I really enjoy Magi, both the anime and manga, the best series I discovered this season. Though I agree this episode has lazy animation to the point I got irritated. The passing is fine, but I just wish that the anime did a better job with the cool scenes shown in the manga, Alibaba get degraded again :/

I believe we saw violence, we saw nipples too, so, where's the problem with it airing at 17:30? Didn't FMAB air at 17:30 too?

Regarding the animation, yes it was worse this episode but that's fine with me. Still pretty good animation and that derp-faces, I think they're doing it on purpose

good episode


Guts, known as the Black Swordsman, seeks sanctuary from the demonic forces attracted to him and his woman because of a demonic mark on their necks, and also vengeance against the man who branded him as an unholy sacrifice. Aided only by his titanic strength gained from a harsh childhood lived with mercenaries, a gigantic sword, and an iron prosthetic left hand, Guts must struggle against his bleak destiny, all the while fighting with a rage that might strip him of his humanity.

I loved this episode. The action was good, and I enjoyed Alibaba's back-story. And as a bonus Aladdin's staff attack, GO! I really hate fat, greedy royalty! Though I can't say I'm not greedy myself, and I'm pretty sure if you, the one reading this, if you thought about it your greedy yourself. But there is just something about this kind of royalty that just plain as day, piss me the F*CK OFF! If only I knew how to upload pictures so I can make a middle finger towards that guy. Now, maybe I should work on becoming, less greedy. Yeah, I think thats good, since I don't want to be one of those @ssholes! Middle fingers UP!

Best moment of the whole episode.I have to agree comedy wise. However the best was the following,

and really both together is what made the episode. In fact it's a balance of drama/action/comedy. Whom really surprised in its rather execution.

SFX wise Alibaba pyrotechnical show from the GIF was detailed enough to see the flames well.

The episode did wise of showing:

his powers to the point of Morgiana's surprise of his strength.

Saving those people through kind words and power of love... well, no thank you.
And in terms of character decisions and personalities it was pretty bad episode also - Sindbad sudden softening of heart on the roof where he was trying to join Shadow Troupe was worst of it. Mockery! I mean, what the hell? Someone is joking, right? That couldn't work from the start.

Again, a poor and a failure attempt to write an Arabic-similar script for a note.. -_-" the writing looks like some deformed Arabic letters to look like Hindi writing. Comparing (Yakitate!! Japan) and (Hanasakeru Seishounen) they both contained proper writing.

Anyways, I guess its useless to discuss such details.

P.S. Aladdin acted so mature hitting Alibaba's head. Hilarious moment.

Another pretty good chapter. Sindbad is a cool cat.

overpowered bishounen dude arriving on scene. I never like those characters and it seems this one wont be the exception.

Great episode, I now understand why Alibaba joined the Troupe and that Kassim isn't so bad after all. Sinbad is a badass and a truly interesting character, I'm glad and shocked that he wants to join the troupe. I enjoyed the Alibaba and Sinbad fight but Alibaba had no chance against Sinbad, he's not experienced as much as Sinbad has yet. Still, Alibaba put up a fight. I absolutely loathe that fat king, is he Alibaba's brother or something? I'd love to see that fat king destroyed. Anyways, great episode can't wait for the next one!

So I'm guessing that the Kou empire is sort of like the source of all the chaos in the world. . . It makes you wonder why the princess that Alibaba met is so self-righteous. Anyway, I think that Morgiana and Aladdin should have gone in there with Alibaba, looks like shit is about to go down.

Sinbad is so cool. He's charismatic, badass, and funny. Besides Morgiana, he's my favorite character in the show.

I hate that king. His face is so fucking ugly. GAHHHHHH I WANT TO PUNCH HIM SO BADLY!

That black-haired guy seems pretty ominous...I have a feeling he's the main antagonist but nobody knows it.

Good episode. A lot of talking but the ending piqued my interest.

7.5/10 Onto the next episode!

I still don't think Ali Babi's explanation was enough to give Kassim a slap on the wrist for his betrayal. Also Sinbad joining the gang of thieves was such a cringe scene. I haven't read the manga but hopefully the show gets better.

If someone asked me what is one word to describe Cassim it would be: Contradiction.

Cassim whines and blames the government for the death of his sister when it is truly his own fault. Why? you ask, well if cassim didn't betray alibaba, then alibaba would've been king. With alibaba as king cassim would've be treated as royalty, and his sister would still be alive. Cassim whines that he and the rest of his people were locked up in the slums and treated like trash, so he couldn't get medicine for his sister. well he is trash. He practically killed the previous king who already had one foot in the grave. Cassim is just a dumbass who unintentionally lead the people closest to him down a path of betrayal and death.

Sinbad is such a WTF character, and not in a good way. I also don't understand how Alibaba and Cassim were so suspicious of him joining their gang. After their crushing defeat, they had nothing left to lose at that point, and yet they were still being difficult about his offer to join. That really made me go WTH.
