Yes, Carl was awesome- plus he was played by David Wenham, who played Faramir (Mmm, Gondor Captain). I'm glad to see that I'm not the only Hellsing fan who liked Van Helsing. After all, it's just an action movie- I doubt they realized Hellsing existed.

Timothy is just adding to his adorable-ness in today's comic. "I'll clean it up! Oh... can I still go?" *big puppy eyes*

Y'know, if Timothy gets any more adorable in future strips he might become some sort of fangirl/boy black hole, or, in technical terms, an Otacomplex. Seriously, dangerously adorable. So adorable that he could cause everyone in vol. 8 of the manga to kiss and make up just by stepping out into the street. He's like a pacifism-bomb with legs.

I think I said it before but I'll say it again. Timmy is the kinda character that I wanna give a big squeeze and bake a mountian of cookies for. Soo cuddly cute

Uh, is there any significane to Tim having roughly the same complexion as Integra? Is it time to break out the completely unwarranted "OMGIntegra'slittlebrother/clone/genderswappedAUcounterpart" device?

You know what would probably make the hearts of fangirls (and a few fanboys) skip a beat? Timmy x Schroe slash.

Just a little question... I haven't seen the series yet... but wasn't "Negima!" set in a Catholic school? I do remember that Negi Springfield was a kid wizard assigned as a teacher. :-?

Hey, that isn't what Negima! is like!. That was an accident, the author may be a bit perverted but that is most out of character for Negi.

It would be interesting if that happened though.

If anime Iscariot would win with a bit of a struggle (Evangeline would be dangerous but she is a regular vampire mage, nothing Iscariot can't deal with), manga however would be a different story.

Iscariot, as much as I like them would get trounced. There is just too much in the way of insane things in the manga version of the school. There is a gunman that would give Henikal a run for her money and Yumi would probebly have an excellent fight against Setsuna but they just don't have the firepower to take on all the other characters as well. Ninja's, Mages, Ghosts, Robots, Mind-Readers, Demons and high technology.

I don't think it's that school though. They specifically have permission from the catholic church (Manga at least) to have some of those things.

No ideas what school it could be though. What school did Card Captor Sakura go to?

Now you KNOW our beloved Erin would NEVER do something that evil! :( Timothy's an OC, not a Gary Stu, after all. Eeesh. That's like saying Alucard and Shigure (from Fruits Basket) are related because they can change into dogs.

Sakura is 8 years old and in elementary school. But that doesn't stop her and Li from being adorable. :D

And a big welcome to Iscariot! ^_^ Always nice to have a new face here!

Now that i think about it Negi's school was a middle school too. I remember because the class was challenged by the highschool girls to see who would win Negi as a teacher.

I will allow HK-47 to reply to this.

Sarcasm: Yeah, yeah. That's why it happens a million times in the manga, right?

Well, Heinkel has a significant advantage in that she uses lethal bullets in contrast to Miss Gunner's air-soft stuff (although that may have been a North-Americanization to get around the issue of her dual-wielding Desert Eagles and shooting people in the head). She's probably holy enough to have magic resistance too. Setsuna has her paper doll magic, but Yumi is...well...insane...and more prone to decapitating people. Ghosts can be exorcised (and I seem to recal that the ghost is so out of practice that her hadoukens resemble gadoukens (look up "Dan" from Street Fighter if you don't get it)). Ninjas automatically take a -50 skill penalty in Japan due to their proximity to other ninja (the stormtrooper effect). Miss Bookworm would probably vomit as soon as she read their minds (although she might merely be embarassed if she read their memories of the recent fangirl saga). And demons? I think they're ready for that.

But yeah, Chachamaru's plain munchkin.

Realistically, Yumie would probably seduce Negi resulting in wacky hijinks.
What school did Card Captor Sakura go to?
The one buried in 7 feet of sakura petals, duh. Heinkel and Yumie would probably explode upon setting foot in it. Or play with Mokona. Either or.

Now, what would make this REALLY interesting would be if they were hitting CLAMP School. I mean, the whole place is a gigantic magic mandela, and everyone there has an IQ of like 6000. And you'd have to beat the CLAMP Detectives four times to defeat their kid, X, Dukalyon, and 20 Mask forms. Oh, and Mokona would destroy their souls.

Yumiko, Heinkel, and Timothy go to Tokyo Tower. The result...

FOOOOM!

On second thought I'm not so sure about who would win. Negi and his friends are powerful but yeah, Iscariot seems much more willing to kill everything. Yeah and Nodoka would probebly pass out from Yumie's thoughts at the very least.

Oh, thanks FelinaofL2 for the nice welcome. I'm a big fan of the comic but I haven't gotten around to actually posting on the forums before (even if I read them a decent amount)

Hmm...

Could the Sailor Scouts be mistaken for witches? (Edit: Never mind, not a catholic school)

It is quite possibly an original character or maybe even a mistake.

When it came time to design the OC for the end of the Catholicon storyline, I looked over the existing cast and said to myself, "Huh. 95% of the characters in this strip are white, including almost all of the OCs. Let's get a little variety in here."

So I did.

Oh, man, the CLAMP universe is a huge crazy heap of crossovers all its own. I'd love to play in it, but I'm just a little bit afraid of it ^_~

Verily. I think that, officially, CLAMP Campus Detectives crosses over with 20Mask, Dukalyon, X:1999, and I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting something. Tsubasa references pretty much everything, and Miyuki-chan shows up everywhere. EVERYWHERE.

Yeah, CLAMP is not for the faint of heart, but it is possible: Cardcaptor Sakura and xxxHolic are definitely compatible with Hellsing. MKR isn't (since Mokona is God), Chobits is set in the wrong time, and Tsubasa is on too large a scale. I'm not familiar enough with RG Veda, X, or their other series to comment.

But, if you ever want to explore magic in the Shineverse (we know it exists, since Alucard was enhanced with it), I highly recommend referencing or using Crow Reed and Yuko. (Especially Reed, since he's from England.)
