spottoNegima might be ending soon. I'm not sure. I don't even know if it will be or not because I cannot tell.
I haven't been able to comprehend anything that's been happening in the manga lately. So many plot points, so many twists, so many big-damn-heroes moments...everyone being revived (including the bad guys) and all that...the ending of the Magic World super-arc was really really...well, not necessarily disappointing. I wasn't disappointed because to feel that way you need to be excited to begin with, and my enthusiasm for Negima died off in the middle of the entire arc because I found it too complicated, boring, and ridiculous to care. It kind of sucks to care about any character within that manga not named Negi or the few main girls attached to him. Thirty-one girls in a classroom and a 10-year-old teacher...that premise, I always wondered: how the hell would he handle such a huge amount of characters? It was inevitable some will end up less developed than others.
But then a time-skip happened...5 months to be exact...straight to graduation.
I wasn't expecting that. Not only that but he opens up his class-roster, and tons more notes showed up. All these notes detail events that were never shown in the manga, new things we simply skipped over but were ripe for storytelling. More information on lesser-known characters, on characters we've been yearning the background to for forever, including Sayo. For all we know it's all been skipped.
Really?
Even if we somehow touch upon those later, Asuna is being sucked up away from the story for a hundred years...and she's kind of important to the plot. Then again we spent like a hundred and so chapters with her not in the manga so it might not be the same, but...everything just feels so contrived... I know I gave up on the story a long time ago, but I always had the hope, I always came back to catch up just to see...Will they give us some backstory to some of the other characters, particularly those I'm interested in? I've always wanted to see that, but it doesn't look like it'll come to be.
If this is the end of Negima...the ride was terrible, and I have no hopes for the ending either. The beginning was pretty awesome, but that's all I enjoyed.
