Huehuehue what a bad adaptation. Seriously, A-1 can't even animate properly. One of the most epic part in this war is Aladdin summoning those three Ugos yet this adaptation didn't even do shit to back that up. No good OST .. No nothing. Holy crap.

This episode was AMAZING. Aladdin is my favorite character of all times in the battle shounen terms. He is so powerful right now, he can annihilate anything, but still, his morality tells him not to do that. I love that. Masterpiece. 10/10.

5 points to anyone can tell me what's missing from the anime based on this image?
Blood and gore. And I am happy it is missing.
it makes it 10x better, why would u be happy its missing?
Because Magi is not the kind of anime that relies on gore to survive.


Gore isn't something to rely on. It just adds to the experience. Lack of blood/gore doesn't break a show, but it makes it less good than if it had some.

Aladin has become a BEAST! Now that's a good strategy by Aladin. Too bad, it ended on a semi-cliffhanger. Still loving the ending song.

The 3 main fanalis are just too badass. Those 3 alone took an whole army.

Aladin on the other hand took the whole leam empire single handed. I wonder what actions Alibaba will take. And I have a feeling the fanalis have another trick up their sleeve.

You know Leam isn't going to back out after that, considering the top 3 Finalis haven't been defeated, and also the leader chick and those Generals of Leam haven't done anything yet (Aren't they all on the ships?). It would be kinda lame for the whole conflict to be resolved before Alibaba could meet back up with Aladdin, but who knows.

I've noticed a trend of manga readers getting very butthurt and moaning over how the anime isn't doing the manga justice and whatnot. I'm glad I didn't pick up the manga, I've really been enjoying this season ever since the pirate arc finished and haven't had many complaints. I don't think its very often that an anime can outdo its manga source material so yeah.

It's not really as much the manga as it is quality in general. I was so impressed with the fight between Aladdin and Titus. The animation was so fluid and the scene outdid the manga in most areas. I will say this absolutely: the war is the highlight of this arc. So needless to say, I expected the same exact - or even better - quality for the first two episodes of the war. Instead we got... this ... and that ...

It's not enough to piss me off, but I am disappointed.

I agree with this episode being kind of anticlimactic for dealing with an army, even though it was the typical Aladdin morals we know and love at work, but I'm still glad we finally get to see Aladdin's more powerful Magi side revealed in front a bajillion people going WOOOOOOAAAAH DUUUUDE.

Here's to hoping that the fights to come in the next episode or in there next few episodes make up for some of that anticlimactic-ness.

Are the manga readers who are disappointed seriously not taking into account all the stuff that has to happen soon? It's obvious they have the ability to animate scenes well but they probably can't do any more than they have to save resources for elsewhere, not that I know, but I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt.

If the climax is on the same level I'll take it back and be disappointed as well but until then :P

tsubasa, your episode descriptions are hilarious to read. One could even think you don't know any of the characters, seeing how you barely use any names. And who's Mamo? seriously LOL
For the record, I'm not trying to be an asshole here. Just pointing out something that amuses me greatly every single week. So in a sense, thank you!

---
The episode was crap, to be honest. It felt like A-1 wanted to get to Aladdin's part at all costs, sacrificing everything else along the way. And that sure worked. My heart broke several times upon witnessing the slaughter of the characters' dignity. Budget seems to be a huge problem for this studio, as they don't know shit about how to properly utilize it.


Come on now.. Mamo... The seiyuu behind the character. That's as important a fact as the character itself for some! Miyano Mamoru!

Woo Hoo!!! Aladdin did the durn thang in this one!!

Looks like Mu still wants to put up a fight. Scheherazade's Fanalis warriors are nothing but a bunch of blood thirsy barbarians. Mu may actually be loyal, but the rest of them just want to kill and destroy.

So what was the deal with the 3 Ugo scene at the start of the series which was totally different from this? A way for A-1 to fool people into thinking the war would actually have decent animation? Lol at that.

Each show has it own genre... Gore is part of Berserk, removing it would "kill" its feel.
I do not believe the same for Magi, it's more of a comedy show to me and so gore is negative here. (Maybe if the show had always been super gore I'd disagree of course!)

This. I guess that scene was more epic in the premonition because it showed everyone in their own perspectives, as in Morgiana was walking with Yunan, Alibaba was on the ship, so was Sinbad, and Titus was in the middle of the war, etc...it captured a broad view of what was going on, and here it was only a scene with Aladdin, I suppose that is why it lacks the impact we thought it would have, but none the less I enjoyed seeing Aladdin at full Magi, raising hell and taking names. I mean hes powerful as hell!

Whoo! finally caught up! what a journey its been! I'm completely in love with this anime, and quite sad I now have to wait a week for the next episode! anyway this episode was awesome! and Aladdin is doing his thang! only wish everyone shared his ideals in ending the war but of course that wont happen, we didn't even see any of the potential kings fight in full equip yet, now we must wait!

this certainly sounds like what they did with season 1.. spent all their budget on the first cour which was really good in order to attract viewers, then it ended poorly with sub-par animation and adaptation.


Yeah. disappointing. I was hesitant going further with reading the manga because i didn't want to ruin my enjoyment of the anime but if this is how they will animate then i better just read the manga and get it over with.
I mean for fuck sakes Fanalis didn't even have a single shot where their faces didn't look weird.

Oh my God. So freaking good. I love you, Aladdin. You became mature, but you didn't lose your ideals either. Amazing.

Better than first season, hands down. Has a 9 in my book, but depending on the ending I'm seriously thinking about inching it up to a 10.

I can't wait until the 23rd for the next episode. ;_; I love you, Olympics, but oh my god please go away, I need my Magi.

I feel like this needs to be highlighted. I wouldn't have known about the break if I hadn't randomly decided to check the chapter thread's first few posts again.

Quite ironic that the manga's on break too this week, ha.

I am saying it too and i haven't even seen the manga, that's how obviously bad this last two episodes where. It's obvious there is some butchering going right now cause the whole war feels so lame.

It would seem that that Mu guy or whatever his name is isn't ready to give up yet . . . Hopefully he isn't somehow actually insanely powerful and kicks Aladdin's ass, I'm slightly concerned by those weird veins that appeared on Aladdin, I'm guessing that isn't a good thing.

Kinda dissapointed they didn't improved the art, but well, there are still 5 episodes more and things can improve.

I don't think Muu is going to give up after Aladdin's strategy of pushing back the Reim soldiers, He looks in fact more decided than before.
