Where was that mentioned? 5 or 6 episodes left... hmm...

It's just speculation. If I remember correct, there was a discussion in previous episode discussion about Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 is going to take the TV time slot in April.
Now it looks like it's going to have a alternative ending, so I assume that Magi is ending soon. But of course, I could be wrong.


Oh I see. Yeah I heard about that.
Hopefully it is just going on a break. Well, we will soon see I guess. c:


why would they rush the whole manga in 25 episodes when its popular

lol

Well, the episode seemed fine to me... as a person who has not read the manga. But from what I'm hearing, A-1 butchered this badly.

It was doing great until the Sindria arc. Then they properly butchered it since it looks like it'll be ending in a month or so. I'm most disappointed at how they skipped the fat Alladin/Alibaba since it was pretty funny in the manga. But this latest episode.....yeah they really went all in on this.

Dissapointed. They cut out the Balbadd kingdom's former king part and they reveal the part with Sinbad and Alibaba too early.


I know right...well I don't mind it THAT much that they didn't put in the former king's part. It doesn't hurt the anime to not have it, but it would've definitely made it better just because we get to see what happened with the kind and his brother. Having them appear again would show that the author didn't just throw her characters away after she's done with them. But I guess it would too much work because they would have to make up the Toran language in order to have that part :/

I think most of us manga fans would love for that to happen, but it probably won't ever happen, unfortunately. Oh well, the anime seems to be popular anyways.

Complaints aside, this episode was better than last week's, in my opinion. Aladdin is so cute <3 (when he touched Pisti's goodies LOL) I also loved the part where Morgiana used her anklets, and then it resulted in tangling Aladdin and Alibaba XD And loving Hakuryuu, they really chose the right seiyuu for the job. Hm, I'm not sure, but I feel like the Zagan arc is only to going to last 2-3 episodes... :(

If people can stop complaining on how the anime isn't faithful to the manga it would be great. This is nothing new.

Not a bad episode for me. Sure, they changes stuff but it can't be helped. They are short on budget. I just hope they will make the ending acceptable.

Total garbage... Animation quality in this episode was a new low.. Felt like it was rushed to hell and never came back.

This is one of the only shows that I liked this season and the last 3 episodes basically killed it for me.. Animation quality just went up in smoke, from what I hear the show is decently popular in japan why did they cut its budget like crazy?

Story has basically gone nowhere.. Character development was looking super promising the first 8 or so episodes and just stopped developing at that point. The flow feels like it goes in spurts.. the music director should be fired for this AWFUL soundtrack..

Rushed episode. They basically cut the part where Alibaba would meet ahbmad and the other prince.

While i still enjoyed this episode, it's obvious that A1 is not that much faithful in this adaptation. I would probably just judge this shit by it's own merits without comparing to the manga.

On a serious note, I hope this is the last popular series A-1 shits upon. They should just make five versions of Vividred Operation per season to satisfy their needs.

lol


No one said they may rush the whole manga into a 25 episode adaption. That's impossible. And popularity doesn't exactly deem the outcome of a show's duration. Whether or not they have the budget for it, there are still anime companies that make changes to adaptions. There are some good, popular manga out there that have short anime adaptions; too short to contain the entire story and they settle for an anime exclusive ending. Besides... Magi, the manga, is still ongoing and doesn't look like it will end anytime soon. If no fillers will be included to ensure a similar ending in the long run, then ending the anime with its own ending separate from what the manga will intend, is what happens a lot with some anime and it is a possibility here, but we don't know yet! We'll just have to wait and see what happens to the anime of Magi by the time its TV time slot is taken up by Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 come April.

it seems like the animation quality has improved. or did i just imagine that?
and the music was great. last week it was just distracting and didn't fit at all, but this week's music was really nice. first of all the dramatic one when sinbad was getting cursed and then the oriental one when they were talking about the dungeon.

which leads to my second point: finally a new dungeon! and hakuryuu is joining the trio. i'm really excited about the next episode! :)

and i have to admit that i'm kind of glad that i haven't read the manga yet. every week people are complaining how bad the anime gets (and just look at the poll, woah ôo) and how much they skipped and yes, a lot of parts felt rushed, even for me, but i'm still enjoying it because i don't know about the manga.

and i can't imagine magi as a short show. even though i haven't read the manga (as i just mentioned), i feel that it has a lot of potential. i really hope for more seasons (and i think it's not very unlikely because the anime seems to be popular).

Unfortunately this adaptation is pretty much FUBAR. Dammit if only they'd ended it after Balbadd. At least it would be a better ending than whatever anime original plot they have brewing.

This Hakuryuu seems like a nice guy, but he does look like a psycho. I guess he'll betray them in the end and then we'll have super battle X with a shitty ending...
This could've been so much better, everything just feels fucked up here.
Also, I haven't read the manga for those wondering about that.

Is it me remembering the chronology of events wrong or did they just skip the talk between alibaba and kougyouku? That was my favorite part of the sindria-arc ):

I deleted my post to watch the episode first then comment, but either way things just don't make sense anymore, who knows what BS A-1 are gonna pull off

Having just seen the episode, it seems that nothing has changed since I dropped the anime, the time-line has literally been fucked-up and they keep deleting stuff they deem irrelevant and unnecessary.

People are exaggerating their negativity way too much. At this point the story-line of Magi is still at it's beginning, unfortunately the anime will be cut short. Therefore something had to be altered. I think the anime still works despite something are different.

The changes for this episode for those who are interested:

Alibaba had training in sword fighting, why is he so useless now?
I liked how the three friends sat together, thinking, talking and helping each other.


I actually didn't think that episode was rushed and I quite liked it.
I'm sorry if the manga-readers don't think so.
