Mahou Sensei Negima ‘Another World’ OAD2, Vol. 28 LE release!
It’s that time again! Released alongside the special edition of volume 28 of Ken Akamatsu’s contemporary manga masterpiece, Mahou Sensei Negima, comes the second OAD episode in the ‘Another World’ series, unleashing a massive shockwave of ecchi and awesome. At the moment I type this, the raw isn’t yet widely available, but investigating the comments and pictures shared by fans and proud owners of the new release reveals a good picture of what to expect, and gives a good look at all the sexy extras crammed into the package.
The pictures used in this post were obtained from the sites listed at the bottom of this page.
The primary attraction of this release is the next installment in the anime adaptation of Negima we’ve always wanted! Okay, maybe not the animated Negima we’ve dreamed of, but this new slew of OADs being released by SHAFT far outshine all previous attempts at converting Akamatsu’s fantastic manga, in both quality and faithfulness. This OAD episode clearly continues on right where the last one left off – Negi and the rest of his posse have been separated and disparately strewn across the vast Magical World after their gateport clash with villain, Fate Averuncus. It would appear that this episode only manages to cover the stories of Chachamaru and Chiisame fending for themselves in the fantasy wilderness and eventually being reunited with Negi.
A lot of people are a bit worried about the fact that the OAD is going so slowly, and I have to admit that it’s kind of unusual that they spent so much time working on fairly unimportant chapters such as these when there’s so many more chapters to plow through before they catch up to the manga. But luckily, I really, really enjoyed these chapters from the manga. Having the girls isolated from their leader and champion was a new experience. Especially in the case of Chiisame, where you really got a feel for her vulnerability as a regular human thrown into this dangerous new world. My main disappointment rests with the fact that they didn’t include the lovely Setsuna/Asuna bathing scene, which was simultaneously hot and cute in the way it showed their friendship. That’s for next time I guess (OR ELESE!).
The thing that no one should be complaining about is the fact that they kept in the fap-worthy fanservice from the manga totally unaltered or uncensored!! KITTA!! We get some awesomely dirty tentacle rape for poor Chiisame-san (she just wanted a normal net-idol life and now she’s been violated by a slimy fantasy creature ;_;), and the first extra-erotic “charging” scene between Negi and Chachamaru. The orgasmic charging session looks pretty exciting, although Chachamaru saves up her greatest climax for pactio foreplay later on. I think Negi needs to charge up some of the other girls, if you know what I mean. Chachamaru is probably the only sexually satisfied character in the whole manga!
As before the disc comes with an audio commentary, and also features some neat character design art, shown below.
Per tradition, the limited edition release of the manga has received an enticing erotic upgrade. As far as I’m concerned, nothing can beat the sheer nosebleed-inducing hotness of the Setsuna-stripping that graced the civer of volume 25, but this is also kind of nice. I’ll never say no to Yue fanservice.
This time the packaging is hotter than ever though, featuring a swimsuit-clad Setsuna and Konoka in a shy and super erotic pose! ❤❤
The bonus rare item this time is a nice-quality Negi card that will be part of a set of 27 pactio cards:
Overall, it seems that Ken Akamatsu and his publishers/marketers have really been doing their fans justice with these OAD and limited edition releases. Not many manga get great releases such as these. As for the content of the OAD, I’ll have to wait a bit longer before I can truly judge, but it looks to be a wholesome intake of win that should satisfy most fanboys! The timing of this release was also good because it will help keep the enthusiasm flowing as Ken Akamatsu takes an unprecedented several-week break. But there’s also some bad news. Apparently we’ll be waiting till May next year before the next OAD. May! COME ON …
And I still wish Del-Ray would get their game on and help captivate their American audiences with extras and releases like this. I am damned positive that a good number of Negima fans, including me, would pay extra for limited edition goodness.

Oh man that’s awesome! I didn’t know they were releasing DVD’s with the books. I’m guessing though that it’s only for the Japanese release.
I’ve purchased every single volume that has come to the States. I always liked that they added bonus material in the back of the book (fan art, character design, etc) but it seems like the Japanese are getting a lot more. heh I want those OAD’s!
Oh~! that tentacle reape scene is looking very very good there! I think I’m starting to like Chisame ALOT more, can’t wait to see it animated and this is looking to be the ecchi-est of any Negima episode from any series ever!!!
But I too am worried about the pacing, it’s episode 2(out of four episodes)and we’re still stuck in volume 21, I think they should’ve shorted scenes a bit, like Ala Alba seemed to do, and maybe skip over some things.
The art seems much better than the previous episode though.
Just a little correction ,The second episode comes out in February, AND the third one comes out in May.
CRAP! Messed up, LOL. 3rd comes out February and the 4th comes out in May.
Oh really? That’s good. I heard a bunch of people say that the next one was may, but I should have checked up on that. Thanks, that’s a relief!
The art quality looks very good, although I personally didn’t see much wrong with the last one. For an OAD this is pretty high-standard. My only problem with the art applies to all of SHAFT’s Negima work, and that is the slightly washed out and fluoro colours and tones they use. Sometimes it just doesn’t look right to me ^^
>>I’m guessing though that it’s only for the Japanese release.
yep :\
I’ve been away MUCH too long.
That TR scene does look hawt (even to a girls eyes - I love H anime though)
LOL you even have a Tentacle Rape tag now?!!? Awesome
PS Pretty Scythe is deaded now… you may need to update your link list. If you want you *can* add my new blog… mehbe?
NEVER! Well, okay maybe ..
Yeah I’d love to. Long time no see! A lot of my blogroll still reflects our bygone golden era of anime blogging! Good to see you back around though. I’ll both update and read your blog!
Ahhh our golden era… those were the days!
OK now I feel old….
I’m a bit outta touch with this season though.
>>Ahhh our golden era… those were the days!
Weren’t they just?
KT’s blog is still running (although it’s slowed to more of a crawl than anything else) and Problematic’s blog died but I still keep in touch with her via msn. She’s studying in Japan at the moment actually. Since then though I’ve basically been isolated from most other anime bloggers.
I’m not sure whether it’s an achievement or kind of sad that I’ve had this blog running for about 4 years now without stopping or slowing to a halt.
WOOT! Just finished watching the episode, pretty good, as expected, but the Tentacle scene was just… you’ve gotta watch it for yourself~! Without a doubt that scene deinately stole the show.
Wow, I’m looking forward to it~!
But here seems to be no RAWS upped to TT yet. What the hell are the RAW ‘providers’ doing?
