so, I picked up the manga right after finishing the anime, had to do a little backtracking but they matched up pretty well all things considered. It's pretty good although they had a month long break due to a spinoff series starting or something. If you watched the anime and liked it definitely check out the manga, some really cool stuff happening

x2. Though I really don't get why they had to change stuff and make an anime original ending for S1. :| I mean, they adapted the rest of it pretty faithfully and it wasn't like it was a bad cut off point in the manga so it just seems so...pointless?

Anyway I LOL'd when Kouen turned up and destroyed Alibaba's chance of showing off his new awesome moves. :rofl:

Oh and the spinoff series is the Adventure of Sinbad. So it's pretty much how he became what he is today, it's quite interesting. :)

Just caught up, things are getting pretty real! Kouen's posse looks way more overpowered than Sinbad's >___>
Spoiler :
Just when you think Magnostadt was the final boss for this arc, crazy Kou Empire lady comes in with her giant ball from the sky. I wonder how it's all going to pan out...Is Kouen going to help Aladdin and fight his mother?

Damn, so many transformations. o__o Kouen's definitely looks the most badass though. :awesome:
Spoiler :
But I'm still wondering what they're gonna do about their mother. Do they even know that she was behind the whole thing?

I always thought they did? Assuming they know about the link between Gyokuen-->Kou Empire-->Judar-->Al-Thamen and Al-Thamen's ultimate goal of recreating the destruction from Alma Toran.

Freckles looks pretty cool, but I gotta hand it to Kouen. He's so awesome o__o Btw I found it a bit weird that Kouen looked 10 years younger on page 14-15. CHIBI KOUEN FOR THE WIN! :rofl:

I'm still wondering what Hakuryuu's been up to this whole time, or Morgiana. Was it just me, or did she show up in a few frames on the boat with the other finalis a couple chapters back... It may have just been a nameless character who looked like her though.

Jesus, those flesh wounds made me cringe. Kouen's all like "yeah, I just got my flesh ripped out, no big deal"

But Kyougoku's going real hard in the paint :ying: :up:
