MORE ACCURATE TO THE MANGA OKAY.

Or, you know, just not killing Asuna off completely out of nowhere with barely any explanation.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think I'll have to read the manga, I had a friend give me the anime but the entire series seemed to just tread water the whole way through. Then they killed Asuna for no reason at all I just lost any interest I had in the show.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Spoiler:

It turned out the death wasn't random, but because she made a pactio with an uber demon when she was a wee lass (which doesn't make sense with the first episode with her never seeing magic unless she was forgetting it solely on trauma). Negi breaks teh rules and goes back in time to find said demon and meets icklefink daddykins. Nagi shows off a few demons but gets stabbed and disappears in the process, making lil'!Asuna angst and go make that pact, explaining her magic immunity. Unfortunately for the ten-year-old brat he left a paper trail and all of his class goes to find him. Uber demon sends mass of demons to take care of them but the class finds NEgi and THE ENTIRE DAMN CLASS pactios with him. They all kick demon ass until big daddy shows up. Negi fries it by using his staff and turning lil' Asuna into a death battery, owning it from the inside. It's too late to reverse the pact, but some genius machine from Chao allows her to absorb the energy from that pact with the world tree and nullify it, allowing Asuna to live.

Yeah, that's it.

About the only thing the Negima anime did right was Konoka/Setsuna, and even then they screwed up and neglected Setsuna's half-demon heritage. Assholes.

Okay, see that makes it a bit more understandable. I mean, I'm not god damn psychic people, seeing her keel over dead off a tree branch doesn't come across to me as her having made a pact with a demon.

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