''Negima: The Abridged Series'' (MSNTAS for short) is an AbridgedSeries created by [=BlasterMaster1942=], [=xXNeokaXx=], and [=TheJesterking=]. It takes the 20 minute episodes of the first ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' anime and turns them into 10 minutes of reference humor, internet memes, and LampshadeHanging.

A notable part of the series is the Asakura Hour, a FourthWallMailSlot where [[{{Paparazzi}} Kazumi Asakura]] interviews members of the main cast. Questions are submitted by Website/YouTube commentors and chosen based on which ones can be made funny.

Originally hosted on [=BlasterMaster's=] channel, the series is now hosted on the series-devoted [=KazumiSexyChannel=], which can be accessed [[https://www.youtube.com/user/KazumiSexyChannel#p/u/12/fZKzpV-O2WE here.]] Unfortunately the series appears to have been [[OrphanedSeries abandoned]] in early 2013 as Facebook entries suggest that the team working on it had a falling out, with the series currently at nine episodes and seven Asakura Hours.

----
!!This series provides examples of:

* AbridgedSeries
* AbsurdPhobia: Negi is afraid to eat with a fork, because he thinks forks burned down his village.
* AcCENTUponTheWrongSylLABle: Several character names are mispronounced because of this, although it's somewhat inconsistent. Most notorious is Zazie, whose name is pronounced ''with an unneeded syllable'' ([=ZaziE=], instead of the proper [=ZAzie=]).
* AccidentalMisnaming: Takahata tends to call Asuna things like Amy, [[Anime/DevilHunterYohko Yohko]] or [[Manga/SailorMoon Serena]].
* AdaptationalVillainy: Just to name a few, Konoka's developed some [[AlphaBitch nasty tendencies]], the twins are child molesters, and Zazie terrifies the rest of the cast (with Kazumi sometimes threatening to sic her on troublemakers).
* TheAllSolvingHammer: All the spellcasters use spells from ''Literature/HarryPotter''. To be more precise, ''each'' spellcaster uses ''exactly one'' spell from ''Harry Potter'' and somehow that spell always does whatever is necessary. This is a jab at the lengthy incantation Negi always uses in the original anime. He tries to use that spell once in the abridged version, but gives up because he can't figure out how to pronounce it.
** And what's [[RuleOfFunny funnier]] is that all of the [[TheAllSolvingHammer "spells"]] used would normally just be used [[MundaneMadeAwesome for regular tasks]].
* AlphaBitch: Konoka shows elements of this.
-->'''Konoka:''' I told you nerd, the only way you'll get my beauty secrets is if you pry them from my cold, dead hands!
* ArtShift: Even though the story follows the first anime, the series repeatedly uses clips from both the second anime and the {{OVA}}s.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Chachamaru spends her free time wandering around town helping random people and kittens. It's all in preparation for a robot uprising.
* BlackComedyRape: [[spoiler:The twins' intention toward Negi at the end of Episode 9. We don't find out if they succeed.]]
* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: Done by Asakura.
* BlatantLies:
** In Episode 5, Chamo tries to explain being in Japan with a convoluted tale involving his EvilTwin, a framed murder, and [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot ermine ninjas]] (told enitrely with [[MediumBlending live-action puppets]]). Negi, being Negi, totally buys it.
** [Actual English Dub].
** Nekane's message to Negi is interrupted by police sirens. She pretends it just means her crumpets are done.
* CatchPhrase: For the first few episodes, Asuna has "Up yours, Konoka." Also, Nodoka screams "''Oh my Goddddddddd--''" with some regularity.
* CharacterDevelopment: [[OverusedRunningGag Just ask Asuna!]]
* CharacterTitle: Enforced in-series by Kazumi, with the Asakura Hour segments.
* ChekhovsGag: Negi draws a [[MemeticMutation Shoop da Whoop]] over Asuna's face in his roster in Episode 1. It shows back up in Episode 2. [[spoiler:And makes a triumphant return in Asakura Hour 5, interrupting Konoka before she can tell the audience why Asuna's eyes are two different colors.]]
