A second series was announced on May 9, 2006 by Shaft and directed by Akiyuki Shinbo, the director of "Pani Poni Dash!" and "Tsukuyomi -Moon Phase-". It started airing in Japan on October 4, 2006. "Negima!?" is an alternate story with different character designs and an all new storyline, albeit with the same characters. The show also focuses more towards breaking the fourth wall, action, and comedy, and less on the original series' fanservice.
