Warning! This review contains spoilers, if you are someone who has not yet seen this anime but plan too, do not read any further than this.

What can I say, this is about a 10 year old wizard prodogy from Wales, who ends up getting chosen to finnish the rest of his wizarding training in Japan as an English teacher for an all girls acadamy.... Adventure Ho! All the possible hijinks ang hillarious sexual tension take action in this very enjoyable anime. It follows a story that sticks some what close to the manga but still has quite a few differences. It also had to ... create its own ending because the manga was being produced more slowly than the anime. I had read the first volume of the manga series, discovering how much I enjoyed it, I decided to check out the anime adaptation. The first i noticed different was the begining, instead of starting with the main character, Negi Springfield, getting his assignment to teach at an all girls academy in Japan, it start of with the female protagonist, Asuna Kagurazaka, trying to cast a spell to make a teacher she has a crush on teach her class again. sooo the anime sorta vaguely makes it about her instead of Negi. Next thing I noticed was the animation, It was slightly lower grade than the manga and just slightly a step up from anverage flash video on newgrounds.com. For example most of the hair color for the characters were nothing like that of the manga and there was a slight lack of detail.

After about 4 minutes of anticipation, I finally get to hear the voice of Negi. It isn't quite what you'd expect it to be, its not that bad it just catches you by surprise then after a while you kinda get use to it. (by th way, his name is not pronounced Neji). If you are able to get past the wierdness of the relation with Negi and his 14 year old female students and more into the story its very fun to watch, but if you also like the wierdness then cool.

There is a some what funny gag that goes on in the show, whenever Negi sneezes it creates a strong and powerful gust of wind, and most of the time Asuna is in front of him when this happens and practically all of her clothes get blown off, this causes uneeded embarasment for Asuna, thus causing a constant quaral between these two characters. Over the course of the series these characters are able to form a special bond between eachother, as well as a first kiss, but the kiss was a crucial event that needed to happen otherwise Negi would've died at the hands of a vampire named Evangalene A.K. McDowell. It turns out that in order for negi to have a gaurdian to help him in a time of need it needs to made official by a kiss. Negi ends up making this deal with all of his students. I dont know whats wierder, that fact that he is there teacher, or the fact the he is 4 to 6 years younger than they are.

Any way, for my review I definitely recomend this anime. The last few episodes are really sad, but at the very last episode has a very touching conclusion that leaves you satisfied. However, there are some slight unanswered question that are left in the the air but thank god we have the upcoming ova's to tie those up. I myself am very satisfied with this anime, it was funny, akward, touching and enjoyable. My only suggestion is that you first read the first 3 volumes of the manga then watch the entire anime. When your done with that continue reading the manga for a much better story arc.
