Dat cliffhanger! The fact it was alibaba was predictable, but him turning 'bad' was surprising for me. Guess they didn't want to bring him back in without a twist.

Ah well, this will be great character development for him just like Morgiana in the previous ep.

To me, this anime is probably the best of this season with how consistently amazing each episode is. There isn't a single one I didn't like. o.o

Wow Sinbad is hilarious!!! Did not expect him to be that way at all. DAT LEAF. Finally Alibaba returns! Yayyyy. Some people have said he turned "bad" but I don't think he did. There must be a reason why he's doing all of that.

I was gonna say that I bet five hundred thousand bucks that the Alibaba that they brushed off as another Alibaba was totally the Alibaba that they knew. But then the reveal came at the end so yeah. What am I even saying.

And I'm crying tears of joy at all the famous voice actors in this anime. This episode alone we've got Sakurai Takahiro, OnoD, Hosoya Yoshimasa, and Fukuyama Jun (my all time fave).

Another good episode :P. Curious to see how this will pan out. obviously Alibaba hasn't really turned bad.

I must have missed something, so maybe I should rewatch the previous episodes. But what exactly happened after the dungeon? Why were Alibaba and Aladdin split up anyway?

The Rukh separated them. The Rukh resembles the flow of life, or 'fate', and Aladdin, as a Magi, was guided by the Rukh to that village, thus they got separated.

Oh, yes, Cassim. My favourite character has arrived! And he's voiced by a favourite VA of mine, too!

Anyway, I really like the pacing in this episode. I was getting a little worried because they simply sped through the previous episodes, but they did say they were going to put in their all for this Balbadd arc, so I have high expectations for this one.

When they left the dungeon remember that the Djinn used magic on them to teleport them out.

As they were being teleported, the rukh split up Aladdin in order to guide him to a place where we was needed. In this case it was the village where the Baba lived.
This is why Aladdin says later that there are no coincedences because it's the rukh leading him to people and places where unusual events are occuring.

Morgiana just ended up outisde of the city because she really had no other place to be sent to now that Jamil and Goltas were dead.

Alibaba landed right where the dungeon used to to be because he was recognized as the dungeon capturer.

For a while now, i've always laughed at comments such as these:

> The long awaited Balbadd arc
> The arc we've been anticipating

Its only been 7 Episode, with a huge chunk of the beginning portion being rushed and cut

This is what can be described as real anticipation (in certain shonen adaptations):
> 26 filler episodes before a turning point cannon arc starts

I still like this anime, ~8/10 so far, but I'll have to read the manga too.

You want people to say i'm anticipating the Balbadd focused episodes instead of saying arc?

Maybe the word arc is overused but just because it's been 7 episodes doesn't make it any less of one.
We've already seen 3 arcs previous to this one, rushed or not they are still there.

Its not the word arc that is overused, most stories are indeed split into separate arcs.

Phrases such as these would be so more appropriate.

"Its been so fast, but the Balbadd arc is the where it Magi gets good"

"I cannot believe we got here in less than 2 months"

"I would never have imagined the Balbadd arc would come so soon when I heard there was going to be a adaptation"

Sinbad seems freaking awesome. He has the mentor feel about him, funny at times but when he gets serious, shit gets real.

Alibaba with the group of thieves, no surprise there really.

And Alibaba finally gets, well, 5 seconds of screen time! I'd really rather not have Alibaba's role revealed so early in the episode though, because we all know name coincidences don't happen in anime...it kind of killed any element of surprise.

In any case, it's good that we're getting Alibaba back, although he looks somewhat different from before. Good episode overall.

But it's unfair to show female nipples but censor the men! Unfair. Sexist. Not only do they put leaves in front of the most interesting male parts, the poor guy also doesn't have any nipples at all.

As expected from you i guess, there should be a limit to it though

You don't seem to realize what you even said so let me break it down in a way you can understand. Anticipation means hype, it means excitement, aside from those who got spoiled who else would get excited for the Balbadd arc other than the manga readers..... who know exactly why its worthy of such hype For those readers it has been way longer than seven episodes, they have been anticipating it since a adaption was announced, no heck even before that when they started reading it with no anime in sight with thoughts like "this would be awesome animated". Anime only viewers should have no anticipation at all with the exception of those who got spoiled, your comment is not only annoying but it makes freaken no sense at all.

People have made it so that frontal male nudity stands is in a whole other league of its own.

If Neko was a man he'd have his own variation of the leaf too.
She's a she because any other option would have started a shitstorm and you would have lost half the fanbase already.

Honestly i would disagree that it isnt trash but parts are still being cut out.
I like animes because of how the manga characters get colour, movement, and are voiced to make it seem more realistic. I was hoping Magi be at least 50 episodes or so.. but so far its meh..

This ^^ Totally agreed!
Yup, manga readers like me, been waiting for 5 months, ever since the announcement of anime adaption.

@Gash_V-D_Hetchum
People who are anticipating Balbadd arc obviously are manga readers. You mean 5 months is short? I laughed at your comment.

Even if "its only been 7 Episode, with a huge chunk of the beginning portion being rushed and cut", that doesn't change the fact for us manga readers that it's been 5 months.
The phrases you said are the ones that aren't appropriate..

That was a fantastic ending to a great episode. I would like to know his reasoning for such things. Anyhow, all three are together now. I also like the new characters, especially the king, he is funny.
So of course I am really looking forward to the next episode since this one ended like that.

Great episode. Weird how the King of the Seven seas, Sinbad, got robbed by robbers. Also, he got scared SHITLESS when Mor stomped really hard into the ground. Really funny how he was such a coward without his Djinns. Well, it was Alibaba all along. I'm going to stop now before I spoil the whole entire arc. :)
