| Wow that ending, thing are gonna get real good next episode. also House utter? the hell was that? |
| Damn I hate cliffhangers, now I need to wait another week. Great episode, the ending was kind of expected though. Never go alone in the middle of the night. I wonder how cool the next episode will be. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Aw man heart crack moment at the end. it was so happy and then... ugh. i don't know what's wrong with this world. |
| These anime producers are awesome. They kept all the important stuff from 24 chps and adapted it in 4 eps...I don't see why someone should complain. Haters gotta Hate! |
 |
| Hope ALibaba finds Aladdin, enjoyed the tribe and I really like ALaddin himself as a character Glad they rescued the group, the fucker in the caravan, reminded me too much of Sugou from Sword Art Online (if you watched it you'd know what I mean) Hilarious seeing Alladin dinking from horse udder lulz. I was like WTF Anyways, serious note, I kinda guessed the old lady would die, literally when she was walking away I thought, lady are you gonna die? Then I thought, noooo this anime doesn't seem THAT dark, for that event to move the story along, then arrow flies and lady falls... All I could say is sorry, I Jinxed it for ya. |

| Despite it being rushed and them skipping a lot of content, I find that they've done a fantastic job to include what they have and kept everything important in it. The Manga is my current favourite and I see absolutely no problem with how they've done it so far. A few extra scenes would have been preferable, but not totally necessary. The Manga heads on this website are amazingly bitchy, please, shut up immediately, if you don't like what they've done with the adaptation DO NOT WATCH IT. Do everyone who is enjoying this Anime a favour and quit your damn whining. |
| When grandma said that she would go somewhere alone, I guess I had a feeling that might happen. When she started saying stuff she wanted to see before she dies, I knew what was coming. It's always like that. |
| Alibaba has all the girls and freed all the slaves. Morgiana and Alibaba are together at least, now there's only Aladdin left... I knew the Kou Empire were no good, kidnapping the woman from the other tribe. Toya looks a lot like Asuna from SAO lmao, found that quite hilarious. It seems like Hakuei and the blue-haired guy are the only 'good guys' out of the Kou empire. Tbh I actually didn't expect that arrow snipe. Things are gonna get intense next episode, damn can't wait! Also I lol'd SO hard when Aladdin was drinking from the horses' udder. xD |
 |
| Next ep should be great. I reckon they should have censored Hakuei's Djinn rather than make an Anime original Djinn Equip though. How is the Djinn going to talk to Ugo now? I guess as long as the equip looks good, and since it's being done by the author it should be fine. |
lindsayzzz said: I knew the Kou Empire were no good, kidnapping the woman from the other tribe. More accurately, SOME PEOPLE in the Kou Empire were no good. The princess of the Kou Empire clearly wants to stop people slavery and protect the nomad people. |
| 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. |
| Poor Granny and poor Aladdin. He is going to be devastated. Looks like war is coming next episode. |
 |
| NOOOO! (T_T) Oba-san!!! Aladdin punish that cruel guy!! |
 |
| I didnt expect the elder to die. My God. They will wage to war all right. I wanna see Aladdin on the front lines. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Another great episode, a bit heartwarming fast paced but still good and deliver important details, but It will be better if they don't cut too much I really like how grandma treat Aladdin as her child Will we see other djinn next episode ? :) |
| The pace was fast, but pretty well fit. Some people seem to be complaining about skipping some things in the manga, but let's be fair: It's pretty decent the way it is now. I believe the one thing still bugs me is the animation quality. Below average is not something to be happy about. |
 |
| ok ep I guess, a little too weak on the "serious" part |
 |
| omg Oba-san, damn those random arrows out-of-nowhere Dx "I hope granny comes back soon" so sad indeed ㅜㅅ ㅜ Loving the show so far, the pacing seems fine so far to us non manga readers. Hopefully we'll get to see Aladdin's angry face and more of Ali baba and Morgiana next week<3 |
| Oh shit the grandma died this is so sad |
 |
| I was anticipating someone to die the entire episode. Still surprised me when the Elder got shot though </3 |
"Now's the time for you to run towards the day you awaken from this dream." ~Boys be Smile |
| Phew. That was rushed as fuck. That was SAO style pacing. No use complaining, it's A-1. Ups and Downs. I hate that they didn't show Aladdin flirting with girls, that was like his trademark when it comes to girls. Where's the comedy?! :S Glad to see Touya and Hakuei! Pretty hot. |
AsuraXepher said: yaochame said: Shyolk said: Also, what was wrong with the picture of Hakuei? My guess is that the skin tones seemed different? I'm not too sure. Hint: Look at the Djinn ornament. c: Haha it was her robe. In the scene with Hakuei arriving to Kouga clan, the the right of her robe was on top then suddenly the left of her robe was on top. In the scene with Aladdin talking with Hakuei same kind of thing happened Oh and also, I don't really think the anime is being fast paced at all, it is really quite similar to the manga right now (and I HAVE read the manga). And plus, the changes they made were quite nice, like the fire in the dungeons instead of the spikes. Oh! lol But if you also look at the ornament it, it looks like the side of it changes directions from being curved up to down. |
 |
| Poor Aladdin, finally feel like he has a family but Baba got to die? >< Honestly speaking, I am not so interested in this arc than any other arcs in manga, so I don't feel this episode is being fast-paced. |
 |
| Even though I've really enjoyed the previous episodes, this was definitely a noticeable improvement. It was very well-paced, as it introduced several interesting characters and spent the majority of time focusing on Aladdin's development and establishing a singular setting, rather than chaotically shifting perspective throughout. The tone was more restrained and less comedic, but I thought it complemented the introduction of this arc really well. Although it was quite brief, Alibaba and Morgiana's opening conversation was nice. Hakuei is a rather compelling character, and it will be interesting to see which side of the approaching battle she'll fight for. Her conversation with Aladdin was an excellent moment, since it illuminated her relative understanding and compassion, while also portraying Aladdin as particularly caring and helpful. Aladdin's interactions with Baba throughout were the best element of this episode, since they provided excellent insight into the meaning of rukh and the history of their tribe, while also illustrating a familial connection that Aladdin doesn't seem to have much experience with. Though somewhat expected, the ending was still rather surprising, and a very intriguing cliffhanger to conclude the episode with. As for the production values, they were slightly less impressive throughout this episode, but, thankfully, never distracting. The animation was average, but a higher quality wasn't particularly necessary, since there was an obvious lack of dynamic sequences involved. Musically, this episode was just as excellent as the others, especially during Aladdin and Baba's moonlit conversation, which was fantastic. All in all, Magi satisfies considerably with an improved episode, and, hopefully, this heightened sort of coherency within the story indicates a more consistent execution of the narrative moving forward. |
 |
| Good episode. :) |
| Dies Irae! :) |
| This is really a land of magic.... they're milking horses and I can't believe Aladdin was breast feeding from the horse. LOL Nice episode... didn't saw the end coming. I bet it was the cruel soldier. I've just read chapter 5 in the manga... I'm far away from this aren't I? |
InfiniteDestiny said: Sigh...the manga hardcore fans will continue to complain, i can see the flames coming already... People should learn one simple concept, since it applies to all adaptions, things get summarized, even the best of adaptions, i would rather have this fast paced summary of main points then have a dragged out Shounen like the Big 3, besides why don't you seriously ask yourself what was left out that was truly essential Imo, the only way an adaption will fail is if it does not have any entertainment value at all and the source was great. So far, the only time I've ever been let down by an adaption thet I've read the source for is with the Elfen Lied anime. Even if I were to have read the manga prior to watching this, I highly doubt I would be disappointed with what I'm seeing. As for this episode, I enjoyed it. Wasn't expecting that ending though. Poor Baba. :'( |
| Ehh I'm pretty glad I never read the manga first... or I would have been really really unhappy that they rushed the anime so much... Ah well anyway sad that baba was shot... |
PervisumChaos said: Because no one will believe you except maybe the anime-only viewers. You should look around you, their are plenty of people who read the manga and enjoy the anime just fine, may they feel that its a little fast paced? sure, are they called it the worse adaption ever in terms of pacing? that would only be you. You need to realize something which is clear as day you are the minority. Plenty of people like this anime, and they haven't even reached the Balbadd arc yet, you should look at how other adaptions were adapted before you start making exaggerated statements and expect anyone to actually take you seriously. |
 |
| What a way to put that cliff hanger... I like that old woman! D: I have never read the manga, but I thought it paced so well to get to the key points without any confusion. :X |
 "Everyone go love Cyan!" |
| NOOO NOT GRANNY |
 |
| I can already tell that I'm going to be glued to the screen whenever Morgiana and Alibaba are on it at the same time. Also, I heard Magi was confirmed to be 4-cour, so chill the fuck out. |

