I'm hyper re-reading all this series as of at least a week ago. Thanks, OP. I love the threads and I appreciate you posting them in full-volume entirety here for others to get involved, too. And in the best quality I've seen.
If you ever reach the later volumes around here, I'll re-edit my saves, thanks to you.
So, Negima has a lot going for it: 1. Great character art 2. Wonderful artstyle 3. Incredibly good plot (seriously, it's very engaging) 4. Wonderfully written plot (seriously, it's very engaging!) 5. Terrific lore, both human and magical, from consistency in spell-casting to background and more 6. Astounding battles that only get better, more dramatic, more exciting and mind-blowing; it never goes dull 7. Astounding panties that only get better, more dramatic, more exciting and mind-blowing; it NEVER goes dull!
I could go on and on...but you know what I think I like seeing the most in this series? Pages like referenced, and how often they appear. Enormous scale. You instantly, INSTANTLY feel just how large, how grand, this battle and these attacks are meant to feel. Just how conceivably inconceivable how GRAND the world is and what these characters are not just seeing, but participating in at every second. It's a great series and I love how big it makes everything feel.
Doubful. Is true that they ran at the same time for many years, but SAO was definitely nowhere near as known as Negima, specially because it was a web novel, it wasn't until after it got published as a light novel that SAO gained popularity.
Maybe, but it seems somewhat unlikely. Essentially everything in SAO's first two anime series were already written by January 2005. The Alicization arc they're currently working on was written between January 2005-July 2008. So Negima was less than a year into the Magic World arc when SAO finish it's original webnovel run.
>only 1/3 the surface area of Earth So, all of Asia, India, Africa and Europe to cover on foot, then? They just don't have to explore North & South America, Australia, Antarctica and every island on the planet.
Dominic Sanders
You're right! Because he's not a ferret! He's an ermine!
Ethan Martin
>I've found our location! >The next page: Chachamaru is point off in the distance >Several stars in the sky are shining bright Oh dear...I guess she isn't NECESSARILY pointing at those bright, shining stars in the sky, now is she?
Charles Gomez
Yeah, I'm glad to see us Yea Forumsnons getting to re-read and talk about it.
Noah Myers
I'm glad he pitched it and it didn't get pitched, 20 volumes in, that's for sure.
Hey, I owned to ferrets and I loved those weasels, I'll call that perverted ermine who just wants to nuzzle his way into girls' panties whatever I think fits him!
Lucas Rivera
Yeah, I feel bad for only noticing the threads 15 volumes in. It's a lot of fucking work to post 200 images in a thread all-your-own, but OP's been going at it. I hope it pays off and more folks notice and talk about it.
Makes me happy he's posted the archives, too, to see what other might have said in what I missed.
Lotta people really going for Negi's face in this volume
Jacob Diaz
Ehh, it's not so bad. Eats up my evenings though. I'd like to do more series but I think I'll take a bit of a brake after Negima.
Samuel Reed
Is there any translation to what chachamaru is saying?
Brayden Brooks
I noticed the threads about 7 volumes in and it does seem like some new readers are joining us in these threads. I originally read Negima after it already finished so it's nice to actually talk about it with others.
Jordan Evans
YEAH Time to INSERT your MAGICAL TOOL Start RELEASING your MAGICAL STAMINA And WIND UP THE DOLL JUST THE WAY SHE LIKES IT
Nice work, Negi-sensei.
Jace Adams
You say that, but I know what it's like. I'm glad you do it out of your own choice, just want you to know I'm glad to see it.
Michael Reed
>*Robot orgasm noises* >The pleasure of being cummed inside
Julian Sanchez
Well the story goes ken wanted to do a battle shounen but kodansha wanted another love hina so he gave the 10 year old mage boy has to teach at an all girls school pitch. I think he did a good job turning a harem into a battle shounen.
Justin Long
>I just have to focus my magical energy and turn >Well, then...please...be gentle >sfx THRUST >Okay, it's in! >unh.. >*blushes* *presses hands into groin* >Please, be gentle. >It....it feels good.
Henry Thomas
Sure seems like Negi-sensei is screwing one of his students.
Dominic Rodriguez
To this day I still fap to these panels. Chachamaru made me like sex robots before it was cool. If I lived alone and had the cash, I would order a custom that looked like her.
>INVINCIBLE BATTLE TOURNAMENT BETWEEN MEN, GIRLS, DEMONS, MARTIANS, BEASTS, MAGIC, SCIENCE, EXPLOSIONS, CURSES, but also panties (thanks Jack)!!!!
Juan Harris
A magical beast that eats clothing and clothing only. Convenient.
