    Aladdin is Alibaba's Magi. He will never be Sinbad's, Kouen's, or anyone else's.

    The anime has caught up with the manga. It will be a while before we get a new anime for this

    And Alibaba hardly has any ambitions or plans of his own. I guess that suits Aladdin just fine, since their values are largely similar (such as wanting to visit brothels) and both would want to stop Al Thamen above anything else. That wouldn't really end up making Alibaba a king of any country, though. It could be better that way in any case, considering he doesn't really have the mindset of a king.

    But Alibaba is a prince of Balbadd. If he wants to save his country, he will inevitably be king.

    Oh yeah, just an aside, I'm pretty used to the trope of someone yelling at someone who has just died for them to open their eyes or get up.

    Usually, the body in question is not a fucking skeleton. Did you really think he might have just been unconscious Sphintus?!

    Man, 3 of the 6 anime I was watching ended this week.

    When does Fairy Tail and Jojo start up again?

    I never meant that Aladdin would actually become Sinbad's Magi. That was never in question. The loss is that from Sinbad's perspective, Aladdin is out of reach and is being held in Kou. From our perspective as viewers, he was never in reach, but as far as Sinbad's concerned Aladdin just got a whole less accessible.

    As for Titus, if he's gained any maturity he'll remain somewhat independent.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    I would think he'd either take Sche's place as Leam's Magi, or he'd stay with the magicians out of attachment to them.

    Either way, he still ends up allied with the 7SA.

    He was plenty less accessible already in Magnostadt. He spent quite a long time there studying. I can't imagine he would have stories to tell in Kou for quite that long a time. Unless Kouen notices he can keep Aladdin around forever by promising (and delivering) a new big boobed girl to amuse him every few days. Though on the other hand Kou is exactly where Aladdin & Alibaba should be going considering the witch of Al Thamen is right there.

    I mean, we didn't even get to see Morg interact with all those Fanalis from Leam!

    What are the 6? I'm looking for some new stuff.

    I just marathon'd this series in the past couple days. I have mixed feelings. I think I feel similarly about this anime as I do about Lupe Fiasco's music - it's certainly very enjoyable, although I could do without the antisemitic undertones. I understand that it's an arab-themed anime, but I think certain details were a bit overboard.

    For example, the banker. The character is not "Jeffrey the Banker" or "Bob the Banker"; it's simply "a banker", villainizing all bankers as well as the fiat money system and the concept of interest on loans. I could let this fly as simply not a big deal, if it didn't turn out that the main antagonist was an evil wizard named Jewdal.

    Sinbad seems to be a little bit OP as well. Purposely letting his items get stolen and getting cursed because he just does not give a fuck resembles Zaraki Kenpachi a bit with wanting a challenge, but if he stopped being such an arrogant prick about it, half the unnamed characters in this show might not have died.

    I also don't know how I feel about them instantly being friendly with the Kou princess. Maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but is she not the one who, during the magis' first battle, came in and said "oh, those are your friends? Kill them all." and probably killed a lot of them, for no fucking reason. I don't care how cute and innocent she seems, bitch needs to repent.

    Naruto would prob want to shoot a rasenshuriken at Aladdin too for all that destiny talk.

    Putting all this aside, it was a pretty good watch. Hopefully season 2 comes out in the next year or so, but by the looks of it doesn't look like that will happen.

    Ah jeeze. You expect me to remember 3 months later?

    Wait, no, I remember.

    At the time it was Naruto, One Piece and Hunter X Hunter(like it always is). And then Magi, Hajime No Ippo and Kill La Kill all ended at the same time.

    You mean Season 3? This WAS season 2.

    Does stuff like Hellsing, Black Lagoon and Ghost in the Shell count as that?

    Technically a "season" would be 13 weeks since that's how long a season lasts for (and four of those make up a year), but I suppose fine-lining series and seasons isn't always worth the effort.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    They are called cours, and yes, it usually lasts 12-13 episodes. 24-26 episode ones are called 2 cour shows.