PervisumChaos said: Please, I have yet to see a person who reads both the manga and anime disagree with the fact the directing is awful and extremely rushed. From the various Japanese forums I visit, there are a lot of manga fans in Japan who think the anime is fine and the directing is ok (although there are also a lot who don't like the adaptation). Almost all agree that it is really rushed though. |

I've read the manga and I really like the adaption. That said, I wouldn't say the directing is "wonderful" at the moment, but I'm sure it will get better once they slow down and get to the Balbadd arc. In my opinion, I believe we should just wait and see a majority of the show before we label it a bad adaption. This is only episode 4 of a possibly 26 episode anime. I think there is still a chance for the show to redeem itself to those who aren't fully supportive of the adaption within the remaining episodes. |

I think there is still a chance for the show to redeem itself to those who aren't fully supportive of the adaption within the remaining episodes. No problem, I wasn't labelling it a bad adaptation, I was simply saying that the directing being so rushed isn't very good on which InfiniteDestiny seems to continually disregard and attack people who think so every episode discussion. I was only adressing that for these episodes, I wasn't judging the series overall. :) Edit: Before I get any misunderstandings, I think this is a great adaptation! As of yet of course, my only problem is the directing which I don't like in paritcular because I haven't seen anime where the directing has done anything like this and so though a "unique change" it's something I don't like (for now of course, when the Balbadd arc comes, hopefully it'll change). The music, voice-acting, especially the animation and of course the plot and character designs are all great for me. I just don't like the directing which seems to be an opinion of which is not allowed. Ah, I see. Now I can easily agree with you on the matter of it feeling rushed. But that never exactly stopped me from enjoying every episode thus far. haha Nevertheless, it has started to slow down bit by bit. C: |
