At first I was skeptical when I began watching Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic. I was like "Oh look, another magical shonen anime. Never seen one of those before." I was honestly expecting a crappier version of Fairy Tail, but honestly, I was very pleasantly surprised how wrong I was!

STORY 10/10
I'll start off by saying that one of my favorite things about this series is the first episode. It was brilliantly done. It immediately is interesting. It has scenes that give off a mysterious, badass type of feel that make you wanna stick around so you can understand what's going on.

This anime takes place in what appears to be some sort of alternate, ancient middle east. It follows the story of a boy named Alladin (I know what you're thinking, but this isn't the Disney movie) who uses a wish from a genie to become friends with it and they become traveling companions (Worst wish ever right?). If that alone doesn't make for an interesting story, Alladin is also what is called a "Magi", a legendarily talented spellcaster.

ART 8/10
It's pretty good. Iv'e seen better though.

SOUND 8/10
I usually give an 8 as default when the soundtrack doesn't stick out much. If it sticks out because its bad, then I go lower and visa versa. The opening theme is pretty cool though.

CHARACTER 8.5/10
This series has extremely well done character development and you can totally see the characters mature as the series progresses. Also, the "super powers/magic" in this anime are fairly original! I've never seen anything quite like the abilites that characters possess in this anime. I didn't give a perfect score because I felt that sometimes the characters needed a little more "life" in them.

ENJOYMENT 9/10
On a scale of 1-10, my enjoyment was a 9. Simple as that.

OVERALL 9/10
Overall i thoroughly enjoyed this anime and I highly recommend it. It's very different that any anime you've ever seen. That, I can guarantee!
