There are two parts in this episode that I didn't get, both to do with Jamil.

1) In the scene before the OP, he gets attacked by weird yellow monster things. He obviously defeats them off-screen, then we next see him when he arrives in the final room - angry and horrified at what has just transpired. What was the point of including all that? He seems fine again shortly afterwards. Was it just a device to facilitate the fight between Alibaba and Jamil? Or can it perhaps be attributed to my second question...

2) When the dungeon is falling apart, and Goltas carries off Jamil, Jamil looks like he's gone completely insane. Was this just a result of being rejected by Aladdin (the king-maker)? Was it really that shattering, or did he lose his marbles due to a culmination of events?

The fast pacing of this story is really throwing me off at some places.

They didn't portray it as strongly as they did in the manga.
The monsters originally were a lot more bigger in size, and they were coming in waves.

And as for the second one, I'm just assuming that since he lead a life where everyone was scared to oppose him, he wouldn't be used to taking harsh criticism. So when Aladdin said that Jamil wasn't fit to be a king, it shook him. All his life, everything he has done was to get him to become a king. With Aladdin saying that, it made everything he had done seem useless.

Thanks, that helped to clear up the ambiguities for me. A lot of the stuff in this show is surprisingly hard to process at a first watch xD

Yup, they didn't portray as strongly as they did in the manga but not just what Shyolk mentioned. In manga,
For your question 2, there're narrations about his past in manga, not just those you see in anime.

I hated the fact that the slave girl didn't kill the master at first, if it was me he would have been dead quick. The pacing was quick but it was still a enjoyable episode.

It's like middle east, the world map is very different but the cultures are quite similar to our world: Chinese, Roman, Arabian, Persian, English, Chinese Nomadic culture to name a few.

I wished Ugo's head had appeared already, ah maybe next time. The black haired guy from the OP appears and his companion addressed him as Magi as well. Looks like Aladdin end up somewhere in Mongolia or someplace like it.

That was a great episode. It ended the dungeon part and we also got to see some others that may have the same relationship as Alibaba and Aladdin, or at least some magic users. I like the story of this series, even if everything turns out as expected. I also really like the art. The series will probably continue to grow on me.

Just adapting that number of chapters in 3 episodes doesn't mean it might not be a long runner, it's actually likely to become a long runner considering it hasn't been confirmed yet and it's doing a great job in the sales and a good one in the TV rankings.

They skipped the first chapter because it had some minor characters that appear twice in the whole series and they changed the timeline of the first 4 chapters to make the main 3 characters (Aladdin, Alibaba, Morgiana) appear from the beginning because Aladdin appears in ch.1, Alibaba appears in ch.2, Morgiana appears in ch.4 (in 2-3 panels), so they wanted to give the MCs, Morgiana especially, more screentime.

The dungeon's interior was changed to make it fit Amon's abilities which is fire, they changed the spikes in the manga with fire. They skipped some stuff in the dungeon but they the animators included the important things and added some foreshadowing.

So, basically they're planning to animate 76 chapters in ~25 episodes, they're rushing the beginning to make Balbadd fit within the first 25 episodes, it's the best arc in the manga so I assume it'll decide whether they'll continue animating the arcs after it or not.

At the same time they added flashbacks too, let's not forget that both Morgiana and Alibaba have their arcs after the current arc.

Yeah... At the rate this is going the show is going to go by really quickly. IMO this is actually a show I'd be willing to watch for a long time to come. Also, I feel like they could make the episodes longer and more in depth without losing any of the original story.

Very disappointed. Going the "chosen one" route. Bad episode. Has become too clice too soon. I hope it picks up soon.
"Magi", thought the title was addressing magic in general. Turns out magi = alladin, sounds like another show that'll end up wanking the MC and making him do every main thing in the most typical ways.

But I'll stick, the fact that he has to guide someone instead of being the king himself shows hope. Unless Ali Baba turns out to be the fodder king who always comes in second.

Jamil pissed me off, unfortunately I can't see him being crushed by the boulders, I guess they can't show something so gory in this anime huh.

I read the manga after I watched every 1 episode, and the anime didn't show any of Alibaba's past -.-

A new friendship has started and what kind of one! Really interesting development, the journey continues but they're currently separated so lets see what happens with them next! It's good that they've managed to clear the dungeon and it seems Alibaba managed to gain a genie or similar as well!

First three eps felt standard. I really hope to get more backstory on morgania, and maybe a bit of shipping with her? that would be pretty cool.

all in all, I feel like i'm a little too old to be watching this... I'll see how it goes though, I am interested in Alibaba's backstory.

I bet Alibaba is going to have to give all of his treasure away to the slave owner (the one who's wine he destroyed and all the other various stuff) I'm hoping Aladdin isn't the only mage in the show.
