OMGz this is yet another example of ANN hating on cute fanservice anime with oodles of moe girls, j/k
Episode 15 is actually one of my favorites in the series, though admittedly I'm letting emotions cloud my judgement by letting the Ayaka/Asuna flashback overshadow the "Berserker" bit and other dumb moments. And, since Ayaka is one of my favorites of the girls, that colors things even more. But still, that flashback is one of those parts where the anime works better than the manga.
I'm always looking forward to seeing what the English dub will bring out next, and the dub is one of the main reasons why the discs go in the player pretty soon after they arrive. I didn't care much for the schoolgirl commentary, though--if the VAs want everyone to know how they got into voice acting, why not badger the producers into doing 7 minute interviews to let them talk about themselves and the other series they've done? That'll spice up the "extras" section more than a faux commentary.

Heck, even I wanted to buy it because of the dub (though I haven't mainly because I'm already buying a show like that in the form of Speed Grapher).

I guess I'm the only one that couldn't stand the dub when I saw this On Demand. I'm not a big fan of mass rewrites. That, and the voices to me just made all the characters sound even more generic than the original did. As much as I loved Love Hina, I just can't really warm up to this show in either language.

i think they did a good job on the dub. one of the better ones i've seen in a while. sadly i still hate this anime . mostly becuase of the fact that negima is my favorite manga and they screwed it over when they made it into an anime. unlike the anime the manga starts off like a harem type romance comedy and then turns into a shonen series like bleach or naruto. and we all know u can't fit a series as long as naruto or bleach into just 26 episodes. so what i'm trying to say is...read the manga . its so much better

I like the manga, although it's starting to annoy me a little. I haven't seen much of the series. The animation made me turn away. From what I heard of the voice acting it sounded fine, but I hated Negi's voice. It sounds too scratchy and restrained.
