| Female Genie is sassy! love her. |

| I'm tired of the suggestion that all adults are either mindless, idiotic sheep or immoral and lecherous (warlords/bandits/slave-traders), and only the kids know what's actually going on; because everyone knows once you turn 18, you lose all common sense. I feel shows like this try too hard to be a shounen anime. |

| What are you talking about? Baba is well over being adult, and she doesn't act like that. Also, Hakuei is 21, an adult, and her ways of thinking aren't mindless. There just happen to be villains who are adults that have been corrupted by power or wealth. |
| Did you see all the adults in the rest of the clan? Or how about all of the soldiers? Hakuei maybe 21, but she's distinctly designed so that kids relate to her. |

| If you were so set in your ways, and had so much pride in your clan and then your leader got shot, of course you'd want to rebel and fight against the enemy. Granted that at least some of the adults should've thought more rationally, their way of life is being attacked, and they're scared of losing what they've known their whole lives. With Dolge, he had already fought through that issue, and was told directly by Baba not to kill anyone which is the only reason he didn't cause a war in the first place. And as it was stated, Ryosai was going to be the original leader of that army, so of course they would follow him and not Hakuei. They probably aren't going to care about a group of people that isn't their own, at the risk of being ousted or killed by Ryosai, if they even began to think it wasn't a good idea. |
Kemmi said: In real life, people are not all single-mindedly lockstep with each other emotionally, but the real sticking point here is that the adults are all depicted as sheep that can't think for themselves, and required either the old, women, or children to rationalize and see the bigger picture -- it is this obvious juxtaposition, this separation of two groups: the adults that cause problems, and the children who solve problems. This undoubtedly attracts the younger crowd with deeply-seated teen angst and anger against adults who misunderstand them, but it is not how the real world works. Yes, there may be adults who are quick to judge, that may even be the majority, but to depict all of the adults as either evil or incompetent, and all of the children as problem solvers, is frankly ridiculous.If you were so set in your ways, and had so much pride in your clan and then your leader got shot, of course you'd want to rebel and fight against the enemy. This isn't the first anime that missed this concept; Magi is clearly aimed at younger teens, and it does so by antagonizing older characters. There isn't even an element in the story that could justify it; rather it's the blatant style of the direction, the inner narrative that's present in every scenario. You see it as Ryosai and Hakuei; I see the tyrannical father archetype and the idealistic young woman. |

Actually,this series features quite a few young characters and children who are utterly misguided,anything but rational or even murderously sociopathic.Even among the good guys. Meanwhile,the single most competent guy on the side of the "good guys" is this cunning,grownass adult man you can catch a glimpse of in the opening. |

| That female genie caught me off guard... |
SanderRX said: It is chiaroscuro -- night and day -- how they portrayed Hakuei as even-minded, mentally-stable, compared to Ryosei's rabid, over-zealous power grab. It's about competency, but it is also about EQ (emotional quotient). Any evident weaknesses in the characters are on a different level. Compare Ryosei to Jafar to Scar to Loki (from the Avengers) and you'll see an uncanny similarity that's the product of bad writing that pitches a false dichotomy of good against evil, level-minded against raging lunatics, pure and naive against corruption and zeal. Even the "good" characters who are either morally questionable or without power show the ability to reason -- something sorely missing on the other side. A lot of movies or anime don't have to paint all the protagonists or antagonists with a broad brush to get their point across.katsucats said: We'll see. Misguided, sociopathic are ethical judgments. I'm talking about competency. If we are talking competence,then I'll have to say that I can't see Hakuei's performance too positively in that regard. All the villains that have shown up in Magi so far lack mental fortitude, they easily buckle under pressure and plead for life regardless of their strengths. All the voices of reason are either women or children. |

| Haha, Paimon is such a tease to Ugo. Glag to hear more about that black Magi, he seems to be a complete contrast to Aladdin. |
| Boobs :D |
| So we got big blue tits and it's still PG13? Aight. |
| Great episode! 5/5 Just hope it doesn't dim down. |
 |
| nice |
| Subscribe plz ^^ http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAlmeidaPT Like plz xD https://www.facebook.com/pages/Otaku-Powa/157576507666018 |
| Great episode. Hakuei looks awesome with that "form". |
 |
| Loved this episode. It was just so nice and touching to watch. And I am really liking Hakuei, she's so kind, strong, and pretty, especially in that transformation. |
 |
| Paimon is hot. I'm surprised it wasn't censored. So that's what Ugo's face looks like... |
 |
| This show is pretty good so far. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. |

| Nice episode! :D I liked the way they designed Paimon. Though, was not expecting to see nipples in this anime. Eh, whatever works. |
| Ryousai has balls, that's all I'm going to say. |
 |
| That was rather a nice episode, I didn't expect that Hakuei also had a genie! Quite interesting and also the first sight of another magi! Lets see what happens next! |
 |
| im surprised the little pervert was not all over Paimon. maybe he does not like Djinn boobs though |
"Stop whining, all I did was chop off your stupid legs." |
| Another interesting episode. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| great episode, i now love Ren..not only does she look amazing but shes a bad ass. I'm so happy shes not a weak princess. |
 |
| Nice episode |
| Very impressive anime so far, and I hear it only gets better. |
| would berry both princess and paimon |
 |
| whats up with all the nipple censor shit you guys are talking about? i did not even bother about that. freaking retards getting all worked up with a blue creature. I was hoping more comments about Hakuei's Djinn suit, fail. |
| grandma dying, rape faces, blue boobs, plot unfolding... just great stuff |
| Nice wrap up to this arc. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well not as much as I could have because granny died :( The fighting scenes were nice, I really like the story progression and in which direction its heading, so the chosen king for Aladdin is Alibaba.. although it was a mistake I guess we could blame destiny, because I'm assuming Alibaba is of royalty some how, maybe its just his rightful place.....speculation here, I have not read the manga so I do not need confirmation. |
 |
| I wish I could be mature and not talk about the djinn girl's breasts but damn anyway I like the show so far,the author is really using every card out there with the arabian nights feel,if this keeps up it might be the 3rd best shounen |
 |
| Oppai monster? Yeah that was the first thing that came to mind when I heard "Paimon." Sometimes I don't like how immature I am >__< |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Last two episodes were weaker but finally Alladin is going to rejoin with Alibaba. |
| Very great episode from beginning to end. A lot of content was covered, we're really going fast I'd say a little too fast. RIP to Granny. I'm glad that guy who tried to set up Hakuei and both clans was taken out. I enjoyed seeing Hakuei fight, she looked good! Also glad we seen Hakuei's djinn and that we got some interesting revelations from her! It was nice to see Aladdin say his goodbyes to the village, I liked this arc. Can't wait to see what happens next. |
| So . . . Hakuei is an enemy then, right? Cause she was chosen by that other Magi who I'm going to bet is definitely evil. Also, a side note, can Magi choose multiple kings? Cause he seems to want to select Hakuei's younger brother despite already having selected her, or does he plan to throw her away once he is bored. |
 |
| This week I started the anime and really like the anime. This episode was really good but a bit sad because Baba died. I am planning (maybe) begin reading the manga. |
| Great episode, glad they get rid of that bastard. Nice to see Hakuei fight and her oppailicious Djinn ^^. This anime is really great, can't wait to see it through. |
 |
| how tf is this relevant at all, and why tf should i care?.. o look the princess has the power of a djinn too. those titty piercings.... |
~my list
| Wow that Djinn equip was just amazing! Really good episode! |
 |
| TITTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rest of the episode was boring as heck. 7/10 for big blue boobs. |
| Holy crap Paimon... |
