I liked how they re-used a lot of the background shots from the opening. Like the market/city scene where the three of them fly over a woman's head...only with them cut out of that scene in the episode itself.

I'm used to the animation by now, it's never been great.
They wasted their whole budget on that miserable, long-winded previous arc. But then again, aside from Morgiana's dance, there wasn't anything in this episode that would have warranted better animation. I hope it will get to more tolerable levels when things start to matter again.
As long as the action is animated well, I am fine with it.
I hope the Ali Baba X Morgiana pairing eventually happens, even if only hints of it appear before this show ends.
Peace.
I never really cared about shitty animation, just as long as its not jarringly shitty. I just hope we're done with Ali Baba tears for a LONG time to come.

Since gg, or rather Koda of gg, is busy with job interviews and other such inconsequentiality, gg is late, allowing the miracle of HS beating them to a release.

Nothing overly much managed to happen in this episode, if you ask me. However, I still enjoyed it well enough. It had a bit of Morgiana in the beginning and the Ko empire princess was funnier than I remembered, plus everybody automatically admitting Sinbad is fully capable of lecherous acts was a nice scene.
This kind of episode was exactly what the series had been lacking as the Balbadd arc dragged on, and on, and on. It's the reason I started watching this show in the first place. A quality action-comedy series.
I'm guessing someone is going to rework Morgiana's shackles into the nice bracers we see in the OP. That was an enjoyable scene. She's still so attached to something, but now in a warm way, to the very thing that had beaten her down all those years.
For a moment there, I actually thought that the princess herself was in on it.
Yeah, that seemed very likely for a while. But I got quite a strong impression from this episode that they are now trying to make her a less evil character, and more innocent and naive, thus ultimately more likable. Having her be a part of an underhanded plot would have undermined that. Well, assuming I got the right impression in the first place.Originally Posted by Ryllharu
What a fucking soap opera. All i took from that is that Morgiana is still cute and Jafar used to look really cool before Simbad housebroke him.
I had trouble imagining Jafar as an assassin when Sinbad first mentioned it, but now that we see a glimps of it.. yeah, he's pretty cool. Maybe we'll see him infiltrate some Organisation base and wipe out a whole lot of them or something.

I marathoned all 19 episodes
and the Balbadd arc didn't seem extremely long, boring or over the top (in terms of tears, tears everywhere)
in fact I was pleased by how much was going on everywhere, intrigue/economy/diplomacy/fighting etc.
I should marathon stuff more often, seems like I enjoyed this alot more than you guys did
even had tears rolling down during the part-away scenes.

That seems to happen when you marathon vs week-to-week.
I wasn't really annoyed at Shana2, but I could see that it could have been pretty damn annoying from week to week. I know many more series had the same effect, though I can't recall exact names right now.

For the record i also marathoned Shana and still think it's shit.

They're cutting a lot of important content from the manga, i hope that doesn't mean that this is going to end early or something.
It's only 24 episodes, right?
Peace.
I thought it was 25, but I've also read on gg's site that they're going to run out of material really soon.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Hardly. Really, if its only 24 or 25 episodes, they're running out of episodes. They need atleast 6 or 7 to properly show this arc.
I speak only when I feel it's necessary.

Best part of the episode: Morgiana's combo kick.
Alibaba's crying ruined the otherwise "okay" episode because the djinn's a dick.

I was instantly reminded of Clannad and Tomoyo. Even without a counter.
He cried for his dead friend's sake. I don't mind him crying (at least if it's relatively rarely) because it's much better than being a good for nothing introverted emo pushing everybody away for no reason at all.
I liked also the scene were Alibaba was congratulating Aladdin for being such a good mage. Now he only needs to get that close to Morgiana as well.
