Shelf Life - Chrismukkah Givin'

Everywhere I turn it's like "WATCH Le Chevalier D'Eon!! OR DIE A PAINFUL LESS FUFILLED LIFE!!" (Or... not.) But I think this is the final nail in the coffin (why do I choose such wierd analogies when I'm jet-lagged, why?) for me to go out and watch the darn show, hopefully it will be all worth all the hype (dispite being underrated? O__o)

Didn't know you were from Boston, Bamboo. Was it just for school?

Oh Pretty Sammy. Why would they do that.

If only Negima had very little fanservice or no fanservice at all, the series would actually be much better. I watched two volumes of the orginal Negima, but just couldn't get into the series. The English dub was fantastic, Greg Ayres really did a good job.

The fanservice is what made me stop watching the show and stopped buying the manga. Though the fanservice in the manga was ten times worse.

No recommendation for the guy who can't stop obsessing over giant robots?

So, as the story goes, enough people (including Ken Akamatsu(sp), by rumor) disliked the anime version of Negima! so much that the rights to the IP got relicensed to another company that remade the series from the beginning. That version is called Negima!? and releases in R1 in mid-January. From what I hear, it is more about the comedy and plot and less about showing girls naked.

In fairness to the manga, as it goes along the really creepy fanservice begins to subside and the very neat plotlines become more prevalent. The fanservice never goes away, but it does go down by quite a bit--with the occasional unfortunate revival here and there (it is written by Ken Akamatsu, after all). ;)

If Negima!? really doesn't have as much fanservice as the manga or original series, I might check this series out. In all fairness,when I initially started buying Negima (the manga) four years ago, I knew the series would have the same fanservice Love Hina and A.L. Love you had.

The manga in itself was well made, but the fanservice made me eventually lose all interest and quit reading the series all together. If Negima!? doesn't have as much fanservice or hopefully very little, I'll check the series out when Negima!? is licensed.

I think that I will also check out Negima!? whenever it gets released over here. At least, it sounds more enjoyable than Negima!

I must say (I don't really have to, but I will anyway), Negima! was great if you liked that sort of thing, but if you wanted something more along the lines of a single, straight plotline, then your more or less out of luck. I finished it, but that was because it felt really fast.

Uh oh...while I own some of the good series on the list, I didn't get them for anyone else. Instead, someone is going to be getting Kamichu! Hopefully, I haven't ruined Christmas.

Someone was mentioning anime making for a pricey gift - always check out Rightstuf. They had their Christmas sale, and...well, I had promised myself and my boyfriend that I wouldn't buy any DVDs until February...thanks to that sale, I am now a dishonourable person. A dishonourable person who is now 6 full series (with artboxes!) richer. It was worth it.

Shinchan made the list, BOOSH!

Is "BOOSH!" a cry of joy, or one of dread? Because it sounds similar to "Busch," as in "that's Busch league," But I think this smiley would suit that meaning better.
