no their powers dont increase, the pills just alter their appearance to either a young or older age

Will Ako ever find out that her beloved Nagi is actually her child teacher Negi. I bet Akira already know anyway, she just coudn't take it.

Actually, it is not voodoo, as voodoo comes from a mix of african tribal magic and christianic beliefs.

it has to do with taoist magic and esoteric buddhism, have you ever read "Ghost Hunt" it has a lot of information about this stuff, in the manga.

THIS TOOK ME A LONG, LONG TIME TO CLEAN UP AND COLOUR, USING PAINT

I finally got around to completing Setsuna's new outfit, even though, after re-reading the tournament arc, I realise that she wore it during the tournament. next, I think I shall concentrate on making attack animations for Asuna, Setsuna, and Kotaro.

[ChaoRin019]

we should probably have a subforum for negima
or a subforum with subforums of each onemanga.com manga
don;t you agree ne?

[Darkreaper70]

if we have that, then people who are discussing other manga (ie fairy tail, ichigo 100%) will also ask for a sub forum, this is ok

[Magister Magi 13]

You have got to give it to Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece anyway. All of them were created before this serie and is worldwide popular before this serie. Some people still don't know this serie yet so it will take a while longer before the fame is the same level as the three of them.

And yes other fans will also be complaining that the other ones still don't have their own forum yet. Can cause a problem to OM.

[Mogx]

it's a shame not a lot of people know about this series. I love Naruto and Bleach too but this series is just as good. And personally i think the art in this series is a little better than Naruto.

[Darkreaper70]

every art is better than naruto, even my doodlings

its not well known because, ken akamatsu (the mangaka) is more well known for Love Hina

[Magister Magi 13]

Ken Akamatsu gotten famous worldwide because of Love Hina. And it's still popular till today, it'd still took a while for the fame to fade, it will last long just like Dragonball and Rurouin Kenshin.

But to tell you the truth, I like Negima more than Love Hina and this serie also last longer. The reason it's not as popular is probaby because the anime doodle make the story look bad. For such an amazing serie to have a rediculous anime gives it a very bad reputation. So people just have a wrong idea and not bother with the manga. >_<

[kyu]

me too. before any manga the one that really caught my eye was negima. soon as i read it i became hooked to it. it made want to continue to read it on and on and never get bored. i my number 1 even if it isn't to others. i really wish that negima was number one cause right now, no other series seem to be as interesting as negima.

oh yeah. yay to new chapter. cant wait for next one.

[Magister Magi 13]

Chapter 195 has been out in OM for quite a while now, and I want to see chapter 196, which is probably out by now in Japan. I WANNA SEE IT!!!!! >_<

[Darkreaper70]

it should be out by next monday, cause AQS isnt the fastest scanlating site but it still gets the work done

[Spade]

It's impressing how a series that lasted for 5 years already is still new every week. Other Mangas tend to get repetetive but this one is still fresh and it has so much potential to stay like that for a long time...

[Magister Magi 13]

I still want it to stay like that. This is a great serie and I like it. I maybe cruel but I don't want Akamatsu to take a break yet, well not untill the magic world arc finish (which is still a long time). lol

[ChaoRin019]

196 might be out next week since it sometimes take 2 weeks even in japan because akamatzu
might be taking a brake. try yahoo and for 196 raws or mangahelpers.com

[ChaoRin019]

anyone have 196 raw?

[Magister Magi 13]

AQS should have the chapter 196 translated by tommorow. They are pretty slow but still better than nothing.

[ChaoRin019]

really?
196 raw isnt out yet right?

[Magister Magi 13]

AQS translate the raw, but I'm not sure where you can find the raw though.

[ChaoRin019]

usually on mangahelpers.com
but might be next thursday

[Magister Magi 13]

I can't understand Japanese at all so I usually read the translatd ones, like on OM. So for me there's not much it i reading raw.

[kaverinebonhands]

nobody commented on the map I posted, or my sprites, took hours to do. My RPG is going to take a long time at this rate.
especially, since I still have no idea, how to go about building the battle system. And the fact that I have 8 playable characters, who all need sprites done, only Chachamaru is anywhere near complete, and now I need to also make an adult version of Kotaro and Negi. maybe I'll get Takamichi's sprite, and stick their heads over his, and use that as a base. BTW, has anybody been wondering where Negi's staff is?
it didn't go with him, so it's either back where they teleported from, or Asuna or somebody else has it. I wish the paperback versions didn't take so long to release, only one every three months. it'll be at least a year before they get to the same point as OneManga.com

[ChaoRin019]

I can't understand Japanese at all so I usually read the translatd ones, like on OM. So for me there's not much it i reading raw.

you go to www.aquastar-anime.net too huh?

[Magister Magi 13]

Only sometimes. Hey has anyone got any website that translate this serie. If possible let it be quicker than AQS.

[Darkreaper70]

only AQS scanlates it, mangahelpers used to do it but they gave up because noone really wanted to translate it

[Magister Magi 13]

Why would no one wants to, this is a good serie isn't it? Isn't it?

