hiabara said: 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 I actually thought the soundtrack to that was very awkward.Also, the boob jokes are getting old. |

Lol @ everyone thinking that there will be a reboot, unlikely. Tell that to other animes that deserve reboots. You don't see it happening. It hardly happen, EVER. That's pretty much what I meant by very soon |

Yea, I don't have problem with spoilers Darklight, should I leave this one to you? If not, I'm going to go start making a list... Yes, it's that bad. I am a bit short on time so I only explained the key change. You are welcome to add to that. |
| wow they just skip A LOT like they spent quite some chapters in sindria and in the anime it was like 2 episodes which is kind of sad, I would really appreciate if they would slow down the pacing. Sadly I don't think it's going to happen. |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Dragon's Dogma 2 again when you read this |

Sadly I don't think it's going to happen. 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. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Aw Im speechless. I try so hard to like the anime but i cant T_T, The curse part is very important coz we will see what happen at Aladdin's country.. And how zagan will cure the curse? |
 |
| WTF. If I was the mangaka I would be very pissed right now to see my great work being adapted like shit. *goes to check who is the responsible for this* Series composition: Yoshino, Hiroyuki. Ok now I get it. I couldn't expect a decent adaptation from the creator of Seikon no Qwaser (AKA the shota boy who sucks milky tits to all females in the cast to gain power). |

| 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 ): |

| Aw man I'm so disappointed, if this continues we might see a filler ending. the way they're doing things seems like they'll end it at ep 24/26. |
  |
| 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: ...and that's basically it. |

| Didn't get this far in the Manga yet but I can see why people are pissed. From what I read, they really should have stuck to the Manga's story, but either way I absolutely love the Anime too. |
| Isn't Alibaba sword must cut every even if he was defending himself..? And Hakuryuu kept talking even though Alibaba was paining in front of him.. I know that this is didn't happen in the manga.. But at least they should have focused in this things.. <<or maybe i'm the only one who's annoyed from those things.. Alibaba's character in the anime isn't cool at all..><" In the manga i really liked his confident..;__; The positive side in the ep. that they kept the funny parts.. I hope they don't ruin zagan arc..><" |

| That was one beast funny episode. Something's not right with that Kou prince, he'll betray them I can already see it, dat Zuko. |
 |
| Has a anime only viewer, this episode was pretty good, although it did seem pretty rush the comedy made up for that. Also, it made me think of One Piece quite a lot due to the "sea king" appearance and the cooking on board. |
| * looks at Magi Discussion* *sees all the manga readers still complaining about how much is changed* *facepalm* you would think they would learn by now i enjoyed this episode a lot it's a shame Alibaba doesn't know Hakuryuu's real goals as of now he just sees him as the prince which is taking over his country and that curse isn't helping |
 |
| Man, I am really starting to find Alibaba annoying. Wish he'd grow a pair. I'm really liking that Prince from Kou, didn't think that I would at first. Looking forward to seeing Morgiana break in her shiny new cuffs. |
 |
| Wow they skipped/changed wayyy to much in this arc. I really enjoyed reading this arc after balbadd. :/ |
| I found the whole thing to be quite enjoyable, but damn you guys have go me really interested in the manga version now. The way you describe it makes it sound like the second coming of Jesus. |
 |
| Besides the plot butchering. I think there was something in the water in A-1's animation office cause the animations this week were really baddddd. |
lobe said: Also Alibaba's personality is completely different in the anime than in the manga. They are like two completely different people. Also saying the story is at the beginning 20 episodes in is a bit of a stretch don't you think? Thats 20 * 15 = 300 minutes /60 = 5, 5 hours worth of possible character development/story progression so far. That is like 3 movies worth... Alibaba and Alladin and basically everyone stopped developing as characters around 10+ episodes ago. How can you possibly make excuses for this? You are right about Alibaba. He is actually my favorite character in Magi (manga version that is) because he has developed a better confidence and trust in people after the events in Balbadd. The anime keeps his wimpy personality for some reason, which makes me sad. Maybe it's stretch, I just see the end of Balbadd arc as the storyline's part 2 of 6 (and more to come). About the character development, Magi is a longer shounen, it takes really long time for characters to reach developing points, time that 2-cours anime lacks. |
| people complaining way too much lol. this ep was not that bad, the anime is fine. there always seems to be that one manga reader who thinks anime has to be 1 to 1 with the manga otherwise its garbage.. my problem is with the lazy art sinbad's face.. why would they do this =.= otherwise, humorous episode with cool development. |

