certainly an improvement on the first season.
what I liked:
less focus Alibaba and his whining
more focus on Alladin
anti-racism message *clap clap clap*
What I didn't like:
not enough morgiana ahhhh
Also, the animation was still arse, the fight's dull and anti-climatic, and too much of "talk no jutsu". I mean why go all DBZ with your flashy sword moves, when you could have solved the whole conflict by just having a hearty talk while sipping some tea preferably.
no, really I had lot's of problems with how the conflict get created and then resolved in this anime, they didn't really flow well and felt unnatural, the writer could have written them more solidly, with more emphasis on political reasons behind them, yeah the "slavery is bad, hatred, destiny" thing get boring really quickly.

If it’s only enjoyment that you are after, then Magi: The Kingdom of Magic may suit your taste and entertain you well but if you are looking for an anime that has depth, then this may not be the closest one. Whether which is which, don’t get your expectations too high!
The story was interesting but there were major flaws such a lack of consistency and coherence. For one, a lot of information were unconcluded and simply left behind without explanations. For example, as from the title says, a magi is gifted magician who is tasked to choose a king candidate. Magis were mentioned frequently but they weren’t given a particular depth of information or significance just like how one of the few magis barely did anything despite appearing the last few episodes of the show. Their importance was the…

A catastrophic collapse and blunder is what the kingdom of magic can be described as. It takes a weird direction in terms of storytelling, character building and world building and centers it around a conflict that is brought upon due to mere selfish desires. The first season subtly built its world through political conflict, internal strife between characters, and eccentric disney like environment/setting. The Kingdom of magic deviation from it's predecessor seemed like a wild decision because any viewer can tell from the first few episodes that Magi was taking a new approach in how it continues to build the world and characters. However, it felt very superfluous because frankly, there wasn't enough screen time to continue meandering between characters and conflicts. However, the biggest…

“There is no one in the world who is better than anyone else. Even if you come across someone so dazzling that he has ten times, hundred times the power of everyone else…You mustn’t entrust everything to him. Because there’s no one in this world who can live without making mistakes” …Lord Magomett
I will be reviewing both seasons of this anime in my review. When I started watching this anime, I gave it a score of 7, as the show progressed I bumped up the score to 8, I finally ended up giving it a 9. In other words, this is an anime that just keeps getting better and better as the show progresses.
One of the things i really like about Magi, is that it not only has an interesting story, but that story is told well. The world of Magi is vast and an interesting one that touches on several ele…

I watched this sequel to Labyrinth of Magic an entire year and a half afterward. Since I already started watching with the dub I had to wait for the Kingdom of magic to be dub, and boy did they take their sweet-ass time.
Anyway, I watched this anime with such a lengthy time span in between the first and this one so I didn't remember all that much of the first when I watched the second. If I remembered I probably would have given it a higher rating maybe? Oh well.
Story: 9/10
Just like the first season it had an excellent story (I guess). What I liked a lot from this season is more character development and the depth and details of the nations and their people. There espesially that of Magnostadt. Who's right? Who's wrong? The world isn't so black and white but some people tend to handle…

As per usual, this is part of a video review on youtube, and I'm proud how this turned out, so go watch/listen to it over there ~

Like „The Labyrinth of Magic“, this is a fantasy-adventure borrowing themes from all around the world. Again, it was animated by studio A1-Pictures and directed by Masunari Koji. Obviously different is the original date of airing, which is now Fall 2013, and it adapts chapters 111 to 196 of Ohtaka Shinobu's manga.
After the events of season 1 and successfully conquering the dungeon Zagan, our heroes stand before the question of what to do next. Stay in Sindria with Sinbad or journey to another country? While befriending Dunya, the corrupted princess they fought in the dungeon, Aladdin decides to travel to Magno…

Magi / マギ : The Kingdom of Magic Review
Story (8/10) Very Good
More Specifically (8.75/10) Very Good+
The story I thought for the Kingdom of Magic was very good, I ended up following the manga while watching the anime at the same time and I thought from an accuracy standpoint it was damn near 1 to 1, Obviously not identical they definitely skipped over a couple of things but I personally thought the things they didn't cover are extremely debatable if they where scenes that were "MUST HAVES". The place the ended I thought was a decent stopping point but I wasn't a fan of them starting off the season with a straight up spoiler of something we wouldn't see from episodes to come, if you were an anime only you are sitting there like "wtf is this? did i miss something at the end of the last se…

