Love the animation, it looks beautiful - especially the scenery. I think it also improves art from the manga at points. Really looking forward to this arc animated in it's entirety.
Hopefully it won't be rushed too much, the first episodes really felt like they were being rushed.

Trash? The anime's start is better than the manga's.

If you dislike it so, then don't watch it or at the very least stop trying to degrade the series which other manga readers and anime only viewers are enjoying just fine.

Some of them are, some of them are not. I really don't care. It's not like I'm speaking for someone else. However I do like the Magi manga even though this anime is trash (atleast the first two episodes I watched) so I'm holding out hope they will actually start to make it into something decent when they slow down and follow the story they are trying to say instead of making this abomination.

Magi started charting off with a 7.99 average score on MAL the last 3 episodes have bumped it up to a 8.09.
It's not much but it only keeps increasing.
You do the math.


Can't take a lot of scores seriously on here because there's too many idiots but this time I agree with scores.

Don't state your opinions as if they are facts, realize that your degrading condescending viewpoints are nothing but a minority which will never be considered the general norm for this series, also realize another thing you say you don't care but what makes you think we give a crap about what you say either? The difference here? is that we aren't trolling like you are, when you don't like something you leave it alone you don't keep coming back insulting it for those who do like it.

I don't rate the scores on here at all. Most people rate anime way to highly and hardly go lower than 8 or 9, so a score under 8 is really rare on here and a lot of terrible stuff has over 8 in rating imo.

Tavor: The first quote in that box of quotes you pasted has the answer. I came here with a question, I'm looking for a place to jump in if they start doing this properly and will be skipping all episodes between 3 and then.

Disagreeing with majority or stating my opinion ain't trolling, do you even know what trolling is? You seem to care more about my opinion than I care about yours atleast, as you seem to need to answer me each time.

This trash sadly is based on an enjoyable manga if it wasn't I would drop this like a rock. So as annoyed as I am with the adaptation I'm still hoping for it to turn good somewhere so I can enjoy the animation like I enjoy the manga. So far it looks like it has not happened.

Ah, I see ^^

It just seems weird to not continue to watch, despite the stuff that's been cut out. Compared to A-1's other airing show, "Sword Art Online", where they skip LOTS of material (6 month jumps or so per episode), I'd say A-1 is managing Magi much better.
Have a real-life friend who has read most of the manga and said even though certain material is cut out, he's overall happy with it and enjoying it.

Yes, I'm purely an anime watcher, but it doesn't feel horribly rushed, nor has any episode thus far felt like useless fillers


I understand though if you wish to have it stay in your on-hold list from a manga reader standpoint, it's no biggie :)

I don't normally watch shounen, but this show is really rather good. A pleasing absence of endless posturing and seeking to become "stronger", and instead it has actual real issues like slavery, facing a hostile force which cannot be resisted and the rich-poor gap, plus one of the leads is characterised primarily as a peacemaker. Nice.

Also I feel sad for anyone who couldn't figure out most of this arc from the immense foreshadowing and not-so-subtle hints we got already. I haven't read the manga but it seems pretty obvious which way things will go from here...

I hope they will slow down the pace a bit from now on. It was fine for the exposition but they shoeld take their time now that we are 7 eps in.

There. Haven't read the manga. I might be wrong in the details but that will be the general outline of this arc. I'm willing to eat a superchilli pizza if I am wrong (I get sick from spicy food)^^.

What kind of sorcery is this? Stupid database rollback because of a certain fag who decided to hack MAL.
So, about this episode. Alibaba was Alibaba, although this was entertaining this was way too predictable.
Next episode should get rid of the problems seeing this pace, or perhaps it'll take 2 episodes.
I wonder how "The Dark Lands" look, I'm looking forward to seeing those "Lands".
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Yes it does because people are stupid and they never learn how to read the first page where it says not to post spoilers.

Not only those 2 but almost all the subforums for every anime have lots of spoilers.

Reading incomprehension factors into it, but so does the fact that spoilers can be annoying as fuck to hide all the time.

On to the episode! Aladdin's voice had a more robust sound to it. Sindbad's casting choice was great.

The last 5 mins or so gave me chills.

Disturbing episode with the malnourished baby... What Sinbad said was true, if you dislike the current system, stand up to it!

ALIBABA looks too serious in this episode. First his goal was to find Aladdin, couldn't he be happy to see his friend? I understand the situation was awkward, but if he greeted his friend, they could get down to business quicker.

Another good chapter for what is so far a great show.

There is a surprising amount of flesh in this show, male and female. Surprising considering its supposed demographic.
