Having watched both The Adventures of Sinbad and The Labyrinth of Magic I was really excited to carry on to this. The Magi series is fantastic and really enjoyable.
This season picks up where the first left us, Aladdin, Alibaba, Morgiana and Hakuryuu completed the dungeon and have gathered back together with Sinbad in Sindria.
They've grown a lot since arriving there, but it's coming to the time where they need to set off on their next adventures.
You get to see them grow separately and together in this season which is really nice. They keep their promises of adventuring together, though they also set out for their goals alone. Seeing them go off by themselves but always striving to make the others proud adds a lot to the feeling of the anime. They maintain their close friendship even while miles apart.
You get to see them learn a lot more about themselves and become stronger, mainly with the goal of being able to protect each other and all the good people they've become friends with along the way.
Aladdin is just as pervy as always. Seeing him make friends with Titus and Sphintus is great, he gathers friends that are very similar to each other. They all have something to fight for.
I do wish there was more of a focus on what Alibaba and Morgiana were doing while they were all separated. Finding out there was a year gap toward the end, it didn't feel that way at all which gave it a bit of a disconnect. If it was portrayed better time-wise then that would have been good, but you can see the amount of time reflected in the growth of their powers so that kind of makes up for it.
The battles in this felt a lot greater, with the amount of people and armies battling and also how much stronger they've become.
Seeing everybody gather at the end was really impressive and one of those great goosebumps moments.
This season was a bit better than the first in some ways, like stronger story and growth.
It all came together really well and the end trails off so there's a possibility of another season which is great. It was really fun and exciting to watch and I'm very hopeful for more.