The realm of "Shonen" Anime & Manga is encompassed by two major things: Conformity and Mediocrity. The term itself; "Shonen", immediately conjures a vast plethora of negatively inclined connotations, many of which are based off of only a small array of relatively insipid and generic titles, thus leading to an offhanded generalization that "It's shonen, it must be bad.", leaving many other unknown titles failing to receive the attention they may or may not deserve. This seems to have muddled a lot of the thoughts of the average anime viewer, and so when one is suggested a title, say, "Magi: The Kingdom of Magic", interest is initially sparked, only for it to dwindle down as quickly as it began upon their reading of the genres MAL gives (Shounen, Action, Magic etc.). Thankfully, the Magi Ser…

This series or aptly put the second season of Magi franchise is filled with themes of exploration and adventure. The story is a unique spin on Arabian Nights and creators have made it highly intriguing and fascinating by giving new shapes to our favorite characters. I liked it because I was excited by seeing the new Avatars of my beloved characters. It was exciting to see an all star squad of heroes.
As far as originality in story is considered this series has won grand respects. The central character Aladdin goes on many adventures and makes new friends. Aladdin has ofcourse his Djin with him but his character is so much more captivating than the original one. Here he travels finds new comrades and fights battle and becomes stronger. His supporting characters, actually other heroes from…

This review is for the second season of Magi, so expect light spoilers for season one.
Season one of Magi was a good watch overall, but it left a lot to be desired. So is season 2 a step up from the original, or is Magi simply overstaying its welcome? Well to answer that, first, we have to look at where we're at.
After Sindria is saved, Aladdin, Alibaba, Morgiana, and Hakuryuu all decide to go their separate ways to become stronger. Morgiana to return to her homeland, Alibaba to hone his Magoi control, Hakuryuu to claim his revenge, and Aladdin to investigate the country of Magnostadt, rumored to have ties with Al Thaamen. But war is brewing on many fronts, and the secrets of Magnostadt may be darker than anyone ever imagined.
As you can see, the plot of season two is already tighter and…

Magi: The Kingdom of Magic is the second season of Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic. For those of you who have not watched the first season, I highly recommend it unless you have zero interest in the fantasy-action-adventure genre. For those of you who have watched the first season, the good news is that Magi II does not disappoint. Everything that you enjoyed and liked about Magi, whether it be the diverse cast of characters, the battle orchestration, or the plot development, Magi II delivers.
Magi II begins with the night after the battle at Sindria, after Sinbad and his people repelled the attack from Al Thamen and after Hakuryuu obtained Zagan. Alibaba, Aladdin, Morgiana, and Hakuryuu then left Sindria and went their separate ways. Hakuryuu went back to Kou Empire, his intent revealed sh…

If you haven't watched Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, then read no further but if you have, continue as want.
------------------------------------------------
If you enjoyed the first series of Magi, you will love this even more! There are more characters that you have haven't seen yet. More battles. Everything.
Story: 9
From the first series of Magi, to this, there is a battle of light vs. dark. An constant struggle for power. The Al-Thamen is the organization bent on destroying the world, sucking all the ruka from all lifeforms. Aladdin, Morgiana, Alibaba, Hakuryuu, all have something to complete. They set on a journey to find themselves and become stronger. King Sinbad has his priorities. Everyone knows he is a sly devil. But with Hakuryuu, there is an internal struggle with his mom. A…

Note: I'm writing this review under the assumption that you've seen Labyrinth of Magic (the first season), so if you haven't, I'd suggest watching that first and then reading this review. There will be minor spoilers from the first season. You have been warned.
Story: 9/10
Kingdom of Magic had a better story than Labyrinth of Magic in my opinion. Labyrinth of Magic had an arc-based storyline where it was established by definitive arcs (the order being the beginning arc, separation, Balbadd, Sindria, and Zagan) that had some connection to each other, but were mostly standalone. There was some progression from one to the next (characters and character development), but overall there was a disconnect.
Kingdom of Magic, on the other hand, has an overarching story that isn't as clearly defined…

