UQ Holder! (Anime Remake)

UQ Holder!, also known as "UQ Holder! ~Negima! Magister Negi Magi 2~", is an anime adaptation based on the manga series of the same name and also an anime remake of the original 2017 anime adaptation. It's the sequel of Mahou Sensei Negima! anime remake.
Unlike the original 2017 anime adaptation, where it adapted the first 14 volumes of the original manga with some changes to the story and totally skipped two major story arcs, this anime remake follows the manga more faithfully and adapted the entire 28 manga volumes without rushing.

==Trivia==
*Like the prequel remake, majority of the original Japanese cast from previous adaptation reprised their roles rather than going with full recast. The only exception are Shaba Gyurei with Kenji Nomura replaced Hideyuki Umezu due to the latter had passed away at May 17, 2024.
*The anime remake has expanded the final arc to made the story less rushed and explained some of the plot holes introduced in the same arc, as the author Ken Akamatsu completely focus on his political career and doesn't have enough time to concluded the manga properly before he joined the Liberal Democratic Party on July 2022.
