| I rewatched the episode. It's actually fine, if you look past the animation hiccups. I still have hope for some improvements in the BluRay release. I forgot to mention something; Ali is now wearing Kassim's earrings. Ali x Mor <3 She's so cute - looks like a hamster in this gif xD The Eight generals assemble *Squuuueeeee* |
| Was a fun episode overall, enjoyed it more than the previous episodes. Kougyoku at the end was lulz. |
| Really disappointed by the dance scene. WTF was that? two frames per second? |

 |
| So ive see the first few episodes of Magi, i loved what i saw but haven't watched much further or read the manga. SO is the sindria arc like a very important arc? How far ahead is the manga to the anime. |
  |
| wowthis episode had its hate... |
 |
| Not hating, but that dance was REALLY terrible. |
| I had assumed that people would have adapted by now, the poor animation. It's been like that for several episodes... |

Shows that this is probably Mor's first experience blushing and having that sort of relationship feeling. Also the "Eight Generals". (I have a bad mental image of them in magical girl uniforms. Mainly the males.) The water dragon performance was amazing. I can't stop thinking of sushi. Though I an see some flaws in this episode. I love Mor's dance scene (another sign of showing love affection), but I notice that the animation is a bit "jittery". The Blu-Ray quality better be worth it once it's out. Otherwise.. Yea. Still haven't read the manga, but I do remember seeing that one scene all of you manga readers mentioend about chubbie Aladian and Alibaba. I kind of missed these cute chibified reactions. (Aside from the Yamu-glomp moment.) P.S. Kougyoku... Calm down... ;_; |

timerrabbit said: That .gif saved me. Shows that this is probably Mor's first experience blushing and having that sort of relationship feeling. Yes, Mor has no experience with how to handle the feelings of love and friendship since she has been treated so badly all her life. She deeply treasures her new found relationship with Alibaba and Aladdin and the three of them will be each others strength. (Just have to add that Ali is oblivious that she blushed because of him, but he did find her beautiful, seeing her as a feminine girl for the first time) timerrabbit said: Also the "Eight Generals".

They are pretty boys after all ^^ |
| The animation was terrible. Absolutely terrible. I couldn't stop laughing at Morgiana's seizure on the stage. |

How far ahead is the manga to the anime. Sindria arc is mostly introducing characters, and some new things and info. With some comedy (which this episode gladly skipped out) Right now we are around chapter 82, they have skipped out a most of a whole important chapter so that will probably added later.. Now that I realize it this episode was like 5 chapters The manga has 173 chapters.. XD so it's quite a lot behind but the anime is cutting up things madly Ahh man that doesn't sound good, so they are condensing the anime series so it can reach that 26 episode mark? Then probably go on hiatus until a new season comes out. How ever it does say episodes unknown, so i don't know. What is their reason for condensing the adaption so much in comparison to the manga. I think i might just read the manga then watch the anime series later. In the manga does it show any sign what so ever of coming to an end or close to it, or is it seem like one of those very long ongoing shonens like bleach, naruto and one piece. |

KamiKali said: Ajunky said: KamiKali said: >_>That's what you get a shitty animation on random streaming sites Ill rather wait another day rather than sacrificing the animation just to watch it on the same day as everyone else It was a great intro for the next arc........ I almost had tears their I don't think the animation will improve if you wait for it. Are you telling me that I was blessed of a decent animated of magi? Ill tell you what.. my Monitor is a damm old LCD and for the first time in half of a year this was the first time i had a decent animated episode watch on a streaming site Now i really want to buy magi on blue ray after watching this episode Man.. KamiKali, you got it wrong. People here who complained about animation has nothing to do with the lack of animation's quality that is affected by 3rd parties (outside factors). What I meant by this is, internet's speed, PC's speed and/or other factors could affect the animation/video that you see. Or maybe the person who uploaded the video decreased the quality to put it on streaming sites. But we are not talking about this kind of outside factors that caused the original quality to drop. We are talking about how A-1 Pictures (a Japanese animation studio) animate this series. For example, Morgiana's dancing looks a bit jerky. Like from 21:28 to 21:31 felt too fast. The reason why so is because the lack of frames to make the animation smoother, and they make the animation of that part faster so it could seem 'acceptable' Hope you get what I mean... |

| That animation was... horrible. Seriously, some scenes just were a still image even though the characters were speaking and that dance was just... horrible. Not too much happened in this episode, it was a nice introduction episode though. |

The manga still doesn't show any signs of an ending. The world is still expanding and it can still go to a lot of places, like the countries of the generals for example (only one of those countries has been talked about thoroughly so far), but almost all of the big empires has been shed light on, like the Kou and the Rem. I think there's still Paltevia as one of those big empires that hasn't been talked about much. I hear they expand more on the political aspects of each country as well and the developing of each nation in various ways. Something you don't see in the big 3 really. So this intrigues me. Yeah i think ill just read manga maybe and then watch a few episodes of the anime to see the difference. |

