    Calm your jimmies, the anime is just going original ending. We watch it, have a good laugh about how bad it was and then read the manga if we want more.

    I hope Morgiana kills the poor sack of shit. He's been a pushover after the first arc, ever since they got separated. He has zero determination, no willpower, and gets manipulated by pretty much everyone and everything. He's not naive or anything, he's just a slave to anyone who can speak coherent words. He refuses to listen to his friends unless they're kicking his ass, so we'd all be better off if Morgiana just kicked through his torso and they called it a day.

    Then Hakuryuu can take over Alibaba's role and the series will be stronger for it.

    Also pretty tired of mask-dude slaughtering his pawns so easily. They create some decent side characters, and he just keeps stabbing them the first moment they fail. If he's so powerful, he can do his own damn dirty work, and give them another chance to be even angrier and more powerful the next time.

    That or our heroes should save Dunya and maybe turn her frown upside down. Aladdin could create an elite task force of deposed royalty.

    So it is just me or is it obvious that Hakuryuu already obtained the Djinn when he made it to the treasure room and he's already used it to heal Morgianna and him losing his arm is going to be a non-issue?

    Sailor Alibaba? Wtf...

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

    I was about to bitch and moan about the episode, but it really just isn't worth it. I'll just say the lack of Morgianna goodness was a shame.

    The lack of adventuring killed it for me. Just go treasure hunting, or walk to Morg's homeland or something.

    The whole "I have to save the world, it's all my fault" storyline sucks. I really have to wonder at what goes on in the writers' minds (filler writers or otherwise). Do they seriously want to watch the stuff they pump out? :S

    I like it that Alibaba turns into the bad dude.. I also liked it when he was "leading" the gang back in his hometown, I thought it was a shame that he didn't get to fight Morgiana + Alibaba with his crew.
    nothing is more awesome than a broken hero on a rampage, cursing everyone on his way and everything he has done

    since Alibaba didn't believe in his own strength one bit, it actually makes sense to turn him into that guy

    shame, hate and regret are always a nice way to form characters into favorites
    if they seek atonement and understanding later, preferably right before they die, then thats even better

    exactly because the worst would be the opposite of him, naruto... but there is also Pain instead of Sasuke

    the broken one is always the better choice

    Fate - Shirou vs Archer, Saber, Berserker, Lancer etc. (god, this anime had so much despair its like bathing in a pool of tears and abandoned dreams, who does not like that and the characters)
    Code Geass - Zero vs Spinzaku


    and so on..

    even Light from Deathnote
    as soon as he realised he can't cleanse the scum from this world with just pure love and righteousness alone he became one of my favorites (which was like 10 minutes into the series), his corruption just added to that

    antihero > hero anytime

    NEVER!!!

    Hot-blooded badasses who never give up are the best characters in all of anime!

    The further removed you are from Kamina, the greater your failure as a character!

    gg - Episode 25

    -------------------------------------------








    Well, that's that (until October anyway). I would wish that Morg would go get herself a better man, but seeing how happy she was at the end means I'll have to settle with "I wish Alibaba would man the fuck up and stay that way".

    Take Sinbad for example. That guy eats curses for breakfast. Perhaps women as well, but Ali would die before that happens.

    Ah, it's coming back in Fall eh? That's cool.

    So how badly did the rushed ending to this arc fuck up what was in the Manga?

    It didn't feel rushed in the slightest. It was exceedingly refreshing it didn't feel horribly stretched like the previous arc.

    I'll watch the second season, but in all honesty I wouldn't have cared if it had stopped here. Even Morgiana can't keep this thing floating much longer.

    I agree,

    I wonder if Alibaba managed to get past his childhood issues now, it felt like he has at least. I'm waiting for more, wish I could enjoy reading manga because I really want to know how it'll continue

    I read somewhere that Ali Baba is not as useless and emo in the manga, and some anime changes like in the Zagan arc caused this disparity. I'm gonna start reading that now to confirm.

    The ending didn't feel rushed, it just felt shit.

    It was Alibaba After.

    I think i'll just pick up the manga and maybe skip on the second season, assuming it's just more of this. I don't feel the anime really did a good job of portraying the characters and actually skipped some interesting stuff i happened to end up reading.

    I will probably still watch the 2nd season just for some animated Mor goodness.

    I would greatly appreciate it if you can point me to where that interesting stuff is, since I don't plan to reread events covered by the 1st season.

    Chapter 1 (58 pages) was skipped by the anime, read it if you want to know who the two trader girls that randomly showed up half way through.

    Chapter 77 is the first chapter after the Balbadd arc. The events are similar to the anime with some differences, read it if you don't want to be confused by a few things later on.

    If you don't care about any changes and just want to continue from the anime events, read like 110. It's really hard to get an exact chapter for this because the anime switched some events around.

    Jesus christ, 110 chapters compressed into 25 episodes. That's like 4 chapters an episode.

    And people were STILL bitching that the pace was too slow.

    How fucking slow is that manga then?
