Well I haven't read the Manga yet, so I can't judge on how badly they're fucking the series over from the manga. I notice lots of rushing, but the show is still enjoyable for an Anime only viewer.

well i don't know why some people say that the anime as a whole sucks . when i have been reading the manga and almost everything seems the same. except for this part though in the manga im only part way into balbadd arc


There's your answer. catch up and then say the same thing if you still can. (spoiler: you won't)


but everything except for the final part of the anime seems remotely close to the manga. it not like to soul eater anime which just went way off into left feild.

Man... this episode felt so off for some reason and from reading the prior comments on here my hunch was correct. They aren't following the original story why am I not surprised? Just what are they doing? And I agree that Alibaba looks silly I just can't it serious.

are u that retardeD? they havnt been following the manga since episode 1 u ugly pathetic manga haters shouldnt have watched all the fking season to just cry every single dam week

What a ugly and disturbing commenter for you saying such things. I'm the ugly one? The irony, look in a mirror. A ugly heart spreads its disease onto others to be infected (tempted). Pathetic.


Ignore Calumz. He is a pathetic anime apologist. That's his reputation around these parts


this is a anime part of the fourm? why wouldnt i defend the anime i love i come here to see stuff about the anime people are down voting cause its not following the manga but did A1 say they would follow the manga not everyone follows the manga , i understand some of ur points but its not a bad anime , yes they changed the story and the animation was bad on some parts , but its not really that bad , ive not read the manga but if u guys didnt read the manga u would have liked this anime , even me the last couple episodes pissed me off i dont want it to end to fast and yes i do wish it stuck to the original story showed more character detail and funny cool moments but i still like the anime and it doesnt deserve all the hate but i understand most of wat the manga guys are saying and agree with it.

im actually pissed to be honest i wish the anime was longer and better could have been so much better, i hope theres a good ending and a s2, or a reboot cause the animation was down and if i like this anime with this plot the original must be epic,

sorry for the wall of next i have mixed emotions i like this anime but from wat i hear it could have been epic instead of good, wish for remake which follows the manga with good animated like wat happend to fma
yes my grammar sucks

Idk where they fucked up the anime, but many reasons.

-Bad budget
-Low sales
-Author didn't give a shit if they did an Original ending.

GG. I AIN'T EVEN MAD. I WAS LAUGHING HARD. IT'S PRETTY AMAZING HOW CAN A-1 FUCK UP THIS SERIES SO MUCH. PURE TALENT I GUESS.

>Fucked up Animation
>Skipped scenes and chapters everywhere
>Bad sequencing
>Messed up dialouges
>Did I already said horrible animation?

OF COURSE, THE NEW AND THE MOST EPIC

>ORIGINAL FILLER ENDING!!! AND NOT TO MENTION ITS A FUCKING HORRIBLE ONE.

Only A-1, only A-1 can do this. Their soooooo awesome. Awesome enough to just close down their shitty business. I think a restaurant is a better business for them.

Wooohoooo, we just got another Ao no Exorcist.

Thanks A-1 you're the best. Best troll.

If they kill off Dunya next episode then I might as well send them with some awesome threat letters.

Well considering how high it was a while a back, the fact it's fallen even this far is telling. And lots of people don't change their ratings till it's over, and a lot haven't rated yet.

It was raining blood in this episode. I don't really get why Alibaba was all "Don't feel bad for her" and then switched to "Oh no, don't die" when Isnan attacked Dunya.

See? I knew I'd be laughing my ass off watching this episode. In truth I could write quite a bit about why this week's Magi sucked but I'll just correct the Hakuryuu related stuff.
Actually, I'll have to write somewhat more if I want you to get the whole picture.


Thank you for enumerating the deviations from the manga. That pretty much explains to me the passion with which manga readers are hating this adaptation. I wish that the studio had decided to go with something much closer to canon and instead of an ass-pull anime only ending chose an appropriate arc for a cliffhanger or season arc ending instead. I'd much rather see the real manga animated than what we've got (maybe we should love bomb ufotable since they redeemed Fate with their remake).

