Akamatsu Ken posted on his twitter as a reply to a fan, who complained the low quality of Mahou Sensei Negima! Anime Final, that “I understand your feeling, but I cannot say anything about it for now. Please give me some time.” “I believed manga author’s interference would delay the production of anime, so I supported the movie only from the outside. But I’m not sure if this attitude was right.”
According to the special comic of Negima distributed at the premiere event, the DVD of Negima Anime Final will be released in the early Spring of 2012.
Komori Hideto, the director of Hayate no Gotoku! Heaven Is a Place on Earth, posted in his twitter that “Please don’t blame Shaft and Studio Pastoral. They’ve been working very hard. The two studios are near Manglobe, so I knew the situation to some extent. I want the producer company (King Records) to care about the studios more.”
