----------------------------------------


This was a nice episode imo as Morgiana makes her return. I didn't like how some of the slaves were treated like that from the beginning though as it was cruel. I think what Morgiana's childhood life was cruel as well based on that dream. Poor girl ;.;

I loved when she was throwing those punches and being a boss.

Tbh, she's a dangerous girl when you piss her off. Nice episode overall, 5/5.

So the first chapter of the manga still exists in the storyline just skipped, Great episode 5/5. They really captured Morgiana intensity in this episode but felt her desperation to break out of the lock wasn't displayed as strongly as it did in the manga but ehh minor details.

FINALLY, next week Magi's most badass character appears, hope they don't take out his most infamous scene (those who read the manga know what I am talking about).


Also the beginning of the long awaited Balbadd arc. Hope they finally start to slow down.

if they keep the pace, then balbadd will end way before reaching 24 episodes. This show, though, is getting freaky with all the bishonen

Great episode and it went according to the manga, so no problems here :D Even the caravan girls appeared here which is good since they weren't completely omitted.

5/5 loved it xD Mor in action!

Ya minor details, most likely they changed it so that Mor's arc can fit in 1 episode. The shackles in manga is like made of steel, Mor could only break the lock of it, and causes her ankles to bleed. In anime, the shackles is made of wood (lock is of metal though) and she just went to break the whole thing.

Oh oh, next episode Sinbad ^o^ I guess they wouldn't remove the part, since in the preview, Ja'far tell him to wear clothes and Alibaba is like "Nanka sugoi no Kita!"(someone amazing has came/appeared). So I think they wouldn't remove xD

Just when I thought this anime couldn't get any better it does. Morgiana was so epicness in this episode kicking the thieves, Slave Master and those Sabertooth Tigers asses. I though she never had a soft side to her until she met that girl, Morgiana has really matured. I loled when they showed Aladdin would have never expect him to be locked up. This episode was so just full of win 5/5.

Another good episode. I am really getting into this, I can see why it is popular.

Looking forward to them getting back together, and seeing what new characters come along.

Otherwise, slaves and such aside I only have one thing to say.

Those poor Tigers :'(.

NOW THAT'S what being a BOSS means ( leaned something kirito?)

i think that not reading this manga might have been one of the worst mistakes in my life
at last iread the 1000 arabian nights when i was little, so i can begin to imagina a cool book character like sinbad would be in anime(with magic and powers, yeah!)(7 times a dungeon clearer, wow when they were seas it was already amazing)

i hope this runs longer than naruto, atleast over 100 eps

This was a really good episode, due, in large part, to the focus on Morgiana throughout, which was quite welcome, since she's a thoroughly compelling character and, up until this point, the only one with minimal development. Also, due to the solid pacing and intense action sequences, it was definitely one of the more engaging and enjoyable episodes.

I greatly enjoyed the heightened level of insight into Morgiana's past, since it illustrated a necessary element to her characterization. As such, the intermittent flashbacks to said past were very well-utilized, as they allowed for an effective portrayal of the difficulty she found in her attempts to shed the psychological chains that had continued to restrain her.

The moment Morgiana began to recite the immense amount of suffering that was inevitable once she and the girl were forced into slavery in such an emotionless manner was quite revealing, as it deftly illuminated how deadened her emotions gradually became due to the suffering she endured throughout the cruelty of her previous enslavement. I liked that she finally joined Aladdin and hopefully they'll find Alibaba soon, since their interactions as a group should be fantastic. Also, Aladdin's unexpected reappearance was hilarious.

The animation was great, especially during the majority of Morgiana's impressively brutal action sequences. On the other hand, the music is highly inconsistent in it's effectiveness, as, once again, there were several particularly jarring selections used throughout, displayed most evidently in the conversational scene between Fatima and the thief and Morgiana's subsequent attack.

All in all, Magi has improved considerably throughout the last three episodes, particularly in regards to the execution of the narrative, in which it has begun to excel at. Hopefully, due to the likelihood of a more gradual, relaxed pace throughout the eagerly-awaited Balbadd arc, the excellence of the material won't begin to diminish once Yoshino returns to handling the story. Judging by the momentary preview for the next episode, I'm really looking forward to Sinbad's introduction.