[Spade]

Sure, we like this series but there are also people who don't. That's the problem with opinions, there are just too many of them, they should be forbidden. :lol:

[ChaoRin019]

is true everyone have own opinion.
mine is negima is better than one piece, bleach, naruto.
find the story and especially art better.
recently getting fanservice.

[Magister Magi 13]

I still think that One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach is better than Negima (looks like I have different opinion to you guys too), obviously no one would no longer don't know these three series.

In my point of view I find this serie better than Love Hina, but some people still find Love Hina bettter. I'm not blamming anyone though . . .

[Darkreaper70]

One Piece is the best, only because it is

anyway, get back on topic, you guys drifted alot from the main topic

now that mana and takamichi is there i wonder who will be found next

[Magister Magi 13]

Umm . . . Since Negi and Kotaro is still trying to rescue Ako, Akira and Natsumi from being slaves, so they won't be finding others very soon.

There are no needs of worry for Asuna, Setsuna, Kaede, and Ku so Negi should be focusing on the other Ala Alba members and whoever followed Negi to Megalo Mesembria. Maybe one of them might pop up by themselves.

[Spade]

Negi can't really focus on anyone since he doesn't know where they are. He can track the badges but Makie and Yuna don't have them, so it's impossible to find them that way.

[Magister Magi 13]

There might be more than just them that follows Negi to Megalo Mesembria, maybe the cheerleader trio had come along too, did they? So it's even more trouble for Negi.

[kyu]

if you ask me negima is number 1 to me no matter what people say. other series are good but not as good or equal to me. i dont have a single manga i hate, except h which i hate so much i will not say it. i tried searching but no signs of 196 raw or translate online. i guess people might have ta wait till next week. i hope not. i cant wait who negi and kotaro face in tournament

[Magister Magi 13]

Makes me wonder, is Akamasu taking a break anyway, they didn't say anything about it.

[ChaoRin019]

not sure agree its no 1 manga.
but it as close to no 1 manga. also top favorites.
to-love-ru ties with negima in my opinion.

[ChaoRin019]

Makes me wonder, is Akamasu taking a break anyway, they didn't say anything about it.

he usually release one chapter a week but sometimes take breaks
so have to wait another week for next chapter.
1 chapter per week
or
1 chapter 2 weeks

[Darkreaper70]

there is an edit button use it...

and it isnt only ken akamatsu doing it, most if not all mangaka take breaks once in a while

[Magister Magi 13]

He hasn't been taking a break for quite a long time now, maybe we should give him one. At least he could say so earlier not just do so instantly.

[dragonblade1]

Mangahelper.com has the raw out now.

[ChaoRin019]

chapter 196 is awsome. art is awsome as usual. its understanding to see why it took 2 weeks. ^_^
summary of whole chapter spoiler. read if you want to know all about chapter 196.
negi and kotaro pass the test. they are given battle armor and goes into packed arena. they have tag battle against a super tiny fairy and lionguy (looks like leomon from digimon). the fight isn't one sided. eventually both knock out leomon out and fairy surrenders holding white flags. a emcee ask for negi name. he says his name and everyone is surprised. even chachamaru and chisame. the name he said is either nagi or negi.
also it seems one of nagi old comrade shows to watch fight. i think so anyway.
from behind looks like hooded albrio.

[Magister Magi 13]

Thank You ChaoRin for the summary, looks very interesting! I will also be waiting for the translated version. ^_^

[ChaoRin019]

if it release on regular schedule
should be out tomorrow or 2 days from now

[tsunade666]

it will be neither sunday or monday
and you watch digimon, do you?
and their is also a little fairy with leomon and it fires powerful magic but no match for negi and kotaro

[Magister Magi 13]

Ehhh . . . I'm sorry but I don't watch digimon. So I don't know who (or what) is leomon. I only watch digimon anime randomly when I was younger so I don't get everything about it.

[ChaoRin019]

it will be neither sunday or monday
and you watch digimon, do you?
and their is also a little fairy with leomon and it fires powerful magic but no match for negi and kotaro

dont watch it
play the ds rom:digimon moonlight
actually fun. similar to pokemon but hp, mp, attack # like final fantasy. more evolutions and complex graphics.

[ChaoRin019]

Ehhh . . . I'm sorry but I don't watch digimon. So I don't know who (or what) is leomon. I only watch digimon anime randomly when I was younger so I don't get everything about it.


just think of werekitty or werelion (both male)
or kotaro with kitty tail, claws, head, with muscles.
fairy 1/2 size of werelion head but magic blast like normal mage.

[Cero13]

0.o? how did it turn into digimon thread?

[ChaoRin019]

is not
is only describing negi + kotaro opponents

[tsunade666]

yap
but isn't that spoilers for other guys who haven't read it yet..
lets keep it minimal for now.the translated version it not yet out so its still a raw and spoiling for others are rather bad...

[Magister Magi 13]

I can't understand raw anyway.
So spoiling summary is ok for me.

[Spade]

For me it's not. I don't want to know what happens before I have the translated version of it.

