| More Magi is always welcome. I have yet to see final episodes but I saw some spoilers I didn't like what I saw (even without reading manga). |

| A-1 has no choice but to add and make up stuff to fix their incoming plot holes that will come up in the second season. It's a given it's going to be altered thanks to what occurred in season one. Sad, it was really great and had a nice smile but then it dwindled bit by bit starting mid-way... now I just sigh and what could of been. Though I do occasional laugh as I remember Alibaba's transformation but then quickly sigh once more as I remember how anime Alibaba is just so Shinji Ikari unlike the manga version. Can't say Magi was like Guilty Crown but man was it headed there... phew that was a close. Forgot to add, character development is butchered or lost from the transition of manga > anime and I for sure know anime viewers only can agree that is something no studio has an excuse to make small of and it was done in Magi S1 for a quick cash grab I assume. Repeat of SAO perhaps? |

radle said: Repeat of SAO perhaps? A repeat of SAO would be fucking up the adaption and still making a ton of cash with it. Be as fucked up as it may, SAO at least outsold the rest in it's season. Magi can't even make the 4k mark in BD sales as of late, where SAO constantly keeps getting around 20k in BD sales. |

| I might read the manga, kinda want to see what the difference between the manga and the anime are, lol. |
 |
| that was a great season, awesome ending ep with all the flashes of new characters can't wait for the fall :D |
| Enjoyed this series a lot despite the occasional drops in animation quality and the whole light conquers darkness storyline. Then again, I haven't read the manga so that could be why I'm looking forward to season 2. |
| A second season was expected since the first ended so...abruptly. I hope this time around the staff won't rush so much and cut so much from the manga. The second season will more than probably have the Magnoshtat battle so I'm excited to see it animated. |
| i hope 2nd season will be same story as manga |
     |
| In the meantime, please learn to animate. |

Gecko69Mars said: Is the anime continuing right from where they left off? I was planning on reading the manga after finishing the anime, but since S2 is coming fall I don't want to know whats gonna happen. If its not continuing right after the first season can someone tell me which chapters they are skipping? I wanna know this too. Can anyone please answer? |
| I still have yet to finish the first season. But yay. |
Candor said: They're continuing from where they left off. However, the whole anime, especially the 2 Sindria arcs, is a remix of events. Each arc had a thing or 2, or even more, skipped or changed, but all of them were rushed and the characters became one-dimensional as fuck, like Sinbad. I bet anime-viewers still believe he's the cool good guy. Read from the beginning for a better experience and to fill in the plot-holes and get better explanations and depth for some characters, like Al-Thamen for example, or Sinbad, or Aladdin, or Judal. Thanks. And yeah, I wouldn't even have known Sinbad wasn't 100% good if it wasn't for that last scene and you pointing it out. Figures though, the anime always skips details. |
| So what the fuck were they rushing the first season for if they were gonna make a second season? Did they expect it to not do well enough for another? I don't consider myself a huge fan of Magi, but A-1 did the manga quite the injustice by blazing through dungeons and making the plot and characters even more two-dimensional than before. That and giving us some crappy animation for a big chunk of the anime. The only thing I'm thankful for the anime is bringing more good fan-art on Pixiv. :/ What a waste. |
ninja_dog said: What i don't get is why the manga community is so worked up. I have read the manga and watched the anime. In fact i watched the anime first. Yes there is some difference regarding the order in the first season ,and some things being removed in blabad arc. the thing is did they matter not really i could still tell what was going to happen next in the manga and the same overall points get across. when you finish the balabad arc in the anime you have relatively the same info you would have if you finished it in the manga. Saying that the Sindaria arc was a bit messed up lacking somethings like training ,comical relief scenes ,and what not. They are not truly necessary you can still get the general idea of things with out them. Anything that was needed this the sindaira arc can just be inserted after the zangan arc anyway. This wouldn't really mess with the overall plot much. Next is the zangan arc they messed that up pretty bad in terms of order and how thing actually happen. Though yet again by the end of the arc in the anime the same plot points get across. saying that all in all the only the anime is missing is better character development/portrayal of some of the characters. Which is in some of the scenes that where cut. Thing is i still had the right perceptions of the characters even before i read the manga and my outlook on them didn't change after. So the anime doesn't give you the wrong impression if you come across it the way it was intended to which is pretty hard not to. don't look at me like a crazy manga fan boy or anything like that im just looking at this from both sides of the spectrum. Though i would suggest reading the manga its a good read. Well, you're right. If you watch the anime you'll still be able to understand the main points the manga tries to get across. However, that is all you'll get from watching the anime. The pacing in the anime is way too fast. The arcs feel more like a quick summary of events rather than a story to be enjoyed. It's like reading a book summary on Wikipedia; it'll cover the important parts of the plot, but you won't get the same experience of reading the book. |
| Only the last arc was ruined in my opinion, the anime was not bad overall. Now All I want to see is the great ali baba's |

