This spring special was good overall, it kept the essence of Mahou Sensei Negima! (the serie) and entertained the viewer. The storyline of this OVA is very weak, it's about Asuna getting mad at Negi and not wanting to forgive him. In order to cheer Negi up, Ayaka invites him to her secret island, and the whole class ends up tagging along. That's how they end up at the beach. The art in this episode is better than the one employed in the original serie, with more details and better shadings. The songs and sound effects are very well placed. The personality of every character isrefreshed somehow, they act according to how they were in the serie.

Just like the serie, this OVA is fun to watch. It includes ecchi scenes, a bit more explicit than in the serie, and might make you laugh a little. It can be understood even without watching the serie, since the plot is very basic and well explained, but you won't enjoy it as much since it has many comical scenes directly related to the anime.

If you already saw the anime, watch this special; it won't hurt!
