nauticalblue said: Meh, I don't really care for the new OP, but oh well. I'm surprised by how much I'm liking Titus as a character already. I don't normally find myself attached to simple-minded characters, but there's just something about the fact that he's incredibly powerful as a magician but still has a sense of child-like wonder and naivete that makes him kind of endearing. I'm still a bit disappointed by how one-sided the Magi series has often made its conflicts, but I have to admit, I think this recent development is an interesting spin on some of the previously explored ideas of slavery. Don't worry about not hearing both sides, you're going to find out the reason why Magnostadt discriminates against non magicians very soon |

Despite the fact that life is complete with the sun, the land and poetry." Supreme Leader Diego(Real) (Hunter x Hunter 2011) |
| Magnostadt shows its ugly side. It's really horrible to think that 2/3 of the population is hidden underground and treated like livestock just because they are normal human beings. Marga is such a precious little girl. She's very mature for a five year old and has wonderful dreams but has to deal with death and sorrow. *sob* Leio said: If I'm not mistaken, Titus and Sphintus didn't get along instantly. Did they cut scenes from the manga? They are practically bickering at each other all the time during the episode :3 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I really like the new OP, seeing everyone from this entire arc is amazing! And I love the new ED! Alibaba and Aladdin look like they are posing for a boyband music video xD "for ever and ever with youuuu" The long scrolling image is also wonderful to look at.

| This sure was a cruel episode. I felt bad for that poor little girl. She's so damn cute. |
| I'm not a fan of the new OP and ED, I found Labyrinth's OP's and ED's much better than this |

I'm still a bit disappointed by how one-sided the Magi series has often made its conflicts, but I have to admit, I think this recent development is an interesting spin on some of the previously explored ideas of slavery. Obviously the villians of the villians is Al Theman, and right now the magicians seem like asswipes. But the next part is gonna be the part in the manga where I had trouble picking a side. |

| Best episode yet, in the best arc of the story imho. A touching episode with the kid, and a really nice cliffhanger. I'm looking forward to the next episode. Marzan said: What a despicable society. Yet an interesting point of view from the deepest realm of society. I loved this episode. |
 |
| Holy crap, what a shitty city. I got excited at the end when Aladdin and Titus went to save Marga. Can't wait for next episode! |
| Hmm..what ancient civilization would we classify this Magnostadt? Since most of the empires or important places in this city are basically re-imaginations of former civilizations. Like how Kou is China and Lem is Rome. Perhaps something like ancient India with a harsher caste system? Besides that, Titus kinda annoyed me at first but he's alright if he can leap into a bottomless abyss and save a cute innocent girl. Looking forward to next episode! |
| Well the calm, dick Titus in school must be a facade. Also I wonder if Lady Shezrazdre gives him rukh. |
| This episode made me cry. The way they were treating the people of that underground city...SHAMEFUL! The BGM was perfect in this episode as well. Liked the OP and ED too. Sent with Mal Updater |

| Does Titus and Sphintus have Djinn Equip??? Looks @ Op song |
| Why is Hakuryuu next to Judal in the new OP?!?! Please dont die Hakuryuu!!!! |
 |
AnimeFan500 said: Does Titus and Sphintus have Djinn Equip??? Looks @ Op song No. Magicians can't have Djinn's or household vessels because the natural flow of magic contradicts with that of a Djinns. The guys in the OP are someone else ;) |
| Oh my so cruel. But i guess you can say this is better compared to being a slave, but not that much better. I like Titus surprisingly o.o i like how he's so simple minded and gentle. Therefore i rewatched episode 13 and i was shocked about how prejudice i was. He behave almost the same but its just that he was portray in a bad light. |
| The video of the new OP gets me so hyped and excited about what's about to come. It was nice finally getting to see the dark side of Magnodst. |

| still wonder the objective of sinbad... I like his character but it seem he has good goal but using wrong method o.0 |
| So did I miss something or did Titus just do a complete back flip as a character, like what happened to all those guys that were following him? |
| The many suffer for the few. Yeah a solid example of how human societies always end up working. Izanai said: Dustoff122 said: i am starting to wonder was Titus a goi seeing that he acted so amazed by the simple things. The episode itself was awesome Nope, he's not a goi but you will find out later why those simple things were amazing to him. :3 It seems to me he is like a creation of that Magi woman or something like that. So basically life as a human in general is a new thing to him. At least that is the impression i got. |
Monad said: It seems to me he is like a creation of that Magi woman or something like that. So basically life as a human in general is a new thing to him. At least that is the impression i got. Maybe she used life magic or transformed him from some animal. But I doubt these versions Or he can be a magi, too. We don't know how magis are born, after all: do they just appear in this world? Then it's not surprise Titus looks like an adult but has no experience at all: Scheherazade instead looks like a child, but she is said to have lived for hundreds of years! So in fact she should have a ton of wisdom, like druids. The point is their birthmarks: it's not a coincidence. For example, Ren Hakuryuu, Ren Gyokuen and Ren Hakuei have birthmarks on their faces that are placed on the same place for all three of them. So they (Scheherazade and Titus) are probably relatives: sibling magis? And maybe Scheherazade is not interested in telling Titus that he is a magi, because she wants to use him as her servant and tool (remember how cold she was when Titus was telling her about his impressions and new experience?). What she told Titus about him may be all a lie (they do have Colosseum in her country, so she's not an angel) But that's just speculations |

