Negmia Movie Akamatsu’s Cut Confirmed

Maho Sensei Negima creator Ken Akamatsu has revealed that an extended cut of the Maho Sensei Negima: Anime Final motion picture will be released as a premium with limited edition copies of the 37th collected volume of the Negima manga on February 17. The “Negima Movie: Supervisor Ken Akamatsu’s Cut” will run 84 minutes, nearly double the length of the theatrical cut released last August. In addition to new scenes, the “Supervisor’s Cut” will feature rewritten dialogue that makes the characters seem a bit smarter.

The feature film, produced by Shaft, presents an alternate ending to the Negima story, different from the manga story ending. The movie was released as a double-feature with the Hayate no Gotoku movie. Animation studio Shaft has developed a reputation for just barely finishing its anime productions by initial release date and finishing productions for later home video release.
