I'm willing to close one eye considering Kaori Ishihara is still new to the industry and this is her first young boy role. Besides she is the voice of Kanna.

It was a villain or side character, not one of the main girls. Nagisa just says ARIENAI, she doesn't have a foul mouth.
The thing is he supposed to sounds like girl, whatever that means.
I watched enough.

Xin ought to get some commendation or become a commander or something after this that was just awesome, and Qiang Li, he better get one too. Numerous shocking moments

I kind of wish we could see with Sei and Diao are doing .

Qiang Li swinging the sword after Wei Ping? tripped, and then their leading general still running even after having an arrow in the chest, and then even Qiang Li decimating foes with dance, and best of all Xin's awesome jumping ability

Forget Aladdin I can live with him...or her I can pretend it's her even if the va sucks, it's the alibaba in this I can't listen to, oh god such a generic voice it's like they blanded him up so viewers can relate to him, as matter of fact non of the character feel as energetic and charming as they are in the manga.
I can agree on alibaba character design has always been shit but his character didn't get it the way fo my enjoyment.

Others have been pretty iffy on it. Don't know if anyone else outright hated it though.
He still might be.
We're only spreading the good word.

Maybe it's because Kaori Ishihara and Yuki Kaji have been in so many things this year, but the voices in Magi didn't bother me at all beyond a "oh, she/he is in yet another show" reaction.
Others are iffy because they have read the manga. If the show is more than 2 cours then changes wouldn't have been made I guess.
You don't? But I do! If you like this stuff, you are SICK!
Indeed. Thankfully the world of Psycho Pass will free us from the reign of such miscreants.

Kinda meh opening. The show is cute, but nothing is really grabbing me. Will continue watching, but this is no where near the level of Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun or Sukitte Ii na yo for that matter.
Preeeach!
Keep the faith!

Eh, I read the manga (admittedly after watching the first episode) and it feels like people exaggerate how much more "interesting" or "energetic" the characters were in the first 2-4 chapters of the manga. It seems that way from my perspective, anyway. I think the anime is doing well enough.
He's pretty amazing, but the script is decidedly mediocre. No Country for Old Men was definitely the better film that year.
I don't have a problem with opinions, it's the facts. You acknowledge the Dezaki influence and realize that it wasn't cheap, rather something Ikuhara does stylistically, and he'd probably do it regardless of the budget he had, right? So it's not exactly cheap then. We're all good. I don't mind if you think it looks bad or not. I could see a point being made against the SD art in KnT/etc for being jarring, but I doubt they're there because the artists were lazy. Personally I dislike frequent visual gags but I'll be fine with them if they're done right. The worst example of them done wrong is in shows like Bakemonogatari or Nisemonogatari (based off the gifs of Nise, did not watch) where there's random visual gags without rhyme or reason with different artstyles and gag types each time and it just comes off as really slapdash and visually incoherent.
The problem here is, of course, when people like Firemind are wrong or trolling and like to spin in circles instead of admitting their mistakes.
But I apologized to you and offered to help you understand more about animation and why I (and just about everybody else was in disbelief at your posts too) reacted the way I did!
Sometimes I think this thread really deserves the astoundingly low signal to noise ratio it has thanks to posts like this.

The only things I believe in are cute, yuri, and Hatsune Miku. :3
well
most anime tends to look like a homogenous gaggle of genetically perfect pretty people
One Piece has the best character differentiation for a battle shounen, having characters like usopp, franky and chopper in the main cast

Yep. I had the same problem with Ed in the Cantonese dub of FMA:B. Although that one sounded worse because she sounded like a middle-age Chinese woman.
There are examples of people who, if they don't sound like boys, at least don't sound like girls. Kobayashi in Ginga is an example someone already brought up.
Isn't that standard for all Americans though?
That Tiger always looked funny to me...
Girls like boys, regardless of the decade!
So Aladdin will
get horribly friendzoned and then cry delicious tears?
lol
Just hit the last page button!
How do you know they weren't being lazy? Are you one of the artists Brains Base hired?
For the record, I never implied it looked cheap. I said it looked jarring, which is an opinion. So kindly get off my back.
That's part of the reason why I'm so excited for Skyfall this year. Kinda ironic, considering how different two films are!
You pretend like you don't know! Aren't there KFCs up there in our hat?
Nah man, this is the age of purity!

