touta a more concrete reason to want to go to the top of the tower. The manga spent way too long having him either have no goals or no good reasons for the goals he did try for. |
