In this case, at least they showed how Solomon's Wisdom functions in the episode even though the mechanism was not explained.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Wow.....this didn't feel anywhere near to the emotional level of the manga (I almost cried in the manga) especially that last part, for some to me reason it felt incredibly forced while it seemed natural (and very emotional) in the manga.

Ya, I can't force myself to keep watching this (especially knowing they'll be squeezing Zagan and Sindria Arc in to 7 episodes).......dropped

For those who are enjoying the Magi anime, I apologize for my rant and please keep enjoying it. I am sure, had I not read the manga first I would've enjoyed Magi to the same extent as you (probably hated Alibaba and Cassim to a similar extent as you....sorry ranting again).
So you would say the manga is different? 'cause i'm finding this pretty boring, i really hate Alibaba, and Cassim as you mentioned, and instead of feeling something with this supposedly emotional chapter i couldn't stop thinking it was incredibly boring.

Ahh that was much better than last week's episode. Was nice to see a happy ending for Kassim. After he'd turned evil, I didn't like him at all, but for me he redeemed himself there, so I'm happy with that.

Whoa, epic Sinbad be epic. That quick appearance was pretty cool :P.

Definitely looking forward to the next arc, and am interested to find more out about those unusual people near the end.

Whutdafuq'sup with this episode, such a disappointment, with all the cliche "going into monster body and save the friend that turned into monster" and "inside the body you have a space of mind where you can change the god damn scenery to whatever you liked", but the end did made me feel a bit sad.. I've been giving Magi 5/5 for every episode, but I am gonna give this a 3, given the fact I don't want a series I liked having score below average, even if it's just a poll

Excellent episode. A-1 Pictures can pull it of if they really try, wish all episodes to be nicely animated like this. I like the ruhk effects, like the rain and the dripping black ruhk. Kassim redeemed himself. Only now he realized that if he tried he would be able to have a decent life but ended up cursing his existence and blinded by his rage. He wanted to like a king, a person to look up to, to be like Alibaba.
I can imagine Alibaba had a hard time growing up in the castle. He was never allowed to leave the place and always under strict education. After he ran away he manage to live as a poor salesman doing things he wasn't proud of and feeling pathetic. That's why he was mad at Kassim for thinking so highly of him. Thanks to the rukh they came to understand each others feelings that could not be put in words. In the end it came to a good conclusion to this mess and all is forgiven.

Sinbad action was super powerful, you can easily understand why the author choose to have him powerless until now. LOL at Jafar making pouting face at Sinbad for being such a careles person.

Mor is adorable! *Hugs to Al-Ali-Mor*

Much better than previous episodes, still didn't enjoy it that much though, I'm only watching this now because I'm a fan of Magi. Maybe I'm not enjoying it because I read the manga first though, this anime lacks so much impact and they even skipped things and info dumps from the manga... and I don't like Kaji Yuki's voice acting, it's starting to make me dislike Alibaba's character since it makes him look like such a wuss (probably going to ruin Shingeki no Kyojin for me too)

Wow what a great episode. Learning the reasoning behind Kasim's life. Alibaba not realizing it but now knows. Kasim dying T__T and Aladdin giving everyone the chance to see their loved ones before they go back to Rukh. I wish Kasim had a better life. Alibaba and Kasim friends forever.

I think that was a pretty good ending for the conclusion of the Balbadd arc. Not as depressing as the manga, certainly.

Well, I shed a few tears, actually. Curious about how it goes on the manga.

This arc was pretty good imo. There isn't really much to wrap up, Balbadd will become a republic and people will be happier, that's it. Let's see what Sindria arc will deliver.


Oh I ended up shedding a few tears too. But in the manga, it is much more depressing to the point I have shed a lot more than a tear or two. The conclusion was just more hopeful than the manga.

Sindria arc is gonna be awesome, no doubt. Hurray for Yamu and Sharr next week! c:

Dat animation budget.... Feels like we're getting a step closer to resembling the Naruto x Pain fight.

The ending was nice but I keep getting that feeling of "People don't die when they're killed" now.

Also just noticed the ending song by Supercell... Lol... Dam I'm late.

Now gonna keep track of the episodes in Magi that make me cry. This is one of them. ;_; I know everyone has mixed opinions since I have not read the manga, but I thinkt hat episode pulled to well tot he newcomers who had never herd of the manga. I love the ending... IDK, but if this is an magical girl series, I would cry either way. What a happy ending in a sort.

Now going back to my imaingary futon world.

hmm. i have the feeling that this anime is going in a direction i don't like. or at least the last episodes felt different than the first ones and i wish i knew what exactly is bothering me, but i just can't put my finger on it.
i guess a lot has to do with that rukh and magi stuff. sometimes it just feels like they throw something in the show without any explanation. this whole scene where they went into the body of that monster and where alibaba's tears were destroying kassim's weapon... idk, i didn't like it. sometimes it feels like they're just trying to throw as much magic stuff as possible into that show.
but as i said: i just can't put my finger on what is really bothering me.

and it was sad that kassim died (even though it made it a really interesting episode). sometimes i wanted to punch him for being so stubborn, but all in all i liked him and i just wanted him to be happy with alibaba /sigh

nice way to end off the arc would had left a bigger impact on me if they didn't have the flow of life with everyone showing up for one last time but it was a bitter sweet ending i guess

Arc was good just wish they didn't focus so much on Kassim dude got way to much screentime

highlight of this episode was Sinbads Crew all suddenly got mad powerful when they took out the mask guy wasn't surprised that he didn't fully die though,looking forward to seeing the others next week!

It was a great conclusion to this arc. People still complaining about anime adaption huh? Seriously, there is no perfect adaption. Even the long running series(Naruto,One Piece and etc..) has crappy things done to their anime adaption. For me, Magi anime adaption isn't bad compared to other anime adaption out there.

^ Yeah seriously. People should use their energy on stuff that happens in the story instead of raging about the animation team and voice actors. I personally have nothing against A1 pictures and I like Kaji Yuki, his voice fits Alibaba.

So what do we learn about the new bad guys in this episode:

So what do we learn about the new bad guys in this episode:
In addition to what you just wrote I'll add these info about them, that was mentioned in the arc:

- They're doing forbidden experiments on the Rukh, by making Dark Djinn and those monsters.

- In the conversation between Aladdin and Ugo, Ugo spoke about people who go against fate and destiny, he was speaking about them. In that conversations some other things were mentioned about them, like wanting to engulf the world with darkness, and degeneration, and the Rukh around them being dyed in black.

- They can be defeated, but they turn to dolls when they are, except Isnan, who's a special case right now.

I tried, I really tried... but in the end I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. Kassim's farewell and the reappearance of all the deceased ones were too touching.
Even the made-up filler crap of Sinbad's attack being too weak hence the Al Sarmen dude's survival didn't manage to ruin the episode.

well in the end this episode was satisfying. Nice death of that bad guy (Sin's power was amazing), guess he will survive just like orochimaru because of his snake form :P

anyway nice parting of kassim, and fuck really got me when mariam with kassim appeared and of course all the death ones o.o

looking forward to the next arc, still not sure how to rate it.... animation sometimes sucks

Sindria is a light-hearted fun arc with some training. It's an introduction to Sinbad's generals and the new main character, Hakuryuu.
