----------------------------------------
Well, that was kinda interesting with the teamwork. Yet, this war seems a bit dragged. HOLY SHIT, did they use Season 1's OST? Awesome. I really miss it. I think the one used was this which is one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMHcb4XWXzA

Kouen might of been a bit reckless though this episode. Alibaba was awesome though and I'm glad he's using what he's learned from his training to use.

He called out everyone's jins(?) so that they can explain about that black sphere thing in that situation for him. Wow, that leader guy is scary, but is keen to know about the another world. The same dark monsters are released from the sphere. It's time for everyone to gather and fight.

Hino-san's character doesn't have much action (more of explanation guy). Somehow the whole scene when that guy fight and "call" Alibaba" to fight along to shorten the time makes me laugh. Alibaba finally destroyed the sphere?

5:30 next ep.

Ahh, the manga version of the extreme magic was so much cooler >.<
They didn't even have the djinns behind them!

I must say the animation of this fight isn't being done as well as I'd hoped it to :/

Well I actually liked the episode and it's been a long time ago to hear some season 1 ost's, though.
I'm only wondering if it really will have 25 episodes? Because I'm curious how they will end this arc in two episodes?
And I agree that A-1 really can't handle the epicness. They should go to another studio to animate Magi. xd

The music was too quiet on some scenes, it was so weird. It really felt out of place, so sad for this episode. Bad work indeed, A-1.

Hakuei is missing her scar (while not djinn equipped) though. One thing the manga needs to adopt :P

At this point I'll be glad to see it end. A-1 just can't handle Magi and should go back to their Vividred mayonnaise.

Isn't Kouen too much overpowered? I know we haven't seen all Sinbad's Djinns, but Kouen seems like to be as strong as Sinbad.

Nope. Read the manga. Sinbad>Kouen.

And I agree. The war arc is epicly handled on the manga. The anime adaptation sucks. Extreme magic is waayyyy more cooler in the manga than the anime.

No wayy. You'll see when Sinbad joins the battle. NOT A SPOILER. In the trailer you see him saiing to Magnostadt. Although kouen may be as smart as Sinbad.

The most funniest parts of this episode were definitely created by kouen. Making the dijiins freak out when he was grabbing Aladdin and stomping on Alibaba when he was laying flat on the lava lol.

Other than the extreme magic being less than unsatisfactory, everything else felt rather solid. But god help me if the rest of the season stays like this.

Really disappointed in the fighting and flying ... That constellation guy was so badass in the manga, but here each of the Ren family deal one blow then immediately note on how they are weak ._. And then they show yellow explosions in the air instead of showing any actual fighting from Nee san, wtf

Also, when the episode really didn't feel that epic throughout most of it, the characters seemed to overreact, and it really gave a scripted feel, if you will. Felt like the action/content didn't match the reactions of the characters :/ This is strange to me because the last few episodes have been pretty good :/ .. Hope they end the season soon so they don't have to rush any more great scenes.

Did they actually stated the name of that thing as Ill Ilah in the manga during that arc? Because I think it was only recently in the manga that Ilah is revealed.

Few funny moments. I lol when Kouen stomp Alibaba on the lava.

If ya think Kouen is OP, wait till you see Sinbad goes serious.

The animation quality was so bad :( . Is it A-1 spreading themselves too thin or is Magi just not getting enough money for the quality job we want? They shouldn't have gone a second season if it was going to end up like this.

A-1 has utterly disappoint me with the lack of details in this anime. The animation and story details could have been so mush more. In over it is a fine anime but the manga is 10 time better. if you really like the anime the manga is a must. Specially in the one with this fight in it will blow you a way.

Kinda disappointed how A-1 handled this episode, considering Sinbad v Koygyoku and Titus v Aladdin was animated beautifully.
Though, episode was still goddamn epic.
Nice to see the entire Kou siblings working together (besides Hakuyruu)
Kouen using the earth's lava as a magoi source was genius, and that dual extreme magic combination was amazing.

Noticed it too. The quick preview of Aladdin on episode 1 casting the 3 Giant Blaze was far more epic than the actual episode. I don't know why but the war arc animation sucks.

^^ because anime and manga are different mediums . at the current pace one episode of magi contains 3-5 chapters of surprises if you count each chapter ending in cliffhanger or interesting surprises .

you need to slow down to give emphasis to each events ... generate it with proper background/setting , add some smart filler , visualize epic manga drawings with proper or experimental animating treatment , add some interesting scenes ...etc... you really need some more episodes to give some solid impact of the story. otherwise people who don't read the manga really can't realize what they are missing .

and for the hundredth time ... A1 butchered the potential of magi .... of what magi could have been ...

*Sigh*

It's a shame the animation has become low quality during this war. It does follow the manga storyline alright, but it's the poor execution of action and tensed sequences that makes it a very flat experience to watch. We have all these amazing Djinn-equipped warriors but they often stand dead still midair, the black djinns are also in-animated. The Alibaba and Kouen teamup was a good scene though.

Magi s2 did have many good episodes that gave extra entertainment value in terms of animation and direction. For example the exiting Sinbad vs Koukyoku and Aladdin vs Titus, the creative swordplay in Alibaba vs Toto and some really emotional monologues from Mogamett. The new episodes are just flat... I want to see the djinn equips in their full glory :'( Two episodes to go, make it count A-1.

I had a wide smile on my face when Kougyoku called him "Alibaba-chan".

But overall I think it was a rather intense episode but since I haven't read the manga I have nothing to compare it to. But I can agree that the animation could have been better. It also is a shame that this fight against the medium just lasted this episode.

The hate mostly come from manga reader.

As an anime viewer,I enjoy this episode.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Since when are u writing the manga to be that sure :D
Also in the light of the massive romance vibes that Morgiana gives can you blame us? Sorry but Mor X Ali is the most colorless couple Ive seen in a while.

I'm a bit disappointed as well.. In the manga, it was like non stop action. I just kept clicking next page, next page, wanting more. Here, it's like 'yeah!!'... then a few seconds later, the excitement just dies. It's a good episode, don't get me wrong, but it needed more oomph, I guess. I also don't like the OST, I think the BGM is pretty damn shitty.
