Mahou Sensei Negima
3 years 7 months ago
Currently being subbed by:<b>Ishin-Anime</b>First episode is out. Too bad BT is slow for me and their xdcc bots is queued up to 30+ ppl. Might take a while before I can finally watch it.
Checked it out and it looks ok. The art in the manga is pretty good (same guy as Love Hina) but the anime is pretty bad imo, best way to describe it is it's overly simple. If you've seen Stellvia it looks near identical to that but in an English boarding school type setting (this series is actually done by the same studio that did Stellvia). That being said, of the manga i've read (vol 1-3) i liked it so i'll follow the anime as well. One thing of note is that the encode looks awful. It may be the raw, it may be Ishin but it's got serious compression issues. I'm gonna see what other HQ groups decide to release it and make a decision then.
I am downloading it now. And yes,it is finally released. But I wonder how the anime will goes and hope it will not be something awful.
Someone made a joke and released a crappy encode. OR that's what they said.

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->How annoying, you are right though. It was this in their irc room earlier:Released: Mahou Sensei Negima (Magister Negi Magi) 01 [3D4152A9] (BT only for now) now it's:Released: Mahou Sensei Negima 01 (Real) [F18BD95F] (BT only) Looks more like they're covering their ass from a lousy encode than a "joke" (the encode went up around 20 MB), but i guess it qualifies as a "joke" when you have no irc distro and only bt for releases lol.

Up: 2Dwn: 2709rofl that's just awsome <!--emo&:ph34r:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ph34r.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Downloaded v2 or as they call it the "real" version and it looks like the exact encode, only with 20 MB more. I could be wrong though as i didn't rewatch the entire episode, but the scenes i did watch looked the same.

The "real" version is available on IRC now. Gawd...I'm queued at 99th place on their xdcc. XPYeah...the original release had some really serious encoding issues. I could see lots of blockiness in the colour.Could this be due to a rushed release? Ishin did release it in less than 24 hours after the raw was out on Tokyotosho.

Actually, I think the raw was already around on Thursday by Saiyaman Raws. I've downloaded it from their channel that day.The previous Ishin release(the fake one <!--emo&:P--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) quality looks a lot like saiyaman's release.
Meh. i hope it doesnt end up like love hina. Awesome manga, crappy anime...

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->me too. <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo--> Negima looks great and I hope for the best. I pretty much know the plot from reading the reviews from newtype and looks fine. the manga art is great // (me <---likes Ken akamatsu's art)
The animation looked poor and I don't remember anything about that girl in a fish suit X_x I always imagined she'd have red hair...

This is such...an odd show. I'm not sure I even like it. I think I'm going to give it another couple of episodes, but it's just...weird and not in a good way from the first episode.Maybe it'd be better if I had read the manga. x_X
I might try it since im a fan of the manga... trying to resist temptation of downloading the manga and buying the slow release of del ray. Hope the anime gives me the same feeling...
The manga is alright, its yet another harem anime that doesn't really seem to distinquish itself very well. I got a little bored with it.
