Why are Fenalis so badass? Their scarlet hair? :o

The fight was okay imo. Muu and Myron were awesome though. I think Aladdin might of tried to bite off more than he could chew there but his magical skills have drastically improved. I remember when he could barely do a fire spell in the beginning..

Aladdin released that seal, not immediately recovery though. Other magicians joined, and war continued. Use of water and lightning still don't stop them. Use of dark magic. Complete recovery took time. Him releasing the power shocking everyone. Even Alibaba, who is not fighting and looking at it from the ship. He was able to stop the war, but not Mamo's character, as he raises his sword.

Looks like Ep.20 won't be aired until the week of February 23, 2014 because of Winter Olympic.

tsubasa, your episode descriptions are hilarious to read. One could even think you don't know any of the characters, seeing how you barely use any names. And who's Mamo? seriously LOL
For the record, I'm not trying to be an asshole here. Just pointing out something that amuses me greatly every single week. So in a sense, thank you!

The episode was crap, to be honest. It felt like A-1 wanted to get to Aladdin's part at all costs, sacrificing everything else along the way. And that sure worked. My heart broke several times upon witnessing the slaughter of the characters' dignity. Budget seems to be a huge problem for this studio, as they don't know shit about how to properly utilize it.

That was great. Aladdin's 3 ugo sand monsters were sick as hell, their screams were epic. The fanalis corps is meh tho. It'll be cool to see them in another battle maybe.

this certainly sounds like what they did with season 1.. spent all their budget on the first cour which was really good in order to attract viewers, then it ended poorly with sub-par animation and adaptation.

Wrong, they used "chikara mahou", which means power/strength magic. Meaning they used brute force to crack the borgs.

The Fanalis, that raw power. Incredible. Luckily for Magnostadt, Aladdin releases his Magi power just in time.

They didn't use brute force in the traditional meaning. Strength magic is one of the eight types of magic, so they did use magic to crack open those Borgs.

The "war" in season one never happened in the manga. Of course it was bad. And this Reim/Magnostadt war is *a lot* better in the manga, so I really recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy the full experience of it.

Mu, Muron and Rohroh nearly broke through the second barrier with strength magic, they are pretty tough, a three man army. The Ugo golems looked mighty strong and Aladdin did a good job to voice his opinion - though it looks like Mu is not having any of this shit ;P

Oh damn Aladdin revealing himself as a Magi. Is the flow of Rukh too much for Aladdin? So he had to release some of it then? Muu is not fazed. Hope to see Alibaba in action next time.

This episode was AMAZING. Aladdin is my favorite character of all times in the battle shounen terms. He is so powerful right now, he can annihilate anything, but still, his morality tells him not to do that. I love that. Masterpiece. 10/10.

I liked that episode, been waiting for Aladdin's epic revelation as a Magi. The warring ideology aspect is touched upon again, which is cool, but could have been explored more. Sheherazade's character still doesn't make much sense from up in her high horse.

On another note, I find the Fanalis people's strength hard to take seriously. They're more like an immortal legion of brutes than humans who happen to be stronger than the other humans. I thought so ever since that episode in s1 when Morgiana takes an arena full of beasts without breaking a sweat.

It's odd sometimes they are willing to show the gore (kinda) and others they show none of it. I think the scene in the first episode had everyone expecting "more" from Alibaba. Even so this episode was fine. I won't complain about manga differences because honestly as long as they avoid what they did last season I will be happy.

This episode is much better than last week, more intense and the fight has a good 'battle oomph'. However the animation quality still wandered off at some parts, so it's not as perfect as I hoped.

Glad that the first scene from eps 1 finally arrive, though it's not as epic as I thought it would be. I guess my expectation was a little too high. I'm not disappointed though, cause I really like the way Aladin handled the situation. And finally Mu has a good shot, here and there ;)

Now what will Mu and Alibaba and the Kou gang (considering Kouha is already lurking in the area) do next? I'm guessing something to do with Metal Vessels, and nope, I havent read the manga that far. So whether that's a spoiler or not, I can't even tell :). I restraint myself from spoiling my own fun, I usually continue my chapters only after finishing an episode.

Perhaps. I won't spoil it for you, but the Fanalis are more than one may think.

Mamo is Mamoru Miyano's nickname. I use seiyuu's name for the character (and I check the characters constantly) so that I try not to break the forum rule because I can only do summary for my comment.