On the other hand. those of us who haven't read the manga (or your spoiler) will probably give this a reasonably good rating based on its merits. I think that's why there is a touch of acrimony in the exchanges. Manga readers are comparing it to what it could (and should) have been, anime only folks are comparing it only to competing shows.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Really like this. Don't care about manga, so ep was ok for me. Though it's a bit strange at some parts. Loved when Hakuryuu lost his hand and Dunya's death was quite tense.
So, waiting for the filler ending. Hope, there will be the way to continue the story for s2.

Let me explain this to you.....
They legitimately took the anime and STABBED IT LIKE 4637632 TIMES until it became unrecognizable in that ending, destroying it all hopes for a Season 2, kinda like how they did that to Ao no Exorcist. But hey, they can always throw some filler Magi movie while they're at it.

.__. you Need to watch more anime.

this episode 1/10 (1 because I still think the seiyuu's does a great job, otherwise, seriously there's nothing good in this episode at all, it was f*** painful to watch, I seriously question your mental health if you voted 'loved it' without trolling.)

Since I plan to read the manga after the final episode next week, based from the comments, they basically only altered Sindria and Zagan arc viciously but the previous ones are fine?

Because I don't want to start at the beginning especially Kassim and his BOREFEST of a story but if they altered too much from the get-go then I guess I'll endure it all :-/

Trust me when I say that you should read it from the beginning. It's a completely different experience and more importantly, you get the story told the way it should be. You'll even see Kassim in a new light since his story is anything but a "borefest" as you said so eloquently. Besides, the manga is a surprisingly fast read but once you're invested in the story, it's hard to stop.

I actually really enjoyed some parts of this episode, especially the Eight Generals' fights, Dunya's back story, and Hakuryuu's struggles, but I feel like it's heading into a questionable conclusion, mostly with that whole thing with Alibaba falling from grace. I'm only partly through the manga, so I don't know how much the anime ending is deviating from its respective chapters in the manga, but it's kind of unsettling to watch.

Alibaba just looks ridiculous...

To think that I actually thought the adaption was doing fine, good even, during Balbadd. Then they go around and spring this random original ending that goes completely against Alibaba's character. Great. I sincerely thought they could have ended right at the end of the Zagan business, albeit rushed. Though really, I was used to the rush due to how they sped through the earlier chapters. I'd much rather have a rushed ending than this original ending. Personally, I thought the end of Balbadd would be the best conclusion.

I love Magi.
I am disappointed in this adaption. Some of my manga-reading friends dropped very early on because they disliked it, but I thought it was decent enough.

Now the only reason to finish watching this is that I'm so close to the end, anyway.


Reboot when?

Poor Dunya, didn't think she would be dealt with like that... Entertaining episode though, doesn't look like there's any hope left for Alibaba. I hope it ends with a complete bad guy wins ending, would love to see Alibaba lead Al Thamen to world dominance (or Sindria dominance at least) instead of Aladdin and Sinbad conjuring up some bullshit.

Well, what's ruined can't be fixed easily. It's really sad seeing Kassim hated that much, I was expecting him to get more fans, but seeing how messed up his character became I also removed him from my favorites. Way to ruin such a great character, A-1. Even after rereading Balbadd in the manga once I dropped the anime, the anime's Kassim can't get out of my head. The anime killed that arc for whoever wants to read it once again. Maybe I'll read it again a couple of months or years later after I forget the existence of this crap.

Though if Balbadd to be read by anime-only viewers, they should read it for the missing and skipped panels and changed content, namely Markkio and Aladdin & Ugo's conversation, and some other stuff that was skipped in A-1's 5-chapter per episode pace.

I know. I also really would like to know who is going to give me back the love I had for Alibaba in the manga now, that I've seen him the adaptation. I just can't seem to like him anymore. T_T
