{{work}}
'''''Negima: The Abridged Series''''' (''MSNTAS'' for short) is an [[Abridged Series]] created by BlasterMaster1942, xXNeokaXx, and TheJesterking. It takes the 20 minute episodes of the first [[Mahou Sensei Negima]] anime and turns them into 10 minutes of reference humor, internet memes, and [[Lampshade Hanging]].

A notable part of the series is the Asakura Hour, a [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]] where [[Paparazzi|Kazumi Asakura]] interviews members of the main cast. Questions are submitted by [[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 [http://www.youtube.com/user/KazumiSexyChannel#p/u/12/fZKzpV-O2WE here.]

{{tropelist}}
* [[Abridged Series]]
* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]: 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).
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Konoka shows elements of this.
{{quote|'''Konoka:''' I told you nerd, you'll have my beauty secrets when you pry them from my cold, dead hands!}}
* [[Art Shift]]: Even though the story follows the first anime, the series repeatedly uses clips from both the second anime and the [[OVA|OVAs]].
* [[Blackmail Is Such an Ugly Word]]: Done by Asakura.
* [[Blatant Lies]]: In Episode 5, Chamo tries to explain being in Japan with a convoluted tale involving his [[Evil Twin]], a framed murder, and [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|ermine ninjas]] (told enitrely with [[Medium Blending|live-action puppets]]). Negi, being Negi, [[What an Idiot!|totally buys it.]]
* [[Character Development]]: [[Overused Running Gag|Just ask Asuna!]]
* [[Character Title]]: Enforced in-series by Kazumi, with the Asakura Hour segments.
* [[Chekhov's Gag]]: Negi draws a [[Memetic Mutation|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, interupting Konoka before she can tell the audience how Asuna's eyes are two different colors.}}
* [[The Ditz]]: Takahata. When Negi reads his mind, his thoughts can be easily summed up in 4 words: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDU0CTDMk2g DO YOU LIKE WAFFLES?]
** Konoka and Sakurako also seem to have elements of this.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: [[Fan Service|The best kind.]]
{{quote|'''Negi:''' [[Marshmallow Hell|I thought I was going to suffocate in all those breasts!]]}}
* [[Freudian Slippery Slope]]:
{{quote|'''Asuna''': You need to help me get into Takamichi's pants... I mean, you need to hook me up with Takahata-sensei!}}
* [[Going Commando]]:
{{quote|'''Takahata (to Asuna):''' Going commando again, I see.}}
* [[Hollywood Tone Deaf]]: The opening is [[So Bad It's Good|very badly]] sung by the makers of the series.
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: Zazie
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: The justification for the boob contest in Episode 4 qualifies.
{{quote|'''Haruna:''' Okay, and the girl with the biggest boobs gets to keep Negi-sensei.
'''Ayaka:''' Exactly!....[[Flat What|Wait, what?!]] 
'''Yue:''' Makes sense to me. 
'''Ayaka:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|How did we come to this conclusion?!]] }}
* [[It's All About Me]]: Kazumi
* [[Keet]]: Makie, [[Flanderization|to the point that she sounds like one of the Chipmunks]] ''[[Up to Eleven|sped up]]''.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: In Hour 6, {{spoiler|the final question to Nodoka asks if [[Death Note|she's ever written names into her Artifact]], and [[Schmuck Bait|tells her to give it a try.]] The resulting casualties are... traumatizing.}}
* [[Name's the Same]]: [[Shaman King|Yoh Asakura]] frequently appeared during the [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot|Asakura hour]] trying to steal the show, at least until Kazumi [[It Got Worse|sent Zazie after him.]]
* [[Noodle Incident]]:
{{quote|'''Asuna:''' And that's the story of why my eyes are two different colors. Now [[Let Us Never Speak of This Again|let's never speak of this ever again!]]}}
** Also serves as a [[Take That]] to the first anime, which indeed never mentioned it again.
* [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]: One gag involves Negi losing his British accent in a flower bed, revealing that he has a [[Vocal Dissonance|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 [[British Accent]].}}
* [[Puny Earthlings]]: Chao seems to consider everyone else to be this.
* [[Running Gag]]: '''"THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PLOT POINT!"'''
** Character development!
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: In Episode 5, Kazumi storms off in a huff when the Asakura Hour stops being shown at the end of episodes, [[Ten-Minute Retirement|only to come right back]] when she learns that it's now a [[Spin-Off]].
* [[Shout-Out]]: Par for the course, but notably, Chachamaru's voice is a very well-done mockup of [[Portal (series)|GLaDOS]].
** All of Setsuna's [[Internal Monologue|Internal Monologues]] are [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] to ''[[Max Payne (series)|Max Payne]]''. Mana's been doing it too, in the style of [[Metal Gear Solid]].
** Asuna's practically a ''gold mine'' for this. She's been accused several times of being [[Sailor Moon]] in disguise, she goes into [[Phoenix Wright]] mode when she accuses people, and has labelled two of her kicks as "[[Memetic Mutation|FALCON]] [[Super Smash Bros.|KICK!!]]" and "[[The Frantics|BOOT TO THE HEAD!!]]".
** Asuna and Ayaka's constant bickering about who's best between [[Twilight (novel)|Edward and Jacob.]]
{{quote|'''Asuna:''' [[Memetic Mutation|What you say!]]}}
** Asuna and Negi re-enact the beginning of the first [[Pokémon]] opening in episode 4.
** Setsuna contemplates fleeing [[Sonic the Hedgehog|like a blue hedgehog]] in front of Konoka. Also, this is how she concludes her first monologue:
{{quote|'''Setsuna:''' [[The Police|(Every breath she takes... Every move she makes... I'll be watching her.)]]}}
** Takahata has a picture of Negi represented by [[Vocaloid|Hatsune Miku]] holding her [[Bilingual Bonus|leek.]]
** Every single one of Negi's spells is now [[Harry Potter|Wingardium Leviosa.]]
** To [[Death Note]]:
{{quote|'''Natsumi:''' [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|I will take this rose... AND EAT IT!]]}}
** Kaede's voice is a Shout Out to [[Ask a Ninja]].
** One episode opens with a parody of [[Power Rangers]].
** Sliding doors sound like they're borrowed from [[Star Trek|the Enterprise]].
** [[Batman (TV series)|Batman]], complete with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZKzpV-O2WE&t=03m55s TV Land logo.]
* [[Spin-Off]]: The Asakura Hour started off as an end segment to the main episodes. Starting in Episode 5, it has now become a supplementary series that releases videos alongside the main series.
* [[Tsundere]]: Asuna, [[Flanderization|purposefully turned]] [[Up to Eleven|up to eleven.]]
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Usually from Negi.
* [[The Unintelligible]]: Makie, thanks to her chipmunk-sounding voice.
** Doubles with [[Refuge in Audacity]] when you manage to make out what she's saying.
** Also, British Eva, who doesn't so much speak English as she speaks a mishmash of British slang.
{{quote|'''Eva:''' You're a bloody nancy-basket whose pater left when you were a buption. You're a bobbins teacher and likely a back-tickler.}}
* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: Konoka, who sounds exactly like [[South Park|Cartman.]]
* [[The Voiceless]]: Zazie, who actually stays in character.
* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]: Haruna was already this, but has been taken [[Up to Eleven]]. Nodoka also qualifies, although she's a bit more [[Covert Pervert|secretive.]]
