THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
DAT OST.

I always knew pirates were up to no good. Morgania was pretty cool which I wasn't surprised about. She was always pretty cool in this series imo. Now, that Madaura was someone I did not trust from the very beginning (from the manga as well).

Nice fan: http://i.imgur.com/b4f9dHB.png
I think I remember this thing from the manga. Now, Aladdin, you are such a bro. :3. That ending though...I hope Hakuryuu can pull it together.

lol ~ she's more aggressive than the two guys.

"Madoura"'s power is scary. They almost got controlled by her because of yearning of mother's love. Only Hakuryuu became enemy and transformed because he yearns mother's love the most from the parents getting assassined.

The episode was good but I didn't like the animations at some moments. It made the ep look boring. Though I did enjoy it. Can't wait for the next ep to come.

It's just that the anime is doing things too randomly they stopped making sense. Why did Um Madaura or her children catch Aladdin if Alibaba and the others are also children in her eyes? Why did Um Madaura retreat when the others came and let Aladdin come back to them? To brainwash them all again? Then why on earth was catching Aladdin fucking necessary?
Skipping the underwater battle was also unnecessary. They could've put it instead of having such an awful pace after changing some content. Or are they yet again lazy to animate more shit?

Another thing that still bothers me from last episode: How did Alibaba and the other 2 land safely after jumping from such a long distance?

Conclusion: A-1 is creating more pointless bullshit. Though all of that didn't bother me as much as how they skipped the Shish Kebab panels.. *goes to buy some*

Lots of crying. Madaura is evil. EVIL!
This and the last episode has been slower than the usual pace. Though from the preview for next time it looks like it'll take some fast steps. Hakuryuu in half-djinn mode coming up!

Damn, I knew something was missing. Too bad, anime-watchers missed a cool fight

Or maybe A1 burned through the budget when they animated the Sinbad Vs Kougyoku fight. I'm sorry, I normally wouldn't whine, but this episode could have been more action packed than just sadness and flashbacks.

Zzzz, this felt like a repeat of season 1's ending, the whole "remember your friends and regain your will" trope can only be used so many times...and I usually never notice or comment on animation but LOL @ that stair scene, looked awkward even to me. This series is starting to get cringe worthy, but I'll maintain faith.

My favorite moment will happen next episode. Lets hope that A-1 does not screw it up, but after what happened with the Jerza scene in Fairy Tail before the magic games I have some faith!

the animation budget must have been like $10 especially when they were climbing up the stairwell. xD

Yay Morgiana! But, I won't be blinded by my love. This arc is really sucking right now. I hate whenever someone in a group turns against the others unless it's of their own free will. It made it worse that it was so predictable at that. The pacing seems pretty bad too. Nice preview, spoiling the next episode.

Oh well. Reading the forum posts make me happy that I haven't picked up the manga yet. I hate anime that don't follow the manga and end up making the series terrible.

OMG NEXT EPISODE IT'S DAT SCENE. QQ
The only part of the manga that I searched up to read because I was so curious about it. :>

Agreed, I also felt that it was missing something, and I found out why after reading your spoiler. Ugh why didn't they animate that scene? :( And I'm pretty sure A-1's budget all went to Galilei Donna unfortunately. Seriously the visuals look great in that anime while Magi looks like crap almost half of the time...

Complaints aside, Morgiana was awesome as always, I love how Alibaba and Hakuryuu were just like, wow it sounds like hell in there.

Usually I am pretty bad at noticing weak animation,
but it is super obvious even to me that A-1 is cutting major corners.
I mean seriously, that stair scene is a gif...

At least, I can still pray for the possibility "Magihood - Labyrinth of magic"...
The worse this adaptation is, the more likely the chances.

I was eagerly waiting for the stair scene when I watched this and holy hell was it worth it. Can someone possibly explain to me why Aladdin does nothing? I can understand around the table that he witnesses they are all children who are getting some perks from the pirate life(nakama, food, and someone with a hook hand) but when Madaura reveals herself as the key dark figure behind this or when the trio come to rescue him is he so passive? She must be omitting dark rukuh or simply brainwashing him is a clear sign of being a bad person so why nothing? I was scarred that the kids in the hallway were going to drag the episode out due to Alibaba having a flashback of Kassim and something else and start crying because he loves to do that.

I think it's a mix of both good and bad animation (way more bad though), just prior to the stair scene when they were fighting against the guys in the bubble that part was actually animated above average for the series. Seems A-1 put all this ep's budget into that then just cut corners with the rest.

Counting the scenes they removed then it took a lot longer.

OMG, this studio knows how to change stuff for the all sake of why not and because of those changes make the series a lot worse than the original.

Weak, Hakuryuu, weak. Where's that will that the other 3 have?
