| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Mm, a follow up episode from events of the previous one. Looks like Touta meets a ghost girl this episode Touta's fight in the arena against his opponent at the Martial Arts Tournament was strange. It felt like Touta couldn't control the pace of his fight or his powers to full extent. Either that or his opponent was just better. Looks like more of Negi's comrades showed up :o |

| As anime only this is the first time I have no idea what the hell is going on. It even felt super rushed :/ |
| wow, this is the first time im gonna say an anime felt rushed and i don't even read manga O__O |
   |
| I don't think I've ever seen an adaption this badly rushed in my entire life. |
| They don't rushed, they jumped chapter 43 to 128 ( i am not wrong) holy fuck, welp still better than the anime of negima. The funny fact is that they excluded the character that would appear in the next arc of the story, and because of that they also eliminated Albireo Imma who would fight him in this battle (a good character, by the way, a pity) to stay fair. |

| Shortest tournament arc ever. |
 |
| Badly rushed episode but that ending still has me hyped |
 |
| Haven't read the manga. But I'm glad we're jumping to the plot as soon as possible. I have some miniscule hope that there's battles on the scale of the arcs of Negima that were never animated. (disappointment ensues) |
| Even as a manga reader, the manga side is ACTUALLY well-thought through. The anime side however, being pretty linear UNTIL this episode feels very rushed, and I've gotta agree that the ending will somehow be botched because of the 1 cour adaptation and not the usual 2 cour that is standard with Negima. Feels like you read a book's beginning and ending without the progression in the middle, and that's a shame. |
 |
| What a rushed and awful episode. I even have no idea to said how bad this episode (And the whole anime) is. 2/5 Where the fuck is Alberio? And the art and animation............ I will rather have this adaptation never exist instead of having this abomination. lucio54 said: welp still better than the anime of negima. Yeah this is a very sad fact, no matter how bad and rushed this anime is it's still way better and way more faithfully than every anime adaptation of Akamatsu's works (If we don't include the Negima OVAs). |
| Oh. I missed the part in the last episode where Evangeline told Touta that he's his grandfather's clone. That his so-called parents never existed. Who the hell is this Mage of the Beginning and why is Touta still calling her his grandfather even though she's just an imposter? Lmao. This episode made me want to watch its prequel. Ugh. I wanna know more about Negi Springfield. |

megaload said: @TheDoggoneGirl Who the hell is this Mage of the Beginning and why is Touta still calling her his grandfather The person we see here is actually Negi Springfield but he is possessed by the Mage of the Beginning. I think we will see her human and after that her true from in the upcoming battle. She is the big villain - here and on Negima. This episode made me want to watch its prequel. Only the manga is recommended. The TV series are horrible. (Xebec's - bad animation + bad adaption, Shaft's only uses the characters) The Movie is some form of alternative ending also really boring. You can watch Shaft's OVA's just for the taste of it - faithful but partial adaption. Wow! Thank you so much for answering my queries, and for the info. I really appreciate it. :) |

Well atleast i liked the adaptation of love hina. |
|
| Oh wow my expectation were rock bottom ever since the last few episodes and they had to get the drill just to go lower. |
 |
| Honestly? This is ridiculous! Whole 'plot' is just one fucking asspull! I don't care they are showing all the old Negi's classmates (even though they really feels as randoms here) but the fight between those two factions just reeks of bad writing. You want some good story and character developement? Certainly not in this series. |
| The tournament is just a set-u for Touta! And it is already instant chaos! 4/5. |
 |
Mich666 said: You want some good story and character developement? Certainly not in this Anime series. I recommend you guys to read the manga version of this series instead. Fixed, don't worry these awful story telling are only exist in the anime version of this series. |
| rushed i heard but I can't wait for next ep. Very interesting, MC is just a clone and nothing special I want to see more. |
 |
| Grrr wtf... It definitely seems that Negiverse is cursed to forever have anime adaptions that fuck with everything... This ordering of events is weird to say the least. Touta didn't give a damn about the tournament or getting stronger. He was just told that it's a shortcut up the tower for the poor. Touta's supposed to be an unknown. Why's Lazlo beat up and why is Mana with him? Where's my Negima chars silhouette hype like the manga!? The fact that they're immortal and all that shit is supposed to be undercover, immortals aren't permitted in the tournament iirc. The fight with Cutlass is supposed to happen out in the slum area. They utterly ruined this encounter, as it's supposed to happen during a big awesome race with a whole ton of time shit. The original altercation happened after SO MUCH character building and figuring out how to do things. This altercation with Negi and the rest in the manga is really shown how absurdly outmatched they all are. They can only barely manage to distract and delay for mere seconds on each char... Especially Rakan. Let me clarify, Rakan is a broken unbeatable character who can literally flex his way out of an impossible bind, he's on the level of Saitama (OPM). This whole change of events is bizarre and broken to say the least. I was tolerant of the changes up until now, but they broke some of the best parts of the manga. This has really triggered me. 1/5 Edit: Where's Santa, and his whole arc? It's fucking important shit relating to the nature of Ialda. |