*would like to use his DarthVader-example again but has overused it already*

[ChaoRin019]

is translation out late.
schedule always on thursday.
btw anyone read rockin heaven?
like opposite negima.
instead of guy in all girl class its girl in all guy class + 1 other girl

[Darkreaper70]

there is no set schedule, AQS usually takes less than a week to get it out though, so if the raws showed up tuesday, it will come out sunday or next monday

[ChaoRin019]

but raw out for, like a week

[Darkreaper70]

no? it came out this tuesday

[ChaoRin019]

really?
seems like a week

[Darkreaper70]

thats because last week ken akamatsu took a break so no raws came out

[ChaoRin019]

i know.
i mean waiting for translation, raw seem to come out before tuesday.

[xingese_alchemist]

Isn't that how AQS normally operates though? I'm pretty sure they come out with scans over the weekend when the raws come like Monday/Tuesday.

[Magister Magi 13]

Basically they are slow. That's what I'm saying

[Spade]

Since they're the only group doing it, they can't be slow because you have no other group to compare them with. ;)

I'd rather have a good scanlation than a rushed one. They can take all the time they need.

[Magister Magi 13]

To tell you the truth, I don't think that AQS translation is that good, there text is not really clear and sometimes it's a bit hard too read.

[Darkreaper70]

if you dont like it then dont read it, no1 is forcing you to read it. AQS is using their own time to scanlate it, again ungrateful

[ChaoRin019]

i prefer the actual book.
but since it behind maybe 2-3 vol. have to read aqs.
i think vol still on festival arc

[Tuqui]

someone can tell me when it comes out the new chapter, because i read it since a short time i don´t know, it´s weekly or o monthly?

[ChaoRin019]

raw already came out
translation tomorrow or monday

[legendkiller1994]

does anyone see the ending of the series anytime soon?

hopefully not since this is very a very good manga.

[ChaoRin019]

nope. took one month to find chachamaru and chisame.
no new pactio cards for now.
need to find chamo.

[legendkiller1994]

was chamo by himself or was he with someone?

[tsunade666]

maybe with someone.
kamo can't protect himself if his by himself and besides it will be much
faster if ken will group the weak ones so if they are founded they are in group.
the strong ones can live by themselves so I think they will be found individually.

[ChaoRin019]

negi missing wand.
i thinking he have eva ring.
that why he can use magic w/o staff.
hope chamo show soon. if negi want them safe then chamo might reason that having pactio will let negi know were they are. if so then there massive pactio (5x if chachamaru also make one)

[tsunade666]

hmmm
another pactio
but negi is preventing the girls to know its him
among the 3 only the swimming tall girl know(sorry forgot the name)
he even lied to ako.

[Spade]

Yet another reason why I hate the second series "Negima?!". After around 12 episodes they already have a mass-pactio with the entire class. Kinda ruins the plot. XD

[ChaoRin019]

their safety more important.
he can pactio with asakura, chachamaru, akira, natsumi, and maybe mana as negi.
he can still pactio when he look like nagi with ako.
i think he reveal his is name or nagi name next

[tsunade666]

the chapter 196 is out my aquastar
we can expect it uploaded in the main site maybe tomorrow.
*download mode*

[Darkreaper70]

stupid negi using his dad's name like that, oh well he is smart so he has his reasons

[tsunade666]

WOOH
the chapter ROCKS
NEGIMA ROCKS:D :D :D :D
*I will be waiting for the strongest opponent so bring it in dozen! *
YAHOOOOOOOOO!
thats an awesome chapter :D :D :D :D

[technomo12]

also there is also a heads up sonner or later OM is gonna upload chapter 196 and also a small spoiler

twinkle bell is there hahahhaha

[Spade]

I'm sure I heard the name "Lim Dies" somewhere before and she also makes that weird comment. Did she appear in the story already?

[Magister Magi 13]

Lim Dies? never heard of the name. But the new chapter is really good! I like!!! XD No matter how you look at it, it's as if Negi and Kotarou is too strong and they gain easy victory very quickly. Are there any limits to these guys (probably up to Eva level I think).

[kyu]

yahoo, new chapter out. negi and kotaro tag team fight. they totally pwn people. yeah. i like how those 2 are working together in fight. they rock. now that i think about it they're a team right. and to enter a tournament you have to have a name for your team. so what do you think they're team name is. i think it might involve light and dark cause kotoro using darkness while negi use light.

cant wait ta see who they face off next. i know for certain that they will beat them up without any problems at all. i think

[technomo12]

SO im going to expect more fight scenes hahahha

and also love the end part you knwo that instant orgasm thingy ahahhah man trancslator really are humurous people

[ChaoRin019]

looks like eva ring is working.
since he can use magic w/o staff.
also the faries attack seem to be on par w/ jovis tempestis fulgurians.
if negi used jovis tempestis or lighting axe in the match (maybe head on against spring tempest)
the crowd would get more excited since they nagi specialty.
wonder if ako will find out nagi is negi. will be funny.
doubt there a name. since only tag battle they just say names. chance are white wings if there name.
seem like emcee is servant too.

negima om rank 15. should be way higher.

