Thankfully, Magi does this. Story: (9/10) With a setting based on Arabian Nights, you can expect (or at least hope for), a gripping narrative. Thankfully, Magi is structured so that the focus on the two main protagonists (Alibaba and Aladdin) is well orchestrated, and has a unique vibe to it. Through this, the story can become very dark and gripping, while not read more
So I got hooked right away. After the first minutes I wasn't sure yet if it was a childish anime or if it was made for a broader audience. After watching 12 epsiodes I can tell you its for a broader audience, so no worries! Story: Let me tell read more

Story/Setting/Combat depth - Ok, so i´m not only reviewing the story and world here but the combat depth too, because i think that it´s an important part on any battle anime. SETTING The story is set in an alternate recreation of the read more
ok first i must say that before i saw episode 1 i was under the impression that Magi would be similar to Fairy Tail. the reason i thought this is because both clearly have magic involved but the difference is: Fairy Tail = Fanservice + Magic + Action Magi = Magic + Action + Psychological + Fantasy When watching Magi, it feels like a combination of Sword Art Online and Mirai Nikki. the reason i say this is SAO and Magi are both produced by A1 Pictures and both are Fantasy Based. Magi is similar to Mirai Nikki in the way that they both have read more
Magi is about two boys. Aladdin is an impressionable, airheaded young Magi, or wandering mage. He comes across a golden-haired and golden-hearted street urchin named read more
Magi takes place in a vast fantasy world with a ton of tie-ins to 1001 Arabian Nights. The setting is huge, spanning across many diverse countries, which presents an enthrallingly enormous scope.

Story: 6 A shounen if I've ever seen one. The story is the usually, a run of the mill group of hero's trying to overcome adversity, and fight against the big bad. It's a formula that most Anime under this read more
Magi does all of these overused tropes quite well. For a fan of action centered anime, it is a fun watch. But there're two major things that bothered me. The obvious one is the read more
This is the script for my video-review of the show over on youtube, so if you don't wanna read it, listen to me talk about it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn7Wk9_TudM - Magi is a shounen fantasy adventure, but this time, it's one borrowing not only themes from the arabian one-thousand and one nights, but many other countries as well! It is based on an ongoing manga by author Ohtaka Shinobu and was adapted as 2 TV series spanning 25 episodes each. The adaptation by A1-Pictures contains the first 110 chapters of the manga, staying mostly true to the source material, was directed by Masunari Koji and aired in Fall 2012. In Magi's read more
For Magi's genre (adventure/fantasy) I think it successfully filled those roles. Story 9/10: The anime's about a boy named Aladdin who is joined by his friends Morgiana and Alibaba. The anime contains magical powers but is not centered only around magic. There is also sword fighters, along with fist fighters etc. I won't mention the "plot" because that's a spoiler, but the anime is sort of adventurous and in the settings of empires/conquerors. I very much enjoy settings where empires, kings, read more
Something that has bugged philosophers for generations is the idea of a little thing called "destiny." Do we have control over our own fate? Is everything we do just predetermined, with the outcomes already an inevitability? It's a strange topic because in reality we don't fully know the answer. In Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, the show would have you believe that while "destiny" may guide your path, you alone have the ability to change its course. STORY M:L (what I'll be calling it from now on), begins with our star Alibaba having a chance encounter with Aladdin. Both boys read more
Story 9/10 Magi has unique Arabian setting, with on characters from 1001 Nights. In short, it is about a young magi Aladdin and his chosen king's candidate Alibaba along with a former slave Morgiana developing their power while traveling to different places. A lot of things comes their way but they make a lot of friends and allies as well. The concept of magic (magoi) here is interesting. It comes from the nature, and goes back to the nature when we dies. I can accept the logic. The dungeon and djinn are well thought and had read more

The primary selling point, especially in the first half of the show, is definitely the setting and cultural aesthetic. Magi showcases lands inspired by various middle eastern and asian cultures, primarily those of historical Islam and China. The show establishes itself as separate fantasy world, so keep in mind that it is not trying to be historically accurate despite the inspiration from "1001 Nights." The animation is bright and colorful which compliments the fantastical settings, powers, and more outwardly cute art style. In addition, most of the character designs are neat and read more
Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic depicts a fantastic middle-age world, where slavery is common and people are born to live and die unequal. Suddenly, there appear mysterious tall towers called "Dungeons". Any person who is able to conquer a Dungeon becomes very powerful and as wealthy as a king, read more
Well, close enough. The story follows the adventures of Aladdin. He is pushing the storyline in a pace, that I didn't find myself confused with the plot. From the beginning, I felt that Magi was built on a "solid base". Later on you get introduced, to a lot of new characters. Most of them seem a lot more interesting than Aladdin. I didn't noticed a filler episode, so you will get something new in each one. The format is based on shounen, you will get a lot of - friendship, morale, good/bad, black/white,... Alibaba envisions the shounen stereotypes and gets read more |