| how can i rate it more than 10? |
| Here it is, the dark side of Magnoshutatt! Damn, all of the Djinn users in there... and Alibaba! Hell yeah. |

| New opening is equally lovable! You know what? Imo, Magi is actually the best fantasy manga when it comes to staying true to it's plot, it's even better than Fairy Tail (which is my most fav. ever) but can't surpass it - Why? Simply coz I am too attached to that, and it's characters. Titus is a neko and child lover, he's so unexpected. I felt so bad for that girl... Such a messed up world... |
 |
| Surprisingly amazing song choices for the new OP and ED, imo they rival the first batch. Magi season 2, you have exceeded my expectations once again. Great ep. |
| I feel bad for all those people :( |
My Candies:     |
| Titus is totally winning me over! Nice episode! |
 |
| Dat ViViD opening song. Love it! As for the plot, can't say I didn't expect it after what happened on the pirate arc. |
| Titus personality is cute. New op and ed <3.the 5th district is too fucked up. |
| If you want everything you'll end up with nothing. |
| What an amazing episode and damn that ending :@ Really great but sad at the same time! Nice new OP and ED but well let's see what happens next! |
 |
| Hmm which is better: live as a slave for the rest of your life or live like livestock? :/ |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
xchee said: Hmm which is better: live as a slave for the rest of your life or live like livestock? :/ The second of course. You don't have to do any work Of course that's a straight road to degradation but... it's not like slave's life is much more cultured |
|
| I knew it was to good to be true for this city to work all without slaves and everyone being happy and stuff. |
| Very nice. Magnostadt episodes are the most interesting imo. I like new OP. |
| Damn, this was a really nice episode despite the lack of action. It was really interesting to see what Magnostadt is truly like and what the rift between the magicians and common people was. Poor Marga, she makes this episode so touching to watch. Titus is actually a nice guy afterall huh and I can tell he's lived a very similar way to these people. |
 |
| I knew it! I knew Magnostadt had to be doing something F'ed up! I feel bad for that little girl, hopefully Aladdin and Titus are able to successfully save her, other wise she would have a pretty sad life. |
 |
| Didn't care much for the little girl in the manga but the anime made much more of an emotional impact with the end of the episode. That magician who threw her off is an asshole. |
| Fuck it. Every signature I upload ends up removed anyways. |
| Nice new opening and ending, though that's some fucked up country. Hope they change soon the way it works and kick some magician's ass. |
 |
| Great new OP and ED! |
 |
| According to the new intro, it seems that Titus and the little girl (Marga?) are going to have importance in the rest of the season, I'm eager to see how this continues :) |
 |
| NEW OP IS AWESOME ~ !!! As well as the new ED ~ .. I love them both <3 . Sharing the same vocations for one thing . Benefits and toll of Citizenship . 5th Level Authorization District . Melancholy of the destitute . |

| This episode was really well made. The discrimination present in the Magnostadt is brutal and cruel, and that the goi of the 5th Level are basically used like livestock to make the magic objects works is horrifying. Glad that they saved Marga at the end. I really felt for her. I'm liking Titus, he is totally different of what I imagined and is a really nice guy. But his conversation with Scheherezade this episode makes me think he would suffer. I'm loving the interactions between Aladdin, Titus and Sphintus, to a point I'm not even missing Alibaba and Morgiana. I love the new OP. Full of spoilers and with action sequences, apart that I like the song. Just the type of openings I like for battle shonens. The new ED is okay. |
 |
| Who could have imagined that such horrible things were happening under that fake paradise... The new OP song is awesome! |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Damn, of course there is a downside to all the fancy magic tools which are making the lives of the residents easier. But I didn't think it would be that bad, wonder how Aladdin will handle this situation. |
| honestly the first time I've disliked an OP due to spoilers |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| ok this mage nation has to be wipped out of existance |