[tsunade666]

what do you think on the guy with on hood in the audience area an enemy or an ally of nagi?

[technomo12]

dunno but i hope more action and more comedy with lots ecchiness hehehehe

[ras_tel Madskil]

what do you think on the guy with on hood in the audience area an enemy or an ally of nagi?

most likely it's that Dolnegus guy that owns the place IMO.

[Spade]

From behind he looked like Albireo... *smack on the head* Ouch, uh, I meant Colonel Sanders. Might be another member of Nagi's (Negi's father, not adult Negi X.x) old crew, perhaps they all had this cloak.

[technomo12]

w8 w8 w8

pls guys do not make some wild speculation let us just w8 till we know

10mins later

DAMMMMMMM IT WHEN WILL THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ras_tel Madskil]

the only other one of crimson wing that had a cloak like nagi was Ku:nel
and he's stuck under the school library so it can be him.

[technomo12]

then who si it could it be another spy of the enemy or wat ever my head hurts on thinking

[Spade]

the only other one of crimson wing that had a cloak like nagi was Ku:nel
and he's stuck under the school library so it can be him.

And because we know that those two have cloaks, it automatically means that the others can't? That's some weird logic. X.x

[tsunade666]

any mage can wear any cloak they like or attire they like.Especially people who want to hide their identities will surely wear a clock

[ras_tel Madskil]

@tsunade666
true but if you follow the logic of the story the guy in the cloak can't be nagi or ku:nel. so its ether a new character yet to be announce or that friend of nagi that was suppose to meet negi&C.O at the gateport.

[Spade]

Yes, that's what I said, someone from Nagi's and Albireo's group. X.x

[tsunade666]

huh?
did I said that its nagi or kunel?
I only say any mage.
it could be a new guy or a ally of the thousand master but I didn't said that its nagi.
and right now I think even a clue about nagi would be impossible because of their current problem to face.Maybe after they paid the dept of natsumi and co.

[ras_tel Madskil]

oh! sorry my bad :p

but I still think its Dolnegus

[Magister Magi 13]

No ideas from me. But usually I could be anyone since anyone can wear the cloak, I could even be the other Ala Rubra (the crimson wing) team since they might not want to reveal their indentity.

[ChaoRin019]

could be one of nagi friend.
someone mention about meeting nagi friend. i think it was negi that said it.
"meet dads old friend on the other side"?
also could be fate monitoring their progress. only speech bubble "..."
mysterious mages appearance is insignificant until the minerva cup ends and
his identity is revealed and we finally find out if th friend or foe.^_^

[Magister Magi 13]

Most likely friend (I think) snice because if he's a foe he could have attacked Negi and the others by now.

[ras_tel Madskil]

^it could just as easley be a foe who waiting for the right moment to attack. at this point we don't know,so just gona have to wait for 197 to come out to find out or not. XD

[kaverinebonhands]

I hope that it's not going to take 30 chapters for the prize fighting arena like the school tournament, after, while the tournament was cool, too much of it slows down the plot, I want to see what Fate and his mates are up to, and when are Asuna and the others going to show?

My arms are sore from playing Wii for the last three days (11 hrs total?)

A custom sprite of Kotaro Inugami based off Negi

I just thought, Fate's group should be called the "Black Wing"

[ChaoRin019]

black wings is stupid. if they are refered to by ala alba member, most likely
they will be refered as "fate's group".
they should be called whatever there organization is called.
i think it was kansai organization?

[ras_tel Madskil]

^when fate was in kyoto he was working for the kansai organization under the alies of being from the istanbul assosiation bt really he's part of some secrect organization yet to reveal its self imo.

[ChaoRin019]

then they refer as fate's group.
or just fate since he main enemy and leader of opposing group.

[technomo12]

so there we are now clearr to call fates group as FATE`S GROUP

[tsunade666]

Kaverine the artwork is still awesome as ever keep it up

and as for fate's group he doens't introduce them yet so we don't know about those guys.

[ChaoRin019]

we know identity of shinmeiryuu girl.
those sprite rip off of negima gba game.
ds version have kotaro too.

[tsunade666]

yap I know but its a base he could use for the game his creating.

the girl that shows up in the kyoto arc the shinmeiryuu girl back then. tsukuyomi
I think the other 2 are from istanbul magic organization as well like fate.

[ChaoRin019]

what name is setsuna shinmeiryuu teacher at mahora?

[tsunade666]

you mean that girl... the shinmeiryuu teacher I believe her name is touko the one who help with setsuna's training
but shes an ally right? and she's more taller than the one kotaro fight with unlike tsukuyomi

[ChaoRin019]

i think she mercenary like mana.
headmaster hired her.

