| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- All dem Magi. I sure as hell hope they can change the world. Titus definitely made a difference though and I'm glad he's happy seeing the kid he saved again. I also got a couple of laughs this episode with the instructor's delusions. Oh God that's just priceless. |
 |
| 1 hour special part 1 (only OP), More talk. That old guy convincing he does good for the people, but for Aladdin, he only think good for the magicians and others as insects. At least that convinced most of the students, even Kirito magician a bit by curing that girl. Learning about Dark Rufu. |

| I actually waited for this one to come out. This series is getting better and better. The darkness of Magnostautt is revealed with Aladdin actually seeing them manipulate dark ruth in his class. The director is really twisted, he actually believes in what he's doing and that all the goi are livestock and animals. I love Marga <3. Titus might just sell his soul to the director to see her grow up. |

Because that’s where you’ll find the things more important than what you want.” ~ Ging (HxH) |
| Very good episode. Mogamett makes a good sales pitch for the magicians, but it's clear that his supremacist ways will lead to war sooner rather than later. Aladdin is maybe revealing too much too soon. It really won't do if the organization is on to his presence in Magnostadt. |

| They skipped a couple of conversations, but it flowed rather smoothly. In fact, despite not having any action scene, I was rather impressed with the animation and production value in this episode. Marga was even more adorable than I remembered. Poor Titus. I still encourage everyone to read the chapters covering this though since there is some content that wasn't really included. |

| So the flashbacks are over. The little girl finally got to see the aboveground world. I wonder what will happen to Titus next episode. Great episode!!! |
 |
| Magi melts my heart once again. Marga :'( |
 |
| I feel really bad... or maybe evil. Started laughing when he kicked the kid. |
| "Titus Oniichan." haha LOL that old guy -_- what the hell in his mind? |
 |
| This show is excellent. I really enjoyed this episode, and the focus on Titus and his relationship with Morga was great. Also, it's very refreshing for Magi to introduce some moral ambiguity for the first time a while, we haven't had any of that since Kassim. I did think the way the old man treated the Goi as livestock was slightly over the top, though. Not that it was unnatural (I actually really like that it gives us an idea of how screwed up his mind is from what he went through) but that it was laid a little too thick. But that's a minor complaint, the episode was great as always. I hope this season keeps up the same quality throughout its run. |

| War is coming;) Titus origins reveal next ep. |
 |
| Good ep. Mogammet's really know how to make an argument XD Marga is just tooo friggin Adorable <3 Lol'd at Irene and how she was jealous of Aladdin XD Poor Titus :( |
 |
| That brotherly titus was so realistic..........:( |

| Omg this episode was so emotional I almost cried a few times. And that chairman guy's thinking is really messed up he's actually seeing the Goi as cats, dogs, insects, pigs, that's pretty sick even though they did him wrong in the past. Also the light Rhuku around him I'm starting to think it might be fake. |
| Our director is very weird. I find it annoying listening to his speech this time. Super fake. I think titus already descended. |
| Some conversations where skipped, like Aladdin and Titus choosing what classes to attend and agreeing to share their knowledge, and stuff during the montage scene, but overall the episode had a good flow. I like how thoughtful Aladdin is and how he tries to understand Mogamett's way of thinking. Funniest scene is Irene-sensei's fantasies about the old man. Also notice all the paintings on the wall inside the classroom xD Biggest revelation would be the experimentation of the black rukh and the secret connection between Magnostadt and the Organisation. Marga is so precious, her little "will you wait for me" speech is so pure and honest. A year ago when I read this part in the manga I cried because it's a promise Titus has trouble to keep, and again I feel like crying when seeing it in anime. |

| Titus is such a sweet big brother to Marga <3 What is in Mohamet's mind? He must be planning something devious, the way he kicked that child and told him to go away...Cruel. |
 |
| im pretty sure titus wanting to live at the end endangered leam, but living>dying |
 |
| Such a great episode yet again, I'm loving this dilemma i'm having about whether director's ideology is bad. What got me the most though was the revelation of them experimenting with the black rukh. Also Magnostadts 'link' to the organisation. Everything's getting so much more interesting, wonder what titus meant by the end. It was kinda obvious from the conversations that he and the magi of leam were having, but I hope that he doesn't ask the director to 'extend' his life :/ |
| That's sad that Mogamett is treating those gois like animals. Marga got see what it is like outside. She is so adorable. |
 |
| Damn! The Director views those underground as nothing more than insects, rodents, or wild animals. Titus wanting to take care of Marga from the Director's point of view was the equivalent of Titus wanting to take care of a stray cat. *smh* That interaction between Titus and Marga towards the end made me tear up a little bit. I hope Titus doesn't die. I didn't like him at first, but I like him a lot now. Still haven't taken a firm stance on the Director. I mean, I see and understand his motivation, but like Aladdin said, "something about him seems off." Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| I liked how they handled the paralleling of Marga and Titus. I feel like the buildup was a little less there than the manga since some content was missed, but I guess they got the point across. Next episode gonna be dark. |

