    Watch both eps as they came out.
    Nice feel to it, it's not mind blowing, but nice.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    You know a main character has his priorities right when he likes to eat lots of good food and fondle breasts as a dessert.

    This looks like a jolly show based on the two first episodes. I hope Morgiana joins the main gang soon; she seems interesting in the broken character kind of way.

    It's refreshingly entertaining in its simplicity (and I'm a sucker for journey/adventure shows), but it's not so completely good natured in the exposition. Noticeably matter of fact depiction of slavery, the sharif happily poking slaves in the back over and over, Alibaba and Morgiana repeatedly valuing his own lives over their principles, and Aladdin displaying early symptoms of starvation (not rousing when moved), etc.

    The gags and use of deformed animation are at all the right points, and the combat has been okay so far.

    It's one of those shows you don't have to think too hard about while enjoying it.

    I like this so far, but the poking really bothered me. I really thought that the big oaf was killed after getting stabbed over and over, but then he reappears in the next scene without a scratch. The same goes for Ali Baba's arm.

    Episode 3

    I freaking love Morgiana's design.

    I've been following the manga chapters after watching the episode and it seems they've been skipping a few non essential but interesting details. I'll definitely be reading it once this is over since there's a 0% chance for a second season.

    [gg] - Episode 04

    I like this show but the production values are abysmally low. I also didn't get enough Morgiana this episode so that sucked.

    This episode was okay, but also it's only a big warmup for the next. I opened up a can of coke when the happy ending came around - boy did I spit coke on my screen on the final 15sec of the episode.

    I was all the time thinking it was going far too smoothly, especially since we know the princess's camp is polluted by the scumbag general. If the man could behave like that in front of the princess, then there's no reason he couldn't act behind her back to make sure there will be a war. I reckon the slavers were his direct underlings or associates. He creates war that creates slaves that create profit. Thus, as long as he's around, there won't be happy endings.

    It remains to be seen if the Yellow Fang is merciful enough to forgive the princess. In the end, the douche general is technically under her service, so she's responsible for his deeds as well, whether she knows anything of them or not.

    Hah. When the general was telling how much he loves war and can't get enough of it, his voice immediately started to ring bells in my mind, and, lo and behold, he's voiced by Hellsing Ultimate's Major. Those lines could have been straight from Hellsing, as well. They surely chose the right man to voice act this dude.

    Other than that, there was even less of Morgiana in this episode than in the previous! She only appeared in the preview, but at least it looks like the next ep will be hers.

    This show is starting to remind me a bit of the twelve kingdoms. It looks like the story is going to span a number of different areas in the world, you're going to watch a character or two become royalty, and you're going to see allegiances form between them. Those things, together with the lack of missteps make me a little excited to see the show progress. And um...Morgianna's thighs.
    "You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

    It might be specific, but it's at least highly understandable. Although she's a former slave at this point.

    There's no limit to Morgiana's power, especially when she remembers she's no longer a slave. Now she even added fus ro dah to her repertoire of fighting skills. Alibaba should try to keep her close if he intends to be made a king by Aladdin.