[tsunade666]

huh?
the headmaster hired her?
you mean the old geezer grandad of konoka?
but shes a teacher in mahora and I haven't heard that shes a mercenary of the old geezer

and btw I got the link for raw but its torrent
http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=torrentinfo&tid=6635
I can't access the mangahelpers (maybe server problems)but they also got the ddl

edit:
just finish reading the raw
guess who is the other 2 girls that will show up in a cafe as a waitress .
and guess who the man in the cloack is revealed and a hint he looks like an ally and also
* SWORD *

[ras_tel Madskil]

yo here's two ddl to get chapter 197

http://rapidshare.com/files/74418119/Negima197.zip.html
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6PE9Z0BE

awsome chapter

little action but at least we know who the cloak guy is

[Magister Magi 13]

Thank You! I shall look into it in the near future. XD

[ChaoRin019]

tsunade666.
remember festival arc where setsuna and kaede fight the 2 teachers at eva house giving others time to escape. think setsuna said something about it then.

[ChaoRin019]

omg chachamaru should keep 10 yr old body. so kawaii. outfit seem similar to chao outfit during her goodbye party.
yuna makie are waitresses and seem pretty popular with customers. seem pretty laid back and calm about magic world. think they learn bridge with magic world and earth broken. they see negi saying his name is nagi, the scene from 196 on a projection hover screen. yuna makie seem to blush seeing nagi on tv. negi group talk. mysterious cloaked figure revealed as nagi ally. he tallest one with giant sword in nagi old pic back from nagi kyoto house.

[tsunade666]

yap
I agree but chachamaru is too shy for it remember when hakase created it the 10 year old version for chachamaru to pair negi..she is insisting to use her normal body. :D :D :D
soooooo KAWAII!!!! MAX!
this is bad I'm becoming loli

[kaverinebonhands]

http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/6513/customspritesld0.png

Who are these custom sprites?
and who did I edit them from?
Anya, edited from Evangeline with Negi's eyes, Fate edited from Negi, Tsukuyomi edited from Konoka, but with Hakase's glasses, and Kotaro edited from Negi, and "Nagi" edited from Negi.


What is the swordmans' name?

[methaniel]

I don't think we know the swordman name by now, nobody mention him previously (and there is chance that we won't know his name until a few chapters like it did with Sanders)

[dragonblade1]

how come the scan not out yet?? It usally takes a few days after the raw.

[Spade]

Asking that won't make them come out any faster so just wait like the rest of us. -.-

[Magister Magi 13]

It just too bad the scan is out very slow. Sometimes it's even uncertain for AQS, which make it very annoying.

[kaverinebonhands]

You know what I think?
I think that the swordsman is actually the mysterious owner of the arena, Dolnegus. Wikipedia says that Dolnegus is the fat hairy cat beast-woman, who happens to be the manager of this particular arena, not the owner.

If I'm right then the swordsman's name would be Dolnegus. We still do not know what caused the red wing to break up. as by the time Gateau lay dying and had his final cigarette, only him, Asuna and Takamichi remained in the group, Nagi had already disappeared, Eishun presumably had already returned to Kyoto to take up the position of Elder in the Kansai M.A. and Alberio was gone too. and the boy and swordsman never showed up in any of Asuna's flashbacks, which indicates that they left the group before Asuna even joined.

http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/1323/takamichidd3.png

Guess Who?

his hairhad to be made entirely from scratch
his eyes are edited from haruna saotome
his chin and clothes were edited from Negi's, but I had to make his body broader, him being a fully matured man, rather than a pre-adolescent ten-year-old boy.

[Magister Magi 13]

I can't catch up anymore. Everything is kind of confussing to me . . .

[callibretto]

this may not be important, and someone probably already think of this, but when I reread negima again and see the red wing photos, I thought that the boy in the picture is Fate. is it confirmed not true already?

[ChaoRin019]

this may not be important, and someone probably already think of this, but when I reread negima again and see the red wing photos, I thought that the boy in the picture is Fate. is it confirmed not true already?

that takahata-sensei as child. guy looking right is master.
also next raw out soon but 197 en not up.
so slow.

[Darkreaper70]

http://www.onemanga.com/Mahou_Sensei_Negima%21/53/14/

that picture? yeah it does look like fate kinda. i doubt thats takahata. i dont think he even existed then

[ChaoRin019]

http://www.onemanga.com/Mahou_Sensei_Negima%21/53/14/

that picture? yeah it does look like fate kinda. i doubt thats takahata. i dont think he even existed then


yeh it is takahata. that was his master. at kyoto house they saying from 20 yr ago. takahata is like at least 30 yr old so that mean he 10 yr old at time. fate not born yet if he living being.
also eishun said he fight as negi comrade on chapter 53 page 15. isnt it nagi comrade? meow scans suck. aqs better.

[Edward]

that's not takahata 10 year old ..because there nagi is 15 year old...and that's a fact that takahata is older than nagi. plus, takahata isn't 30 yr old because he used eva's resort for training many many times..making him in the 40s or 50s.

