Live action Negima in the works


No joke, at least that's what the sources tell me:

How they are gonna pull it off, I will never ever know, and I am just as frightened as most of you are.

reply

It may have some of the feel of a Harry Potter movie, where Akamatsusan originally drew his inspiration from in the first place.

I'm not really frightened, just curious as to how this will turn out.

It sounds like it might be fun...

reply

Yeah, but it seems, unfilmable, I mean the fanservice and the age, how are they gonna cast 15 year old girls, and the foreign ones as well, and what about Negi? How and where are they gonna find someone to be Negi?

reply

I don't know if this is for real, but look:

i'm not into J-Drama shows.
mostly because i am not that attached to Japanese culture as much as other people.
and J-Dramas have a large tendency to really be terrible. based on acting, casting, and effects.

i will be interested in seeing how the Negima Live move turns out.
but i am basically just visualizing the worst to happen.
already the casting barely resembles but a few of the characters, then again maybe they based the casting on the girls skills.

i totally dont like the uniform. bleh. i've seen cosplay done tons better then what i have seen from picture on the official site.

I hope Asuna will say during the field trip to Kyoto, "I've had it with these motherf ucking frogs on this motherf ucking bus!"

Well, a live action Sailor Moon TV show turned out to be good so maybe a live action Negima won't be so bad.

Was it really good?

reply

Yeah, ok it's cheesy but it's really good; you'll find the show on YouTube.
