Was there anything special about him you noticed in the recent 2 episodes? sinbad is pretty cool but it feels like he will die down the road, if not only because of the blood he got hit with, but how the story is having him train alibaba and aladdin. My point is, the problem is not only about those manga-readers who want the anime to follow the manga panel to panel, but the problem is obvious, it's a composition and animation problem. There are a lot of series that get changed from the original source or rushed, but they're done smartly and way better than A-1 did them; they've adapted like 90 chapters in the anime so far while cutting and changing a lot of important things. |

| Not having read the manga, this episode was pretty horrible. Just look at what they did to Alibaba... http://i.imgur.com/CenCVGP.jpg |

Nah this "calumz" guy is just a troll who likes calling everyone who points out bad quality and comparing anime to manga "bitchez" You can find him in every Magi thread saying the same thing. |
 |
| As someone who's only watched the Anime, I enjoyed it, sure I noticed some issues with the animation & it did seem a little ..rushed but I like the feel of the story & the characters too much to not enjoy an episode (Unless it gets really reallllly horrible). I do get the "Show not sticking to the original work" issue people are having, as I've had that problem with other forms of media. What's all this about the show being only 24-26 episodes? That seems odd. This show comes across like it should be long-running. They couldn't get a decent enough ending in only a few more episodes :/ |
| >_< |
| Damnn, guess I need to take a peek at the manga although feel kinda lazy =/ |
| Keep moving forward |
| <--- another anime-only junkie who thinks the episode was fine But if the anime is indeed ending soon like with Ao no Exorcist (read: badly) then it's time to start reading the manga. Will likely skip Kassim and his nonsense though. |
| This episode contains quite a bit of material that may get PTA to raise objections lol And how come the two beast tamers in this season (Magi, Mondaiji) all have relatively unendowed chest? lol Will we see more important role played by Tiare the little girl whom Alibaba etc met at the pier? |
| 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. |
| I do enjoy the series, but I think I enjoy it more for the plot potential than what we've been given. There have been parts that I've really liked, and then other parts that I hardly even remember. Just seems to be something missing, but I'm usually quick to make quick "logical" justifications when I feel like something is off. For manga readers, how do you feel about Aladdin's character in the anime? I've seen a lot of displeasure with Alibaba's character, but not really with Aladdin, whom I feel at this point is just there. I just feel like they forgot to give him development and quality screentime and lines, aside from "oh shit boobs". His goals and wise outlook on situations don't seem to matter anymore. I get that the focus is on Alibaba and Sin(who's character leaves me with no real impression) for now, but Aladdin is also our main character, no? |

I get that the focus is on Alibaba and Sin(who's character leaves me with no real impression) for now, but Aladdin is also our main character, no? You're right about Aladdin just being there and he seems to shine the most when there's a boob scene. Aside from that he's pretty much forgettable right now. At least that's what I heard. Aladdin genuinely has fun and is quite curious about magic when he's learning it. He's also very observant about everything around him. Just how you expect a young boy to act. About Aladdin: I'll put it under a spoiler though it's not. Not a big deal but the first one is like "here, go do this and learn" and the second is more of "I want to learn tell me what I can do." See how Aladdin's motivation changes a little? You're right though this part is not Aladdin-centric and he doesn't do all that much yet so that's why people don't complain about it. |
| ^That's what I'm getting. It seems they at some point gave up on structure and using our main characters goals and desires to properly drive the plot along, in order to skim through as much story as possible. As an example, Aladdin seems to forgot about Ugo and the bond they shared. They could at least give us one serious scene with him tthinking back on their last meeting, but at this point you almost forget that it happened. |
|
AlexTheRiot said: Yeah. In the manga the reason for Aladdin getting fat was: 1. Emotional reason: Ugo, his first friend, is not there anymore, thus Aladdin started eating more during the 6-month timeskip when he was in Sindria, and 2. Aladdin doesn't use his belly's powers anymore to summon Ugo, so no calories are being burnt. Here's obese Aladdin btw:^That's what I'm getting.

But seriously, thankyou for confirming that Aladdin was going through distress over Ugo in the manga, I figured he probably would have. It seems like a huge bit of character development for him, and to just leave it out completely.. |
|
| Aladdin's goal is to figure out who he is and what his potential is as a magi. I dunno if the anime has pointed it out, but a magi is extremely rare. Aladdin's existence happens to be a weird case since not even Judal knew about him. Also it's notable that Sinbad really wants to keep him as a magi of Sindria for political reasons. A magi is also the one who chooses a king candidate and guides this person through a dungeon (except Sinbad, he managed to do this on his own). In this episode note that Hakuryuu tells that he refuse to use Judal's power and that he wants to follow Aladdin instead. Most importantly for the plot is that Aladdin is the main support of Alibaba, I mean seriously, Ali would be a depressing mess without Aladdin kicking some sense into him. Their bond is very strong e.g. whenever they are apart they are really, reeeeally longing for each other (this is much more apparent in the manga). Aladdin's wish is to guide and support Alibaba to become king and having a reliable kid who believe in him so much is the driving force for Alibaba. AlexTheRiot said: As an example, Aladdin seems to forgot about Ugo and the bond they shared.

