my opinion i really enjoyed this series just give it a shot .

I love this anime series and it’s one of my childhood memories with tv
also I love the movie that came before in 1962 (Arabian nights: adventures of sinbad )

But with all my love for it I Hate the bad stereotypes about our culture as Muslims and Arabs (show us as barbaric and violent people, show us as alcoholic and drug abuser or always being with naked slave women dancing)

The intro is amazing and characters is wonderful
The story is very nice and fitting with characters roles

Fun fact: I relised that Disney Aladdin (1992) is copy and paste from this and they steal everything ... (characters,story events,style of music or style of clothes and even the bad stereotypes about Arabs and Muslims🙂)
