>It seems like the moe/fanservice stuff was rapidly phased out after the school festival arc in favor of an action/adventure type plot with the occasional crotch shot.
What I heard was that after the success of Love Hina, Ken Akamatsu wanted to branch out and do a shounen battle manga. However, his publish insisted that he do another harem, since Love Hina sold so well. And so, Akamatsu made the most ridiculous harem ever: 30 girls. Then, once the series was starting to get popular he converted it into what he wanted in the first place: a shounen battle manga.

I liked the balance of comedy harem hijinks and occasional combat before they went to Mars.

The festival was the most combat I wanted, and afterwards, it was more than my preference.

With combat there was little time for characters to be enjoyably entertaining, as it'd either be too bogged down in one long fight, or the typical training to power up crap that tends to slow down so many action shounen manga.

What a crafty gook

That's pretty need actually

I think Akamatsu is probably the most intelligent manga creator in the business. Negima had story elements and spells in English, German, Japanese, Latin, Greek, Chinese and ancient Greek. Pretty fucking impressive

I read the entire thing recently so I could read UQ holder and get the references, which seems to be even more important now, considering mc's going back to Negi's time period in some flash back.

>What did you guys think about the shift in tone and genre that happened about halfway through Negima?
I was pretty content with it. While I wouldn't have minded more slice of life shenanigans, I also enjoyed the action, especially the mars stuff.

Rakan vs Negi was the pinnacle of the entire series imo

Will UQH come back this month?

>Never get discussed
Negima manga was the focal point for all of manga when it was in circulation. The anime was the thing that was never discussed especially the alternate retelling

>>145122225
WHat anime?

>>145122248

Exactly

>>145122121

One of the best battles in all manga.

>>145122248

There were so many spin offs trying to cash in on Negima, it was shameless.

Remember the Shaft adaptations?