Candor said: link9us said: Yeah you see that starting from the Kouga arc, the 2nd arc, and Balbadd arc, the 4th arc. If you watched 3 episodes then try reading the first 15 chapters of the manga and see the difference, that pretty much sums how the anime is going; rushing, skipping, deleting stuff, and adding as A-1 see fit (which created plot-holes at some points), add to that horrible animation..Candor said: link9us said: I suggest you read the manga and don't go back to the anime, it's not worth your time.Coralira said: link9us said: So ive see the first few episodes of Magi, i loved what i saw but haven't watched much further or read the manga.

Yeah i think ill just read manga maybe and then watch a few episodes of the anime to see the difference. Personally i thought the animation was pretty decent, i mean much greater then then what naruto shippuuden is delivering right now. What really drew me into this show is that i hear one of the female leads morgianna is not your typical shonen tsundere type which really interests me, its nice to have a female lead character, that kicks some major ass, but still has those defining human characteristic flaws and emotional feelings. I am downloading now, ill have to really take some time to read this, its sounds like it could be on the same level of one piece if it continues to grow and become more popular. |

| Geez, put some damn spoiler tags on, I haven't read the manga. .-. |
| DAT MORG Dance was amazing. This was an awesome episode. I love the new characters especially how that one guy sliced up that big monster and everyone ate it for the feast, that moment was so amazing. |
 |

| No, I've been looking forward to seeing obese Alibaba and Aladdin! As many others have mentioned, I was hoping for a much more smooth Morgiana dance than what was shown. Considering how they put it in the opening, I thought they'd save up their budget for a smooth dance or something. Bad choice for them to skimp there. Ah well. |
   |
| Eww. That dance animation was poorly animated. What a terrible framerate for such an amazing character. Needs more Morgiana. |
 |
| The animation was so shit this episode. Like beyond shit , uber shit! Ugh. Also the anime needs more arabian music.... |

  |
| That dance animation was terrible! Alibaba x Morgiana |
 |
| waa new characters *-* dat mage teacher omg xD Bias said: That dance animation was terrible! |
| 1. No fat Alibaba and Aladdin D: 2. wtf, Sharrkan voice ;o But Mor was sooo cute~ *O* Can't wait to see you-know-which-scene with Hakuryuu~ |
     |
| Old news but I just had to ad this here http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=47661204&postcount=17138 There's is hope for the BluRay after all :) |
| Awesome episode. Morg <3 Anyone got a .gif of her dancing? |
 |
| Wow, Sindria sure is a great country. Liked the lightheartedness in this episode. Morgiana was so cuteee! Especially when she pouted her face <3. And lmfao at Kougyoku at the end haha. |
 |
| A-1 Pictures... 1. Stick to slice of life, where heavy animation is not usually required... 2. Reduce the amount of project you're working on... It's affecting your quality... or 3. POUR YOUR BUDGET INTO SHINSEKAI YORI OR MAGI INSTEAD! seriously... wtf A-1! Magi's animation have been horrible! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| What a great feel good chapter after the angst of the last couple of eps. Morgiana is perfection. Shame they did such a bad job animating this episode. I want to move to Sindria. |

| Aawww.. Morgiana is too cute D: the 8 generals look really cool and badass.. I want to see more of them :o |
| Nice to see Morgiana's dance... She's so cute XD Stark700 said:  And some new chara and among them LOLI Why Kou-chan so angry with Sinbad? |
"Signature removed"   |
Oh Jesus just kill me now. |
 |
| Quite a nice start of this new chapter, the characters look really interesting especially that small blond girl, I wonder what role she has! Morgiana in the end was really beautiful especially when with her dancing! Lets see what the training will be like and what the story has to offer next! |
 |
| Goddammit I thought I'm the only one who thought the animation is kinda terrible. Anyway, Sinbad is badass since he doesn't need a wife. And Alibaba deserves a romance interest, though I don't know if it's Morgiana or other girls that haven't introduce yet. |
 |
| Wut? This episode...idk... At least is was good seeing Yamuraiha. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Finally, some decent episode. New arc seems promising, but I won't let my hopes high. And I like Yamuraiha also, she looks like an interesting character (Aladdin is really boobie man :D). Shame that dance animation was so low-budgety, it could have been epic if done properly. And this ^^  |
| Morgiana is so cute. <3 Nice ending to this arc. :P |
| A Sinbad arc? YES! Lol at Kougyoku at the end, what Sinbad has done to her? And.. the infamous Hakuryuu!! :) itsvero said: LOL dat dance animation. It was like 2 frames per second. Cute ep though. +1 the animation for that was bad. |
