Magi

22:

oh wow i didn't notice until this ep that they CUT OUT amon's pregnancy scene, which is important; true mor's a firecrotch but that doesn't mean she just magically gets flaming household vessel powers.

yoshino hiroyuki should have been employed as a butcher instead, great work.

*guilty crown*

most unappreciated main chara in magi

That's a pity. I'm surprised that I stood strong on the anime adaptation. And because of the VAs. (And little boy tantrums.)

But... I can not help but imagine Alibaba in Madoka's dress.. You know where I'm going, right?

I have not watched Epi. 22 yet... But.. I'm sort-of worried? Coming from your post, Almora...

Flaming fist Flaming fist Flaming fist!

Okay I'm done and will comment again once I catch up to the episodes.

Um no L000000L. im not at all attracted 2 alibaba, he's not doesn't make my jamba juice factory go coochi woo woo. i tend 2 stay away from most psychological themed animes because the last time i tried 2 watch madoka i think i legit developed a brain tumor and i had no idea wtf was going on. same with bakemonogatari i gave up!! i just can't - A-

but i do LOVE LOVE LOVE magical girl animes, just not the recent ones. not my taste :I

well it's not that bad, but in my opinion it could've been better if it was added in. idk about what others think but that's how i feel. also, i don't even remember if there were supposed to be dogs l0l

im okay with them adding in new sfx to help make the scenes flow more naturally like the pink smoke from that 1 girl's sword in cassim's gang when they were invading in final balbadd arc, which wasn't in the manga originally, but that little sfx totally made it more dramatic and visualizing.

i just don't get some of the director's reasons 4 cutting out the good small stuff orz

Ep 22:

I actually liked 22, but the blood from Morgiana's eyes kind of creeped me out at first since I didn't expect it. And assassin Jafar was <33333!

[Almora]

23:

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS an animated scene of sexy kouen mnnf.

so they moved around the ambush trio away from the aladdin & co.(manga) 2 a new order against sindria? curious 2 see what they have in store for us w/ how the 8 generals as a whole will respond, compared 2 only 3 getting deployed in the manga.

[Janna]

This episode was pretty awesome! Really loved Alibaba's new swordplay style and his awesome spins and fffff. The scene with the princess and Sinbad was also adorable. ;__;

[Almora]

dahskjdhaksdha it's nearly impossible to avoid magi spoilers while scrolling thru my dash the day after a new raw ep is uploaded onto the net <_>

all i'm gunna say is u're all gunna be in 4 a surprise.

manga:

Spoiler!

apparently "mini" Scheherazade is a clone herself too and she's not at full power. this pitts aladdin & yunan together for the title of strongest magi.

[Henreh]

Spoiler!

emo boy Judar probably will get a power up soon cuz of Aladdins recent power up. Kou bringing the chaos, I LIKE IT.

Amazing A-1. Why do mangakas let A-1 pictures touch their manga when they all fall into the inevitable fate of overly cliche anime original endings/plots that completely contradict character personalities?

Alibaba, the person who represents light/brightness/purity over any other character, turns "dark".

It's like when they butchered Ao No Exorcist's characters, having Yukio a child genius prodigy sanest character ever etc, believe and follow a random stranger and turn on his brother that he's been protecting his whole life, ok.

Can I take a moment to chuckle at dark!Alibaba? I swear... My brain killed myself thinking of Precurz.

I still need to watch the episodes.

And regret picking up something Morgiana at my Little Tokyo trip.

24:

wtf so that's how hakuryuu loses his arm -_- preparing my vomit for next week's ending. bets on cliched "power of friendship" 2 save the day.

COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD $$$, A-1.

Now I caught up and I still dunno how to feel! I feel bad for Hakuryuu even more... (Now imagine him going to the A-1 office and demand a alternative/spin-off episode...)

And I still want to laugh at the Fallen!Alibaba concept...

Don't tell me I'll get a happy magical girl ending?!

P.S. I love pretty girls/princess.. So "HOLY WTH WHY DID DUNYA HAVE TO DIE!!!!"... Yea. I said it (or sort of) at my "study room" watching Magi with my friend... ._.;;;

P.P.S. I still love most Morgiana moments. Her metal vessel abilities were amazing! But yea I found it creepy/worrysome that she tears blood... (Poor babu! ;o; )

[Janna]

Just saw 24. Damn beautiful art and pretty good animation so I couldn't help but not enjoy it. Masrur was so awesome and ashfhgjjha Alibaba all my feels ;_____;

I felt the arm scene was much better in the anime TBH, sure it was sudden but it's still better than how it was in the manga where it was literally "oh, my arm just fell off lul nvm", everything else about the original adaption is shit though (well maybe Dunya getting killed on the spot was alright, pretty gruesome).

[Kenzor]

Well it looks like Magi will be getting a second season in fall 2013 somehow.

Will probably be a lot of weird pacing in the next season tbh... meh

[RoflKnife]

Plan a second season...but have anime original ending/plot events...

I...I mean it's not unheard of and nothing's wrong with it...if it's done well.

[Almora]

25:

welp, that wasn't so bad since they added all the good stuff in at the end to make up for that nasty handshaket orz. apparently dunya didn't completely get killed? well, she deserves all my hugs anyways.

i just fking luv vinea and the whole kou/ren family. there was more kouen screentime

so it WAS oppaimon, zagan, amon, focalor, zepar, vinea + etc in that alma toran scene after all, the colors/animation reaffirmed it for me.

scheherazade & yunan also got animated -w-
manga:

Spoiler!

i forgive scheherazade after she disclosed that she's about to die soon. plus her 1st ever king candidate was a real cutie and their overall bond was just so lovely :I

honestly, the later half of the anime just paints alibaba in such an annoying light, he's def more lovable in the manga. im glad magnostadt arc won't have much of him in it, i can bare w/ pirate mother & reim solo journey. idk how to feel abt next season, i guess im just happy there's more? second season = 2nd chance to make things right(hopefully). im more excited abt sinbad's adventures tho, he was a real cutie in his youth.

[PKShota]

Welp, it's not like I'm gonna ever read the manga so I'm gonna just say I loved Magi overall~ can't wait for that 2nd season.

Spoiler!