Aladdin did remember Ugo in this episode since he still holds a grudge against princess Kougyoku. |

mikado34 said: Aladdin did remember Ugo in this episode since he still holds a grudge against princess Kougyoku. I assume you're referring to their "handshake" but that's a pretty halfhearted grudge imo. Again, Alibaba gets all the important 'inner conflict' time with his inability to accept Hakuryuu. Of course I understand that there's more to that and why showing that is important to the plot, but all we're shown of Aladdin's inner conflict is a hint that he's still 'a little pissed' but still able to make peace with the Princess. |
|
| Yes it's easily forgiven, lol Alibaba's inner conflict is a choice A1 made to add more drama. The main focus should be directed at Hakuryuu's conflicts even more. |
| ^Well gees, that just makes it even worse. Why omit important character development to focus everything on one character? Even if it's gonna end soon, giving one character all the focus, in a story like this, is a pretty dumb idea. |
|
| After reading through all these posts, I'm glad I dropped this and happy that I'm picking up the manga. |

AlexTheRiot said: Well gees, that just makes it even worse. Why omit important character development to focus everything on one character? Even if it's gonna end soon, giving one character all the focus, in a story like this, is a pretty dumb idea. I just hope it's gonna go well next episode. Hakuryuu's character has been fine so far ;) Though I admit I'm interested in how Alibaba's conflict will be solved. |

There have been parts that I've really liked, and then other parts that I hardly even remember. Just seems to be something missing, but I'm usually quick to make quick "logical" justifications when I feel like something is off. This is exactly my feeling about Magi. The character development and coherent plot aren't quite there, but it always feels like it could turn into something more, which is why I keep watching. I still mildly enjoy this, but it really is a shame that we're apparently getting something much inferior to the manga. I usually watch the anime of a series, and then move on to the manga from where the anime left off, but due to the plot differences that people mention, it probably can't happen with Magi. Which is a shame, because I find it harder to marathon a manga from the start while sitting at a computer desk than to marathon an anime from the start. I'd love a reboot, but that's probably not happening for a long time, if ever. |
Shih said: Only 5 or 6 episodes left(?) Looks like the Ao no Exorcist tragic might happen again(?) I hope not I liked Ao No Excorist the ending killed the series for me so they made a movie to make up for it. But I don't want the same thing to happen to Magi. |
 |
| I didn't read the manga, but I got a feeling that Hakuryuu's gonna be my favorite character in this series :) |
| Dropped. |
| Whoa. Can't wait to see the new djinn. Finally another dungeon! |

ShyningAbys said: Is we weren't sure the anime will have a anime only ending this episode pretty much confirmed it.Probably the most disappointing episode in the history of anime for me.Rushed ,skipped relevant content,skipped character development,fucked up the time-line,everything that they could do wrong they did in this episode.And the person in charge of the soundtracks should be fired 1-2 song actually fit the anime the rest are random and added at random moments. I haven't read the manga to know how better or worse this is(it does feel very rush though even if you don't know the manga) but i have to agree with the second line. I'm someone that never pays much attentions to the soundtrack and just gets absorbed in the what he sees and as long as it doesn't make me notice it i consider it good enough cause all i want from the soundtrack is to help my immersion while going unnoticed. Yet in this anime i find my self noticing some weird music playing all the time and thinking "wtf is that sound?". |
Darklight0303 said: They were better off ending everything after Balbadd instead of pulling these cuts. Pretty much this. This episode was rushed, didn't make much sense and the animation is starting to go down the drain as well... I hate anime adaptions that start making things up/stop following the manga as they go along. Too many manga get botched up anime adaptions nowadays- If it's not broken, don't fix it. |

Well this is one hell of a disappointment... |
 |
| Haven't read the manga, still think it's quite a shitty anime. The only reason I'm still watching it is because I'm already this far in and it would be a shame to stop watching now. But it's boring, slow, character progress is especially slow, characters aren't even that interesting to start with. I dunno about the manga 'cause I rarely ever read manga but I expected so much more from the anime. Meeeh. ;c |
| Great! 5/5. |
 |
| The manga must be absolutely awesome. I'm enjoying this series quite a bit and almost everyone who's read the manga thinks it's an absolute mess. I'll have to read that manga soon. I was wrong about the Kou prince. He seems quite allright actually. |

| Lol. I love the part when Hakuryuu was crying ^^ He's so cute. :D |
| wcwn as a person that hasn't read the manga the pacing and stuff felt so rushed this episode and it doesn't surprise me one bit that they have messed with the storyline...... shame really up until this arc i was enjoying this! |
