Negima! - Anime Television Series (2005)

Negima! is the original television anime series based on the manga Negima! Magister Negi Magi. Originally released on TV Tokyo, it was licensed for distribution by Funimation in North America. Not to be confused with any of the OVA, the film, the live action series, or Negima!? (which is an alternate retelling of Negima! Magister Negi Magi). 

The series has 26 episodes released on 6 disks. There seem to be several releases of the disks including the standard edition and limited editions released between 2006 and 2007 and an edition released as part of the Viridian Collection in 2008. Apparently, the Viridian Collection was an attempt by Funimation to make DVD's a little more environmentally friendly and affordable before they started coming out with the S.A.V.E. (Super Amazing Value Editions) collections.

There are also at least 3 box sets including the standard edition box set, the Viridian Collection box set, and another edition that appears to be the six standard DVD's in a special collector's box that features art from the show in two-tone maroon and gold and stores the DVD's horizontally stacked on top of each other with the spine facing up.  

The 6 disks are as follows:

Magic 101: The Basics of Magic (eps. 1-6)
Magic 201: Magic and Combat (eps. 7-10)
Magic 301: Practical Application of Magic (eps. 11-14)
Magic 401: Magical Enchantments (eps. 15-18)
Magic 501: Magic Outside the Classroom (eps. 19-22)
Magic 601: Magic and the Dark Arts (eps. 23-26)