* ChristmasSpecial: Had one in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQeFKJacCbE 2010]], as well as a HalloweenSpecial [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ytkzuhbxv6I the same year]]. The heavy mangling of footage needed to create them may explain why they were only a one-time thing.
* ClusterBleepBomb: Apparently, Setsuna's doujins of herself and Konoka are indescribable.
-->'''Haruna:''' I love the one where you f*** her in a *** using nothing but a ***ing vacuum cleaner, and *** *** *** *** *** *** and it turns out, [[NoodleImplement it was the gerbils all along]].
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Negi sees Eva on the roof, surrounded by her mind-controlled classmates in maid costumes.
-->'''Negi:''' Oh my god, there really IS a Mahora brothel!\\
'''Eva:''' [[VampireVords Velcome]], Negi, to your doom!\\
'''Negi:''' You! You're a pimp!\\
'''Eva:''' ''(reverts to child form)'' No, you idiot! It's me!\\
'''Negi:''' OHHH!... Evangeline, you're a pimp?!\\
'''Eva:''' [[SureLetsGoWithThat Yes... I'm a pimp]].
* CreepyMonotone: Yue.
* CreepyTwins: The Narutakis.
* DisproportionateRetribution:
** Negi opens Episode 2 by trying to KILL Asuna after she sees him performing magic.
** The punishment for revealing oneself as a wizard is to be turned into a weasel ''and fed to a pack of hungry wolves''.
* TheDitz:
** Takahata. When Negi reads his mind, his thoughts can be easily summed up in four words: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDU0CTDMk2g DO YOU LIKE WAFFLES?]]
** Konoka and Sakurako also seem to have elements of this.
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Anya has it bad. Ku Fei has a milder case as part of her stereotypical Chinese accent.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Konoka may be a ditzy AlphaBitch, but she is the only character in the cast to explicitly say that she doesn't want to sleep with Negi, because "He's like 10, you sick f[[BleepDammit ***]]s!"
* EyeScream: Negi's attempt at throwing kunai ends with one lodged in someone's eye socket off-camera.
* FailedASpotCheck:
** Neither Negi nor Chamo overhear [[spoiler:sugar-high Eva gibbering somewhere off-camera or even the bystander shouting "Oh my god, Evangeline A.K. [=McDowell=] of class 3-A is sucking that kid's blood!"]]
** Negi and Asuna also don't notice Chachamaru's detailing how all her apparently good deeds are just her gathering intelligence for the impending RobotWar.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Fuka and Fumika, though somehow they seem to be unaware of it.
-->'''Fumika:''' The twins never...\\
'''Fuka:''' ... finish each other's sentences!\\
'''Negi:''' And now you're speaking in [[ThirdPersonPerson third person...]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[{{Fanservice}} The best kind.]]
-->'''Negi:''' [[MarshmallowHell I thought I was going to suffocate in all those breasts!]]
** The next episode, as Takahata is out strolling with Eva and Chachamaru:
-->'''Takahata:''' [[LampshadeHanging This scene here]] is to imply that the lolicon vampire has some connection to the [[Literature/HarryPotter Potters]]. I mean Springfields. Foreshadowing: It's gooooood stuff!
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: During Asakura Hour 3, Asuna beats the crap out of two of the series' voice actors.
* FreudianSlipperySlope:
-->'''Asuna''': You need to help me get into Takamichi's pant... I mean, you need to hook me up with Takahata-sensei!
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Sayo, insofar as she interacts with anyone (mostly Kazumi). The Asakura Special Report on their move to [=KazumiSexyChannel=] credits her as "The Ghost Nobody Likes."
* TheGadfly: Yue, mostly to Nodoka.
* GiftedlyBad: Thousand Master's fanfiction. Specifically, his [[Franchise/OnePiece Luffy]][=/=][[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus]] [[CrackPairing slash fic.]]
-->'''Eva:''' [[FateWorseThanDeath For the love of God, just curse me already!]]
* GoingCommando:
-->'''Takahata:''' ''(to Asuna)'' Ah, Amy. Going commando again, I see.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Asuna somehow obtained panties with Takahata's face on them.
