A live-action Negima's already been done. It's called Harry Potter.  Anyway, I'm just wondering how they're gonna get away with all the loli jokes on primetime Japanese tv. |

Hush.
The same way they always do- not making an issue out of it. |

| I totally misread that as "all-female cast" at first. I was thinking, "Wait, don't they at least need to cast Negi?" | ||||

| I'm actually pretty excited about this. It'll be interesting how they do this. I'm sure it'll be devoid of Akamatsu's fanservice and focus on a specific arc from the manga. Or make up their own. Whatever. I want to watch. I'll probably enjoy it. | ||||

| Casting 31 Japanese girls is the easy part. What's going to be hard is finding a 10 year-old Welsh kid whose fluent in Japanese! | ||||

Yeah, cause Harry Potter is totally a harem comedy. |

| After this promptly fails, I want it made an official rule that it's impossible to adapt this manga. | ||||

Well the large cast does leave little room in the budget for everything else |

Perhaps this should be listed as one of the 100 some odd rules of anime. But generally speaking I honestly think that almost any manga can have a good adaptation and I personally think that negima can have a proper adaptation but it would need a lot of input from akamatsu more along the lines of him being the director if that ever happens. |

| "He also discusses the overwhelming experience of casting 31 "3D" girls for the story's all-female class."
why does this sound so dirty? i mean it's just sound so wrong to look for 31 middle-school girls for the case plus few others.... |

| Couldn't they just cast most of AKB48? | ||||

in live action, i don't see how this could look like anything other than a Harry Potter ripoff. they should get Abingdon Boys School to do the opening.  |

| There is a young male wizard as the star. clearly its a Harry Potter rip-off.
Anyhow, I wouldn't expect a faithful adaptation with this but I'd at least like to see an episode to see what they do. |

Steven:
Yeah, but this is live-action, and they might have different standards for that. Look at how they sanitized that version of Sailor Moon. Dorcas:
Radcliffe's macking on Katie Leung would lead you to believe it's heading in that direction.  |

you simply have to look at the character design to see how this could go all sorts of wrong. granted the person will be japanese, but still... |
