Synopsis:

Set within a vibrant world where magic and technology intertwine, this collection of animated shorts follows a group of young individuals navigating a complex social landscape.

Each episode explores distinct character dynamics as they grapple with moral ambiguities and the weight of responsibility within a society built upon established power structures. The series offers a thoughtful exploration of identity, belonging, and the potential consequences of wielding extraordinary power.

Esta review también está en español. This is the second series of OVAs that faithfully adapts the Mahou Sensei Negima manga, and picks up exactly where Shiroki Tsubasa Ala Alba (STAA) left. These OVAs (and it predecessor) are targeted only to the public who read the manga (it's not enough just watching any of the first anime series), so If you didn't, you will not understand what's happening here. Story: Ala Alba (plus Anya) arrives to Wales, and, after visiting Negi's sister (cousin actually), they head straight to the door that leads to the magical world, where the plan is to get as much info as possibleabout Nagi Sprienfield.nUnfortunately, once in Mundus Magicus, everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong: not only five students outside the group ended in the magic world, but, in that exact moment, the magical gate receives a terrorist attack led by Fate Averruncus (one of the villains of the Kyoto saga) and his evil minions. The result: Negi and company end up being sent to different parts of Mundus Magicus. This is when Negi's priority changes from getting info to find where the hell his students are, and return them to Japan safe. Although the task doesn't look easy, Ala Alba's badges have trackers that Chachamaru (the only member that ended in the same place as Negi) is able to locate, so there is hope. Besides searching and searching, Negi will enroll in a fighting tournament (with the winning prize he can release a few of his students), while trying to control Magia Erebea, a dark art able to increase power in a very significant way.nThe same way STAA meant Kotaro Inugami's debut, these OVAs bring us, once and for all, the almighty Jack Rakan. Despite not having much screen time, he manages to demonstrate his insanely powers and amazing craziness. Just for this, it worth the watch.nnAnimation: Top notch, like the first part. With lot of detail and fluidity, this time we actually got various battles where the animation shines. And it couldn't be otherwise, people like Fate, Tsukiyomi, Kagetaro, Rakan and Evangeline demand great graphics ;).nAnd just as there's more action (which means, more magic, explosions, special effects -or CG, like the characters would say- and blood), there is more fan service than in the first part. It bordering hentai a few times... but classy, though.nnSound: The seiyuus of the first set of OVAs (and the first and second anime), are here, doing an excellent job again. Among the new voices, Rakan’s voice, Rikiya Koyama (Yamato in Naruto Shippuden, the second voice of Kogoro Mouri in Detective Conan) stands. As for the music, Love Drive is a song in the same line of Happy Material, that means is catchy and upbeat, with a very soft and pleasant entonation (by 3-A girls). The ending, Get Chance! is interpreted by Negi, Kotaro, Chisame, Eva, Chamo and Rakan voices, and also sounds good.nnVerdict: Like STAA, these OVAs are the best Negima things animated. This time,…
