[Anime] Negima!? New Series (Spoilers?)

WHY THE FUCK IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS.

AQS forum members got it up, so thank them for me.

It's something quite different than expected. The good news is that they aren't the same assmonkeys that made the first series. The real news is that there is quite some differences, right off the bat, unlike the manga and series 1:

-Konoka and Setsuna are on friendly terms (shoujo-ai? PLZ GANSIS [fix'd from GAINAX])
-Nodoka falls for Negi
-We meet Evangeline
-Kamo's with Negi
-There's no ecchi fanservice (lack of fanservice would be inaccurate, as there's a hilarious skit at the end)

The art direction is gorgeous and I was actually laughing in glee over the opening scenes and the end of the episode. The musical score is beautiful.

SO WE GOT SUBS NOW BITCHES.

Episode 1 v2 From Mahora Fansubs

Episode 2

Episode 3

Episode 4

Episode 5

Episode 6

Episode 7

Episode 8


BONUS: Spring OVA RAW!

BONUS 2~: SUMMER OVA RAW!

New group dedicated to this project, so regardless of quality it's likely they'll be the fastest.

How ya doing, buddy?

I reiterate my first point because I've seen interested parties but no official announcements:

...shit. I've heard both companies used in this interchangably.

So I can narrow that down to SHAFT being the company behind this.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Fastest subber wins here. Sort of. I'll see what they're capable of when I see this.

I figure now that someone's actually subbing it we won't be waiting half a week to get subs, unless the other groups don't finish by next wednesday.

If you don't mind, I'll be posting that link up in the first post.

Most amazing jew boots

Yes, they were awesome. There were two phrases that people pointed out to me that they didn't translate--"Uo mabushi!" and "Da Bomb!" Both which were on the blackboard...

But I guess it's not all that much. They started... Friday, I think. And with them being dedicated, I bet it won't take long much after that. It's all a matter of getting the widescreen raw.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The OP is fucking sexcellent, especially with the KonoSetsu touches.

I actually liked the talking before the lyrics kicked in. >:/

Ep 2 was a bit of an infodump, so I'm going to wait for a sub before I rate it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Wait a shit... what the fuck happened to my other post?

Anyway I've seen Ep 2 subbed finally... Mahora could've put a better font for the OP.

Also they fail at translating the board... at least find some amusing things out of it.

Overall I finally understand how the show views Eva. Ep 3 will be interesting when the RAW comes out tomorrow.

FELIPE NO

Episode 3 RAW

Quite frankly, this episode pwned hard. Best fight scene so far, along with the fact that there are some funny moments:

Spoiler:

-Asuna creaming Eva with a BOAT
-Konoka is a hardcore gamer, and Setsuna doesn't like it
-Makie STILL gets pwned at the end of every Baka Rangers skit!

And the music was godly this episode.

And yes Ace, I learned my lesson and won't post useless sub advertisements.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It's funny to see all the original voice actors back though XD

Because the last anime WAS fail. I mean it was far too simplistic and FAILED to follow the manga. At least this new series recognizes it won't do that and doesn't try.

And is it just me or is Setsuna sounding sexier?

Also the dub doesn't improve matters much with the first series, and it wouldn't have SUCKED if it weren't for TWO horrible voices: Negi and Kamo. Both of them are ABSOLUTELY HORRID.

Asuna and Ayaka sound pretty good though.

I'm also getting pissed that it's taking the subbers steadily longer for them to release subs. I've been like, reading/watching everything Negima related RAW now. :'D

Jam it back in, in the dark.

^Already have the link on the front page!

And just because I care Episode 4 Raw is out.



There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh wow. This is horrible. Episode 5 RAW is out and still no subbed ep 4. Aggravating.

I hear some interesting stuff happens in this episode, but I'll probably edit this space later to make notes.

As well as link to the OVA sub. That's out too!

How ya doing, buddy?

Finally! Episode 4 is out!

I've browsed around and it appears that the sluggish subbing is a result of their problems with the karaoke for the OP and the ED. Remember that shitty encoder that jacked their episode 2? Kicking him out of the fun meant that they have jack squat in the natural JP speakers.

Also this episode Nodoka get the kissu kissu, and I've learned to love her a whole lot more with this series!

EDIT: Oh, and just to humor those who watch this series... http://negimamotivators.ytmnd.com

something I made. Forgive the crappy pic quality of it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I actually got the majority of them from Omni's Blog. If I get the time I might upload some of my unique ones (Nodoka's evil grin and Negi's Timeless River face) to imageshack sometime.