[ras_tel Madskil]

that aint takahata cause in this picture he's next to his master and the kid is next to nagi
http://www.onemanga.com/Mahou_Sensei_Negima%21/129/10/

[kaverinebonhands]

the photo I think was taken before Takamichi even joined the red wing, and here is my newest sprite:
http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/8113/negikundo1.png

also when the photo was taken, Nagi Springfield would have been 15 years old, whereas now he would be 35 years old, as the photo was taken 20 years ago. Takamichi is younger than Nagi in the flashbacks, Nagi looks about twenty-something, and Tak looks about 17-18

[ChaoRin019]

so you say 3 yr difference in age? in chao tournament nagi about 25 yr old before missing. takahata flashback old master dying and look about 15 yr old.
takahata could have just look like brat.
then fate should be old man if it him.

shouldnt sprites go in art or game forum

[Darkreaper70]

i think its fate because it resembles their face outlines. takahata probably isn't even with red wings yet or probably not even alive. just because they look young doesnt mean they arent old. take asuna for instance. she was like what? 5-7 when nagi found her. then when she started growing up, thats what? another 10 years? then shouldnt she be 16 or 17? another one is eva. she is undying

[ChaoRin019]

asuna bad example. she most stupid in class. not impossible she flunk. then again age dont matter in 3-a. mana seem she can be in high school. better if photo was colored. takahata havent seen red wings since nagi disappeared. also told negi his master was on the right. how he know that if he wasnt in it?

[tsunade666]

I have been gone for a while and the theory of fate being a red wings is reborn.
some in the 3 - A can't be considered middle school anymore. Their bust size is not for middle school level :D :D remember the comment of anya (but forget this its a crap comment)

back to fate being a member of the red wings and his age. Eva did say his not a normal guy maybe a construct but if his a member of the red wings. Eva must have heard of him and the whole magic world must have know him.
And also the guy next to Gateau/Gatou has a high chances that his takamichi maybe not just high its him. his like a brat in that picture. maybe around negi's age or a little more older. And if the Eishun's picture is taken in the time after the magic war 20 years before and takamichi is not there. But when they rescue asuna the members of the red wings present is Eishun and Al(maybe Gateau is out training takahata or something).
But the little boy and vandenverged (the guy with sword not sure of the spelling) are not around in the flashback of asuna's memory (kinda confusing) but in a scene in the series(not sure where I think its around when takahata dump asuna) (I think its from al not sure either) when he say that its a good idea to entrust asuna to you not sure thoguh he said other names than Gatou.

[Darkreaper70]

asuna bad example. she most stupid in class. not impossible she flunk. then again age dont matter in 3-a. mana seem she can be in high school. better if photo was colored. takahata havent seen red wings since nagi disappeared. also told negi his master was on the right. how he know that if he wasnt in it?

your so stupid. mahora academy is an escalator school. do you know what that is? it means even if you fail you still go up a grade. so even if asuna is stupid(which she isnt, she just doesnt feel like doing work, meaning she's lazy when it comes to school) she will still graduate with everyone

[methaniel]

I don't think Asuna is older than she looks, she realy is 14 (or 15, don' t remember), she didn't came to Mahora at the beginning of her scolarity (we see this when Ayaka remember of her entrance). Nagi must have rescue her when she was 5-7, and after that seems like the events speeded up (with the death of ... hmuh the master of Takamichi, and Nagi missing) and she went to school with Takamichi

[Darkreaper70]

It should also be noted that as of Chapter 169 Asuna's true age has come into question. Albireo, in one of Asuna's dreams, says that, like himself, her age can not be determined by her appearance alone. Also Asuna is shown to have taken part in a battle that, although yet to be dated or named as such, appears to have happened during the Magical wars, which took place 20 years ago. Given this new information, some have estimated her real age to be probably 27-32 years, close to the same age as Nagi would be.

[Magister Magi 13]

I still doubt that Asuna real age is 15. I mean the mage war is 20 years ago and she was already around being rescued by the Ala Ruba. So she should be older than 20 by now, but of course she's forgotten the whole thing since gotten her memory erased by Takamichi by the order of Gateau.

[callibretto]

now that I think about it, how did Takamichi erase Asuna's memory, shouldn't Asuna be immuned to memory erasing magic?

I also think Asuna's older than 15, probably whatever Takamichi do to her is what make her ages like a normal person

[Darkreaper70]

its assumed that she is only immune to external magic meaning magic that deals on the outside of her body. or maybe she just plain forgot about her past. or she chose to forget about her past by herself and just live life normally. <-- i doubt it

[Magister Magi 13]

But it still raise the question. In the first chapter when Asuna found out about Negi is a mage, he also try to erase her memory but failed to do so only but to blown her clothes off. Pretty strange how Takamichi does it, isn't it?

Suzumiya Haruhi: Now that a mystery itself. SOS-dan move out! (A joke from my avatar when I post this)

[Darkreaper70]

well negi is also inexperienced with magic at that time so, it might have been a failure on his part as well

[Excel-Kleinwald]

Takamichi isn't a mage though, he doesn't really use "spells"

[ChaoRin019]

magic nullification activate when spell put in danger or negative effect on magic canceler. if good then magic cancel wont activate right? and takahata is mage since he have magic ability just use it different way.

[Excel-Kleinwald]

He's said himself he wasn't a mage, he can just channel the magic power into other forms. Just not spells. Which is what mages use. :P

[Darkreaper70]

right, takahata has magic power but he cant cast spells

[ChaoRin019]

no 197 yet. raw 198 coming soon.
want to see yuna makie.