Nicholas Brown
With the gates closed, they ended up having to stay in Mundus for around 30 days.
Ryder Morgan
>wipe him down >I'll go wipe him down wtf, no one ever "wiped me down" when I was sick, and my mother was a nurse. Not that I wanted "wiping down" it's just stupid. Go take a bath to clean off and wash your sheets, but being wiped down...I don't want the women I love tending to me when I'm a disgusting sick freak.
Caleb Howard
every mans dream to have his girlfriend nude while playing retro games and eating chips
wouldnt a publisher get mad if you lied and started to change genre half way?
Joshua Hall
>Kotaro has wild haymakers >Negi has stances and direct, efficient strikes Thanks, Ku-roshi.
Eli Parker
I love all the locations, an artist who draws background is nice. I'm looking at you, Kubo.
Brayden Adams
How many assistants did ken have? drawing all those characters and backgrounds(even with tricks) can take a long time.
Isaiah Foster
Calling her "Donet-san" makes it really hard to tell how to pronounce her name. She's clearly from Europe, possible French, but I don't know if it's doh-NAY or DAHNNette
Josiah Rivera
Nice. Saved.
Gabriel Gomez
I hope you liked all these characters cause now it'll take like 6 whole volumes for most of them to get back together.
Luke Walker
>Buys a suit-&-tie >Takes off the trench-coat >Flips up the coat lapels >Walks in to the bar with a smug look and two elementary-aged girls Like everyone in the bar, I feel like punching Negi in the face, too.
Well its not like he suddenly stopped doing harem hijinks. It got popular so they probably didn't meddle too much.
He had a few. He had 1 who mostly just worked on the magic translations and research.
Landon Hughes
>I don't like the way you look. So I need to punch you. Bingo.
Christopher Brown
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now it's "teen girl in a maid outfit" time for Magic Teacher Negima Sensei. Yup. Hi, editor. (I don't mind, though)
Benjamin Phillips
What a rad outfit you have on Asakura-San.
Henry Long
>out of the way plebs, the main characters have arrived
Dylan Lopez
Thanks for the daily dump OP! This mega-arc is great but it always makes me mad since so many characters get stuck in shitty situations over the course of it. Can't wait for a certain badass character to appear....
Thomas Sullivan
Love Hina, Negima, I love Ken
Aaron Phillips
Somehow I got extremely lucky and noticed these threads from day 1. Was surprised that OP was able to get it off running and now it's a consistent part of my day!
Joseph Campbell
>Well its not like he suddenly stopped doing harem hijinks That's for sure
>petrification beams >naughty tentacle monsters >magic slave collars >winding Think of all the doujins we never got.
William Nelson
...
Zachary Fisher
His orphan girls better be with him 24/7 in the final volume, too. I'll be mad when i get there and I don't see them all.
Luke Stewart
It's a completely not-Japan world that's been a magical battle shounen (+sex talk) and suddenly there's a middle-school girl in a western (Japanese maid-cafe) maid outfit, and it's being passed off like she's a slave and that's the uniform.
I mean, go for it, I guess, but I'm not really into maids. Love the choker, though. 100%
>Slavery doesn't exist in real life, right? Clearly haven't been to Libya
Cooper Diaz
Chachamaru a best I dropped UQ Holder early on, but was it ever explained what happened to her and why someone else has her killsat now?
Lucas King
I wonder what happens if you add up the number of hearts in the chapter titles on each volume's table of contents and put them on a graph
Michael Sullivan
I wish Kaede had gotten some more attention in the Magical World arc compared to 'revisit the same character arc over and over' Setsuna.
Anthony Hall
It was faked by the official channels
Camden Cooper
The Senran Kagura devs need to do a Negima game.
Robert Hall
It's more common than you'd think
Logan Cruz
They kinda did already though?
Aiden Walker
Damn, these take me back. Always loved the extras on the background and the lexicon, there should be the one entry about boobies(mama) in a few days, I only got the German version but that was a pretty long entry. Also the entry on Rakan's dimension break.
Jace Johnson
Not that I'm aware of? I'd like one using the actual Negima IP. You could have a couple levels set during the Mahora Festival, and play like the Dynasty Warrior clone Senran Kaguras, a training mode set in Eva's resort; etc etc.
Done by Marvelous, uses Negima IP, but doesn't play like dynasty warriors. Also hope you didn't expect something good, all the Negima games are kinda disappointing.
Colton Robinson
I cant help but like the art on eva here
Angel Price
She's a cutie
Cooper Martinez
It's the slippers, innit?
Brayden Scott
Are you dong this weekly?
Jaxson Gomez
Daily, my dude
Christopher Perry
She's with Ayaka now. No idea about the second part.
