Inoue Marina, Ono Daisuke Join Negima Cast


I thought I’d just shoot out this piece of info for those not already aware – Inoue Marina and Ono Daisuke will be joining the cast of Negima for the Ala Alba OAD as Inugami Kotaro and Ku:Nel Sanders respectively, as announced at the Negima event yesterday. Since it’s the weekend, there’s no detailed coverage of the event as yet – will wait a few days and do a bumper Inoue Marina updates post then.

Negima!? Drama CD1


Setsuna is the star of this drama CD (despite her not being on the cover). There’s actually very few Konoka scenes, most of it focuses on Secchan, Negi, Asuna and Chamo.

Negima!? #19

Dear Akiyuki Shinbo;
So DVD1 topped the charts and sold some 10k copies, and I know Hidamari Sketch is your priority at the moment, but please don’t turn Negima into a playground ^^; it’s episode 19 for heaven’s sake! Where’s the story? I know it’s still oodles of fun but it’s all going nowhere…..

Negima!? 1000% BOX

I’ve spent the best part of 3 hours listening to nearly a dozen versions of 1000%SPARKING and A-LY-YA! on my iPod and I think I won’t be too bothered if I never hear some of them again…..unlike the original Negima’s Happy Material which had the singing line-ups according to their student number, these have them (roughly) in their own little groups – the cheerleaders, the Walking Club etc. I don’t know why, but for the most part the versions of 1000% SPARKING are almost always better than A-LY-YA!.

I’ll start off with the first OP/ED single.

Black Rose Baron = Nekane? (pretty obvious really >_>)

Gahaku!


Is this art, or this art?

I’d been looking for the stuff that came with the special Negima iPod – NegiPon!? which was released on Christmas Day; and some of it’s up on Youtube now.

She must have very thick skin.

Oh, and the rest of the Christmas talks with Aipon, Kanda-san, Rina and Yu (parts 2/3 feature more Gahaku goodness):

Part 2 – Konoka Love, my God. And Aipon’s Setsuna cake made me laugh.

I love a lot of the characters Yu plays; the weird (Lala Gonzalez), the wacky (Ayame Sarutobi), and the cool (Setsuna Sakurazaki) but hearing/seeing her in person is a little….. strange at times. She just seems awfully apologetic and overly polite all the time, as if her presence is causing trouble to others ;/