| Nice plot development here . Can't wait for the dungeon fight . |

Darklight0303 said: Let me guess, Anime only fan right? you can say you think it's a bad adaptation, but yeah i haven't read the manga yet. and with that view i can say the episode did no wrong to me other than my examples. i enjoyed it, and it did what it was meant to do - entertain. |
-MgZ_ said: Sigh. I'm not even that surprised and disappointed. I mean, its obvious that A-1 won't do anything but to fuck up this series more. 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. they dont well with fma? soa? and ft? i think its animated good |

| full metal alchemist: brotherhood. the original fma did an original ending brotherhood sticks to the manga and goes far beyond in terms of story length etc compared to it. |
akn791425 said: ... What the crap just happened. My word if they pull the same shit they did with Ao no Exorcist, I am just going to rage like one heck of a motherfucker. Lots of shounen gets murdered with these crap endings. Off the top of my head now is Beelzebub and Ao no exorcist. Seriously WTF ao no exorcist was way popular how did they mess that up |
lobe said: reimei1227 said: They need to end the anime already.. instead of ruining it... I don't have any problems with the crappy animation becoz I now animating is so hard to do... But changing the plot is another story... I really hate A-1 pictures for adapting the manga.. I hope production companies like MAD House or Production I.G. will remake the anime soon... Waaahhh so depressed... They skipped so many MANY good parts on the manga... I hope they don't skip Hakuryuu crying on the manga, I really love that part XD The only thing I like about the anime is Alibaba's character not being a womanizer (?)... Animation is not hard to do.. When you have trained professionals you can do it pretty easily, and japan is full of trained animation specialists. The only problem with animation is its high cost which is generally higher than making your average reality show on TV that dominate the channels. But even so if the series is popular and the dvds are selling well then there is literally no reason why the animation quality should not be high quality. It is really noones fault but the producers and the director of the episodes and a even larger blame falls on this man Yoshino, Hiroyuki. The show is basically ruined at this point, the only thing we can hope for at this point is a quick death and hopefully a FMA: Brotherhood treatment. Which is highly unlikely since very very very very few shows ever get remakes and sometimes the remakes are even worse than the originals. Like the HxH remake currently airing.. And Magi is popular in both Manga form and Anime form but their popularity is rapidly dropping in anime form the more they refuse to take advantage of the amazing source material the show is based on. the animes popularity is going up same for manga |
ahneeme said: akn791425 said: Off the top of my head now is Beelzebub and Ao no exorcist. Seriously WTF I know Beelzebub's ending sucked a lot but a big problem with it was the filler episodes but if you hated those they weren't hard to skip. iirc only major changes that messed the story happened in the very last episode. Despite crap ending and fillers, the characters personalities were the same as the manga. Magi has only been going downwards. It's been butchered at the core in both story and even the characters. Ruined core story material is worse than fillers because you can't skip that. This is more similar to Ao no Exorcist which is another A-1 Pictures tragedy. Beelzebub was saved a little bit because it didn't fall into Yoshino's or A-1 hands. What im trying to say is that this studio should not touch a long running manga ever again after this. They should even stay further away from it if it's a shounen or action type manga. and another sad thing is that Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) has better animation than this. I know budgets are different but 2003 is laughing at all the derp faces from 2013. 10 years man get your shit together. Ao no Exorcist was mega popular like x10 magi popularity so u manga people get off ur high horse the anime is not made for you |
Candor said: Just wondering, as an anime-only fan, what do you think about Sinbad so far? Was there anything special about him you noticed in the recent 2 episodes? sinbad is pretty cool but it feels like he will die down the road, if not only because of the blood he got hit with, but how the story is having him train alibaba and aladdin. as for anything special recently, not much other than the organization continuing to refer to him as a "first class anomaly/singularity" and that he has been fighting them for a pretty long time in multiple countries across the world. and what he said about no longer being able to enter dungeons. that part is somewhat odd - that a djinn could decide that or someone/something else. and now that i think about it him not being able to use his magoi yet is a little weird. i feel like a decent amount of time has passed that he would recover but he did fire off a pretty huge amount. lastly, sinbad's comment about not wanting to marry and have kids. |

So shut up about stuff you have no idea about. it makes you look even more stupid than your triple posting habit does. It would seem that in your froth at mouth level of desire to defend something like this deteriorating adaptation you forgot of the existence of a handy little feature called 'edit post' |
