Sinbad just tamed the tsundere princess, why would you assume the trio are gonna fight the princess and her minions?

I'd rather not have an anime exclusive character so I hope that wasn't true.
I think it's one of the most frustrating things when some episodes were so rushed for the sake of adding anime only content. It's not like they're running out of content.
What was mentioned in the magazines is probably fake. The series was supposed to be 2 cours with the 2nd half concentrating on Alibaba and Balbadd. It seems Balbadd will end in a couple more episodes if they keep rushing things, so it won't happen.
"Sinbad will appear earlier than in the manga" Didn't happen, he appeared just like in the manga.

Those news make me remember KnB's filler character, it was also mentioned in a magazine, but we didn't see any. Same thing goes to the cast of VAs and the fake list. So I'm assuming these news are fake and we won't get a filler character. Though this adaptation will probably be 2-cour, considering how fast they're going through the chapters. My guess is that they'll animate until the end of Zagan's arc with an original ending.

OT:
A better episode than the mess of the last 3 episodes. The way they explained the economics was good. Morgiana entering on Alibaba while he's in that position was hilarious as well. Here are my hopes of this adaptation redeeming itself with the next couple of episodes.

It also seems we'll be getting a new OP in January.

Candor: Oh yes never forget. Every bit of fake Kuroko news almost sent the fandom into hysterics.

I only mentioned it because some comment above my own had put some spoilers and had bought up those rumors about Magi having an original character.

That post was here last night, but it vanished this morning.

Sad how no one noticed the financial stupidity that is very similar to the reasons today's financial systems suck and countries like Greece,Portugal,Spain etc are in such a mess.

New girl got introduced all evil and badass and then went all tsundere on our ass.

Alibaba sure managed to get himself in the most embarrassing position possible. Morgiana has seen the depths of horror. Nothing will scare her ever again.

I was pretty excited to see a new villain but as soon as she went tsundere, the first thing that came to mind, she'll probably be a bad villain.

Considering Magi is a shounen, I don't know why they wouldn think other wise.

The entire time I was watching, me and a friend were constantly making references from things in the episode to Bleach.

*look at my sig because my signature is looking at you* What are you talking about, Kougyoku is PERFECTION. Besides being a badass, her tsuntsun mode is the kawai-ist thing ever*Bows at goddess Kougyoku *

People are complaining about that they dont get all the love for Kougyoku....

Kougyoku ruined the episode for me. Also, Hanazawa Kana didn't fit her at all. Just another generic tsundere with a touch of insanity. (I don't read the manga, so I don't know if she's like that all the time or just in the presence of Sinbad.)

The plot is like...Intense and it's good and all but omg, I'm gonna spend so much time on this series...

Lol @ Exposed Alibaba scene. That was funny.

The ending is wow...Shit's gonna get real! Especially since Morgiana is getting serious about it!

Decent episode, but this was probably just all buildup for some epic stuff which I hope we'll get to see in the next episode.
I thought Kougyoku was badass, but NO she had to be a stupid tsundere when "the man himself" comes to say hi.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

I just realized how good of a show Magi really is, after the Deputy King came in and started talking about how using paper as a currency fluctuates because it really is only paper. Also how the Kou empire tricked them, ahh so much goodness in one episode!

Urgh, the first part of the episode set up for "what sacrifices or tricks will the protagonists have to make to escape this evil, brutal princess Kougyoku" and then the lame cop-out of "oh, but she's not really brutal... or evil, she's actually in love!"

Talk about Badass Decay.

Great blend of drama, combat and the odd comedy thrown in. It can be unexpectedly dark this series.

The princess is a cuteh :P Well, she is a tsundere but it seems like a normal kind of tsundere and not extremly overreacting..
And Morgiana walking in on Alibaba "checking" himself was hilarious xD at least Morgiana waited for the explanation, most of the times when something like this happens the guy only gets a beating.

That person in the beginning was rather interesting, it was funny how shy she was in the end :p but well other than that the episode was rather slow but had some interesting story development for this chapter! The room scene was pretty funny, but the end was rather disturbing! Lets see what they'll do to stop him!

Hmm, I didn't quite like this episode... It was like:
- Aladdin: Ugo, noo! I don't care about my life, here, take my energy!
- Ren (before Sindibad arrival): I will destroy you!
- Ren (after Sindibad arrival): Ooooh, you are Sindibad! Ok, I will spare you. But only for this time!
- Morgiana: What, he is turning people into slaves! That's bad! Let's fight those bad guys!
And sadly, that's pretty much all.

Main girl antagonist was good up to the point wheer she transformed to her tsundere mode which ruined all the mood.

And somewhere inbetween I wondered whether I was watching Maoyuu Maou Yusha with that unnecessary economy lecture around.

Sometimes, one can only only wonder if scriptwrites are sane people who are thinking about what characters are doing. Bad episode.

Pretty much my same thoughts, that's what I like about this anime/manga, it portrays things that are happening or could happen in real life.

On topic: The current king of Balbadd is one fkd up dude, wanting to sell the citizens of Balbadd as slaves for his own personal greed, dafuq mayn.

Interesting episode nonetheless.
