THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------


Uh, I'm not sure the music of this episode fit well but otherwise, I thought the episode was okay. Let the training begin! The part with Morgania was funny as hell though lol.

Anyways, finally glad to see Hakuryuu Ren introduced. About time. I think he made a debut before with Judal in one of the previous episode. And LOL @ Kougyoku Ren this episode. Oh wow, her dedication to be with Sinbad..wow. Okay, so I guess this episode wasn't really that exciting but I got some good laughs from it especially with that water demonstration.

I don't really like the music too, doesn't fit.. Seeing how everyone going against Sinbad is funny lol

So that snake which bit Alibaba is really Isnan -,- Just what are they trying to do? If Isnan is now with Alibaba, then what about the Isnan in Zagan dungeon? They want to cut off Alibaba's hands instead of Hakuryuu's? Can't they just follow the manga?

And also, they cut off the part with Judal whereby he met Sinbad in Kou's empire but somehow Judal didn't bother him like he always did, which Sinbad thought is weird too.

Nice episode, that water demonstration scene was just as funny as it was in the manga. Lol at Hinahoho and Drakon's faces where they thought "something" was about to happen between Kougyoku and Sinbad. The music was... interesting. Definitely has a different feel to it. xD

Comedy episode :D

Morgiana is once again really adorable. Who would have thought that she kept the fetters all this time. It's no longer a burden from her past, but a tool that holds the memory of the people closest to her.

Then we have the highly awaited new character Hakuryuu though overshadowed by Kougyoku being upset. And that naked Sinbad fufufufu...

Ka Koubun really cares about the princess but also has selfish motives. He also bursts into crocodile tears. Minor character, but he's actually fun to watch IMO. Jafar spitting in his face was hilarious too xD

Art looked great and the comedy was delightful.
Music choice was weird, it kinda fit in the water demonstration scene, but not in the training scene. I guess it was meant to be somewhat comical.

It was a good episode although quite different. The music and story progression where definitely not the same but it was necessary to progress the story and i liked it.

The Kou prince looks like a really good character especially at the end of the episode. I like the fact that he uses a Guan Dao which is an awesome weapon, can't wait to see him in action.

Finally, well it's Horriblesubs but better than nothing...about the ep

Man that BGM this ep was pretty bad esp at the beginning.

Mor was cute with those gloves and all

The scene with Sinbad and Kyougoku wasn't as fun as manga but it was still enjoyable and funny enough hehe...esp liked how they didn't trust him at all and when Ja'far spat on Ka Koboun XDXDXDXD

I enjoyed this episode more than the last few, the artwork was really nice to look at.

Mor's chubby face with the gloves on, that was hilarious and so cute!

I loved how they all turned on Sinbad, making the alcohol accusations and believing he really did that, it was really funny ^.^, glad he didn't do it, although I did have a feeling it was a setup to get them married for political reasons, I couldn't imagine him really doing something like that.

Good ep. I like this arc far better than the previous one.

Didn't expect the prince ( most likely princess as well since she likes sinbad ) to go against the empire. That is assuming he isn't going to backstab later on.

Wow, this isn't what happened in the Manga. Fuck you A-1. Fuck you. I hope the next 8.0 magnitude earthquake hits your studio.

Just noticed that they completely jumbled up the chapter 77 on wards. So sad that Amon transferred into the new sword in an instant when it isn't supposed to happen. Seriously they should have just said that a Djinn wouldn't transfer into a new weapon that easily and just make Amon transfer in a later episode. They also skipped the part with Judal and Sinbad encounter which is just a short scene. I bet Zagan's arc will be lame as fuck with lame animation and music. I wonder why A-1 is doing this shit. Don't they realize that they are shit?

besides that actually a nice episode. it seems like a filler, but i heard that they ignored a lot of chapters, so maybe they try to slow down a bit now? who knows.

Well, they followed the manga mostly.
Its kind of irritating how they shortcut things.. Like Yamuraiha's magic, she's somewhat able to do it out of thin air lol.. XD and Amon going to the new sword so easily because of some convenient connection to the previous king. I guess it's pretty harmless though.
Kougyoku is soo cute, ka koubun makes me laugh.And Hakuryuu has been properly introduced.
Yeah and the bgm was pretty weird

I've learned to overlook most things but my heart weeps when Sharrkan and Alibaba's fighing/dialogue is minimized to that extent.


Though points for spitting Ja'far. He's lovely.

Ahhh. I really dislike that female princess character. I felt like she wasted the episode.

Yeah, the music in this episode felt off. I usually don't even notice music most of the time, but it stuck out as so odd.

By the way THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. Why are you people talking about the manga? There is a manga forum for that. Go there.

This.

Seriously what a waste of an episode. I actually dozed off on my desk while the soap opera was going on...

The only good part was with Morgiana being SO FREAKIN CUTE as always.

LOL. That princess character just ruined things. So unnecessary for her to even be part of the series. The beginning was kind of cool where they showed Alibaba and Aladdin training - then it suddenly turned into "a naked man in my bed." Which was hella fanservice and seemed like filler. Could've been a great episode if they spent the time talking about the new prince character. I agree with him here:

Well it kind of looks like a filler since they took out all the plot-material from Sinbad's flashback.

I don't usually care to post on forums, but just wanted to point out that in the ED Hakuryuu Ren does have a metal hand. The manga readers comparing the anime should know what I'm talking about. (Or maybe not, maybe I don't know... who knows...)

It seems to me like they plan to change the plot a little, but there doesn't seem to be any point to that at all. I don't understand what goes through these anime staffs heads.


This episode happened pretty much like that manga but I guess they lengthened the kougyoku-Sinbad thing instead of just adding the information (like Yamu's magic, Sinbad seeing Judal in Kou(briefly) and Sharrkan's sword technique)
To much work to animate huh?

Anywaaaays, this episode was pretty entertaining. Sinbad's many expressions were hilarious X) And the water magic to reveal the truth was pretty cute too. I also agree that the bgm in the beginning was a little distracting...random trumpet solo? o_O Ka Koubun's apologizing/crying part made me laugh and then Ja'far spitting on him was just golden. But my favorite parts was probably when we get to see Hakuryuu. Kuroko's seiyuu does a perfect job as Hakuryuu! You can't really tell it's the same seiyuu at all, except the speaking in keigo of course, or so my friend who understands Japanese says.

2 things that struck my interest having watched this Ja'far's past and the new character i knew something was up with him he seemed far to kind and honorable to be the prince of the Kou Empire which just screams *the bad guys*

code geass was popular because it was mega close to the manga

You obviously don't know what the hell you're talking about. Code Geass was an original anime series created by Sunrise, just like Cowboy Bebop. The manga that came afterwards was published in a monthly shoujo magazine, and practically no one paid attention to it (excluding fujoshi). The Code Geass anime didn't follow anything.


code geass was still good

anime is surprosed to be different its not the manga

Don't even bother helping them out, it seems their new to this Anime adaptation i'll probably bet you they don't even contribute a penny to the studio or manga and just whining on how they wasted 24 minute of their life on watching or reading the manga

I knew it. Hakuryuu is voiced by Kuroko's seiyuu.
Didn't expect that twist in the end... where he wants to destroy his own empire.

And lol at Mor for the gauntlets. So cute.
