I can't help but think it would have been a lot cooler if the story really had been about Touta building up such an organization rather than having it all dumped into his lap already.

Negima had a pretty good peak, but let's not kid ourselves with how bad the first ~70 chapters are (gonna throw the ending in that group too). To say nothing of the various missteps thanks to the Love Hina fanservice coming back to remind people that Akamatsu hadn't gotten all of it out of his system yet (E: or ever will).

Before I saw the last page I thought he had made Touta explode, which would have been a pretty gruesome regeneration.

All I really remember about Negima?! was that it was the previous title holder of ending sequence that is both super catchy and super annoying before Witch Craft Works came along to give it a run for its money.

chumbler posted:She got exactly what she wanted all along, though. Also I like to imagine that the Chisame ending is the true ending. I like to think Akamatsu favored it too, because A) she was a Naru and B) she had probably the best developed relationship with Negi.

So if she can only go back to a save point while it's burning, does that mean that she'll still be able to return even if someone were to come over and kick it over say 10 minutes after she leaves? Since it was burning at one point in time, she would simply return to when she first set it. Or does it need to be still burning somewhere in the world when she dies for it to work?

I'm sure the circumstances are different, and in fact this has a good chance of being a bit of a red herring, but at first glance it's sort of dull that Fate's goal seems to be the exactly the same sort of thing as when he was a villain (the Cosmo Entelecheia thing). Basically save the population at some sort of expense that puts them at odds with the heroes.

Negima also made a point of having Negi's main power be his negative/dark aspects, contrasting with his father as the more typical style of hero. I remember really liking the chapter(s) where he's forced by Rakan to choose between the two styles and coming to the conclusion that Evangeline suited him much more.

I guess they're going to go for the rear end in a top hat Victim approach, where the people he wound up actually killing were actual criminals or immortal hunters after him or something. Given that that bunch of dorks were apparently not worth it. Or he's still a red herring. I guess we have another ambiguous gender character as well, going by that title page.

The Mars/Magical World arc of Negima is probably the best thing Akamatsu has ever done. I couldn't remember if you were still posting in this thread, but now that I see you around I was wondering whether it would be possible to get the OP reworked a little since the title image is broken and all. Maybe collate some of the silly Negima questions like who Negi/Eva/Fate are, what chapters you could ostensibly start with in Negima if you're going to be all about reading it but still want to see some of the background to UQ Holder. Examples being Ch. 26 (Kyoto Field Trip) or Ch. 72 (Mahora Festival).

I wonder if Touta will be the only one who inherited Magia Erebea or there will be multiple users; if not that could be why he is so "sought after".

I wonder if Akamatsu is a Type-Moon fan, because that description on the types of vampires sounds fairly similar to the True Ancestor/Dead Apostle situation in that franchise.

I remember the various "training" arcs in Negima being a decent amount of fun, too. Guess Akamatsu is good at them.

But they're not immortal? I mean they're just sort of hanging out rather than getting killed like the others for the training.

There are so many random details from throughout Negima that have been lost to the ether in my mind. It was a pretty ambitiously developed world after all.

Arc is probably wrapping up since "surpassing the teacher", not that Touta will actually succeed, is usually the last step.