Oh, and I added ten new posters to that ytmnd above.

ALSO! The episode 6 raw is out, and I must say it's sexcellent. Setsuna FINALLY gets her badass back, and with more KonoSetsu to boot! Also Konoka gets to actually fight, and I find the KonoSetsu teamwork quite sexy to be quite honest. :P

I was speaking idiomatically.

Episode 7 Raw out.

Sayo ep was highly amusing, but not up to the caliber of the other eps sadly.

Scores for:
-Sayo Wreaking Havoc: the Video game. GP Sayo.
-Zazie: "There's something in my clothes"
-Mana's reaction: "let's shoot that shit"
-Setsuna going back to dumbass?
- GP Konoka because I can.
-Eva being just nice enough to care.

No points for:
-Asuna being a loser
-One liners from Nodoka/Chao/anyone who should've had more than one line
-JUST HOW MANY FREAKING BOWLS OF NOODLES ARE YOU GOING TO EAT, TAKAMICHI?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

SRY :/

Also the majority of the subbers at Mahora are high schoolers, thusly they have high school interfering with their lives D:. They're looking for a Translation Checker right now, as a matter of fact.

FELIPE NO

Wow, I'm totally getting slack about this crap! Mahora released Episodes 5 and 6 a couple of days ago (link in first post). I've also got the Summer OVA up and as well I haaaave

Episode 8 RAW. Interesting stuff I think.

Spoiler:

-Earligame pactios with Fuuka/Fumika
-New pseudo-shoujo villain
-Setsuna continues dumbassery

Looks like only Episode 7 is the only "filler" episode so far.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Episode 9 RAW is out.

Getting more random and infodumpy... not good.

I defenitely need to start waiting for subs to get this info out. It's not helping that this series is getting so random that I need Omni's Blog as a guidebook almost every ep now.

Next episode is Ayaka... won't that be interesting.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!

So guys, how about it. Episode 8 has been released, and Episode 11's raw is now out.

A few things about 8:

-Needs moar desu.
-Who the hell is this "Black Rose Baron" freak.
-Nodoka is cute in this episode.
-Makie phails for dumbassery.

Episode 11:

Spoiler:

-Asuna's chupa tees phail in the clutch!
-Haruna and Yue can be sneaky
-If Eva knows who the Black Rose Baron is... is there any reason why she's pointing and laughing at Takimichi instead of rushing out to kick his ass?
-Wow. Does Zazie has more lines here than she does even in the original manga?
-Misora, oh your wacky Yoga hijinks <3. You'd make a nice Sonic.
-Setsuna has no reservations about giving Konoka a back massage, I see.
-What's up with BRB trying to kiss Yue.

I'm expecting a bit more magical battles. Is that so wrong?

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm kinda disappointed in Mahora. They're getting steadily slower in releases. It's one thing to be slow, and that's okay, but if you're going to GET SLOWER FOR EVERY RELEASE I'd like a heads up.

Most amazing jew boots

Now I find that Mahora does do a status update... but only on mIRC ;_;

I'll need to update page one with the torrent links of course.

SO HAY GUYZ HOW ABOUT THAT PLOT TWIST ON EPISODE 12.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well it does get random.

In a good way.

It's not like the first at all, OR the manga, and neither does it try to be. It's PPD styled fun with a plot and smooth animation, and that's why I like it.

It could use more action, though.

OH, and the raw for Episode 17 is out, with a massive shocker. get it here.

Spoiler:

-The Black Rose Baron is... Nekane. I'm not joking.
-Setsuna goes back to massive phail!
-Some older jokes return.
-This episode was retarded. In a good way.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Official soundtrack out! It's pretty badass.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ah geez!

I admit I kinda lost interest in keeping up this thread because subs come out so infrequently. Mahora is a) slow as hell and b) swamped with problems. While it'd be nice if someone else did it, everyone else is a) slower and b) swamped with other anime.

There is no love for this series, and to make matters worse recent RAWS have shown a lack of plot, though I hear it's supposed to return next week.

FELIPE NO

So for all of you waiting for subs: the jig is up. Game over. Mahora's TL has betrayed them, thusly Mahora's got nothing. Better start crackin' on those RAWS.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Actually according to one of the staff they got a temp TL on the job, and 15 is 2/3 done and on the way.

But they're still slow. Ah well. Slow is better than none at all.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
