As a non-reader of the manga, I'm wondering if someone can answer a question which I don't think is spoiling because it concerns what's already happened. Is this trend in the anime - Alibaba angst becoming the focus of the series more and more - carried over, or a major change? I'm quite disappointed at the direction the series has gone - Aladdin seems to have been reduced to a minor side character/mascot, and we have what comes off a traditional shounen focus on a very formulaic shounen lead who seems like the least interesting person in the cast.
Aladdin is most of the energy and humor in the series for me, and Morgiana and Sinbad's merits are pretty self-evident. It feels as if the elements that made the series seem unusual and distinctive and being buried by the ones that make it seem predictable and conventional.
