Negima, Vol. 2: Magic 201 - Magic and Combat (Episodes 7-10)

What i needed to complete collection

After spending the bulk of the previous six episodes on the first disc introducing what appear to be the main characters, the final one at last introduced a sub-plot for Negima! that may serve to carry it to the conclusion of this season. It's slowly becoming apparant that many/most/all ( ? ) the members of Negi's class have extraordinary powers of one sort or another. Most obviously, Evangeline A. K. McDowell is a fellow-wizard and vampire and her "servant" Chachamaru is a super-powered android who together have evil designs on Negi and his powers. But others also show supernatural symptoms; or those powers are at least hinted at. Among those latter are Negi's erstwhile "partner" Asuna, who finally seals their contract with a "proper" kiss, much to the approval of Negi's "familliar", the talking ermine Camomille Albert.The main problem with this series, overburdened as it is with a far too-large cast of supporting characters, is its emerging tendency to flit from one to another with probably too-little time spent with any one of them. Even Asuna suffers from this aspect in this set of episodes, since she is reduced to the sidelines after the victory over Evangeline. During this hiatus, we get to know Kaede the Ninja Girl and the somewhat obnoxious pink-haired twins, who seem far too much to channel Kaolla Su from Love Hina! To the credit of the writers, they're introducing them in small enough doses so as to not overwhelm with the sheer number of girls all at once. If this trend continues, we'll get to spend a little time learning to differentiate between most of the cast; but not enough to really make any of them truly memorable.

Great show simply love it.

Great series

i prefer the manga and the series (negima!?) later made by SHAFT, but this is still satisfying to watch if you just want to sit down and relax and get your mind off of things.
