| This show feels so rushed. But it's still rather good. The arrow was unexpected. |
 |
| I love the rushing because I can't wait to see Sinbad lol. Great adaptation, I actually like the directing. So much story in one episode. Far better than FSN/Umineko/Tsukihime adaptation. I think the OP will change the moment Balbadd Arc ends. |

i find Aladdin is soo cute in this, you cant blame him >< |
 |
| Two years to walk on foot?!! Hmm...the old Silk Road? He can probably fly in his flying turban/carpet or ride on Ugo though there's the magic stamina issue. Crap they killed old, sweet Granny! TT_TT I'm suspecting the warmongering general, of course. >_< When Aladdin was talking to granny and he said he was giving tummy power when those light glowing butterflies appear (maybe they do represent the flow of life as they said), I was reading a grimmer reality from Granny's shocked face. Perhaps he's not only giving his stamina but his life force as well when he do magic (so shorter life span each time)? And in the flashback with Ugo explaining Aladdin is different from humans somehow both reinforces and contradicts this...it could that Magi are given nigh unlimited magical powers but still human or maybe he's not human or mortal for that matter after all. Maybe I was reading all this wrong. Lots of "maybe". LOL Sorry went to speculation spree again. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| I was expecting the arrow to be shot in the head. Oh man such a predictable death flag. One does not surrender without its leader being assassinated. From start to end the whole ep was a huge death flag xD. |
| haha wow, lets talk about the meanest saddest ending to an episode ever, as the screen blacks out on the little magis face smiling and not knowing his grandmother just got murdered. fuck dude...lol |
 |
| I can't get enough of the OP <333 Anyway , liked the ep , also that girl from the clan was so fine xD |
 |
| When Granny was shot, I was like, "WTF O_O" wahh. D; Love the opening and really enjoying the anime. Really waiting for the people in the opening though. <3 |
| For whatever reason, I don't feel like this was rushed. That being said, I haven't read the manga so perhaps the pacing is better there. Question though, will Alibaba, Morgiana, and Aladdin join up, or is Aladdin gonna go solo for awhile like this episode? The OP suggests they'd travel together again at some point, but it doesn't look like Alibaba or Morgiana has any role in this current arc. |

| The previous episodes were better,but it was good too,though. |
| Nooooo~~~!!!!! D': Poor Baba, I really love her :( |

| wow 1 episode for this part of the story? i would have thought 2 or 3 episodes at-least... well maybe they will slow down soon right? |
| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
PervisumChaos said: Just because something isn't "truly essential" doesn't mean it should be skipped. No other adaptation has done it even half as bad as Magi has. 23 chapters in 4 episodes? That's just insane. Zetman |
hazerddex said: wow 1 episode for this part of the story? i would have thought 2 or 3 episodes at-least... well maybe they will slow down soon right? So what, waste 6 episode on this arc? It's the weakest out of the first three. They are rushing the beginning since it's too dragged and nothing much happens, so they want a full focus on Balbadd. I'd rather see 16 episodes of Balbadd. Also, why are people complaining about pacing in this episode? They covered pretty much the whole thing. It was page to page adaptation, without any change. What? They didn't animate that one panel? Blasphemy worst manga adaptation ever. Seriously, what's the point of panel to panel adaptations. It's way better when they change some things, like the beginning. Even though it's still the same thing as the manga, it felt like something new (well it kinda was new). |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| I liked it. Fast, funny, suspense, action.. Whats more to like? Anyways Im geared up for episode five. Wonder what will happen since "that" happened you know? |
| I saw her death coming but still jumped when the arrow hit her... RIP Obaasan |
| That was another great episode. I loved how much I felt for the "family", everyone is such a good person there. Even the young guy did the right thing in the midst of rage and didn't kill the other guy (sorry, I don't remember their names). The ending certainly wasn't expected, and I can't wait to see how it is resolved next episode (we all knew that guy meant trouble). Amazing series still, great art, characters, and I like the setting (something different- not in Japan). 5/5. |
 |
| I love the anime so much I actually read the manga up to ch160 just now. It is hard to believe that the author for Sumomomo Momomo made this as that manga focus more on comedy while this one has a serious tone to it |
| That granny was tripping death flags so furiously I almost wanted to laugh. Dropped. |
| Sweet. Aladdin might be able to kill all the enemies. I hope it happens |
 |
| What the hell? Someone actually shot the cute baasan with an arrow? You've got to be kidding me, I have my suspicions about the culprit, actually it seems pretty obvious. This episode was quite nice, the start to a new arc it seems. Aladdin finding a family was quite nice and his relationship with the baasan was adorable. lol at Aladdin drinking the milk straight from the horse xD The new princess character voiced by Nana (<3) seemed like a likeable character, her second in command (?) however does not. The promise between Aladdin and the princess was nice. So Ali Baba went after Aladdin now? Did he take the former slave girl with him? This was a good episode, though a little slow. I approve. 4/5 Sent with Mal Updater |
| Hakuei's voice's far from what I imagined but ohwell. |
| Did not see that arrow coming. Really nice episode, much better than the previous one, though I hope they stop this "the one" talk already. Music is nice too 5/5 |
| End Zionazism |
| Damn, as much I hoped, I knew the peace wouldn't last. Bad times ahead. |
| who killed her?!?!?! O_O |
| Subscribe plz ^^ http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAlmeidaPT Like plz xD https://www.facebook.com/pages/Otaku-Powa/157576507666018 |
| Damn it! Why does the grandma has to get shot by an arrow. Good episode BTW. |
 |
| Baba! ;; It was a good episode until that scene... |
 |
itsvero said: OH FUCK. Did not see that coming. This is getting good! Definitely saw that coming miles away. It's sad that an old lady that kind is going to die, hope that she could still be saved. |

| glad i haven't read the manga then zD the ending was slightly predictable but other than that yet another high action episode, loved it! |
| This episode was good... Except for the ending. Why Oba-san? |
TwinofPower said: This episode was good... Except for the ending. Why Oba-san? T.T I know, right! |
| Woah woah holy shit! |
 |
| What the fuck? Arrow out of nowhere!? |
 |
| Damn that ending is just fucked up, I had a feeling that would happen, but when it actually happened I was like WHY? Currently more focused on Aladdin and the tribe, now that that happened I really wonder what will happen next! I'm guessing a damn huge war! |
 |
| Who shot her? probably the man but what if the princess is a great liar? PLOT TWIST! |
"Stop whining, all I did was chop off your stupid legs." |
| Who the heck shot her ? Just got start watching this . |
 - barely alive - |
| Baba-san!!! That was just dirty! Low down and dirty!! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| great but sad. didn't see that coming |
 |
| No! Baba! I didn't see that coming. |