~ No spoilers, but I will assume that you have already seen Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic~
Magi features a story driven plot supported by a HUGE cast of characters. As the mysteries of Aladdin's origins and the abnormalities in the world begin to unfold, this series manages to turn the prequel on its head with its increased intensity and scale. No longer is this simply a story of a lost boy trying to find himself in the world, but a much grander chain of events that shake the world.
Along with the bump up in scale of events, Magi: The Kingdom of Magic played out a number of deeper themes, touching on topics of social hierarchy, moral superiority, order and chaos, and what we choose to spend what little time we have alive doing. These themes interact with the cast of characters to create a…

Something that people often do is "fighting for what is right." This comes in a variety of forms, such as protecting the weak or exacting justice on the sinful. But it becomes interesting when it is more of a grey area. What do you do when someone is fighting a battle with seemingly good intentions but harboring ideals that go against what you believe? In the second season of Magi, Magi: The Kingdom of Magic explores this idea while still maintaining the balance of comedy and action that has made it so popular today.
STORY
M:K starts where M:L left off. That is, Aladdin, Alibaba, and Morg have come back from the previous dungeon. However, all three of them decide that, in order to become stronger, they must journey on their own to find the p…

How are you feeling today? Upbeat? Or perhaps a little down? Maybe you've had a long day at work and you just want an anime to take your mind off things. Well, grab your cup of tea and look no further my friend - Magi: The Kingdom of Magic is the anime you've been searching for!
Magi: The Kingdom of Magic has everything you look for in an anime. Pleasing sounds (not in a dirty way!), bright (pun intended) characters who develop nicely throughout the duration of the anime and beautiful art. The characters are interesting, have depth and will make you feel for them, so prepare for a little emotional tug! A little bit of humour helps compliment the slower aspects of the story, and ensures theres never a dull moment - however, if you lack a funny bone you may find an early episode here and th…

Yeah you read my ratings right, its that brilliant.
This anime gave me the vibes of F/Z. However unlike F/Z which fills you with despair, this fills you with hope and warmth. That is this show's huge plus.
The animation is spot on, vibrant and easy on the eye. The colours used are beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. The music is brilliant. Specially the the ending 2 of 2nd season. The in-show music is amazing actually, this just didnt get a 10 from me because the in show music was too soft, make it louder guys, we love it. The story is refreshingly original, though its like F/Z where several people fight for an ultimate prize, instead of heroic spirits and masters, we have here kings and magis. However the plot is more widespread than F/Z, however it fails to reach the "super-epic" level…

I'll start by saying that I'm both surprised yet not that this anime isn't as popular as it could've been (by far). As my first review, this might be paced awkwardly so bear with me. That being said, I've watched dozens of animes and can easily say this one is review-worthy :3
The first season aired 2012-2013 while the widely famous Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin became and instant hit (not surprising! I thoroughly enjoyed that anime as well!) that same year; claiming a lot of attention and leaving equally worthy animes-- Magi being one-- overlooked.
I hadn't even started watching the first season until recently since I wasn't sure whether it was really going to be good, what with the lack of popularity and reviews. However after watching, I can say that this was the freshest breath…

For this overall anime, I actually really really enjoyed this series.
Both Magi Season tell a great story that can bring you to tears of happiness and tears of feels that strike you right in the heart.
As always, the art and animation was amazing! Story was overall beautifully done.
Even though, this season was mainly focused on Aladdin, I do wish to see Morgiana & Alibaba's training and what happened to them when Aladdin was in Magnoshuttat.
I really hope they make a season 3! This anime series is truly something that I would recommend anyone to watch. The Fan service is mainly based on comedy. So for those who don't really like fan service in anime, I really do recommend this anime! Great story, wonderful character designs, amazing fighting scenes, hilarious moments, this anime has e…

If I had to describe Magi, it would be more than just about magic. Sure, there are wands, hats, and spells along with magical kingdoms of witchcraft and wizardry. What sets Magi a bit different is its conventional way of presenting the series in a world building form. From the start, it’s easy to notice that Magi takes the tone of an adventurous tone following protagonists Alibaba, Aladdin, Morgania, and. Hakuryuu Ren. No exception is the fact that these characters all have gone through hardships and became who they are today. Magi: Kingdom of Magic explores not only the identities of these characters but also their journey in a land of the unknown as they face challenges and struggles like never before.
Magi: Kingdom of Magic is sequel of its predecessor Magi: Labyrinth of Magic based of…
