EP. REVIEW: UQ Holder! Magister Negi Magi! 2

I think most people watching will want Kuromaru to learn that being a boy shouldn't get in the way of his obvious love for Tota.

I wanted it to go that way, too... which is why I dropped the manga as soon as I found an actual BL with a character like Kuromaru (.... with a love interest far more interesting that this protag, sorry.)

If that's how you wanted it to go then you should just stay away from Akamatsu manga entirely. Not because of a fear of BL (Fate in Negima fits that profile) but because if ALL of his manga have proven ONE thing it's that the Protag will end up with the (usually red-head) tsundere. So Kuromaru NEVER had a chance (romantically speaking) regardless of gender.

After the past couple episodes painted Karin in a rather cool light, her likability regresses significantly when she immediately equates Kuromaru's lack of junk with his gender and physically attacks him to attempt to force him to choose a female gender and enter a relationship with Tota. Not only is this a bad look for the character (confrontational as she's always been), it also comes across somewhat hypocritical, given that Karin's primary motivation is her own romantic designs on Yukihime.

highly unlikely. just because love hina's MC ended up with naru, and nagi shacked up with akira doesnt necessarily mean tota will eventually end up with yukihime. so far none of us still knows who negi ended up with if he even became close with any of the girls in his harem since its more or less obvious he have a big time older sister complex for nekane. sure yukihime is pretty much like an older sister to tota, but its doubtful he will end up with her since she's not a tsundere character unlike asuna

It was already revealed 2 months ago though...

We at least know who he "chose", and that's when I gave up on Akamatsu. Also, I don't really expect Tota to end up with Yukihime. She's NOT really a "tsundere" to HIM. I expect Touta to end up with Kirie. Who IS tsundere. Either that, or some as yet unrevealed psycho with long brownish-red hair.

Poor Kirië's immortality seems like even more of a curse when you hear her backstory.

spoiler[She was the child of neglectful parents. At the age of 4 they let her starve to death - and her immortality kicked in, taking her back in time, and she starved to death again. And again... And again... She says she can't even remember how many hundreds of times she was forced to live through the loop before she managed to work out what was happening and find a way to survive.]

Its abrupt end definitely doesn't help, as Yukihime orders Kuromaru to destroy the transmitting device. From the audience's perspective, there is zero reason to do so before Virtual Negi explains everything, and if there was some undisclosed malicious intent behind the transmission, it needs to be explained sooner rather than later.

It's called "taking liberties". They're cutting out so much stuff and changing things for the worse, it's retarded...
