I'm still mad about how the manga just suddenly fucking ended. I was really big on Negima up to that point, even if it was shota harem DBZ and had been for a while by the end.

There was a sequel manga, but the whole cast changed and the time skip was just too big, so I couldn't get myself to give a shit.

I used to take off the plastic wrap on the negima manga in the store to look at the panchira

I only watched the first TV series - I vaguely remember enjoying it, so I dunno why I didn't continue

I watched and read all of it but god knows why because it wasn't very good other than the art. I remember the Shaft anime which was a very loose adaptation being alright. I suppose if you just love harem and shonen battle manga this will tick the boxes.

I've only watched the SHAFT version. But I was ultra obsessed with yuri at the time so I got so bothered by ep 5 (I believe it was 5, but I mean the one directed by Oishi in case this isn't the right number) I was unable to enjoy the rest with a clear mind.
