winnie520 said: Also, I guess it would've been easier to accept the fact that all of them ended up at different places considering that going in and going out of the dungeon is pretty random. In the manga, when Aladdin and Alibaba first enter the dungeon, Aladdin arrived much earlier than Alibaba did. There wasn't any explanation for this either...but I wouldn't say that it is a plot hole but just that the dungeon is pretty weird regarding entering and exiting. And yeah, I definitely agree with hokaru that this is something to accept as a fact...that the dungeon works this way, and that's that. Because at Zagan's arc, 1idd0kun said: wishbook said: But in short, the light birds are Aladdin's power. Nope. Those light birds (the Rukh) represents the flow of life. Aladdin is able to borrow that power from the world itself, but it's not his. Additionally, when Alibaba was fighting Jamil you could see the light birds were drawn to Alibaba as well. Edit: alright, I hide it in spoiler |

fishballsoup said: i think this show is for real kids. you can't appreciate it if you are older than 10. Huh? I'm 21 and I'm loving this show :) Plus, I've already seen hints of some mature themes that might go over the heads of younger viewers. For instance, there was a poster earlier in this thread unable to comprehend Mor's conditioned loyalty to Judal. |
| Such a great episode <3 I really like the way Alibaba fights with sword, I imagined it like that from looking at the manga : D I love Judal voice, they choosen a good seiyuu for him and it's so nice to see him : D Just one more arc and Balbad will be here <3 Looking forvard to it (to more Judal xD) really much :) |

| I would love this anime if the antagonist wasn't so stupid and one dimensional >_> |

1idd0kun said: hokaru said: No, Rukh is the home of souls and is actually everywhere in the surrounding/air, it isn't drawn to Alibaba. What I ment is that due to Alibaba's kind nature the Rukh is soothed and comfortable around him.This was explained by Aladdin at some point. He can't borrow the Rukh's power since only the magi can do that, but that's a different thing. Because you said that "when Alibaba was fighting Jamil you could see the light birds were drawn to Alibaba as well", that's why I said it isn't drawn to Alibaba and it exist everywhere. 1idd0kun said: hokaru said: By what wishbook said that Rukh is Aladdin's power, this isn't wrong too. But it isn't right either. The magi can borrow the power from the Rukh (Aladdin even explicitly use the word "borrow") but it's not his. Aladdin's own power would be his magoi, the power from his own body. I didn't said this is right but it isn't wrong too, depend on how you perceive it. Just to let you know, Aladdin is being kind when using the word "borrow", he will never said he is "using" the power from Rukh. But other people said that they are able to control/use/command the Rukh. 1idd0kun said: hokaru said: It's like Alibaba use Amon's sword, so Amon is his power. No, the djinn can't manifest on their own. Alibaba's power comes from his magoi, the power inside his body. Without this power the djinn is useless. Basically, the metal vessel and djinn are just tools. |

| A Great Episode And Absolutely Loved Alibaba's Swordplay. Also Can't Wait To See The Fire Jini In Action |
 |
1idd0kun said: The scene highlights the Rukh at that moments for a reason. Go see the that scene again. Jamil notes about Alibaba's sword play, and then they show the Rukh around him getting restless. The Rukh is indeed everywhere, like you said, but it is drawn to certain kind of people. Aladdin doesn't say that out of kindness. He knows no one can't really control the Rukh because it's fate itself, and no one can control fate. Those who try to end up falling into depravity one way or another. Borrow is the right term for what the magi does. That's why I said it was a tool. |

-Akie said: And Judal appeared! And I can't wait until Sinbad's debut. I wish this could be a long running anime, but I doubt that would happen. I hope that the Balbadd arc stays faithful to the manga as much as possible though. At best this will have the same number of episodes as a short running shounen like Soul Eater. Judal*.* and If they change Sinbad´s debut Ill flip everything around me because Sinbad´s debut was the best thing after sliced bread. So funny XD |

| LOL to Alibaba being cute asking what to do to the treasure. ^_^ |
 |
| Great episode Can't wait til they go to Balbadd, that's where Magi gets interesting |
| I fucking hate that bitch.... Morgianna karate kicked Aladdin into oblivion and and pretty much KILLED Ali baba if Aladdin didn't step-in in time. And yet, they actually bothered to save her? What the fuck is wrong with them!?! Oh right, she's a girl....and im guessing Aladdin really really loves tits.... |