* GoshDarnItToHeck: Negi seems to alternate between "curses" like these (e.g. "Poopy!" in Episode 6) and bleeped-over profanity.
* GrammarCorrectionGag:
** In Asakura Hour 2, a poorly-spelled message asks why Takahata is so "van" (vain), to which he insistently replies that he is ''not'' a van.
** Another one in Hour 7 asks Setsuna if she plans on telling Nodoka (presumably confusing her with Konoka) how she feels.
--->'''Setsuna:''' Hey, Nodoka!\\
'''Nodoka:''' Huh? Yes?\\
''(video becomes slow-motion and romantic music plays)''\\
'''Setsuna:''' You're a nerd.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: The opening is [[SoBadItsGood very badly]] sung by the makers of the series.
* HumanoidAbomination: Zazie.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Chamo is more than willing to take advantage of Negi's trusting nature, but gets annoyed at him for not seeing through [[BitchInSheepsClothing Chachamaru]].
* HypocriticalHumor:
-->'''Asuna:''' ''(to Negi)'' ''You'' really need to learn how to control your anger!\\
'''Asuna:''' Konoka, that's awful! Trying to sleep with a teacher who's nowhere near your age?!\\
'''Haruna:''' What kind of pervert are ''you'', Nodoka?
* IncrediblyLamePun:
-->'''Setsuna:''' What the Hell are you doing?
-->'''Mana:''' I'm... Mana-loguing! ''(RimShot)''
** Eva fills the aerial chase scenes with awful puns about flying, much to Negi's annoyance.
-->'''Negi:''' That's it, Eva! No more flights of fancy! Wingardium Leviosa!... bugger, [[GotMeDoingIt I'm doing it too]].
* InsaneTrollLogic: The justification for the boob contest in Episode 4 qualifies.
-->'''Haruna:''' Okay, so the girl with the biggest boobs gets to keep Negi-sensei.\\
'''Ayaka:''' Exactly!... [[FlatWhat Wait, what?!]]\\
'''Yue:''' Makes sense to me.\\
'''Ayaka:''' [[LampshadeHanging How the hell did we come to this conclusion?!]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Kazumi mainly sees her newscasts as a chance to hog the spotlight.
* {{Keet}}: Makie, [[{{Flanderization}} to the point that she sounds like one of the Chipmunks]] ''sped up''.
* MadScientist: Hakase is now, ahem, ''cartoonishly'' stereotypical, complete with a [[HerrDoktor thick German accent]] and obsession with blowing stuff up and conquering the world.
* MoodWhiplash: In Hour 6, [[spoiler:the final question to Nodoka asks if [[Manga/DeathNote she's ever written names into her Artifact]], and [[SchmuckBait tells her to give it a try.]] The resulting casualties are... traumatizing.]]
* NerdyNasalness: Chisame's voice is made deliberately grating this way.
* NoIndoorVoice: Everything out of the Dean's mouth is delivered in the tone of a half-crazed rant.
* NoodleIncident:
-->'''Asuna:''' And that's the story of why my eyes are two different colors. Now [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain let's never speak of this ever again!]]
** Also serves as a TakeThat to the first anime, which indeed never mentioned it again.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping:
** One gag involves Negi losing his British accent in a flower bed, revealing that he has a [[VocalDissonance very deep voice]].
** [[spoiler:Same goes with Eva, who normally speaks with a very thick Romanian accent. Getting kicked by Asuna causes her to slip into a very thick UsefulNotes/{{British Accent|s}}.]]
* OrphanedPunchline: A couple of times, courtesy of Yue.
-->'''Yue:''' And that's how babies are born. ''(cue grossed-out reaction from addressee)''
* OrphanedSeries: Sadly the ninth and last episode was released in January, 2013. From the Facebook page's last entry in March of 2013 and entries prior to that, it seems that the group involved has drifted apart.
* PingPongNaivete: Negi, sort of. He's generally [[OnlySaneMan the smartest and most mature person in the room]] but he's also generally ''way'' too trusting.
* PokeThePoodle: Eva pulls a couple of these in Episode 8.
