THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------


More Hakuei Ren this episode. Holy shit, she is brave getting some blood spilled and using that fan to deflect those arrows. What a boss. I'm also glad to see Baba-sama a little more this episode as well, even for just a bit.

A female genie also appears and wow, just wow. Anyways, nice episode.

I'm just awed that Paimon was shown in her full glory.


I was really expecting the animators to find their ways around her.


Lovely Morgiana is up next with some of her story.
Can't wait until we have our trio back together out and about. Gonna be great.

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.

LOL I can't believe they managed to show Paimon without any censors, maybe they got away with it cause she's blue LMAO.

This was a pretty good episode and I really liked Hakuei's Djinn equip


and Hakuryuu makes his debut

One thing that really annoyed me though,

Don't know why you're comparing these 2, but apparently TLR is ecchi and that's its selling point, while Magi has only this one scene in the whole manga, though I'm also surprised they didn't censor it.

The Djinn Equip here makes more sense than what happened in the manga (wind covered Hakuei and started killing the people), I'm guessing Shinobu didn't think of Djinn Equip at that point. Good to see the additional scenes for Hakuryuu and Judal too.

Morgiana next week!

Why? Because TLR is aired in midnight but yet it is censored. Magi is aired in the afternoon and yet it is not. And I am talking about the nipples scene in both anime.

My point is that people are gonna buy TLR for the nipples and the uncensored version, thus more profit since from what I've read lots of people dropped TLR because of the censoring, while no one is buying Magi for the (blue) nipples that appear only in this episode, it's the studio's strategy to get more profit as I said, I think you know about these stuff, don't you?

If you imagine that panel with Hakuei dressed in the Djinn Equip I don't think it'd make much difference. Either way, it's the author's idea, that's why I'm saying it's probably that she didn't think of this concept at that point.

True, but my point is that profit motive is not the only reason of censorship. TLR may not be the best example, but in anime that is less of a full-out fanservice anime like TLR, nipples still get censored, even though it is a midnight anime. So my point is that an afternoon anime like Magi gets passed the censor is startling and my comparison is between censorship for midnight anime and afternoon anime in general.

I will say that Ren in the following,

impressed the most of the episode. Her feelings, struggles and action were amazing there. Not only that but the dress reveals more of body, essentially revealing a decently sized bust and its sides when she jumps into the wind.

I usually did not comment in a while and am following this series but can I know WTF IS UP WITH THE NIPPLES ON THAT THING? Seriously I can take loads of this but what's the point of making a Djinn’s with nipples being pierced and showing and of all things at that time slot. Only reason no one cares yet is that the erotic object is not human but that does not matter. Watch, someone is going to write a complaint letter and more shit will happen aka "Mommy why are there nipples on her?" and then mother writes and complaints and more shit happens.

Someone is going to write again something I am sure.

Regardless series is still love due to Morgiana and her role. That's all

BTW is this a once time thing or more will come of this? I wonder that's all.

Image Stitches and some GIFs were done in the BLOG (NSFW):due to the nipples part.

I can see those complaint letters/calls coming lol. That's the only scene like that in the manga. There's another nipple scene in the recent chapters but not the whole nipples were shown, stripes came in the way, and it happened in 1 panel only, it can be easily censored and it'll 99% be censored if the anime reached that part, but something like this episode then no, it's a one time thing.

This episode really surprised me, when I heard about Hakuei's djinn equip I was sure they were just going to change Paimon's scenes completely, if not write her out completely. The animation for the fight was stunning too, and the pacing was much better. I now have hope for a quality adaption from here on out.

I loved the fight scene and all but I didn't really liked Hakuei's djinn equip form. I think it doesn't suits her character, but well...

It's true, in the manga she just uses the power of the metal vessel to form a tornado without transforming. She does the same in the anime but with the transformation (full body djinn equip).

Her transformation is canon though, since it was designed by the mangaka herself.

Best episode so far. Nothing feels rushed. And the mangaka did a good job with creating Hakuei's Djinn equip.

Also thought Aladdin's Halharl Infigar attack was nicely done (I actually really like how Aladdin said it here) :D And gotta love that moment when Ugo just slapped Ryosai hehe...

Like everyone else said, I was expecting some sort of censoring for Paimon as well. The "conversation" between Paimon and Ugo was...cute xD

Also, Judal! And Hakuryuu <3

4/5

And can't wait for next episode (Morgiana 8D)!

This was a really good episode, and a very satisfying conclusion to this arc. The pacing throughout was excellent, as it handled the dramatic tension and action sequences in a very engaging, enjoyable manner, while also introducing a new character and providing some slight character development for Aladdin.

Baba's temporary survival following the end to the last episode was unexpected, but it was nice for her to be involved for a short while longer, since her interactions with Aladdin were great. As such, following her actual death, Aladdin's conversation with Baba's spectral form was an exceptionally beautiful moment, elevated even further by the accompanying music, as she provides Aladdin with some insightful wisdom pertaining to his search for the true meaning of his existence.

Hakuryuu's introduction was rather compelling, and it will be interesting to see what role he eventually plays in the story. Hakuei was terrific throughout, as she's a highly intriguing character. Her djinn equip was a fantastic moment and very effectively illustrated. I also quite liked Paimon in her brief, and surprisingly uncensored, appearance, particularly her amusing interaction with Ugo.

The production values remain quite impressive, particularly the animation. As such, the action sequence was quite intense and superbly animated. The music was, for the most part, terrific, especially the selection used as Aladdin and Ugo attack Ryosai's army and save Hakuei. There was, however, an occasional selection, particularly during a portion of the action sequences, that was rather mediocre and somewhat distracting.

All in all, Magi improved immensely with this arc, and, hopefully, it continues to thoroughly impress, since the characters and story are highly enjoyable so far. The portrayal of the arabian setting is one of the strongest, most consistent elements of the show, as it skilfully illuminates a refreshingly adventurous atmosphere. I'm really looking forward to the next episode, since it appears to be an arc that will focus on Morgiana, which is great, since, so far, she's been one of the most interesting, yet relatively unknown, characters.
