After the rampaging popularity of Negima, he can just dive headlong into karate sorcerers punching one another in the face. Good on Ken. First Chapter Scans Leaking Around The Edges Spoiler: Welcome back, Eva. Love the new look.

The ending was literally a protest of Kodansha trying to take his copyright on his work away.

His protest had the intended effect, Kodansha found other things to occupy itself with besides trying to recreate American comics problems. (Man, they must be in fits over Naruto and other big name comics shutting down over there.)

Nate RFB posted:Was this ever proven or sourced? I seem to remember it was just a lot of speculation from the fanbase when they coupled the ending with the new legislation. I think it likely was the case behind the scenes either way but I don't think Akamatsu actually came out and said it was a protest. The timing lines up entirely too well. The legislation starts up, he starts pushing the comic towards a rapid end AND he starts vocally supporting alternate, creator-controlled online distribution of comics. He doesn't need to actually say anything at all. He's been in this business a very long time and he knows how to resolve a series without making readers flip the hell out. That ending was severely rushed and as much money as he was making for them, it wasn't Kodansha telling him to hurry up and finish it.

I think the going theory on why Eva doesn't have the traditional weaknesses she ought to have is because of Magia Erebea redefining certain parts of her supernatural makeup.

It might be to help emphasize that she's changed her overall outlook a lot from the old days and is conveying herself in a more wholesome manner.

Eva was, more or less, a member of Nagi's team and even he didn't know about her real form until he put the whammy on her.

For lack of a better term, it seems that Eva has finally ditched the 'vamp' aspect she played up. Maybe even she decided she was getting a little too old, and a little too Face, to be conforming entirely to the traditional Dark Queen role.

Of course, if this IS a kid of Setsuna's line then a sucking chest wound really is JUST life's way of telling her she needs to slow down.

Greblin posted:And ultimately, all shounen protagonists are immortal anyway. Got a good point here. Some of the BEST have been expressly immortal (or, at least, indestructible), such as everyone's favorite zombie: Yakumo Fujii.

McTimmy posted:Hahaha, they used Happy Material again. Happy Material for the song, but the opening animation is pure Shinbo. The credits behind this production are bonkers. Ken Akamatsu (he's one of the writers) is teamed up with the Shimoneta team. ...And the other writer is a JoJo anime writer... Buckle up, lads!

There's so much subtle trolling in the opening from the very first shot. It's an EXTREMELY 'I learned how to do this from Akiyuki Shinbo!' opening.
