I'll be as unbiase as possible.
Mahou Sensei Negima ends on Episode 26 and will start their second season on Fall 06 or 07? Someone confirm?
Anime plot have altered quite alot. But somehow the secrets of Asuna's origin is interesting. Seems like Anime version went ahead of comic version.
Overall, the story captures major occurance of comic version.
Art/graphics ::
Very 2D and minimal shadows. Artwork looks flat, but still drawn in very Ken Akamatsu style. Characters are all very cute looking, hopefully, season 2 will have better works.
Character development ::
Those who reads the Comic will understand more of each Character and background story. Somehow, Season 1 manage to chase till book 10~
There are loopholes here and there. I suppose the purpose of Anime version is just for entertainment sake?
I hope to see more in season 2.
All of them are drawn very cute oh!!!
Soundtrack/BG music/voice ::
They did fairly ok for OP and ED. But BG music is good.
Verdict :: 
Voice character no good enough leh. -

Title : Amaenaideyo!!
Official Site : http://www.vap.co.jp/amae/
Total Episodes : 1-12 (Season 1)
Satonaka Ikko is an apprentice Buddhist priest. He is sent to Saien Temple whose chief priest is his grand mother, Jotoku. What waiting for him there are severe training, purification jobs, and 6 nuns. The situation living with nuns of the same ages sounds enviable, but actually he is treated as an errand boy, and his purification skill cannot compare with theirs. However, when he has worldly desire, his power becomes stronger than anybody.
Amaenaideyo, had a good start. It's funny and cute. But storyline went weak and monotonous. As you guys see, i haven't got alot to comment about this anime. But since it's still at it's 1st Season, i hope to see more action and stronger plot in 2nd Season.
Art/graphics ::
It's quite well drawn, but not impressive. Not much angles covered. But you're into anime boobs and panty...this has alot of it.
Character development ::
Overall, it does what every anime will do. So rather normal?
Soundtrack/BG music/voice ::
Voice artiste are good and they made the anime alive!
Verdict :: -

Title : Koi Kaze (Love Wind)
Episodes
Anyone watched this anime please comment?
''The most serious of taboos--sibling love--were once a topic seen only in the realm of hentai. Learn how Koi Kaze bucks that trend in the most serious and realistic of ways.''
Koi Kaze, which literally translates as Love Wind, tells the story about an older brother named Koushirou Saeki (twenty-eight years old) and his younger sister named Nanoka Kohinata (fifteen years old), who gradually fall in love with each other.
Superficially, Koi Kaze's story sounds like it would be about a horrid, appalling, incestual relationship, but there is a bigger theme that transcends it.
As Koi Kaze's producer Yasuyuki Ueda (Haibane Renmei, Serial Experiments Lain, Niea_7) stated in his message about Koi Kaze at Geneon's Lounge, he hopes that viewers would be able to see past Koi Kaze's "more than obvious themes" and be able to "feel the irresistible feelings of being in love."
Because of the adult themes present in Koi Kaze, viewers must be mature enough to understand and cope with its controversial themes.
Koi Kaze begins with an ordinary day for Koushirou, who works at a matrimonial agency in Japan.
Recently, he broke up with his girlfriend, because she said, "There's someone else I've fallen in love with." Although he expresses indifference towards the break up, he's quite torn up inside.
On his regular commute to work, he catches a glimpse of an attractive high school girl on the train. Reflexively, he tries to ignore her, but ends up helping her because she drops her train pass as she gets off of the train.
Later that evening, he returns home, where he lives with his father.
His father reveals to him that Koushirou's younger sister will start living with them tomorrow.
By living with them, it would cut down on her commute time to the high school that she's going to attend.

The Shinigami are the gods of death, the beings who guide the souls who have been recorded into the Register of Souls to Hades the world of the dead.