genesic123 said: Negima and UQ were never good in the first place.Maybe the fandom can't admit that. I assume you never read the manga before, yeah the manga have it's flaws but it's still WAY better than every Negima and UQH anime combined, at least the manga have a lot of good and best moments unlike the anime. GenesisAria said: Edit: Where's Santa, and his whole arc? It's fucking important shit relating to the nature of Ialda. Akamatsu and the anime staff team skipped the whole Sayako arc because the story has nothing to do with Negima. Noticed how the anime only stick with Negima staffs? |
| @MahiaErebeaNegi No i didn't notice. Even so, everything else about this episode was abysmal. ps: i dunno, Mou Hitotsu no Sekai ova was pretty sweet for Negima adaption, props to shaft. |

GenesisAria said: @MahiaErebeaNegi No i didn't notice. Even so, everything else about this episode was abysmal. To be fair, even the audiences screens in this episode are awful and laughable as the audiences didn't even moving and having their mouth move other than the voices, they look like a background image more than a actual humans cheering in those screens. GenesisAria said: ps: i dunno, Mou Hitotsu no Sekai ova was pretty sweet for Negima adaption, props to shaft. Well along with the other OVAs and a Panchinko game, those are only exception and it's completely followed the manga story, I also like Mou Hitotsu no Sekai OVA for being faithfully adapted from the manga and able to see some best moments being animated (I actually like how they animated Eternal Negi Fever screen lol). |

| ok what is happening I know a lot has been skipped form the mange ...but for a non reader like me this keeps getting more and more confusing |
 |
| Good thing I drop this after the Fate fight since I know this adaptation is shit. The Japanese sales reflect to that anyway. http://imgsrc.baidu.com/forum/pic/item/ebdd87025aafa40f1fd80d5ea064034f79f019c0.jpg |
| And the flawless record of bad adaptations of Akamatsu's manga remains intact. |
| well, ep 10 was interesting. Mana! she appeared yay! I wonder if everyone forgot that Mana is half puerto rican? Cutlas showed up? I thought she wouldn't. Still her inferiority complex is right there. Calling Touta useless when she is the actual failure clone. Though her genes takes more on asuna. Negi shows up? The staff changed the story chronology again! Negi is not supposed to show up until the hoverbike race! |
| Appreciable as an episode, but some things are out of tune with the plot, a pity! |
 |
| i have a feeling that Yue & Nodoka don't know Negi is possessed otherwise they would be on hes side cause it was clear they are not being controlled |
| why Nodoka, Yue, and Rakan even there? are they being manipulated too? also, isn't it weird to make a ruckus in the beginning of tournament? seriously? |
| Age of original Negima girls is all over the place. I get why Eva, Chachamaru and Sayo look like they do. But others are human. * Ayaka is old and have grandchildren. * Mana is adult woman. * Nodoka and Yue looks like no time passed at all. I don't get it. |

But others are human. * Ayaka is old and have grandchildren. * Mana is adult woman. * Nodoka and Yue looks like no time passed at all. I don't get it. 1. Ayaka is still alive because she wanted to see Asuna for one more last time before her death. 2. Mana is a half demon, not a human. 3. This one is kinda spoiler-ish.... but apparently Nodoka and Yue stopped aging after having a contract with Negi. A question like this is giving more reason as why Negima! (And UQ Holder!) anime needs a anime remake that follows manga stories closely rather than having fillers for over 10 years. |
MahiaErebeaNegiMar 11, 2019 4:46 AM
| Why is the blonde one (who I forgot the name of even though she was best girl in the prequels) the only one who aged? And why are the two bookworms on the side of the bad guys? This is all very confusing. |
MxS7HGS said: Poor Sayo, still stuck to that place. I really thought she was only around because of the dean that loved her back in S1. I was thinking she'd passed on once he dies as well. Uh...... You do realize Sayo's back story in the first anime wasn't canon, right? |
