Magi. This anime is a great representative of how fantasy should be, which is, a genre that envelopes the audience making them want to be apart of this world, however, it is also supported by other dark underlying themes, making it somewhat a reflection of reality, but a reality as such that if you have determination you can change it to a nice outcome. At first you'd think that it's a fluffy, light anime because of the comedy, but as the story progresses you realise that it isn't.

The theme of magic and good is embodied by the character: Alaadin, a boy so adorable, you just cannot hate. He helps establish the theme of friendship, which in turn helps make the audience understand and appreciate the importance of it. Alibaba, the main protagonist is a nice representation of determination, at first, he might appear as a flat character, but later you'll learn what the struggles he underwent and soon you'll begin to appreciate him. Other characters like Morgiana also contribute to the main themes of the anime, while others (dark ones) try to undermine it, all of whom help make Magi the anime that it is.

Overall, this anime can be described with one conclusive adjective: fun.
