I think the criticisms of the anime are perfectly valid. The anime can still be a decent watch in spite of that, and provide some fanservice for manga readers with animation of some of their favorite scenes. However, manga readers are of course going to be displeased when an inferior version of something they love is presented to other audiences. An anime adaption doesn't need to translate everything perfectly 1-1, but the rate of the adaption here is just ridiculously fast.

Wait, so the second season is gonna be in 2016?!?! where did you hear all of that from?? From the way the manga is going now, by the time ep 26 hits, he could be VER close to finishing the show, he'd just need the show to not run for the second 2-cour part, and just run the rest of the anime after that for 26 more eps...
I don't mind the pacing issues blah blah blah, I just get annoyed at the fact that studios cream their pants too soon by jumping the gun and adapting a series in which the source material is no where near complete i.e. zetman, Naruto deadman wonderland, chrome shelled regios, d.gray man, bleach, soul eater . . .I can go on for days listing shows like that. If this is gonna be another one like that, then I'll just marathon it when it's done. Also, it seems in the Manga/anime world, a lot of creators develop "George R.R. Martin syndrome" in which they keep the story going on ...and on. . .and on...and on.. instead of just GETTING TO THE POINT and ending it in a timely manner. . .not stretching it on until death do us part... the only thing I can KIND of excuse (but not really) is one piece, mostly because Oda's already foreshadowed pretty much what he's got planned for the whole story. He has the story outline pretty much done, and has basically told the readers what he plans to do, just the execution is taking so damn long. but most of those that I mentioned? all of those had the author pretty much writing themselves into a corner, meander with the story for way too long, and find themselves at a loss of how to end their story. . . This is pretty much my main gripe with anime/manga at this point. Stories have a beginning middle and end. . . not a beginning, and middle that goes on for years and years and years to either have some abrupt b.s. end (Negima, although that wasn't really all Ken's fault) or just. . .never end. I think if authors really buckled down and got serious about making a cohesive story and got the the point, then it would be a lot better for everyone involved, Animes could be made that had satisfying stories at a decent length, mangakas would be able to make more money since their story is going to have its popularity boosted by going to anime and not having to worry about catching up to unfinished material, which would increase the amount of great titles to choose from, which would in turn, encourage more people to buy those titles...and on and on. but there's a lot of short sightedness in Japan (in a variety of entertainment industries. . .speaking from experience) in which everyone sacrifices long term growth, for short term gains (happens in the states too but Japan its really surprising how much MORE it happens there.) |

And while I don't know anything about the shows you mentioned, Bleach needed to die. So does Naruto. And besides, if a series goes on for a long time, it loses steam and starts going downhill...which is what happened to Bleach. Oda and One Piece just hit the jackpot. Quote:
Maybe I just haven't seen anything that comes close like that...though I hear that the author of Berserk just publishes whenever...same with the artist who does Hunter X Hunter Quote:
Didn't the mangaka of D Grayman stop for awhile since they were in the hospital? Quote:
Again, Japan has their own set of rules for what makes a series sucessful. In this case, since its characters are in the polls in anime magazines, I'm sure Magi will be around for quite some time. |

Looks like Space Cruiser Yamato remake is taking the nichi-go spot after Magi.
Hopefully when manga volumes are up to vol. 20~24ish they can have another season. The anime has been very successful and the manga volumes increased exponentially since the anime started, in fact more Magi volumes sold in 2012 than all the previous years combined. Quote:
You're looking at it from completely uninvolved viewer standpoint, while the companies are looking for gains. You may argue by bringing up Jojo, but IMO, Shuueisha could have made much higher profit margin were they to pursue that franchise back in the 80s than right now.

Kougyoku strikes me as someone who would be far more comfortable with a knights sword in her hand rather than a queens crowd on her head. You almost get the sense she's envious of Hakuei in this episode as opposed to feeling more privileged because of her official princess status like she claimed.

This thread is strangely quiet..
I wasn't expecting things to be resolved in the manner that they were. Alibaba did well in those talks. Kougyoku.. is surprisingly likable. On first impression, she seemed very violent and probably still is. But it was nice to see that she doesn't seem to favor violence over talking things out, even if agreeing to Alibaba and Sinbad's terms was something she'd personally benefit from. Oh, and she's quite cute with all her blushing. Since people were talking about how the manga is superior to the anime, I feel like I should check it out since I'm enjoying the anime so much, but reading the manga may decrease my enjoyment of the anime (as fast paced as it may be) and it may disappoint me in the long run if it turns out not as superior as people here have claimed it is. So, I must ask: is it really all that much better? |

Resolution for the country: Democracy!! How many shounen series have a diplomat solution like this ? I bet not enough to count on my hand and this is one of Magi's strong points .
Kougyoku just agreed with Alibaba so she can meet Sindbad again

Good episode: looks like Kassim returns next week. And I can't tell who's the real mastermind with the dark rukh, since they're both voiced by Shinichiro Miki... I kind of like Kougkyou though...she seems smart enough to realize that everything's bs. She'll make a good politician one day. Though I suspect that she agreed more so she can go ogle Sinbad some more.. |
