Negima, Vol. 2: Magic 201 - Magic and Combat (Episodes 7-10)
Life at Mahora Academy remains as quirky as ever in the second installment of the magical comedyNegima!Ten-year-old Welsh wizard-in-training Negi Springfield tries to fulfill his duties as a homeroom teacher while alternately fighting supernatural battles and coping with schoolgirl crushes. The vampire Evangeline has vowed to destroy Negi because of the grudge she holds against his father, but the pint-sized professor won't really fight her because she's his student. This story line is put on hold after episodes 7 and 8: The remaining two adventures consist of variations on the familiar theme of girls falling for Negi and declaring their affection in a melange of American and British accents. Once again, the sight of adolescent and even high school girls fondling a prepubescent little boy is not for the squeamish. (Rated TV PG, suitable for ages 14 and older: nudity, risqué humor, cartoon violence)--Charles Solomon
