The action in Negima is better then Naruto and Bleach put together.

Shut the hell up.

Just got done playing Battle Slave and Strip Fighter IV.

Jeeeeesus christ.

Rough-ass Battle Slave description

Spoiler

In Battle Slave, you play as some Sagat/Abel-looking dude against up to three girls, and you beat the shit out of them. And they start bleeding and pissing themselves by the end, because of how fucking rough it is with the MMA pounding and mounting. And after you beat them, you get a round where they are on the ground crying with their arms tied behind their backs and they can’t fucking do anything, and you just beat them for a whole life-bar worth of damage as your ‘finishing move’. Then you get a ending of artwork of them crying, screaming and bleeding while being fucked by devices (I think one of them has a tennis racket stuffed up her cooter, another has a fucking drill) with different versions as it goes down. The girl with the drill winds up getting punched by fists connected to an invisible man, and I think get getting them crammed into her crotch and mouth. The girl with the tennis racket gets beat so hard she starts shitting herself, and then gets tazed unconscious.

Strip Fighter IV is awesome, though. It has this loli with some sick mixup. She has three ambiguous crossups-- Bison’s CE psycho crusher, Mai’s falling knee from KO, and Sakura’s j.mk from CvS2–, a disgusting instant overhead in that knee, you can cancel into the knee from any fucking jumpin, an invincible wakeup safe psycho crusher (costs meter though), and an air fireball that she shoots out of her ass. Every other character in that game is so garbage compared to her, except maybe the final boss. And anyone that has infintes.

The combo system in it is weird. You have ABC, and D as throw, but with the loli at least, I can’t get a link from A to B, and I never bothered with B to C since her 5b and 2b were so bad. I may not have been cancelling quickly enough. I wound up using her basic combo (2AA/A C-psycho crusher (or EX)) which worked fine, but more damage would have been better. Oh, and you can cancel specials into supers in this game, but since she had psycho-crusher motions, I wasn’t really able to use it with a pad.

Isn’t Negima about a little kid that’s a teacher? How did it become some huge action manga? Is the anime worth watching or should I just go straight to the manga?

I don’t know if you’re being sincere or not(Stabby’s response to you doesn’t help). But I’ll continue as if you weren’t joking. How long does it take until it picks up?

IIRC Nekane is not Negi’s sister. He just calls her that.

The anime is HORRIBLE and doesn’t follow the manga at ALL. Basically later on the magic aspect becomes more important so yeah, intense battles.

He was being completely sincere. First real good action arc is around volume 7, and form then on it starts to get a little more battle heavy as time goes on. further down once you see a school tournament you realize the battles are fucking EXCELLENT, and they GET MUCH BETTER TOO.

Alot of the characters are really likeable too

OK. Off I go, trudging through this harem fanservice crap until volume 7. Wait, how many chapters are in a volume?

I’ve never been clear on this. scanlations and the official del rey books alike alternate between cousin and sister.

Well he DOES call her “nee-chan” but she’s his cousin.

lol wut ce crusher

Ok I’m typing this impression as I watch the show. I’m slowly trying to catch up on the Anime I missed.

Anyway K-On 10. I thought the beginning was kind of boring as they just went over stuff we already know about Yui. Meh. Funny how the second training camp is in an even bigger house then before but kind of expected. Was hilaious when she was trying call of the big cruise liner and beach chairs.

Shows a fucking tease. Look I understand the shows a Slice of Life show first and a music show…well way the fuck away from first but man they get ready to play with a count down then skip to the end of the of the session and brag about great they sounded. Fuck you KyoAni.

Man…Sawako’s a straight perv.

Man I wish I could learn guitar that fucking fast. Shit Yui seriously.

Heh the ending was quite cute and had me grinning like a fool. I like this episode. It was really good.

After you get past the first (lame) part of Negima, it becomes a holy fuck awesome shounen.

Definitely worth it.

They actually made orchestral remixes of Haruhi songs…

They’re actually pretty damn good too.

Well, wherever the broken psycho crusher is. Except a little less broken, actually, scratch that. More like a crossover blanka ball, if it were safe on hit and whiff.

Still can’t find any infinites :frowning:

Negima isn’t that bad. I mostly quit reading because the character I cared about still hasn’t gotten her story arc.

But the fights are just decent. Just one big explosion after another, or one super-move after another, unless it is hand-to-hand stuff. Honestly, Bleach fights are basically on the same level (and honestly, probably worse, but I have a bias for Kenpachi), but Naruto has some fucking good fights, even if you don’t care how they play out story-wise.

AND, there is fanservice in Negima, but the harem is weird because Negi is oblivious and the girls just have dumb crushes. If you want good fights, read Baki the Grappler. Wanna see two men go at it while holding hankerchiefs, or fight an imaginary 200 pound praying mantis-- Baki is your series.

Defense Devil ain’t bad.

Finished watching the first season of Ghost in the Shell SAC. Definitely a good series and the Laughing Man story arc really got interesting after episode 20. Started 2nd Gig, like it so far.

naruto’s action has been looking like shit lately. also, is that a character from blazblue in your avatar? the character i am going to be maining?

Yeah, that’s Nu.

And good luck maining her, you may or may not get discouraged at her glass jaw :rofl:~

Been playing with her for the past 2-3 months :lovin:

oh , nice, thats wats up. i pre ordered the LE edition, i cant wait to finally play it.

i just watched phantom:requiem for the phantoms ep1-11 so far. its a great fucking anime, episode 10 was mad dope so far. episode 11 was a lame flash back/ re-cap type of episode, which was stupid lame

I see, never checked it before,lol

you haven’t seen nothing yet, wait for mijagi and mitsui to show up,lots of lols and a big fight.

best anime of all time

<< and the best character of any anime ever

note: so how’s the new negima! I gave up on the first one just when I realized it was so different from the manga, they also did the same with love hina, rosario + vampire and so many others like toradora? maybe. why they fucking do that, I hate it

PROTIP: Fuck anything “Negima” that isn’t the Mahou Sensei Negima manga.