[xingese_alchemist]

jw, is there at least a translation for 197 somewhere?

[ChaoRin019]

yay 197 out on www.aquastar-anime.net (http://www.aquastar-anime.net)
raw might be out 2night

[xingese_alchemist]

sweet. thanks for the notice. lol, are there spoilers for 198 since it seems spoilers are beginning to show up? or is it almost out already xD

[ChaoRin019]

raws come usually wednesday so tomorrow?
download speed seem slow though.

[Darkreaper70]

yes its out and heres a little spoiler

it looks like the big guy from red wings aka nagi's team has appeared or so it looks like him

[ChaoRin019]

chapter 197 summary
makie yuna at tempa terra. they work at store. customers (seems like perverts) on good terms with them. term veteres mean people from old or normal world, mundus vetus means the normal world. customers tell the 2 they might not be able to return to normal world for years. negi disguised as nagi tell both that he waiting at the tournament. negi group chat and reuse old club name as all say "negima club, fight". 14th match begin. win with one hit. sword guy compliments negi strong even though he still brat.
i think giant sword guy might be contestant of tournament rather than the owner.
also chachamaru 10 yr old so kawaii.

[ChaoRin019]

raw 198 just came out.
http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22819
negi meets with hood man at last. negi fight with opponent what look like
takane shadow henchmen (opponent could talk). negi losing too opponent.
natsumi inform ako + akira what going on.

[tsunade666]

well his not totally beat up.when he started to realize something or when he stop for a moment after been hit many times he started dodging it even the friend of nagi is complimenting him(I think) The shadow summon might be the work of fates's henchmen.It might be the one that nagase fought with.
The chapter 198 is another awesome chapters. More battle and all .

[hmin82]

got to wait another week for the scanlation (since the newest scanlated chapter was just released yesterday) lol
Btw, the newest Del Rey release of Negima Vol 16 will be released very soon, can't wait to own that
On a side note, I do not like the ominbus release from Del Rey of Negima Vol 1-3 (they really should have considered using a bigger paper since the page is the same size as a regular manga, I have a crack right in the middle because of the page being so cramped together...why couldn't Del Rey be smart enough like ADV and use a bigger paper size)

[Spade]

We might get quicker releases if Negima wins the Franky-House Poll (http://www.franky-house.com/). They are pretty good. Currently, Mx0 is in the lead, which is also not bad (considering Ossu's weird "OM and others must delay releases" policy)...

[Darkreaper70]

if only some people didnt piss off F-O (scanlator) we would have speedy releases but because of ungrateful people he quit

[j0wjow]

aw. thats too bad. im still @ 197.
anyway, awesome answer from keitaro

"finishing move!" *twinkle*
LOL

[Magister Magi 13]

I have been wondering for a lond time now, why did F-O quit? What in the world happen? Can somebody tell me?

[Darkreaper70]

keitaro? you mean kotaro. keitaro is in Love Hina.

F-O quit because people said that his releases sucked and that AQS was better, but his releases are always readable and are usually out 2-3 days after the raws come out

[Magister Magi 13]

I think it's the opposite. F-O is deffinately better than AQS. Quicker and easier to read.

[xingese_alchemist]

(doesnt F-O not exist anymore? or is that a different scan group completely? meh.) oops, you answered above. hehe. yea, i thought F-O was pretty good. especially with speed.

hm. it looks like this chapter is setting up for something big. not too much action in this chapter, but it appears like negi is slowly moving the chess pieces around.

btw, this is the second time i'm getting redirected to another manga. somehow, one link brought me to inuyasha, another to a shoujo... and it's a different computer this time... (first time was with mx0 67)

is this happening to anyone else?

[callibretto]

the raws for c198 look great, can't wait until it get scanlated. no idea what's happening though

[methaniel]

Same for me, I try to understand by looking at how they react but that's not it (I want to know why does he think of Asuna!)

[hmin82]

I hope another group picks up Negima (I am hoping for Franky, but at the current poll results it ain't happening). F-O scans were readable...the scans were faded, AQS release are ok, of course the best release was from Mahora (but they quit after 3 volumes)

[Darkreaper70]

actually the best is Del-Rey only because they take like 6 months to release one volume and each volume has approximately 6 or 7 chapters

[hmin82]

actually, Del Rey tends to release within 3-4 month span for Negima (which is not bad at all)

there are more than 7 chapters per volume 7 * ~18 = 126 pages only (each volume consists of at least ~200 pages) so ~10 chapters per volume

[ChaoRin019]

AQS translation quality is best. release is bit below average.
FO Scan is ok.
worst is MEOW scans. idiot cant decipher or tell difference between negi & nagi.
in kyoto arc in MEOW Scans eishun said negi comrades or something. it should be
nagi comrade. obvious negi wasnt born yet. should get onemanga to reupload so all
chapters from 175 to beginning from AQS.

[bbtmaniac]

random question:

which chapter is the one where sayo (the ghost) is seen spinning a pencil? (or pen)

it was during one of the breaks, i just cant seem to find or remember which one. I didn't think it was the summer break since at that point she is already always with asukura (i think...)

