We have 150+ chapter of Magi so far, and they would also be covered rather quickly, we would have to suffer through endless fillers to get to the actual main story again. I say this is much better. If Magi proves to be successful, I hope they do with it what they did with Bakuman: sever 2 cour seasons, taking a break after each one of them. Honestly, this is better than fillers  |
In theory, having an 'arc constraint' + 'episode count limitation' will result in some cuts or in some lesser cases, filler, for better or worse.
And changes tend to lead to complaints, anyway. It's rare that anime original changes leap above and beyond the original source material... and even when they do, there still are complaints.