-->"He tripped because I turned the lights out. Truly my revenge has begun! Ah hah hah hah!"
* PunyEarthlings: Chao seems to consider everyone else to be this.
* {{Pyromaniac}}: Episode 1 has Sakurako as this, though [[CharacterizationMarchesOn for the rest of the series]] she's just [[TheDitz sorta dumb]].
* RichBitch: Ayaka at times, especially played up in the Christmas 2010 special.
* RunningGag:
** '''"THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PLOT POINT!"'''
** Character development!
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In Episode 5, Kazumi storms off in a huff when the Asakura Hour stops being shown at the end of episodes, [[TenMinuteRetirement only to come right back]] when she learns that it's now a SpinOff.
* ShoutOut: Par for the course.
** Notably, Chachamaru's voice is a very well-done mockup of [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]].
** All of Setsuna's {{Internal Monologue}}s are {{Shout Out}}s to ''VideoGame/MaxPayne''. Mana's been doing it too, in the style of VideoGame/MetalGearSolid.
** Asuna's practically a ''gold mine'' for this. She's accused several times of being Franchise/SailorMoon in disguise, she goes into VisualNovel/{{Phoenix Wright|AceAttorney}} mode when she accuses people, and labels two of her kicks "[[MemeticMutation FALCON]] [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros KICK!!]]" and "[[Radio/TheFrantics BOOT TO THE HEAD!!]]".
** Asuna and Ayaka's constant bickering about who's best between [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Edward and Jacob.]]
--->'''Asuna:''' [[MemeticMutation What you say!]]
** "[[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Mine is the character development that will pierce the heavens]]!"
** "[[Manga/DragonBall Hakase, what does the scouter say about his character development]]?"
** Takahata and Eva urge Nodoka to come with them to [[WebAnimation/CharlieTheUnicorn Candy Mountain]].
** Asuna and Negi re-enact the beginning of the first Anime/{{Pokemon}} opening in Episode 4. Asuna's StealthHiBye and fight with Chamo in Episode 5 are also presented as Pokemon battles.
** Setsuna contemplates fleeing [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog like a blue hedgehog]] in front of Konoka. Also, this is how she concludes her first monologue:
--->'''Setsuna:''' [[Music/ThePolice (Every breath she takes... Every move she makes... I'll be watching.)]]
** Takahata has a picture of Negi represented by [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]] holding her [[BilingualBonus leek.]]
** Every single one of Negi's spells is now [[Franchise/HarryPotter Wingardium Leviosa.]] Likewise, Eva's spells are all Alohomora.
** To Manga/DeathNote:
--->'''Natsumi:''' [[MundaneMadeAwesome I will take this rose... AND EAT IT!]]
** Kaede's voice is a Shout Out to WebVideo/AskANinja.
** Episode 4 opens with a parody of Franchise/PowerRangers.
** Sliding doors sound like they're borrowed from [[Franchise/StarTrek the Enterprise]].
** ''Series/{{Batman|1966}}'', complete with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZKzpV-O2WE&t=03m55s TV Land logo.]]
** Episode 5 features two back-to-back:
--->'''Negi:''' [[WesternAnimation/BluesClues We just got a letter? I wonder who it's from.]]\\
'''Nekane:''' [[Franchise/StarWars Help me, Negi Springfield. You're my only hope.]]
** Yotsuba is the "[[Creator/FoodNetwork Chef of BAM]]." Getting angry causes her to turn into [[Series/HellsKitchen Gordon Ramsay.]]
** "[[Franchise/StarTrek She's dead, Jim.]]"
** Chachamaru uses a stray kitten "to create a [[Manga/AzumangaDaioh Chacha-coneco]]."
** "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz I just had the strangest dream...]]"
** A blink-and-you-miss-it nod to WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall, in Episode 8:
--->'''Eva:''' He has a magic gun?!\\
'''Chachamaru:''' Where'd he purchase that?
** A [[Literature/TheShining super-creepy]] one in Episode 9:
--->'''Fumika:''' Now follow us, Negi. Forever and ever and ever and ever...\\
'''Fuuka:''' ''(whispering)'' And eeeverrr...
