For those who don't know this, Dunya in arabic means earth, so it's pretty cool how she kinda has earthish powers. Just a cool tidbit.

So yeah the anime is straying farther away from the manga and it's really not cool. Half the shit happening in this episode doesn't actually happen, and it's making things not as cool (and they really killed Alibaba's character). At least Dunya's djinn equip looks good lol.

Dunya's final form reminded me of some valkyrie hentai.... lmao.

Also, the fight between Alibaba and Isaac was hilarious.

Isaac: "You have poor swordsman ship."
/does nothing but thrust sword.

It was even more lols when he started using his magnetic powers.

Anyways since its gonna be original ending I'm happy that its ending,.I fell like they are throwing random BGM, acting is lame, and the so called war??wth sharkan-masrur-yamu can take those 3 idiots and their army are dungeon creatures?? theres more 5 generals to take them out, no need for sindria's army..so its gonna be a weak original ending of them.. .. hoping for remake!!!..


i hope for remake aswell even tho i love this anime it feels 2 rushed

Question, in manga is the hot demon girl and her knight irrelevant as well when they entered the story? Their characters are so shallow and now Alibaba gang are fighting whats-her-name who no one cares about. Even if this is a forced ending the new villains are so dull and appears only to be Isnan's new toys. Since I don't read the manga I can only assume that episode 23 was altered too much from the manga. Or perhaps the new villains are just poorly written characters to begin with?


Someone shed some light please.

I'd love to.

That should give you a rough picture of the situation and to what extent A-1 is playing with the story.


that sounds more epic :(

Really digging Dunya's battle lingerie and thought it was funny that they sent in Judal basically just to grief the other team.
I guess that less clothing = more protection? It would explain the pillar men in Jojo's.
Would've been funny if when Dunya turned into a black djinn somebody had said: "Hey, you're not you when you're hungry. Here, have a Snickers."

This was quite painful to watch for me...
I see them trying to wrap things up for the original ending they're intending to have, and I heard quite some cheesy lines that weren't included in the manga. By cheesy I really mean cheesy.
Alibaba doesn't really feel like himself >.>; and I'm really sad they didn't include Judal's epic close-up moments. "This country that you created isn't half bad..."

oh, and they really have a variety of ost for this anime .__. pop music this time around. . .

I think I'll be watching this to the end, (two more eps.) expecting the worst so I won't be even more disapponted :<


two? What are you talking about?
There is only 25 episodes. 2 to go.


Whaaaat??

Then what about the Magnostadt-arc??

Btw, I repeat: most of you guys are a bit too harsh on the anime. Sure, the manga is better, and the anime deviates here and there... but, in comparison with others, it's still a very decent anime, far above average in its genre. It still has more depth and intriguing qualities in it than most others that air. And it certainly makes people interested enough in it, to (wnt to) read the manga (like me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one).

So, in conclusion, I would rather say that, while not perfect, it's still pretty good, and one of the better anime of this season. I sure hope it's successful enough they continue it. The Magnostatt-arc just rocks.

Oh, so it'll end with episode 25. Too bad I guess. I don't enjoy Magi anyway, I think they could've done a better job than they did... What I watched was really boring and lame and the only reason I kept watching it was because I though it would get better once it'd progress. No progress though, I guess.

So you thought it sucked the whole time and still managed to persevere through 24 episodes?

Lol. My thoughts exactly.

I find it always funny when people keep coming to a forum and each episode saying "the anime sucks."

Well, then don't watch it!

If one really needs 24 episodes to say it's worthless, then either you're a retard or a troll.

It's not possible to include everything in 25 episodes o.o

Btw, I was like *O* when Alibaba got the new sword :D
But I asked myself during his fight with the evil knight, "Why isn't he just like 'AMON' and flame sword and cut that bastard's sword in half like he did in Balbadd?"

Dat SinbadxKougyoku scene!!!! *kyaaaa* <3<3<3<3

Orulyon said:
As a Jukou fan, I was disappointed. Anime viewers wont understand why even manga readers ship it. This scene was supposed to have Judal going to Kougyoku to look directly in to her eyes when he asked "what´s wrong Kougyoku?" and when Kougyoku turns the way its drawn in the manga makes a "triangle". Aka Kougyoku in the middle of Sinbad and Judal, not like it was depicted in the anime without any impact.
Geez, Im so hating this adaptation. *returns to manga*

Aw too bad, I'd like to see that..

Sindria is in deep shit now unless they conquer the dungeon and bring back the djinn to heal Sinbad.

Is there more to The Organization than a group of people who want to turn the world into chaos and darkness for the sake of some cult? It is way too shallow of a motive for me to get behind...it just comes across like evil vs good with no grey areas.

I really hate it when characters explain their abilities/powers. Also, I kind of feel like the enemies were pulling magic out of thin air. "Oh by the way this is the ultimate form yada yada..." I haven't read the manga yet but even I can tell this isn't part of the original story. It feels so out of place. Or maybe it's just terrible execution?

If you're going to use your "ultimate form" five minutes into the fight why not just start with it. Alibaba going back to the dagger hardly surprising; the only time this anime did something I couldn't see coming from a mile away was at the end of the first dungeon.

I'm hoping Morgiana will capture this dungeon.

Man, the "war" between PC and consoles is nothing between the manga master race and anime.

I read the manga, and i like the anime. Sure, a adaption staying true to the manga would be nice, but can't you enjoy anything on it's own? Also, half the stuff that "never happend" in the manga did happen, and the other was just rearranged, e.g. who is bitten, where exactly the flying old man attack etc.

Which is not important for the anime, and not really important in the long run for the manga, either. They didn't change anything more fundamental, like if Aladdin would not use fire magic, so he couldn't kickstart Alibaba's sword, or them rejoining at a totally different point in time after Balbadd, so that e.g. Morgiana would never go to Sindria, which would make it difficult to explain how she got a household vessel from Amon.

I also wonder why so many people just go here to complain. If i don't like something, i don't bother with it. At the very least, i will want to finish it as fast as possible, instead of examning every scene, heck, every pixel, whether there is anything different from the manga.

I think, instead of "do not discuss the manga beyond this point" it should simply be "do not discuss the manga". Not in the episode threads. There is the manga forum and you can always open a thread to specifically discuss the differences, but it does not belong here.

Thinking of it, i need to check the manga adaption of original anime to see if people complain the other way round as well, or if they suddenly start complaining that the anime is "all wrong" too

It was an okay episode, didn't leave an impression. I can understand the manga fans, I read many manga and get disappointed with their Anime adaptations but it happens so often that I'm no longer surprised. I've read a couple chapters of the manga but I'm reading a lot of manga and novels that I need to put some on hold, including this. I'll just watch the Anime for the sake of finishing it but so far, it's not impressing me by any means.
