Magi: Sinbad no Bouken (TV)

In the small, impoverished Tison Village of the Parthevia Empire, a boy, Sinbad, is born to the jaded ex-soldier Badr and his kind-hearted wife Esra. His birth creates a radiant surge throughout the rukh, a declaration of a singularity to those who stand at the pinnacle of magical might: the "Child of Destiny" is here. Despite his country being plagued by economic instability and the repercussions of war, Sinbad leads a cheerful life—until a stranger's arrival shatters his peaceful world, and tragedy soon befalls him.

Years later, mysterious edifices called "dungeons" have been erected all over the world. Rumored to contain great power and treasures, these dungeons piqued the interest of adventurers and armies alike; though to this day, none have returned therefrom. Sinbad, now 14, has grown into a charming and talented young boy. Inspired by the shocking events of his childhood and by his father's words, he yearns to begin exploring the world beyond his village. As though orchestrated by fate, Sinbad meets an enigmatic traveler named Yunan. Stirred by Sinbad's story and ambitions, Yunan directs him to a dungeon which he claims holds the power Sinbad needs to achieve his goals—the "power of a king."

Magi: Sinbad no Bouken tells the epic saga of Sinbad's early life as he travels the world, honing his skill and influence, while gathering allies and power to become the High King of the Seven Seas.

"MAGI: ADVENTURES OF SINBAD"

Genre- Action, Adventure, Magic, Fantasy, Comedy, Shounen

Being true to ourselves and our beliefs is something that shapes a person. From holding on to things that we hold dear and blindly believing in the dreams that we one day hope to achieve, our world becomes a little bit better, and in the words of Sinbad, we become someone who is 'special.' One of the many, chosen just for this day and age to change everything around them.

Born to one of the bravest warriors of Parthevia, Sinbad soon realizes the truth of life and the society surrounding him at an early age. With no ... power, possession, or value, he lives a life that just spells out ordinary to him, when one day he encounters a strange traveler named Yunan, and it is from then on, that the tales and "Adventures of Sinbad" really start! Capturing the mighty power inside of his first Dungeon, Sinbad makes it his goal to transform the world and change it for the better. One where war does not limit a person's happiness and one where people can smile without being held captive to money and other earthly possessions. While the task seems huge and utterly impossible for a 16-year-old boy, you can be sure that he is anywhere but near to giving up. With a title that contains the word 'Adventures', I for one can vouch that this anime lives up to its name.

With action-packed scenes that intrigue the inner child in you, to the amazing resolve that moves people into following Sinbad and his dreams, this anime does keep you at the end of your seat. And lest we forget, the top-notch animation, one that just traps your mind and makes you fall even further in love with this anime. All-in-all, this anime is one you could consider binging.

This anime is recommended for every "ADVENTURE" anime lover.

Mixed Feelings

There's no spoilers here, don't worry.

Well well, i don't remember clearly what i saw first, the manga or the adaptation.

Anyway, GO AND READ THE MANGA, the experience is defintetly superior. But, do it after you read Magi, i made the mistake of reading it before and well, i gave myself some interesting and not totally wanted spoilers lol.

The adaptation is decent to say at least. They chopped a few parts of important information along the series, parts that i considered important for all the people that didn't read the manga (Such as Sinbad's very first negotiation). Those parts helped greatly to understand the setting and ... the actions of the characters.

Also, because of some extra fighting scenes they added in certain capthers, i felt that Sinbad seemed even stronger and bolder than in the manga.


That was at least my perception of the 5-6 first episodes. In the other half of the anime, things got better and the adaptation feel sincronized to the manga. The last caps were my faves, it left me hanging for more! Because, boi, all the sagas that came next until the end, are worth an adaptation.

Not Recommended

The worst anime I have ever seen (out of 130+).

This is the typical generic adventure anime with a protagonist who is recruiting people to fulfill his objective. The problem is that the characters are flat and with little charisma, and the plot is nothing to write home about.

- The story is uninteresting (except for the first chapters). There is a turning point where it goes from being a more or less decent anime to a boring anime.
- The protagonist is very poorly built, without evolution and almighty. Some other characters may be interesting, but nothing to highlight.
- There are no villains as such (or at ... least they do not make an appearance), which impoverishes the plot.
- The universe in which it is set seems more that of a video game.

It is certainly an anime that I would NEVER recommend.

Arabian Mythology and the Djinn in Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic

If anime has its own version of Aladdin, it would have be Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic. However, peeling away the layers reveals a deeper, interesting exploration into ancient Middle Eastern mythological figures: the djinn.