** "I get to say something! I get to say something! ''I get to say something!''... [[WebAnimation/ASDFMovie I like trains.]]"
** Hakase offers Negi the opportunity of "[[VideoGame/Portal2 fighting an army of mantis men]]."
** "[[Music/BonJovi Shot through the heart]], and she's to blame. ... [[Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968 Damn you, Akira]]! Damn you to Hell!!!"
** The soundtrack is also heavily sprinkled with these, featuring music from ''Warauinu no Bouken'', ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', ''Film/{{Kikujiro}}'', ''Franchise/StarWars'' and ''Series/TheATeam''.
* SpinOff: The Asakura Hour started off as an end segment to the main episodes. Starting in Episode 5, it became a supplementary series that released videos alongside the main series.
* StalkerWithACrush: Setsuna's canonical BodyguardCrush on Konoka becomes this. Also, there's a few indications that Mana is stalking Setsuna, though in this case it seems more like she's [[StalkerWithoutACrush just doing it to mess with her]].
* StandardSnippet:
** Negi makes his first entrance into the classroom to "Chariots of Fire."
** The first time [[spoiler:Eva reverts to her native accent]], "Rule Britannia" starts playing.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Usually from Negi.
-->'''Negi:''' I need to go and make a LovePotion. Not a magical love potion... just a regular love potion. I am not a wizard.
* TakeThat:
** Eva rags several times on ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga''.
** Toward Music/RebeccaBlack in Episode 8.
--->"It's so bland and uninspired that it literally [[AntiMagic sucks the magic out of everything around it]]."
* TakeThatUs: The prelude to Asakura Hour 6.
-->'''Chisame:''' In early 2010, a bunch of losers without jobs decided to make an abridged series about a stupid harem manga...
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Kazumi's reaction to finding out she has to interview Konoka is just a single bleeped swear word. Followed by a RageQuit that forces the Narutakis to host the rest of the Hour.
* TooDumbToLive: Negi seems to consider this a contractual part of being the star, a trait inherited from Nagi.
--> "Because no one wants to watch an anime about a kid who calls the cops all the time. For there to be real drama, I need to have a chance of being hospitalized."
* {{Tsundere}}: Asuna, [[{{Flanderization}} purposefully turned]] up to eleven.
* TheUnintelligible:
** Makie, thanks to her chipmunk-sounding voice. Doubles with RefugeInAudacity when you manage to make out what she's saying.
** Eva when she [[spoiler:sucks Makie's blood and, with it, her blood sugar.]]
** [[spoiler:British Eva]], who doesn't so much speak English as she speaks a mishmash of British slang.
--->"You're a bloody nancy-basket whose pater left when you were a buption. You're a bobbins teacher and likely a back-tickler."
* VampireVords: Eva most of the time. She even goes "Bleh!" a couple times. [[spoiler:But she's faking it to try to make herself seem scarier.]]
* VampiresAreSexGods: It seems like Asuna believes this:
-->'''Asuna:''' Yeah. Well... Edward's Haught!\\
'''Negi:''' Asuna! Asuna, everyone is entitled to their own opinion...\\
'''Asuna:''' NOBODY BADMOUTHS VAMPIRE SEX OBJECTS!
* VocalDissonance: A lot of the girls (e.g. Kazumi, Mana) are given distinctly male voices, often very deep, gravelly and/or much older-sounding. Konoka sounds exactly like [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Cartman.]] But the prize has to go to Zazie, who, on the rare occasion that she does speak, is right [[EvilSoundsDeep down there]] with [[Film/TheFifthElement Mr. Shadow.]]
* TheVoiceless: Zazie, who actually stays in character.
* TransformationIsAFreeAction: Parodied.
-->'''Chachamaru:''' That light has been shining for five minutes now.\\
'''Eva:''' What?! How did I not see that?
* YaoiFangirl:
** Haruna was already this, but has been taken up to eleven. Going by Asakura Hour 7, she's also a YuriFan.
** Nodoka also qualifies, although she's a bit more [[CovertPervert secretive.]] The series is kind of indecisive about this, though, with a few scenes indicating she finds it traumatizing.