SMILE PRECURE 30 & 31
Since i've just seen joker finally back with some lines i was expecting ..something ..
because let's face it smile precure is very average ( even by magical girl show standards ) without joker ...
BUT
BUT
Dammit if this isn't lazy writing ...first after an ep 30 where they ignored all the rules they themselves set in the start of the show
AFter the akanbe , the super akanbe ....i get ...
an HYPER AKANBE ?
Screw this ... i'm glad i'm catching up actually ..because this is ridiculous .. Even with joker that was the most intresting ennemy since dark precure ... smile precure will never rise to the level of splash star or heartcatch because of things like this ...
Dammit
Even more revolting is that the resulted to copy even almost word to word to the same jokes as ep 6

There are, but there are also plenty of examples of the opposite. It was definitely a stretch to say that all young boys not named Ao sound like girls though. Like I said before, I'm just surprised that other people are surprised about this, especially for a character like Aladdin.
Maybe he means that, by then, discussion will be SAO exclusive.

How else would we ever reach that heights? Talking about other shows?
I said I doubt it was just them being lazy. I never claimed to know. Of course, you wouldn't have been able to write down that clever "u work for brain base!?!" thing you did there without shuffling that around. Nor did I say that you implied it looked cheap, I said you implied it looked lazy. I also acknowledged your opinion, that it could be seen as jarring, so naturally, I am off your back. I was never there. All of these things are covered in the same single line in my previous post:
As you can see, a) doubt, not know b) lazy, not cheap c) recognition of your opinion
And just as a refresher so you don't try to say that you didn't imply that it looked lazy either:
By stating that you imagine that the artist got lazy going off of how it looks, you are indeed implying that it looks lazy.
Mmm, Aladdin's voice didn't really bother me when I watched it, but I can see how it would bother others watching it again. Well, hopefully the anime is good enough that it doesn't matter.
Probably not. Well, there's a new best girl, apparently.

You've won Toei , i'll watch smile precure untill the end ( or at least untill joker stay dead permanently )
Joker should be the vilain in every magical girl show ... even in nanoha he would be able to make things even more intresting..
Joker VILAIN FOR LIFE
It's almost ugly how "joker" get my hopes up each time he is on screen ... the only reason he loses he because of the "plot" armor of the heroines ...

My Little Monster 2 (Tonari no Kaibutsu Kun)
Episode had its moments though was kind of a struggle to get through. I guess this is kind of an episode that reminded me of why I could never and wouldnt ever get into these type of romance stories. The ones that I do read often have more intriguing and better main characters and friends. I just cant get behind Shizuku at all, and she just bores me to be honest. Worst the character introduced was far from cute, contrary to her beliefs ,and has such a dull personality. I dont know, really couldn't care for either of them.
Anyway Haru gave an excellent moment and awesome line right from the start that made me smile and stuff "Everything tastes good when Im with you". I always like these kind of lines, my favorite type of romance characters always shoot these lines out.
Sasahara is amazing and needs way more screentime, and I think he sounds at times like Yuki from Tsuritama, if Im remembering the voice right.

Pretty nice, apart from the character's art, which does no justice at all to the original work. I'd even go as far to say that it undermines the anime's potential because I don't really see it lending itself to accurately portray the awkwardness of certain situations as well as certain facial expressions.
Still for a start it was good so I'm happy. For now anyways.

Yeah, I don't really think one kid's gonna be the ruin of a cultural festival but I'll give her and her prekrew some bonus points for trying hard to reach a compromise that makes everyone happy. Next week's episode is gonna own bigtime and the movie kinda reminds me of that 3DS (or psp i cant remember) game.

i aim to please
Nothing about My Little Monster feels lazy or cheap though. I can understand not liking aspects of a show, but it's literally one of the shows this season so far with the highest production values.
I think we each made our own version of that cap, truly a pinnacle moment for anime.