Hm... Mor finally makes her reappearance. It was so sweet of her to protect that little girl and comforting her during their first encounter. Weird how they didn't put in the first chapter as an episode where Aladdin meets Sahsa and Leila. It would be confusing to the anime-only viewers so I suggest reading the manga as well. Considering how the opening shows Hakuryuu, I think the anime would surpass over 25+ episodes. It needs a lot of time to get thorough with the Hakuryuu arc and how he
. Next episode is going to show Sinbad, huh?

Best episode of the series so far in my opinion! Morgiana is a really interesting character, and boy does she kick ass! Nice to see Aladdin make a quick appearance, I didn't think he'd show up. Now all we need is for them to catch up with Alibaba again and then the main gang can really start their adventure! Really interested in seeing what happens next.

Uh, not sure about this ep. Maybe I was distracted by other great shows or something. To me everything that happened in this ep was way too smooth. Morgiana was too badass. Somehow I can accept Aladdin being badass, or Alibaba, but not Mo-san. Maybe I need to get used to her not being slave anymore... Oh and that Goltas... come on dude, rest in peace already (×_×;)
But other than that, It was too predictable. During the whole ep it felt like I know what will happen in next few minutes and few mins later I was seeing exactly what I expected. The only thing I haven't predicted is that Mo-san will be poisoned. Overall, previous episodes was more enjoyable.

BTW I missed something. Isn't Mo-san was heading to her homeland? Why all of a sudden she is going to Balbadd?

She was going to Balbadd since that's the only place where there's a ship heading for her homeland.

Not sure if that was explained yet, but it doesn't really matter. In Balbadd there are suppose to be some ships going to her homeland. Probably next episode should make things clear.

The action was great XD Nice to see it animated. I felt that in the manga it was more emotional though.

Morgiana is way too fucking awesome!!! The action sequences were amazing and the music was perfect. I loved it when Golta's 'appeared' and told Morgiana that she's free and that there's nothing in this world that can chain her down. That scream of hers was intense shit! The way she beat those tigers was so cool omg. :D Morgiana sure had a very cruel past. Jamil is such a douchebag even as a kid.

LOL! Aladdin was chained up as well. I love how lots a people know who Aladdin, the slaves and the caravan people. Aladdin sure loves boobies lmao!! Finally Morgiana and Aladdin and together again, now Alibaba just needs to return. Sinbad next episode. Man am I excited.

The whole Goltas thing was created by Aladdin I believe, since he's there. So I felt like Aladdin believes in Mor that she could break her invisible chains if he pushed her a bit. (And he spectated the whole event, cause theres no way he could let that child eaten alive, I think the manga mentioned about this but I didn't remember though).

Anyway, excellent episode, this is what modern shounen looks like, great job there A-1, wish SAO could be more like this. Flawless and smooth animation. And it followed the manga pretty much. So next ep we will meet Sinbad, lol yay

No, Aladdin didn't even know she was there. Goltas appeared because his Rukh is always looking out for Morgiana. Aladdin has nothing to do with it.

No, the manga doesn't say anything like that. He didn't know the little girl was going to eaten.

Overall another great episode. Few moments of drop in animation quality and abrupt pacing for me. There was that one awkward moment where Mor was smiling (which I thought was weird) while fighting the thieves. I also agree that the scene with Mor getting out of her chains was more intense in the manga.

But other than that, it was mostly great animation and directing in this episode. I admit I got a little emotional especially during the flashbacks. Speaking of that, they did a great job with capturing the emotion. I even cringed inside when seeing Mor getting abused by Jamil. But is it just me or does it look Jamil was wearing makeup during those flashback scenes o_o

Highlight is seeing Mor being BA :D And her smiling <3

Can't wait for next episode especially the infamous scene with Sinbad xD

Definitely 5/5.

Even though they skipped the part in the very beginning of the manga, the anime changed it so that it still made sense in this episode (Aladdin meeting with those two caravan girls). I thought it was quite smart of the anime producers.

Really liked the action from Morgiana this episode! But what I find weird is Aladdin's nickname for her, I was expecting it to be pronounced "Moru" or something but it ended up being "Mo-san".
