Talk:Negima!?

message: Since the characters have some difference from the original Negima - should this anime have its own list of characters?  After all, many characters are omitted - aside from Miss Shizuna and the Kyoto characters. KyuuA4 17:45, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I've watched the first episode today. And I'm surprised of the difference between the original and this one. Negima!? has a whole other feeling than the original one. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, guess I'd have to see more of it. FreakingWesley 10:26 12 Octobert 2006 (GMT+1)

There needs to be a single from their theme song. SAA! Baka Rangers!

thread_title: About the edit war going on

message: AnimeDude has been continuously adding unverified statements and opinions making the article inaccurate and doubtful.

thread_title:  About the flood-editing. 

message: The following part of the entry:
:However despite the new look from the old series and manga this series has been getting a lot more flak from critics and fans alike than when the 1st series aired. Many complaints stem from the fact that most of the characters have been redesigned to look different than from the old anime series and the manga. Most of which center around Nodoka and her new hairdo that essentially looks almost totally different than from the manga and 1st anime. there has also been complaints about her so called "Cosplay Card" that gives her a pair of reading glasses. Also for the reason that Asuna no longer has her signature heterochromia (2 different colored eyes). Many people also are complaining about it because it has nothing to do with the original Manga story line what-so-ever. Many Professional critics have complained that despite that it's a retelling of the story, the story-line itself seems to be totally incoherent and just plain not well thought out. There have even been calls for it's cancellation altogether. And there are rumors that Akamatsu may just pull his license out of the series, effectively canceling the show.
is nothing but but rubbish made up by a disgruntled fan of the series. This guy has been going across virtually every anime forum and site that covers the anime and bad mouthing it. The give away sentence is: "Most of which center around Nodoka and her new hairdo that essentially looks almost totally different than from the manga and 1st anime. there has also been complaints about her so called "Cosplay Card" that gives her a pair of reading glasses." The guy is a Nodoka fanatic and this is a perfect example of that. I thought Wikipedia was meant to be about fact, not the opinion of one nutball. Fix this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thecheesemanakin (talk • contribs).
:What are others' opinion of this?  This is what the edit war was over, right?  —Wknight94 (talk) 03:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have reported this guy to the AIV(Administrator intervention against vandalism), however, the mods at that time think that it is just a content dispute instead of vandalism and asked me to use the 3RR board instead.  However, since I am involved in the edit war, I cannot report the opposing party.  If anyone wants to carry on the job, please follow the guildlines on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism and the best template I can find on Template:TestTemplates now is the  (Not adhering to neutral point of view) template.  If anyone can post a comment 2~4 after every edit that user made, if he/she came back to reverting after the comment4 warning, the AIV page can be used.  Currently, I'd say try to unblock this page at the Wikipedia:Requests for page protection#Current requests for unprotection or the lower Current requests for significant edits to a protected page to delete the POV about angering fans and anything alike.

text: It appears no one has spoken in favor of that paragraph.  I'll remove the protection for now but please do use WP:AN3 instead of edit warring here.  If there's only one person adding that paragraph, he'll reach the revert limit quick.  Please add a 3RR warning to his talk page if he gets close to 3RR.  —Wknight94 (talk) 17:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Conjecture

message: * After the defeat of Evangeline early in the series, she is normally shown with Takahata, Shichimi, Motsu, and/or Chachamaru.  In pure Japanese fashion, they have tea and/or ramen noodles.
* The characters often find themselves in magical settings.  These are usually places virtually created by magic.  Characters can either use their own magic or defeat the enemy in order to return to their setting of origin.
* Setsuna openly acts as Konoka's protector, as opposed to one in the shadows. The Sakurazaki family has been protecting the Konoe family for generations.  Scenes from their childhood together show their long friendship; and Setsuna's behavior hints for a relationship more than friendship with Konoka.
* References of the chupacabra have been shown throughout, from the ending skits to the Chupacabra Research Group.  Even Negi himself was briefly turned into a chupacabra.  After ordering too many Chupacabra T-shirts, Asuna has been particularly obsessed with distributing them.
* Natsumi is often confused by Chizuru's words, either vocal or texted via cell phone.
* Makie is the butt of many jokes in this series, with Ayaka consistently telling her that "she fails at being Makie Sasaki".  Furthermore, she is always the abused member of the Baka Rangers during the shorts at the end of the episode.
* Unlike typical anime series, the use of eyecatches are used more frequently.  Instead of merely signifying commercial breaks, the eyecatches are sometimes used as scene and story breaks within episodes.
* Takahata is typically found eating noodles.
* The hair features of Asuna and Haruna are used.  Asuna's pigtails show her emotion. The two hair strands on top of Haruna's head are shown in close-up view whenever she arrives at a scene.
* Aside from face faults and hammerspace, the animation style momentarily switches for comic effect, ranging from realistic faces to copying certain character designs of other cartoons, such as 70s cartoons like Candy Candy.
Some of this material can be written back into paragraph form.  Not all will be used. KyuuA4 04:25, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

:The recent vandalism is just a very childish and very stupid attempt to have a legit article removed for no valid reason. This is third time the article has been protected because of some vandal wanted it removed just because he/she didn't like it. - 上村七美 | talk 10:00, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Baka Rangers Endings 

message: In a running series of omake shorts, the five Bakarangers of class 3-A (Asuna, Yue, Ku-Fei, Makie, Kaede) are depicted as an actual sentai team, similar in nature to the live action series created by Toei.  In these shorts, the Bakarangers fight in a battle against evil, particularly against the dreaded menace of the evil Dr. Pooh.  However, most of the focus of the humor of these episodes revolve around the mishaps and mistreatment of Baka Pink (Makie), who always ends up at the butt of all the jokes in this series. (including having her introduction cut off, getting squashed by their mecha, and, in an attempt to actually assist her team, blowing them up with their enemy's bomb.)  One of the few moments where Baka Pink gets a moment to shine is in the creation of a special movie by the Yukihiro Group, "Yuke Yuke Baka Pink", who's preview is shown as part of one of the later omake. (yet ultimately is found not suitable for any audience as well as emphasizes the comedic rivalry between Makie and Ayaka in this rendition of the story)
