Shounen! WOOT.

I expected this to be good, and it hasn't let me down so far. Aladdin is probably the coolest character of all time. :ying:

I seriously wanted to beat Aladdin a couple times during the first ep. Naive characters ok but eating everything in sight (no concept of money) and his love of man boobs gave me many face-palm moments

I <3 bewb

And I thought alibaba was a girl. The series would probably have even turned out better if he WERE a girl. You know, the whole discrimination between women and men in ancient middle-eastern times makes the heroine more appealing.

Wait a sec, Did they forget to pick up red-head? :shock:
Almost as hard as fighting a Holy Paladin.

This is pretty much mandatory for any shounen. :l

FACEPALM

So they FINALLY decide to
Spoiler :
drag the girl along with them
But INSTANTLY GETS
Spoiler :
teleported to a completely different place
Aside from that, i like the premise of the role of the "Magi". Kinda OBVIOUS who he chooses, but still good. I also like the one-handed style of fighting Alibaba has (you know, the whole "french style" with one hand behind his back). Good story, but lots of areas where it could be different.

And i THINK there is a Jesus reference at the end with the
Spoiler :
crown of thorns thing.

You ain't kidding. While it was a fun ep, the ending left me with a big wtf face.
Spoiler :
KAMAAAAN, girl needs to join party. Where the hell did Aladdin go? I guess Alibaba gets to spend his loot now, I hope he does something nice with it...as in nice to other people...then off for another adventure to get more loot. His knife has a genie in it now, that's cool.

Eh, things seem to be more complicated than it should be, or at least more than I was expecting. I mean,
Spoiler :
Mahou Shounens (magis) who apparently have to decide who is king?
A (formerly known as) prince disguised as a pauper? (Though this is just speculation)
A fairly skinned girl who hails from a tribe of thunder thighs from the dark continent (whom I thought would also be a djinn or magi but I guess not)?
Will see how next few eps go. Will also be looking forward to Magi + Aladdin soundtrack AMVs in the future.
