The purpose of this thread is to discuss, critique and idolize the Voice Actor cast of Negima. The hope is that the discussion will center on their performances as professional voice actors and not on the show content (which can be discussed in the various Episode threads). Please remember this simple rule when critiquing a VA's performance or reading another forum member's critique:* Don't take it personally.
In other words, you’re free to disagree with another person’s opinion, but don’t flame them if they offer a well written and well thought out analysis that differs from your own opinion. Keep it civil.
* Voice Actors are humans.
Yes, it’s true. They’re human. Therefore, don’t just indiscriminately rip them and their work apart as if they’re inorganic objects. You don’t have to praise them non-stop, but be thoughtful in your criticism.
This thread might duplicate some discussion in the Episode threads, but it can also serve to demystify various VA roles, disseminate VA information (VA Bios, VA photos, etc) and provide cast information of various types as well as discussion about performances.

The latest Negima CD contains a bonus DVD titled "Mahoragakuen Chutobu Nyugakushiki (Entrance Ceremony)". Unfortunately, this DVD doesn't show a preview of the animation, but it does reveals the Seiyus of the highly anticipated anime. It is nice to know the seiyus of Asuna and Konoka. The CD itself is basically a four-parts drama tracks plus 4 songs. The first song is the anthem of Mahora Academy. The first drama is about Asuna who is trying to write a Love letter to Takahata sensei. Don't ask me how it goes, I am still learning japanese language.
A few comments:
- Although it has 31 female students, the story mainly involves around Negi, Asuna and Konoka. Other characters usually only get one episode turn, with exception of a few characters. It will be more like "To Heart".
- Asuna's voice meets my expectation, although I really love to see Yui Horie to play the role ( I believe that Asuna = Narusegawa Naru). However for my favourite character, Konoka, the voice sounds a bit younger/less mature that I have expected when I read the manga. It seems that Ken Akamatsu wants to potray Konoka as a cheerful and simple minded girl. Ayaka's voice in the drama needs a bit of improvement. Nodoka character is presented as a very very timid girl, she can hardly finish her sentences.
- Gee, I see Naru in Asuna, Shinobu in Nodoka and Motoko in Setsuna, it brings back the memory of Love Hina. I am waiting for this title with a great expectation.
