From what I read in Japanese forum it seems it will be an anime original ending in ep.25 the last episode.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Well damn! A-1 Pictures completely ruined the anime adaptation of an awesome shounen battle manga. From what I've heard, it just doesn't do the manga justice. Skipping way too many chapters and deviating too much from the manga. I just don't get A-1. They did an awesome job with AnoHana but shits all over Ao No Exorcist, Sword Art Online and now Magi. Magi Anime could have been so much better. A studio like Bones would have been better. Grrrrr. I haven't exactly read the manga yet, just waiting till the anime finishes so that I won't feel as pissed off. I mean, I still enjoy it without knowing what happens in the manga but I just hate it when things change heaps in the anime compared to the original source material.

Lol.

But seriously, they should've ended it at the Blbadd arc with a few completely unrelated fillers in the middle of the series instead of cutting out some stuff and destroying the Zagan arc. Given the manga's popularity that would've allowed them a good, faithful second season somewhere in the future.
It also seems like A-1 really don't know how to handle action as SAO, Ao No Exorcist and now Magi are all really bad.

It is NO LIE. The proof is from a page of the anime magazine Animage, which has the synopsis of the last episode, which I put it in the spoiler of my post. The reason I mentioned Japanese forum is because the comments said that the synopsis indicates it is an anime original ending. As I did not read the manga, I want to make it clear the thought that the synopsis indicates an "anime original" ending comes from comments I read in Japanese forum. But those who have read the manga should be able to tell if the synopsis means an anime original ending.

The scan at the bottom of the page in the link is precisely the scan of the anime magazine Animage that is being circulated around Japanese forum. NO LIES.

Uh huh... After this there is no chance of a second season..after all the stuff happening kind of contradicts the facts.
So it's really true? Oh god.. Sounds awfully done. Not to mention how they are completely trashing Alibaba's character, do they think that's okay? I'd rather see him replaced by some anime original than this, since he's already OOC as hell.
Oh yeah, and what about Dunya? What's the point in adding her in at all if they are just gonna do this?

Well Im done xD I needed to vent real bad.. Is there still even little hope that this won't happen?

Please just follow the Zagan manga ending, although it would be an eternal cliffhanger

If they end at Zagan arc normally means we could have a second season but now, definitely no.

True shit. I've enjoyed all of them, Ao no Exorcist, Sword Art Online, and Magi, but it's only pretty much decent when it could be a whole lot much better. Sigh. They're still good compared to the other one, thank to the authors' interesting concept and awesome world building, the lacking part would be the executing, hmm..

Lol. Is it that hard to adapt an anime following the manga?

By the way, it's still not confirmed yet to be 25 episodes? Will the anime goes beyond 25episodes?

I believe you have already found your answer (that it is confirmed to have only 25 eps) as I see you posted in this thread http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=568163&pages=2&show=20#msg20534557

If I didn't like A-1 before, I sure as heck don't now! I never will understand what goes on in the heads of anime companies willing to ruin a perfectly good manga's reputation with what once was a potential anime adaption at first. A-1 has butchered Magi enough, and now it just seems like the manga scanlations can't come out soon enough to ease my disappointment of the adaption. Way to go A-1.

I was thinking of trying to ease past the terrible animation, huge ass teeth, and A-1's name just in case this became a long runner.

Fuck it, I'm going to join the manga fanbase instead.

Also, we're all here sad about the Ao no Exorcist and SAO adaptions, but do you guys remember Black Butler? They bombarded that with fillers and a full second season of filler. Not the first time they fucked up, this definitely won't be the last.

I wish companies would quit compressing good mangas into short series. I haven't read the manga (yet) but I can tell that the anime messed up a lot. Another series I loved was ruined for the same way, especially the ending.

But I cannot hate the production team. After all they did Oofuri and also doing Uchuu Kyoudai.

Welp, I saw this coming. Whenever A-1 and Aniplex team up, this always seems to happen (looks at Ao no Exorcist). Two of the best up and coming shounen series that got completely and utterly disrespected and destroyed by A-1 and Aniplex which is just sad to see.
