Another series that requires me to have my nephews reviewing analysis. This is all for a good cause.

I'll take the synopsis to mean that the flute is actually his best friend. The genie inside would be the prick that won't help him escape.

This is going to be an epic series I just read the latest chapters I look forward to how many episodes this series go through in each arc. And of course how well it follows the manga.

[Amario]

Great first episode! Absolutely great voice actors and the delivery of how this is too the manga is done quite well. As usual keeping the djinn Ugo's face hidden until the right time.
Animation quality is good and the characters especially Aladdin is awesome. From the opening credits seems like it will be running for a long run which is just fabulous.

Oh man Aladdin and Alibaba love for breasts women is just awesome. And what a quick entrance to the third character Morgiana (Mor). Aladdin's concept of the outside world is pretty clear that he is no clue of and goes off to explore.

Definitely my favorite series for this season so far.

The highlights.

The moment when you know.....our protagonist.


The dungeons.


He loves big breasts, this main character is showing some great qualities.


Standing tall on a flying turban....

Oh man I recognize the animation style... the characters become deformed when they're moving too much. Its actually terribad, but surprisingly, it holds up and manages to be somewhat appealing. Same goes for art which serves its purpose and does push further. Its not a surprise this is low budget considering its planned for four cours.

Boy, Aladdin is one perverted brat considering he doesn't know much about the outside world. Armed with a Djinn that has a butthole where its head should be, he's gonna travel the world with a young Alibaba and Morgiana to conquer dungeons that are spread across the world.



Jokes in SD mode are pretty funny.

The first episode was pretty good and the humor was also spot-on. Aladdin's voice is gonna take a little getting used to though considering its done by a female who's trying her best to sound like an eight year old kid. But I'm sure she's gonna get away with it since he's a runt.

One thing is for sure, there ain't ever gonna be a dull moment when this kid is around. This is shonen through and through.

First episode is not gonna blow your mind but the show's got heart and some decent action with a lead that's gonna attract skeptical grins from some and nods of approval from others. One thing's for sure, you'll definitely wanna watch the next episode.

I've read the manga a bit but is Ugo supposed to be blue?

[TadashiED]

...or girls xD

I really did enjoy this first episode. Out of all the ones that have started recently, this is probably one of my favorites. Everything was enjoyable.
For some reason, I really like the VA on Aladdin and I'm glad that fat pig got knocked out every time.

I'm really hoping this series doesn't dull up and it keeps delivering a good performance each episode. And it's scheduled for 4 cours? Gonna be awhile haha.

[Dao]

Loved the first episode, a few giggles here and there but the environment that its set it really makes this series good for me. Red head is pretty cute :3..

[Des]

I thought this was supposed to be Genie

Lol at Aladdin for snuggling with that ***hole's manboobs.

I liked the first ep.

Ah so that's who Alibaba is. The boss of the forty thieves.
Other than that, can someone tell me more about him? I don't remember the story about him

[Ghostel]

i really like the adaption into anime, especially how great the art looks rather in the manga... also the opening is really promising as i saw characters that are way later in the manga... i really hope for a long run on this one as it's Just Great.!!!! ~

[gonzozoid]

Good, I'm going to watch it then. I was afraid they might mess it up somehow.

[UrsaMajor]

Firts episode was surprisingly fun to watch. Story seems interesting and the characters are likable, particularly like the badass genie. I just had to smile when the slave girl made him blushed. Hopefully the series will continue to deliver.

[st2l]

The beginning was pretty LOL
That Aladdin sure is one clueless kid.
Alibaba got himself and interesting leech.
Those two together are like a trouble magnet.
It was nice how Alibaba finally found some courage.
Nice first episode. Interesting concept. Has lots of potential.

[Wretched Egg]

as much as i dig the cute redhead morgiana...

rather sad when i realized how many yaoi alibaba x aladdin doujins are gonna sprout from this. scared really.

[gonzozoid]

I think it was a great first episode.

[lpat]

The setting of this anime is a really nice change from other series this season; definitely going to watch.

[Bluff]

Aladdin sound like a girl. Are we living in a world where main boy characters have girly voices now? Meh.
Anyway, I thought Alibaba was the protag because of how the story goes. I got frustrated at him at the time he goes 'Someone save them'. Good thing he jumped to rescue them.

Oh, and I'm not dropping this because of the red-haired slave.

[CrapFace]

anyone know who the composer is for this series? reminded me of Shirō Sagisu near the end

[demx]

I gotta get use to those body morphs.
