PervisumChaos said: Your posts are actually very disrespectful towards the mangaka's work as you're trying to label the scenes as "unimportant" when you clearly don't understand what I am complaining about. Have you considered the chance that the mangaka may also agree that the scenes as "unimportant" relative to what will get animated in the rest of the series? PervisumChaos said: skipping a whole chapter and then proceeding to force chapters 2-5 (in total, a little less than ~100 pages because of credits) into a single episode is everything but good directing. It seemed very out of place and unnatural as a manga reader, although I'm sure if I hadn't read the manga, it would've seemed "normal". I can see why certain scenes are deemed too important to ignore when it is adapted, but I also wonder if it is done for a reason - meaning they decide that given the restricted length of the anime if they animate more of the early chapters, they have to sacrifice some of the later story, and yet they have to provide a climax and resolution when the series ends. Is it because of that they choose to rush the early chapters? If so, then it may not be bad directing after all. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
PervisumChaos said: I do understand that the Director is trying to rush the earlier arcs to get to the "great arcs" (though I found Magi pretty consistent the entire time, tbh), but I'd very much prefer him to smush the chapters together, but stay true to the original material instead of smush 4 chapters together, obtain the "key events" and then smush them into illogical orders and slow down the pacing to make it seem natural. Just want to say that I read the Japanese forums as well and there the fans of the original manga are vocal about the changes in the adaptation as well, so I can see the view regarding the changes is broadly shared. On the other hand, I wonder if there is a feeling that because there may not be another season, they just want to introduce most of the characters in this season if possible which means the early chapters get sacrificed, and despite the issues you mentioned at least the change managed to "make it seem natural" so that it can still be enjoyed by those who have not read the manga. |

PervisumChaos said: ahneeme said: PervisumChaos You gave the Magi manga a score of 4, what are you even complaining about the anime version for?-- Wow, thanks for telling me. I haven't updated nor checked my rankings in a very, very long time. At the time of me rating Magi the manga, I was adamant about child protagonists, which after reading Magi, actually changed my mind. I updated my rating for Magi, it's easily one of my favourite mangas at the moment. Lol I found it weird how you were defending a manga you didn't even like. Magi is definitely my favorite at the moment too and I don't like the changes as much as you but I felt the changes in this episode were not that outrageous. And I definitely liked the dungeon change |

| Sheesh, people, this is supposed to be an anime only discussion. Differences with the manga are irrelevant. Anyway, it was a nice intro to the dungeon. Hope there's still more to it, it didn't feel to dangerous to me (rhetorical question manga readers). |
on 
| I haven't read the manga, but this series so far has been pretty interesting. It should get even better later on. |
| Too much shounen shitz.... Still good..... 3/5 |
 |
| Amazing episode, even better than the first one. As a RPG player, I like dungeons and it was a nice and funny exploration. The sharif is generic, but I can already hate him. 5/5 |
 |
| What a cruel man... but anyway, cant wait for the red haired girl to join Aladdin and Ali Baba :) |
| That guy is an asshole. This felt sort of rushed, a whole dungeon in just 1 episode? That tower looked huge from the outside but from the inside it appears to be really small. It might be rushed but it didn't feel that way. The girl had a very happy moment and I want them to rescue her already. Next episode should be even better! |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Really nice episode :) Loving this show! This whole fantasy concept really entrances me, and I'm enjoying it too much for words:) One of my favorites this season~ <3 |
| I liked it but I gotta say, rushed and quite different from the manga, wondering if this means the arc with Sinbad will start soon already |
 |
| I liked this a lot :D |

| Love this chibipervert Aladin :3 |
| From that list we can see how much they love anything moe. |
 ~ IA- Aria on the Planetes ~ Vocaloid V3 voiced by LiA (Clannad Afterstory, Angel Beats! theme song singer) |
| Too rushed, i think... but nice episode anyways, i have not seen the manga so i'm a little confused, but the action was nice too |
 |
| It seems she's from Africa or someplace like Africa. And she's suppose to have sturdy legs, my ass she can walk/run on walls too! XD Curious on what Ali Baba's true story is, I can't wait for the future episodes. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Really nice episode! Looks like great adventures are ahead...many things happened and I liked how most of it was. Sharif sounds like Grimmjow, doesn't fit him at all... |

| This episode feels rushed but it was a nice episode. |
 |
| loved the action and the first dungeon, aladdin is quite the character, like a cheeky little brother! the animation is gorgeous too, liking it even more now! |
| <haven't read the manga but man, I love anime like this! Just so fun to watch. Cant wait until the chick tags a long with them! *o* |
 |
| Quite some nice development going on, I wonder what they'll find next inside that door! |
 |
| Another interesting episode, really enjoyed it. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| This episode was pretty bad too. It's too childish for my taste. 1/10, dropped. |
  |
| Personally, I loved it. Very different from the average shounen series. So far Alibaba is my favorite character, and boob boy is adorable; he really loves to cop-a-feel, even man boobs. Yuck!!! |
| lmao at dem faces... does anyone else get a boner whenever morgiana comes on screen? (no pedo) brb |
 |
| that slave master stabbing his servent makes my stomach churn |
| Sharif? (sp?) is one crazy dude. I was thinking that the same time Alibaba was. Good episode! really liking this anime so far, dont think Im going to drop it or anything it seems really interesting. |
 |
| It just wouldn't be the same if they Ali Baba didn't say "open sesame!" |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| So what I don't get, is what happened to his flute? The lord dude has it right? Anyways, I wonder what the deal with the northern tribe guy is, he seems op considering he can't die. |
 |
| You're smart Ali Babá... |

| This series looks really good, looking forward to seeing all of it. Hope that Sharif gets a good beat. Hope Morgiana joins Aladdin's group soon >.< . Dem faces are hilarious. Ending was nice too . |

| Note that the english dub of the anime butchered the pronunciation of magi. It should be pronounced as Mey-Jahy. Not mah-ghee. They pronounce ruhk perfectly however. Strange. |
 |
| Wow this episode was even better than the first. Awesome Villain in my opinion, stabbing that slave geee what a hate able guy. Also loving the OP and ending themes! |
 |
| Mmmmm Morgiana's got nice legs... Good episode. This anime is taking a little longer to get into than usual but I'm starting to like it now. 7.5/10 |
| So yeah the Lord is a dick...no shock there. Hopefully they kick his ass next episode. |