[tsunade666]

I don't quite understand your question?
are you referring into a scene where ayo is spinning a pen?

about the scans the AQS is the best for me but the release is slow its taking them almost one week to release. The release time is almost the release time of the raw.
I like the F-O scans their scans are fast and readable but the quality are rather lower than AQS but like I care as long as I can read it :D :D :D

[Magister Magi 13]

AQS could have donw better if being quicker, I mean seriously they were working only on one serie and they just perposely working slow. It pisses me off!

The time when Sayo sit in the classroom alone and spinning her pencil (she pretty good at it probably because she'd been doing it for 60 years) is in chapter 175 the very first page. It's the beginning of the summer vacation. The chapter shows what are the 3-A people doing right now.

[hmin82]

well, AQS are fansubbers as well that could be the fact that they are releasing Negima slow

[Darkreaper70]

AQS like all other scanlation sites also have lives too. Its not like they can just say "oh ill do negima fast otherwise people might get angry" its their choice whether or not they release it. When F-O scans showed up they actually stopped for a while because F-O was faster than them and the trans was correct. so they just decided to work on diffrent and other series. They also sub anime which also takes a while to get it correct and in a good quality video. So its not really their fault if they are slow. They are just taking their time to do other things in real life and other works. Its not like negima is their only one.

ah sweet! thanks a lot!

and yea, haha beign dead for 60 years would have something to do with her pro skillz

[Seraphimaurion]

People expect too much from the scanlators, remember that people also have other things to do, they just do this as a past time and help us read what they read. THEY ARE STILL PEOPLE, not machines

[ChaoRin019]

about pactio cards. only good thing about both negima anime is armor pactio cards.
since negi magic increase pactio card power increase too. is like evolving. be cool if pactio card in manga evolve to armor cards.

[methaniel]

Hmuh? I never watched the anime,what are these armor cards? And I just notice it but the pactio card of Mana is numbered 1, so I guess she was really powerfull (cause the numbers from 1 to 13 are the best, 1 the most powerfull, 13 the cycle of life/death if I remember what was said- the other numbers aren't described yet)

[Magister Magi 13]

Pactio card armor is only just the attire that the partner decided to use isn't it? Eva once download a fatasy nurse outfit for Konoka in her pactio once (can't remember now when it is) but Konoka later change back to her original.

But wouldn't be too easy if the partner can just become stronger only by changing outfits? At least a challenge is in need, I think.

[Darkreaper70]

pactio "card armor" is in Negima!? the second series of the anime.

[Tekkaman Saber]

which version of the anime do you mean because i have volumes 1,2 and 5 of the negima! magster Negi Magi series and i haven't saw them mention armour cards yet i was disapointed that kotaro wasn't in the show as well.

EDIT oh sorry i didn't see you mention that it was in the second series that hasn't been bought over here yet so i haven't watched it.

[Darkreaper70]

its also the anime not the manga

[Tekkaman Saber]

Sorry I meant the dvd's not the manga I guess i should of been more clear than what i meant by volume because that can apply to both a dvd and a manga.

its armor pactio cards from negima?! 2nd anime
there 3 type armor, cosplay, suka known as neo-pactio.
Upon creation, 3 card types are created for Pactio Invokation:
Suka: Similar to the botched card, this card ends up turning the Ministra into a deformed character in an animal costume, where they can do little or nothing to assist the mage. In many cases, the animal they become expresses a certain attribute or connection regarding that student. This form also mentally regresses the Ministra into a child for the duration of the transformation.
Cosplay: The Ministra gains a special costume and ability for assistance. While not the most powerful of cards, there are skill advantages in this transformation.
Armor (sometimes called Rare): Equated to the Temporary Pactio of the manga, the Ministra gains a special costume and weapon or ability that enhances them and allows for battle.

[Magister Magi 13]

I don't know the detail very well, since I still haven't watch negima!?-neo. Because after watch the first season I'm not bothered to watch the second one anymore. BLOODY CRAP!!!

Is it actually any better than the first one?

[Darkreaper70]

no, dont bother

[ChaoRin019]

no, both weak. anime adaptation for manga is no good.
only liking pactio system since it adding excitement to story of manga. design look cool too.
it better if instead of armor cosplay suka cards should be armor cosplay and current negima card from manga.

here link for 3-a armor pactio cards (negi, nekane, anya have unofficial armor cards)
http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/ChaoRin019/Negima/Armor%20Pactio%20Cards/

[Magister Magi 13]

The Pactio card is totally different from the one in the manga! WTH!! They can do a better job than that in an anime. What lazy bummer! This is suppose to be a shounen serie not kodomo so don't throw in any simple childlish ideas!

[ChaoRin019]

???
so you like the armor cards.
personally like them. unique costume for each girls that match personality.
power of armor card stronger than manga pactio.

[tsunade666]

I like the armor cards of negima!? I mean look at them they are totally cute thats why I thought that the second season of negima will be good but they totatlly messed it up
I still prefer the pactio cards in the manga and the first season.