AnimageNeby said: It's a slight gripe I have with it too, that it's a bit portrayed over the top, just so people (anime/manga fans watching it) would understand it's 'wrong' and say that Mogamet is evil, or at least 'something is off'. And, as he IS being portrayed, he is 'wrong' or 'evil', to some extend. He sees and treats goi people as another breed (insects, animals) - which, I repeat, doesn't make sense, because magicians (whom he uphold as something dear) ARE BORN from non-magicians as well. Since this is highly illogical, one can either see it as an oversight of the creators of the anime/manga, just to make the moral point they're after - a little plothole for the sake of making the ethical message clear - or, it's deliberately done as to show there is a twist in the mind of Mogameth to the extend that he fails to see the illogic of his handlings himself. In any case, while this stance of "it's another breed" doesn't make sense, and this will be shown in later episodes to be detrimental in evaluating the morality of what he did or didn't do, I feel this is more done to effectively make the point across that it's wrong (thus, it lessens the ambiguity of it, which I personally like about this arc). Idem with all the foreshadowing that that sort of thinking will 'end the world' by Alladin. But really, if you look rationally at the arguments themselves, and compare the living standards to the rest of that world/universe as it has been depicted, one can not else than conclude Mogamets way is far better compared to all the rest. The arguments he gave aren't wrong, it's his absolute disposition that is over the top and morally (and logically) wrong. As I said before: take away his fanatic and illogical division to see non-magical people as another 'breed', and ameliorate the potential flow for the diverse social ranks/statuses, and the system he's talking about is clearly better and superior than anything else there. His ideas and arguments, therefore, have merit, even if his personal expression of it do not. He is basically argumenting for a meritocracy, and as said before; such a system has many good things going for it. It may be illogical objectively, but in the context of Mogamett's life it makes sense for him to think the way he does because he see's the world through the lens of his own grief. He's constructed an elaborate logical device to justify what he's doing, but the absolute segregation he's trying to enforce is really just his subtle revenge (conscious or subconscious) against the Goi that took his loved ones from him. |
| I'm pretty pleased with the way they're handling things. Probably like a lot of people who've read the manga I'm eager for the *** to start, but the build up is very nice. Less magi potter scenes like how many classes there is to take, but that's fine given time constraints. |
| I'm starting to feel that old man Mogamett, but he can't just call Scheherezade a little girl when she's like 100 years older then him. Or kick little kids in the belly. |
 |
| Magnostadt is definitely a better place then most places in the Magiverse. At least the lower classes get what they want there, as opposed to the slums of other kingdoms. Still, can't agree with Mogamett viewing goi as nothing but pets or livestock. Waiting patiently for episode 17 to be subbed. |

| ... i got way too many weird thoughts when marga and titus are together. too much anime for me. but the 'shoo shoo', so lulz worthy |
    |
| A lot of people have been saying that this episode didn't have a ton of action, but I'm okay with that because, well, this episode was so much more human. I have no idea what to expect, since I'm not a manga reader, but I feel like maybe Titus is (or was?) a child like Marga who was rescued by Scheherezade, which is why they acted similarly when they first got to see the city... I don't know what's up with his illness, though... Scheherezade did say that she'd cure him, though, so maybe he'll get to live longer? On top of that, I feel like Aladdin's going to be discovered soon. His secret as a magi has been pushed to the point where one wrong step can get him found out, although I feel like Mogamett already has some sort of idea that he's a magi, even though there're only supposed to be 5 magi in the world. What I really want to see is how Hakuryuu (and his mom, Judal, and siblings) are doing, as well as what Aladdin's doing (and how Scheherezade is responding to him being in Leam) and how Morgiana is doing after finding out the truth about the Fanalis. Ahh, man, next Sunday can't come fast enough. |
Ramkec said: I'm starting to feel that old man Mogamett, but he can't just call Scheherezade a little girl when she's like 100 years older then him. Or kick little kids in the belly. Hmm, yeah, but he's also not completely sure that she's a Magi, just like you can sort tell he knows what's up with Aladdin, but he's not completely sure. I get that he has, uh, personal scars from his earlier (much much earlier) years, but kicking a little kid? That's a little.... |

I feel like there's no way the producers can finish off Magi in what, 9, episodes? I'm hoping that they take their time and make a third season if they have to, because I'd definitely watch it. |
| My feels during that Marga scene. :'( If this show can keep up this awesome quality, it'll probably get a solid 8 from me when it ends. Waiting for ep 17 to come out. |
| Good episode |
 |
| Dammit it ended. I lol'd when they explained Mogamets skewed views on the people underground and the way he handed the girl to Titus. |

| Finally, Titus is showing his will to be alive... starting with rebelling against Scheherazade. |

| I want to start reading the manga, but at the same time, I don't want to end up being mad about what A-1 Pictures leaves out or how they change things. Don't want the anime ruined >< But these cliffhangers! I want to know what happens! Haha Oh well. I think I'll just stick to the anime and wait it out every week :P |
| Marga's so cute. I still can't get over the fact that Mogamett sees the gois as animals, that was really disturbing. The OST in the ending was perfect. |

| Marga is so cute, I am glad for her. Prinicipal is nice, too bad he isn't grasping everything fully. Marga is so much like Titus. Irene likes old men, huh. Such a heartwarming episode. Finally this anime has a great ending song, previous one was meh. |
 |
| Why will Titus die? and what is Titus? So the Old guy treats the little girl like a cat while the others are like insects and creepy crawling things If only the Old dude dint kik the child when the children said "I wanna go outside to" He would have gain Aladins trust And whats with no Alibaba no Morg episode i wanna see them meet Titus and that Snake Dude |
| The way Mogamett show his feeling toward Goi is so much stronger than in the manga! |
