came and set fire to your shed. |

There's a part of me that feels the need to apologise
for introducing another three characters when
we're only up to strip five. The strip was always going
to have a large cast - indeed, that was one of the ideas
that sparked the comic, that it should be about a whole
community of Amazons - but I'm aware the
character-to-content ratio may be a little startling to
new readers right now. On the other hand, there's a part
of me that thinks: "Well, Ken Akamatsu got away with
it". Indeed, Negima has a ridiculously huge
cast, most of whom were there from day one. Evidently,
these characters were designed using Akamatsu's
tried-and-tested method of drawing the only three faces
he knows, again and again, and varying the hairstyles.
Actually, the guy has already got away with far, far
worse in his career than having a few too many
characters, but I'll save my Love Hina rant for
another day...
Anyway, you'll find the strip's newest characters have
been added to my increasingly Negima-sized
Cast page. Another new addition
to the site can be found in the
Archives: Yes indeed, we now have a shiny search
engine powered by
OhNoRobot. Incidentally, like
RSSPECT, this is a
Ryan North innovation - he of the ever-wonderful
Dinosaur Comics. I
will grant you that the search engine is currently of
limited use, given the current size of the archives...
but just you wait. In a few months, all the
cool kids will be using it. Cool kids like sites about
Amazons, right? |
