Good episode, very enjoyable.

But really, A-1 seems to enjoy fucking us up with these filler ending.

So, waiting for the filler ending. Hope, there will be the way to continue the story for s2.


Let me explain this to you.....
They legitimately took the anime and STABBED IT LIKE 4637632 TIMES until it became unrecognizable in that ending, destroying it all hopes for a Season 2, kinda like how they did that to Ao no Exorcist. But hey, they can always throw some filler Magi movie while they're at it.

Really like this. Don't care about manga, so ep was ok for me. Though it's a bit strange at some parts. Loved when Hakuryuu lost his hand and Dunya's death was quite tense.
So, waiting for the filler ending. Hope, there will be the way to continue the story for s2.
.__. you Need to watch more anime.

this episode 1/10 (1 because I still think the seiyuu's does a great job, otherwise, seriously there's nothing good in this episode at all, it was f*** painful to watch, I seriously question your mental health if you voted 'loved it' without trolling.)

Since I plan to read the manga after the final episode next week, based from the comments, they basically only altered Sindria and Zagan arc viciously but the previous ones are fine?

Because I don't want to start at the beginning especially Kassim and his BOREFEST of a story but if they altered too much from the get-go then I guess I'll endure it all :-/

Trust me when I say that you should read it from the beginning. It's a completely different experience and more importantly, you get the story told the way it should be. You'll even see Kassim in a new light since his story is anything but a "borefest" as you said so eloquently. Besides, the manga is a surprisingly fast read but once you're invested in the story, it's hard to stop.

I actually really enjoyed some parts of this episode, especially the Eight Generals' fights, Dunya's back story, and Hakuryuu's struggles, but I feel like it's heading into a questionable conclusion, mostly with that whole thing with Alibaba falling from grace. I'm only partly through the manga, so I don't know how much the anime ending is deviating from its respective chapters in the manga, but it's kind of unsettling to watch.

Alibaba just looks ridiculous...

To think that I actually thought the adaption was doing fine, good even, during Balbadd. Then they go around and spring this random original ending that goes completely against Alibaba's character. Great. I sincerely thought they could have ended right at the end of the Zagan business, albeit rushed. Though really, I was used to the rush due to how they sped through the earlier chapters. I'd much rather have a rushed ending than this original ending. Personally, I thought the end of Balbadd would be the best conclusion.

I love Magi.
I am disappointed in this adaption. Some of my manga-reading friends dropped very early on because they disliked it, but I thought it was decent enough.

Now the only reason to finish watching this is that I'm so close to the end, anyway.


Reboot when?

Poor Dunya, didn't think she would be dealt with like that... Entertaining episode though, doesn't look like there's any hope left for Alibaba. I hope it ends with a complete bad guy wins ending, would love to see Alibaba lead Al Thamen to world dominance (or Sindria dominance at least) instead of Aladdin and Sinbad conjuring up some bullshit.

Well, what's ruined can't be fixed easily. It's really sad seeing Kassim hated that much, I was expecting him to get more fans, but seeing how messed up his character became I also removed him from my favorites. Way to ruin such a great character, A-1. Even after rereading Balbadd in the manga once I dropped the anime, the anime's Kassim can't get out of my head. The anime killed that arc for whoever wants to read it once again. Maybe I'll read it again a couple of months or years later after I forget the existence of this crap.

Though if Balbadd to be read by anime-only viewers, they should read it for the missing and skipped panels and changed content, namely Markkio and Aladdin & Ugo's conversation, and some other stuff that was skipped in A-1's 5-chapter per episode pace.

I know. I also really would like to know who is going to give me back the love I had for Alibaba in the manga now, that I've seen him the adaptation. I just can't seem to like him anymore. T_T

It feels like they ruined everyone's character, Hakuryuu and Dunya are so different from the manga..
but Alibaba really got the worst treatment, I feel sorry for everyone who has him as fav char..
please keep Judal out of the next ep lol.

This didn't even happen in the manga what are they thinking.

Couldn't they have done something that STAYED with the manga and made a second season? They're pulling a Kuroshitsuji season 2 where it's going to the point of no return and fucking it up so that there CAN'T be a second season. And if there is one, well, it's gonna take some real skill to make it like the manga again.

Doesn't matter how much skill is invested in a sequel, they messed up too much to have it work. Alibaba is supposed to die according to the manga's logic after turning into a black djinn/king (whatever the fuck Alibaba is supposed to be now) due to the black Rukh slowly destroying his body. The same happened in Dunya's case. Even though Aladdin managed to save her temporarily by using Solomon's Wisdom, she died a few weeks later.
What this anime needs, is a reboot and a capable studio.

Lol, I guess A-1 got tired of animating this show, so they completely abandoned ship. Needless to say, this is quite bad. I see no good way of concluding the series in a single episode following this.
What a shame too. I thought this show would become a nice adventure shounen anime that would go 100+ episodes.

Reminded me too much of Star Wars and falling to the Dark Side.

Anyway, I suppose that the last episode is an original anime ending and from what I read there's going to be a season 2.

This was (probably) supposed to be a super epic ultra thrilling episode thingy but it lacks impact and everything just feels lame and bland. I'm almost 100% sure that this'll get 4/10, but the final episode might just be able to change that. (Yeah right...)

The original anime content just flies off totally. The design of dark djinn Alibaba is a bad rehash of Dunya's design. Couldn't they have made something else?

More importantly, Alibaba fell into depravity? He had already surpassed that psychological and emotional obstacle with the Balbadd Arc. It would have been best if Hakuryuu played that part instead. That change in content would've been more acceptable for me.
