IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT KOUEN'S FUCKING TITAN OF A HOUSEHOLD MEMBER?

THE DUDE COULD ACCIDENTALLY SNEEZE FIRE AND STILL DESTROY EVERYTHING

Alibaba's entrance is the only thing i like in this ep.. the whole kouha thing is boring.. I suppose to watch the anime to see how intense the battle is but it looks like reading is more intense..

Thanx for the nipple btw A-1 :D

1 word about Alibaba's djinn equip: DAAAAYUUUUUUUM!! He's finally a badass dude and not a weakling!

Can't wait to see the war progress!

They adapted my favorite manga chapter in this episode and it's sad to say that it lacked in the animation department.

Still, Alibaba's djinn equip is so cool. Although it was too bad that he wasn't able to show his extreme magic.

Best episode yet, except I really wanted to see Mogamett step onto the battlefield personally and it would have been better if he was that powerful without resorting to using the black rukh.

Alibaba wow lol i had no idea he would be that strong already that was perfect and Kouha's extreme magic was the highlight for me, so freaking badass when he slammed the ground like that and the dark djins flattened into pancakes XD

Alibaba was badass! So was the dude protecting his army and his backup, really cool. No doubt left that Mohammed (lol) has gone over to the dark side a while ago and now completely so.

My big gripe was with the animation of the big black baddies though, the first 3 were mostly shown in stillframe and the cross-eyed ones that came after weren't much better. Really painful to see the show do this half-assed animation when it's supposed to be epic.

That said, as someone who doesn't read manga I have to say it's really annoying to see people complaining that the animation doesn't live up to the manga. (Aside from the cutting on big action scenes for budget or time reasons I guess.) From the manga link the guy in this thread posted, all I see is black lines and spots on white paper and can barely make out wtf is going on, compared to the gorgeously colorful anime I really don't see how you can complain about that...

while i think the anime did a good job on a lot of this episode, there are some things during the mogmett mental breakdown that were just way more impactful in the manga because of the manga using an abstract, eeiry art in comparison to the anime doing things in a much more generic way.

compare these few pages with the current anime version. like back to back

Okay, this episode, IMHO so far, has the worst animation quality! Those long range shot of the character looked derpy hideous!

However, Kouha & Alibaba djinn equips became a saving grace. And that new ending sequence? THAT is a truly awesome shot!

Okay, A-1 Pictures, for those alone, for now you're forgiven (at least by me). Please try to do better animation in the next episodes...

Both Alibaba and Kouha were badass as fuck.I wonder what will Kouha's reaction be to Aladdin being a Magi :D.Neverthless, awesome episode ^^

So is number of episodes confirmed, or we dont know anything yet? if its 24 or 26 then we are really close to ending :/

Poor Alibaba. Spotlight stolen from him. I like his djinn equip form.
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.

I liked this episode but it was less well animated because of the amount of effort animation wise needed for a war,Especially in faces and things that were not in the foreground.

I think Magi's animation is more suited to action with smaller groups of people at a time.

The new Djinn forms look oh so reminiscent of the Overdevil from King Gainer.

The big guns come out, but sadly, the sloppiness is really taking away from my ability to enjoy this.

I also can't help but laugh at Alibaba's intro/battle theme... its just so 90's action.

Lmao, Alibaba's extreme magic was totally overshadowed by Kouen's entrance at the end. Alibaba's Djinn Equipment looks really cool, however.

Mogamett has joined to the dark side for good. Kinda sad how much his hatred has consumed him.

Kouha's Djinn Equipment also looks badass. Curious that his Djinn is female, but fits his bishonen appearence, though. His relationship with his subordinates and how he accepted them despite them being outcasts was heartwarning.

Only 4 episodes left. Liked how in the ending they added the characters with Metal Vessels in their Djinn Equipment.

I really must question Aladdin and Alibaba supporting the invaders there, especially since they are the mighty Kou empire which will of course be able to handle some black djinns. If he really wants to stop the black rukh, he should instead go for the source aka Mogamett.
