Magi anime has started off much stronger than One Piece, and Ill even say Bleach, Fairy Tail, and Naruto.
Aria the Animation. The contrast between the setting of Aria and the to-be setting of the NE coast will be funny.
If he's on a cliff by the sea he's already dead so I'm trying to keep it optimistic!
I appreciate these recommendations.
Ah, didn't know you had already watched it. This is why recommendations can get so confusing!
WATCH JOJO DAMN IT
You can always just watch Oreimo again
and use your old Moejita avatar, it was so much better than this new one. 
Excellent.
I need to make an edit of this with "wiseblade" instead of Rossiu
Remember what happened to the manga thread the last time we did this? Let's not do it again.
I don't.
Worst character from the show besides the whiny girl.
You missed Spiegel, Fuunsaiki, Sinaju, and we can't forget the best gundam of them all:
There are others, but I can't remember them.
Sweet, thanks for all the stuff, AnimeGAF! I think I'm good with this.
Yes, I have already been converted by Hitokage a few seasons back. So much imagery~
I REFUSE
So I guess you guys know what us Gulf Coast gaffers go through every year now.
Now this sounds like my kind of animu.
Nothing is too cute!!

You're good people Envelope.
The disconnect is indeed rather large, as
-the first episode, out of the introductory three, is the best out of the lot
-manga didn't 'suck' early on; the characterization and the setting it introduces remains consistent all throughout, and is vital for all the events that follow
-the anime didn't focus on the 'positive,' nor did it discard the negative. It would imply an understanding of the material that is quite beyond the team here. It was just a bare-bones presentation of all the 'important' events, but it didn't even do that faithfully in order to shoehorn in the female lead as early as possible.
-fuck yo couch, sketchy source material my ass

On Romney's first day in office, somewhere between repealing the Emancipation Proclamation and starting a nuclear war with Russia, he's going to sign an executive order expelling Envelope from the country.

The travel guide part was actually pretty fun this time, more than it usually is. Marii's mongolian spot seems to be missing here, not that I'm complaining. Fun stuff.
And everything is better with ninjas. It's a proven fact.
Not as awesome as the last episode was, but it was still pretty good.

You've been around the block, huh? Hard out there for a pimp?

If they were all adapted like episode 4, we wouldn't have to worry about the manga until the anime ends. Unfortunately, they probably won't be. You should still read the manga (and read the first 15 chapters right away, at least before the next episode).
Was feeling bored at lunchtime today and took my original Dio Brando edit a little bit further:
These three work so well.

Magi 4
Even though I've really enjoyed the previous episodes, this was definitely a noticeable improvement. It was very well-paced, as it introduced several interesting characters and spent the majority of time focusing on Aladdin's development and establishing a singular setting, rather than chaotically shifting perspective throughout. The tone was more restrained and less comedic, but I thought it complemented the introduction of this arc really well.
Although it was quite brief, Alibaba and Morgiana's opening conversation was nice. Hakuei is a rather compelling character, and it will be interesting to see which

As for the production values, they were slightly less impressive throughout this episode, but, thankfully, never distracting. The animation was average, but a higher quality wasn't particularly necessary, since there was an obvious lack of dynamic sequences involved. Musically, this episode was just as excellent as the others, especially during Aladdin and Baba's moonlit conversation, which was fantastic.
All in all, Magi satisfies considerably with an improved episode, and, hopefully, this heightened sort of coherency within the story indicates a more consistent execution of the narrative moving forward.

I was simply asking whether or not they were still moving through the source material quickly rather than saying that moving through the source material quickly is a bad thing because, as you say, it all depends upon the finished product.
They didn't slow the adaptation down in ep4, it just got better. Probably because Yoshino didn't write it. Even if Yoshino has a ton of episodes for the Balbaad arc, if he's a bad writer, it's hard to be optimistic about the results. Hopefully he finds himself busy with some other bad show, and other writers continue working on the show instead.
This worries me, however. Yoshino really does seem to be a talentless hack.
What? Chet... what?
Is this from a One Piece OVA or something? I've never seen any One Piece, but this looks good.

The UK Madoka BD release is really, really cheap though so it might well be limited. I mean, this probably one of the only times we aren't getting screwed on a release. It costs $143 in America but only $41 here. That's completely ridiculous, I have no idea how they ended up with such a deal.
From a regular episode of the anime. That was an uncharacteristically well animated scene though.
My Little Monster - Episode 5
This is a more serious episode, and I honestly found it kinda boring. Not a bad episode, but I definitely enjoy the series more for the comedy and the antics between the characters. There were some decent scenes, and I like the way the relationship is developing, but I really don't care much about Yuzan or the implications about Haru's background. It's just not very interesting, and I'll rather see something wacky instead.
But after the credits, the show answered my prayers with this awesome mock trailer:
Good times.

Well those people are wrong! Should have watched it 12 years ago on Toonami to get the best experience.

This wasn't a bad episode. Slow in stuff going on, great for relationship building and character building. Even though not much happened, it was still great to look at and that sweet moment looked rather well.
Fairly impressed with the My Little Gangbusters promo at the end.
