New chapter out. Touta manages to blow away Dana through sheer random reflexes and luck? Also more Eva stuff, with some predestination going on... Wonder what Dana has in store for Kitty as the chapter ends?

Oh hey, it reads as if Touta's made peace with the Negi (Or Nagai?) situation in regards to Eva so that's nice.

Nyaa posted:I think he absorbed the blow with the dark side and expel it back to her with the white side. Yeah, but he didn't do it consciously, just reflexively. It's why he couldn't do it again when Eva tried to get him to do so.

I'm really confused why Touta went from loving his adoptive mom in a normal platonic way to being in love with adoptive mom.

The Backdown happened entirely because he realized who Kitty was.

Of all the pervy stuff he draws, this seems less his style. Negi backed off from an Asuna romance, and a Touta/Eva pairing would lead the story/themes in a direction that doesn't make any sense.

It's a one-sided crush and will likely never be more than that. Kid's a teenager, it's not strange that he's got the hots for the woman he's known and lived with for only two years

It's pretty clear he finds the idea of liking Yukihime weird, but he still has trouble associating Eva and Yukihime as one and the same.

I feel like he's just in the bizarro alternate dimension version of finding an old photograph and going "Man that girl is hot who is that? ... Oh poo poo that's my mom!?" and he'll snap out of it once he, y'know, starts talking to his actual mom again. But maybe I just want to believe.

New chapter up Touta finally finds out he and Eva are existing in different times. And Kirie gets a bit suspicious of why he's so happy.

I'm willing to ignore some of the weirder parts of all this so long as Eva gets her happy ending. Her life kinda sucked.

You know, given the time shenanigans there's now a non-zero chance she fell for Nagi because he resembled Touta. Also I don't think anybody mentioned it back when it first showed up but it's interesting that when Eva goes Yukihime she wears the same hairstyle as her mom.

So I just made it to chapter 77. Madam Dana literally messing up Yukihime makes for one hell of a first impression. I didn't make it very far in the previous series but are nobles something that get's brought up in there? I keep putting it off but I'm starting to feel like I need to read to get more out of the references that keep cropping up about Negi and Yukihime.

Negima didn't establish the nobles but you should read Negima on the grounds that it's good. It has less Jetstream Sam than UQ Holder does though.

But it does have Jack Rakan.

I think the compromise here is obvious: MGR dlc where Raiden fights Jack Rakan.

It'd be something similar to the Armstrong fight, but even more awesome.

Noble vampires aka 'high day walkers' are mentioned a few times in Negima - at first Evangeline is called one. Then later on it's explained that she's actually not, she's a similar creature made artificially by the life maker, but real ones did exist, and that she was actually a failure at making one and not as naturally powerful as they tended to be. We never actually meet one in the series until Dana shows up in UQ Holder.

Eva seems to be who most people think of when the subject of powerful vampires comes up in this setting, since the real ones are incredibly reclusive. Heck, we haven't even seen any other vampires in uq holder (the organization). I'm not sure if Touta is one, even. He has decided on his own that he isn't a vampire, but Eva did say that she made him immortal.

He ended up with Chisame (who got her ideal ending) and I will hear no disagreement.

A funny thing that people noted: In the Asuna-oversleeps timeline, Chisame appears to lead a fulfilling life as part of whatever committee develops the space elevator. But with Asuna awake she becomes a hikkikomori. Asuna somehow destroyed her life I guess?

It's implied that Chisame is at least occasionally accomplishing things for Negi while being a hikkikomori; probably she ended up about the same in both timelines.

Silver2195 posted:It's implied that Chisame is at least occasionally accomplishing things for Negi while being a hikkikomori; probably she ended up about the same in both timelines. Yeah it flat out states that she's one of his most trusted advisors, so at the very least they likely talk a lot. Chachamaru probably visits her, too. But really she's living the NEET dream. A position of vital importance without ever having to leave your room. But speaking of Chisame and Chachamaru, their being buddies reminds me of one of the things I really liked in Negima, that the side characters all had pretty developed relationships with other side characters, at least by manga standards, rather than all of them just being with Negi. chumbler fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Jul 1, 2015 |

The first kinda ended early (since it started so early) and has a totally-out-of-left-field ending that's actually surprisingly good and poignant, though it doesn't fit the feel of the series (since it's not really a fighting anime at all by that point). The other anime is just a 100% swerve from the source material into crazytown.

I think Akamatsu was referring to the ending in the Magic World OVAs and not either of the TV series though. What was Negima?! Even actually about anyway? All I remember seeing was Nekane being Tukedo Mask.