I don't see how she can ever redeem herself for almost KILLING her savior and for assaulting a little kid. But to be fair, she's a slave since she's little. So it must be sense of fear for the master. Anyway this show shows cliche'd shit like deaf slaves suddenly speaking and wanting to do right thing and shit like that. Still enjoyable. 3/5 |

| In the manga it is even shown that Jamil used to abuse her by pricking her arms with a knife over and over again. Good thing she's a fanalis, otherwise she's probably dead by now. Such strong control based on fear from childhood cannot be easily broken, and Aladdin knows that. He tried to reach her but failed. Only after Goltas sacrificed himself that she's finally able to let go of her fear and be free. |

| Now now that's what I call a good shounen adaptation. Don't have time to read 5pages, so I will just go straight to the points: As the first episode caught my interests, I've spent through entire 1day reading 100+ chaps of Magi, and I'd say although it does not get off the typical battle shounen track(still revolves around 2 main characters who are Aladin and Alibaba --fighting, losing and training, then fight again to win -- but it expands to many different characters through their interactions as the series progress.) The show does relate with political stuffs later on, which makes it interesting to read. A shounen show doesn't necessary aim at kids, but the people who read/watch it are diverse to many ages, such as PG-13 means 13 and older. I'm 20yrs old and I'm still attracted to Magi. Meanwhile seinen is like 17+, more mature when it contents lots of psychology, sex, violence, etc. It was a bit disappointed when they didn't show Alibaba's past, it would help audiences to realize Alibaba's position, he has his own circumstances and not just a random kid on the street with big mouth and ambitions. At least they showed some of Morgiana slavery past when she was being tortured, so we could sympathize with her situation. Imagine she's like a lion, every time someone rings the bell, she is hit. Through years and years, now with just only the ringing sound is enough to scare her. I can understand. On the other hand, it was well directed, it skipped minor things, cram several chapters into one single ep but it wasn't felt like rushing. And the animation was extremely well done, those sword fights were eye catchy, that's what a real shounen show should looks like. Music also fits the series so well. Now I can't wait to see Sinbad lol. ------------------------------- They should stop animating those weekly long run shounen stuff like narutard, fairy tails, bleach and focus on doing it seasonally. So they will have more time to care about the quality, rather than quantity. Area no Kishi was a fail adaptation, meanwhile Kuroko no Basket was so epic. And now perhaps Magi. |

| Pretty good pacing. I wonder how many episodes will the Anime have and what arc will it stop. |
Candor said: There's a whole arc about Morgiana after the Kouga arc (after next arc) you know, they'll probably speak about her past there more than just fast flash-backs, that arc had a part about her past with Jamil and Goltas in the manga too and it showed her trauma as a slave. They might talk about her past during her arc BUT it's useless if they didn't talk about it in the dungeon, |
|
| It's already 3rd episode and Yuuki Kaji - the seiyuu for Alibaba - says: "If you're scared, then cry about it at home, little man." I'm pretty sure this show won't disappoint me :) |
| Being a fan of the manga the anime idk seems to be going sooooooooooooooooo fast. The skipped those 2 girl characters in the beginning of the manga and judal already appeared? idk it seems to be going so fast. I like the anime but the manga (so far) is much better imo. |
| true. like i said its going really fast. and to see judal already i was like "woah" lol |
| Although not as strong as the previous episode, this was still quite good. The weakest aspect of the episode was the pacing, which occasionally felt a bit too rushed, particularly evident in how hastily Amon's dungeon was cleared, but, thankfully, this didn't heavily detract from the story. Though short, Alibaba and Jamil's fight was excellently choreographed and well-animated. The characters are thoroughly compelling, particularly Alibaba, and I'm looking forward to finding out more about his intriguing past. Even though they're separated at the end, the gradual development of Aladdin and Alibaba's friendship, as well as their interactions, has been handled quite well. Morgiana is a very interesting character, so I hope she finds her way back to the others soon. The introduction of Judal, another magi, was quite exciting, since it seems as though he could be the main antagonist in the future. The production values remain the strongest, most consistent element of the show, especially the animation, as it's particularly great during the action sequences. The adventurous tone of the story complements the arabian setting really well, which is essentially illuminated by the highly atmospheric music. The direction, however, wasn't up to it's usual quality, which is unfortunate, since there were several scenes of great importance that could have clearly been portrayed in a more effective manner. All in all, despite some slight flaws in the execution of the narrative, Magi continues to impress. As such, it remains highly enjoyable, and, up to this point, I'm rather satisfied with the development of the characters and the story, but I do hope it slows down slightly moving forward. |

| this episode gave me chills the look on Aladdin face when he was asking for his flute back was just epic, aslo good, that sick basterd of a lord didnt get out im i wrong for want to see he die a 1000 death because of what he did? i mean stick a sword in a child mouth of among all thing and then some (getting mad just talking about it) anyways glade to see Morgiana free at last, look like there all gonna get togetther next episode? cant wait 5/5 |
Candor said: Alibaba's and Jamil's flashbacks were narrating in the manga, narrating in anime isn't really that good of a thing, they just come out of nowhere (they did too in the manga, but it's more normal than in an anime), and no one knows their pasts to narrate and tell the tale. Jamil's flashback from Morgiana's PoV is better imo. They showed a couple scenes from Morgiana's past so they should help a abit during her arc. Well, they can introduce a narrator, just like how they did in the Hunter x Hunter 2011, I remember hearing quite a few narrations. In Fairy Tail too, there's a narrator introducing the world/kindgom and guilds (forgot if there's other narrations). I am alright with Alibaba's flashback though. |
