Wow, it's been a long time since I've last read the manga (never got chance to finish reading it), and it's been almost many years since I've last watch the anime. I'm happy to see Akamatsu came out with this artwork to celebrate the anniversary, both Negima and Love Hina are the one that got me dive deep into the anime rabbit-hole when I became a new fan back in 2006.

Maybe it's time for his anime to receive remakes.

Negima already got a reboot back in the day. It'd be nice to see one that actually has the fanservice from the manga. But I think Akamatasu is busy with politics these days.

It remains almost astonishing how Akamatsu ever got so popular when his art is bland to the point of generic and he has no talent for writing whatsoever.

Yeah, I highly doubt that'll happen, Negima already had 2 different anime adaptation, I don't think a remake or another anime adaptation is needed. Negima already has it's run, and I don't see any potential interest of reviving this series. So yeah, don't expect any anime adaptation of it anytime soon.

22 years.. damn I'm getting old..

Not sure if I ever finished Negima, I didn't think it held up to his previous works.. of AI Love you or Love Hina. Never bothered with the spin off.

Love Hina is still one of my favorites, should dig that out again and give it a reread.

On behalf of all his fans, I'm sorry we don't have your enlightened taste in art.
