CuteChocobo got it wrong. The 2 part OVA is over and done with, this is the new TV series which just started airing. No word on how many episodes it'll have, though I'm expecting it to be 26.
It's starting from scratch -- basically a remake, or "re-imagining", if you like. It'll take the basic elements from the manga, but with plenty of other original material thrown in. Word has it that instead of one pactio card, there'll be three, with different effects. Yes, this series will be focusing more on the battles than on harem fanservice. How ya doing, buddy? |

So I guess you didn't stick around for the news that Del Rey wasn't going to censor the manga after all.
If you want fanservice, get the (upcoming, thanks Sar) OVAs by Shaft. How ya doing, buddy? |

It's not like the fansubbers are watching this thread for instructions.
And, in reference to your first post, GAINAX isn't involved in this series. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Well it's Shaft/GANSIS. The original source had confused GANSIS with GAINAX. I can understand the slip-up though, since GAINAX/Shaft had teamed up previously on Mahoromatic/Konomini/He is My Master.

Episode 2 has aired (raw at tokyotosho), featuring the OP. And what a stylish opening animation sequence, Utena references and all! For some reason they used the character monologue portion of the song. Those who want to hear the rest can get this radio rip (warning: low quality, plus Ai Nonaka talks through most of it):
http://astost.condign.org/Negima%20O...0%28rip%29.mp3 As for the rest of the episode, whoa. It's even better than episode 1, and the way they handled Evangeline's character was spot-on. I was speaking idiomatically. |

I'm sorry to say this, but Mahora should start looking for another encoder. Forcefully mashing a 4:3 karaoke hardsub into a 16:9 raw is an encoding decision that simply boggles the mind.
No wonder the OP and ED sequences are horribly pixelated and stretched. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

It's not about the karaoke. The actual 16:9 raw has the OP and ED sequences in the correct proportions (with the top and bottom bars removed). What they did here was to cut out the 16:9 sequences just so they could slot in a karaoke sub that they had encoded in a different 4:3 raw.
It's almost like inserting 30 seconds of 128kbps into a 5 minute 320kbps song. FELIPE NO |