Though i would suggest reading the manga its a good read. actually this is a matter of maturity of story . you see when you take huge preparation to defend sindria from terrifying al-shermen and main 3 bad guys fight against 8 genarals + 2 vessel user and the fight lasts only for 4 minutes ...it kind of blows... but when you consider, aladin and his fellow companions barely survive the zagan labyrinth and suddenly they face 3 of al-shermen on their own and when all hope is lost , the 3 generals approach to defend them ....it just feels more epic that way. so when a non reader sees the anime he might actually think thats far the mangakas ability goes and he might feel the ending was not just balanced enough or just did not showed what it promised in the beginning .... so my question is sir, why do you even repair when its not damaged ?and does it do justice to the mangaka?...sorry , am just saying its not a good approach. |
| I actually liked the 1st season, since I've just started reading the manga and I don't really know how the first arc actually ended, and that black demon thingy wasn't bad. I don't really have any questions about the story in itself either. However, a second season might also answer many in-depth details, and at the same time progress with the story, I feel like what they're doing cannot go wrong. |
| So, What do you think is on the other side? |
| so many mad manga fans lul ive been following the manga forever and tbh im glad this is getting a s2. If you are upset it's getting a s2 then don't watch it and leave it at that damn fucking kids these days. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Any manga readers care to tell us if there's been a good stopping point in the manga for Season 2? Or will they just run the whole thing until they're caught up with the manga? |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |
SageShinigami said: Any manga readers care to tell us if there's been a good stopping point in the manga for Season 2? Or will they just run the whole thing until they're caught up with the manga? At the moment there's no good stopping point. I think second season is starting too early. |
| The first season was disappointing but it was still somewhat enjoyable so I might watch this.plus I want to see more of Morgiana. |

Candor said: S-ER said: Mor won't have much screen-time in the 2nd season. Maybe in the beginning, but after a couple of episodes she should stop appearing for a while (not sure if she came back in the manga or not yet).The first season was disappointing but it was still somewhat enjoyable so I might watch this.plus I want to see more of Morgiana. Damn,that's a letdown :x |
| I hope they won't skip Hakuryuu's story or the moment between him and Mor. Cause by the looks of the synopsis it has me worried that they will skip his development. ~_~ |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| THIS! is something i look forward to. |
| I hope they don't destroy the war, but after how they did the finale for the Balbadd arc, I have no hope for this. That said, I like Magi enough that I'll watch this entire season, though all the (likely)pain of A1's adaptation. |
| A preview is up: |
|
| I know a lot were disappointed with the first season in comparison to the manga, but as someone who didn't read the manga I enjoyed the first season. I recommend those who did enjoy the first season to continue to enjoy the second season regardless of other's opinions! Not a fan of the new hair for Alibaba at all, but they did seem to get a decent art upgrade. |

Maor said: NostalgicDPT said: Not a fan of the new hair for Alibaba at all, but they did seem to get a decent art upgrade. That's not Alibaba, it's someone else. Alibaba's hair should remain unchanged. Thanks for clarification |
| the damage done to the season 1 can't be covered and lets leave it ... well lets see another problem for s2 now...they will try to cover the rest of the manga in one shot , i mean you got 26 episodes and 90+ chapters , what more A1 needs to perfectly butcher 3 arcs in one go... i mean do they even have any backup plan for s3 ? i think they will do the season 2 solely because they got chapters to do a season , they got no sense of perfection or making an adaptation lovable ... its a very bad attitude , the way it seems for me its already a lost cause ... i dont see any hopes , either way , after s2 they wont have any material left for continuation and therefore magi as an anime format will soon be forgotten after this year...they are just doing it for the sake of milking money as its officially the 2nd most selling manga of 2013 first half...otherwise they don't even have any motive for perfectionism ... (well thats old news seeing the s1) |
Candor said: Hey, A-1, you forgot Hakuryuu. What about him? Are you planning to add another one-dimensional character to the list? Trailer looks cool, just like those of the first season, but those are just trailers, I doubt A-1 will maintain the quality long. You mean like never did have that quality. I will still watch this though for the battles and OST, but unforgivable that they will skip over my precious Hakuryuu development and wtf Sinbad isn't even in this arc yet last time you see him was before the departure to Magnostadt (sp?) If we hope and pray hard enough Magi: Brotherhood will happen a couple years from now. |
