Underrated gem. I have not seen a lot of Arabic/Southasian representation in anime, so this was great...aside from the fact they whitewashed all the characters. However, the worldbuilding was stunning, and incredibly creative - I can't compare it to any other anime I've seen before. The philosophy tidbits of the show are a somewhat lacking, but it's understandably so, when it's aimed towards a younger audience. Magi also thinks tit jokes are hilarious for some reason, so I was a bit taken aback whenever those jokes were mentioned.

The manga itself was definitely more detailed, but its ending dragged out for far too long.
