| I've watched quite a few shows but none have inspired me to write a thread like Magi. People praise Magi for bringing up certain issues that most anime doesn't touch, but in every situation I've seen, one side is pure, dark evil. Morality is presented in a way to make you not think rather than think. The "bad" side lacks a human element with which one can try to work out an understanding why they became as they did. Sometimes you get a flashback of a dark and troubled past, but the actual descent to badness just doesn't seem plausible. Without the political stuff, I would find the show more appealing, but due to its existence it's hard not to find the world irritating. Do other people get annoyed by stuff like this, or do you mainly just root your heroes on against the big dark evil? I wish I could do the latter without cringing, but it's just so hard. Maybe the question I should be asking is: is it better to touch on issues in a half-assed way or would it be better to avoid them completely? |

|
| ehh... "le depend on execution" answer... i mean, death note is not as intruguing if without political issue on it.. if it is actually necessary for setting and plot progression and excecuted well, it make sseries more logical and understable... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| It is better to avoid the issues than do it in a half-assed away. It's better to be ignorant than misinformed. Being ignorant means you know you don't know, so you'll be open to new ideas. Being misinformed means you think you know, so you'll be less flexible and less open. |

| Are you saying Magi is black and white or more nuanced? |
| There are shows with more nuanced presentations of good and evil. They are just not as popular as shows with black-and-white stories. Sarai-ya Goyou is an especially good example about a band of kidnappers. Monster's "villain" has a complex back story that helps explain his penchant for murder. The emperor in Seirei no Moribito is set on killing his son, but he has an understandable reason. Death Parade follows a variety of characters who have ended up in a form of purgatory; their stories are often pretty shaded. Gatchaman Crowds Insight presents a story about "soft" fascism that you might also like, though you should first watch Gatchaman Crowds itself. |

GarLogan78 said: Are you saying Magi is black and white or more nuanced? I would say it masquerades as being more nuanced but from the first season it really just seems like a mystery of who is black and white. There are a few grays though. |

FloatingIdiot said: People praise Magi for bringing up certain issues that most anime doesn't touch, but in every situation I've seen, one side is pure, dark evil. Well then you weren't paying much attention, were you? In Magi especially, there's only one side that can be called "pure dark evil" and even that is debatable on the "pure" part. Take the magician's country, for example. Yeah, they do a lot of evil things, but they're not evil. They're not doing it for poops and giggles. Hell, not even Judar, one of the biggest assholes in the show, can be considered pure evil, because well... he's not. He doesn't kill people for no reason, he's not a completely sadistic bastard, like most pure evil characters are. Back with Alibaba's douche brother, he was very close to be pure evil, but in reality he was just an idiot who was easy to manipulate. Kasshim wasn't evil either, but used less then nice methods. So really, where is all this "pure dark evil" stuff in Magi? |
 |
| It's really a first-time? It is shown especially when meeting the villains, but not only. Meine Liebe have 2 main characters who argue every time they can: should a ruler should rule by listening to his people or by force (as for politics, it's the only one I can think of right now. It was never decided in the anime which one is right). Here are not villains, while one presenting the innocent believer the other presents the non believer who trusts only himself. there's a time when each explains himself, but too long to write. Anyway... I also hate the amines I can't really hate a character just because if its past if something, something which didn't happen at younger age. |
 |
| Depends entirely on the show's execution. If it's done right, it's good and will mix into the story without seeming overt . If it's done badly, it will seem forced. Magi imo is somewhere in between: it's not exactly bad per se, but it definitely could've been far more subtle with its political subtext post-timeskip. |
 |
| Well Magi certainly does political themes and social hierarchy better than Shingeki no Kyojin. Not to mention Sinbad is one of the most morally grey antagonist I've seen in a manga series. |
| Bringing political/philosophical issues is the something that make one anime better than the others, I like Magi because of that by the way. As long as it doesn't contain real racism to certain people. |

Lol please don't tell me you think it's the titans. Lmao I have no idea why snk is brought up into this, FYI, he's more of a hxh fan than a snk fan. But I already know you guys are cowards and it's more easier to talk badly of a series that's controversial than a series that isn't. |

Anyhow, op has won against you guys because none of you has actually challenge him. Smh. "what you said magi isn't good in political aspect??

I love Misaka, she's a fantastic character <3 And lmfao it was never about "winning" against OP. It's a discussion thread, we discuss things. Like how SnK is kind of crappy. |

Now I come here and he shits on Magi on AD without even posting on the respective Magi discussion forum. Not only that but comon man, what the hell is "Magi Syndrome?" Should we call all dragged out "no basement for you" anime/manga as the "SnK Syndrome?" Also, I didn't spoil you fam. That was @OneTrueEmiya. |

| I haven't seen Magi, so I can't offer any insight into how it uses its themes and ideas, but I am the kind of guy who is all for anime exploring ideas that other anime won't ever touch. Hell, it's one of the reasons I love Seraphim Call--it's a creative, refreshing little early-2000s shoujo anime by Sunrise (!), but it separates itself from its peers by utilizing a lot of postmodernism in its writing. One episode is entirely from the perspective of a doll on a shelf, another episode is entirely done as a one-man stage show, almost every episode deals with unreliable narrators or the blurred lines between reality and delusion, etc. Sure, it's not the only anime to ever do things like this (Anno Hideaki did this kind of thing for a living in the 80s and 90s), but it's still in the minority, and I am always game for series that do this kind of thing. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |

| The way Magi implements it can be boring at times, but also quite interesting. Like the latest arc in the manga uses it quite a bit, and I would say it shows the growth of Alibaba and everyone else without being overly used to the point it's boring as hell. So uhh...depends on the execution. |

Which part in Magi's political parts is ''good vs evil'' ? The only completely evil characters in Magi are Alma Thoran, and most of the political parts we've seen had people being manipulated, those peoples aren't evil or at least not completely. . Alma Thoran is manipulating everyone but those people being manipulated are not evil, there was a reason for all the characters that did bad things, Like Magnoshtatt's leader's reasons for being ''racist'' against non mage people was explained really well. Alma Thoran is evil because : In real life too there is always a part that is more evil than the other in political stuff ( Most of the time both are evil actually ) so it actually is realistic huh. Now to answer your question, obviously when ''demons'' are involved there will be an evil side, that doesn't mean there can't be political stuff too. |

Besides If you remove that element in a story then its just another run of the mill "BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THE BADGUYS SHOW" Political maneuvers are entertaining seeing how things could turn up. Adding to that sense of morality even if its you say half-assed what matters is how it was executed during the whole ordeal.So removing that element is a NO for me. |

You'll be surprised of how much changed happened throughout the entire story. Oh btw I'm surprised with you having 5k posts not even viewing magi or is it not your thing to watch alot of shounen? |

You'll be surprised of how much changed happened throughout the entire story. Oh btw I'm surprised with you having 5k posts not even viewing magi or is it not your thing to watch alot of shounen? No there's really no problem If you watch Sinbad no bouken first. In fact its the Ideal way to watch the show since you'll be familiar with sinbad by the time you watch Magi.No more backstories to research. Though you still have to wait quite a long time till Sinbad to bouken ends its up to you whether or not you'll stick to it or just watch magi either way it won't ruin your experience even if you start with magi when watching. |
