They put lots of shows on their plate and they end up half-assing mostly everything they touch.
Well even if they're not doing a lot of shows, SAO is taking all of their resources, it's the show that is milking money the most, why wouldn't they put all their money and effort in it? Luckily 3 weeks are left and hopefully the animation for Magi, Shinsekai Yori, and Uchuu Kyoudai will improve, although the last one doesn't need any improvement.


What? SAO is taking all of their resources? Why is the animation of SAO still sucks then? :o
Suguha's boobies? No, seriously speaking, have you watched last week's episode? You can rarely see any derp-faces, the choreography was also top-notch, especially Kirito's fight against those guards. The episode was really well-made animation-wise. The money that was put in Sugu's boobies when she saved Kirito alone could've made this episode of Magi way better than it is now.

This show has some of the ugliest character designs I've seen.....the king was drawn worse than the peasants.
The point of these designs is to hate them as looks and personality, to show them no sympathy. Wait until you see Banker's face, that guy has a more creepy face than Abhmad. If you're curios here's his face:

Though generally speaking, Magi has better looking antagonists than main characters imo, Fatima, Jamil, Kassim, and Judal, in addition to the future antagonists that will appear at the end of the current arc and in the next arcs, have better designs than let's say, Alibaba and Aladdin or the future characters. But A-1 Pictures keep ruining this show and these characters. -_-

I agree that the last episode was great. There are hardly any mistakes animation-wise. But what about the last last episode? And the one before that? The thing is SAO's animation is too inconsistent. Magi's animation was fine and stable until this episode. This episode was shit in animation department in my opinion. SAO ain't taking all of their resources. If we're talking about the stability of an average animation then it's - Uchuu Kyoudai > Magi ≥ SAO > Shinsekai Yori. I don't even think that they knew the real value of SAO and how can they make a lot of money if they just focus on it.

Really? I actually see the animation in SAO is the best between the works by A-1 Pictures. Well Kirito has some derp faces (when he's fighting especially), but just watch any Sugu/Lyfa or Asuna or Yui or any girl added to the harem moments (and there are a lot of those) and you'd see how hard they're working on these parts, especially Sugu's boobs, the fights are also well-made despite some derp-faces. As for Magi, yes most of the episodes till now were good animation wise, but I wouldn't the animation as good as in SAO, if anything Magi has more inconsistencies and derp-faces than SAO.

I'm not sure where the problem is exactly this week, but the fact that SAO had the best animation this week from A-1 Pictures' works kinda says they worked on it more than on Magi, add to that the number of series they're working on this season. Either way, I'm hoping next episode will have better animation, it's one of the best fights in this arc, it'd be really a shame if they ruined it like this episode's Alibaba vs Sinbad.

I really enjoy Magi, both the anime and manga, the best series I discovered this season. Though I agree this episode has lazy animation to the point I got irritated. The passing is fine, but I just wish that the anime did a better job with the cool scenes shown in the manga, Alibaba get degraded again :/

good episode


Guts, known as the Black Swordsman, seeks sanctuary from the demonic forces attracted to him and his woman because of a demonic mark on their necks, and also vengeance against the man who branded him as an unholy sacrifice. Aided only by his titanic strength gained from a harsh childhood lived with mercenaries, a gigantic sword, and an iron prosthetic left hand, Guts must struggle against his bleak destiny, all the while fighting with a rage that might strip him of his humanity.

I loved this episode. The action was good, and I enjoyed Alibaba's back-story. And as a bonus Aladdin's staff attack, GO! I really hate fat, greedy royalty! Though I can't say I'm not greedy myself, and I'm pretty sure if you, the one reading this, if you thought about it your greedy yourself. But there is just something about this kind of royalty that just plain as day, piss me the F*CK OFF! If only I knew how to upload pictures so I can make a middle finger towards that guy. Now, maybe I should work on becoming, less greedy. Yeah, I think thats good, since I don't want to be one of those @ssholes! Middle fingers UP!

Best moment of the whole episode.I have to agree comedy wise. However the best was the following,

and really both together is what made the episode. In fact it's a balance of drama/action/comedy. Whom really surprised in its rather execution.

SFX wise Alibaba pyrotechnical show from the GIF was detailed enough to see the flames well.

The episode did wise of showing:

his powers to the point of Morgiana's surprise of his strength.

Saving those people through kind words and power of love... well, no thank you.
And in terms of character decisions and personalities it was pretty bad episode also - Sindbad sudden softening of heart on the roof where he was trying to join Shadow Troupe was worst of it. Mockery! I mean, what the hell? Someone is joking, right? That couldn't work from the start.

Again, a poor and a failure attempt to write an Arabic-similar script for a note.. -_-" the writing looks like some deformed Arabic letters to look like Hindi writing. Comparing (Yakitate!! Japan) and (Hanasakeru Seishounen) they both contained proper writing.

Anyways, I guess its useless to discuss such details.

P.S. Aladdin acted so mature hitting Alibaba's head. Hilarious moment.

Great episode, I now understand why Alibaba joined the Troupe and that Kassim isn't so bad after all. Sinbad is a badass and a truly interesting character, I'm glad and shocked that he wants to join the troupe. I enjoyed the Alibaba and Sinbad fight but Alibaba had no chance against Sinbad, he's not experienced as much as Sinbad has yet. Still, Alibaba put up a fight. I absolutely loathe that fat king, is he Alibaba's brother or something? I'd love to see that fat king destroyed. Anyways, great episode can't wait for the next one!

So I'm guessing that the Kou empire is sort of like the source of all the chaos in the world. . . It makes you wonder why the princess that Alibaba met is so self-righteous. Anyway, I think that Morgiana and Aladdin should have gone in there with Alibaba, looks like shit is about to go down.
