@Takashichea:

I know, it hurts me to read comments of anime-only watchers and see they didn't get a thing from anime's rushed explanations. And characters development is non-existing. But skipping things isn't the only bad thing they did. Alternating scenes (eg. putting Mor in the 1 episode where she shouldn't have been) = plot holes. I can't say anything about anime-original scenes, because they are terrible. What's more, what they did to art/animation is just really bad (some derp faces... yeah... and the beginning looked nice!). And I really don't have a mood to mention more... The only thing I liked are seiyuu. Well, most of them. You've said that they should give manga one more year, but if they covered up to Balbadd Arc, as was originally planned, it might be okay. Not too long, not too short. And maybe second season in the future.

All in all, they just wanted money without even trying and Magi seemed popular enough, so they made it even more mainstream that it originally is and yep, more money! I can say many bad things about currently loved Sword Art Online's adaptation, but it, at least, was much closer to the original and much, much better drawn (and Yuki Kajiura's music, but don't mind me, I'm her fan).

By the way, about Hakuryuu's you-know-what. What the hell are they going to do with it? I can't see when they will have a time to you-know-what. So, why even bother to put that art in ending?
