After seeing the PVs and the art for this, it is definitely one my highly anticipated ones to watch in October!

Looks like they added new vids to the site.
PV3 and a TV Spot.
I’ll dig around for a YT vid, but I think they’re still too new yet.

-edit-

I guess this is post 6000.

I am looking forward to this. It is the titles name that I like. For the past history I always wanted to write this story called the Magi. I had a pretty good plot but I never wrote it down. So, on facebook, there was a title. It was called how would you make an anime. I had a story that worked pretty well and the title was the Magi. So, once I heard this I got excited especially to see if they somehow got my story and did something with it. Well, I found out different after reading the description. I am still excited to see how this anime works out. I really hope Sentai picks it up right away. Mainly, It is because I like how fast they do things. For example Persona was airing less than a year ago I believe. It is already coming on bluray and dvd next month. Viz takes about 2 years to get something done. Funimation takes about a year and a half. So, you get what I mean now.

6

Persona is a rather unique case, and it’s kind of suffering for it too, being a dub-only release.
Though I do agree, their current turn around time is very good considering the Japanese are not known for their release leniency time wise, between JP and US release.

7

Yeah I have to agree with the Persona. I pre-ordered the bluray edition even without a Japanese language. I guess if it took them longer it could of gone with better results. That isn’t the only case. Koihime Muso was developed in 12 episodes parts within a short distance in three different intervals. So far I am impressed with Sentai :).

8

Yeah, as I said, their current turn around time is very good.


There’s just way to many things coming in October that I want Sentai to pick up.
Though, there’s only four main ones that I want to see bad enough to get a TAN/CR simulcast for Fall:

Magi
Girls und Panzer
Chū-2
Btooom!

How old is this character supposed to be? Am I the only anime fan who misses the days of voluptuous/sultry female characters and writhes in the modern era where most all female characters seem to be much closer to lolis than adults in appearance?

Sometimes I feel like it.

I’m rather amused that you automatically assumed he was female.

If it, since it is sexless, is indeed male then that brings me to my “corollary complaint” about male characters looking wimpy, and about androgynous characters in general. So if it is an androgynous little boy who sees fit to go all Fairy Tale with the then-pointless bust tape (not that it would have really had a point anyhow), that’s actually worse IMO. We’ve gone from quasi-loli-land to Shouta-town in a single post. :frowning:

Seriously, more Golgo 13, less effeminate/androgynous little boys for the males. More appropriate bust, more curves, less faux-loli for the female characters. They go hand in hand, these complaints.

There was a time when anime featured men who looked like men and women who didn’t look like lolis with bust tacked on (if we’re lucky). I miss that time. I’m confident that it existed.

Magi - The Labyrinth of Magic’s Comiket 82 Trailer Posted

posted on 2012-08-30 06:35 EDT

Anime of Shinobu Ohtaka’s manga re-imagining of 1001 Nights to debut in October

Shogakukan’s Club Sunday website began streaming a new trailer for the Magi - The Labyrinth of Magic television anime series. The trailer first ran during the Comic Market (Comiket) 82 event earlier this month.

The original manga re-imagines tales from the classic story One Thousand and One Nights (also known as Arabian Nights). Shinobu Ohtaka, the creator of Sumomomo Momomo, has been serializing the manga since 2009, and Shogakukan published the 13th compiled book volume last month.

This 90th anniversary project from Shogakukan will premiere in October and run every Sunday at 5:00 p.m. on MBS, TBS, and their network of affiliates.

Hmm, given that this show is adapting a famous work of a culture that sanctions pedophilia, perhaps this underaged art style is actually appropriate? :stuck_out_tongue:

Though that makes the shouta-bait androgynous little boy highly ironic. I hear that’ll get you executed in Arabia today.
