Watch Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic Episodes Online

ZhonLord To describe Magi in a single sentence would be an enormous disservice, but here's the closest I have: Magi is a high-adventure fantasy series with djinn, magic, a powerful overarching story, and the clash of those who follow fate against those who curse their fates. The three main characters, Aladdin the magi with a hidden past, Ali Baba the third prince turned dungeon crawler, and Morgianna the hyper-powerful slave turned comrade and ally, are rich enough characters in their own right that they could carry the show on their own. But it goes so much farther than that, bringing out a cast of characters that rival Code Geass and Fullmetal Alchemist in variety, personality and depth. The creativity and depth of its magic system is nothing to sniff at either, bringing together simple elemental combinations with the extraordinary power of djinn and even more extraordinary power that a magi is capable of. The dungeons are unique and creative, each kingdom and city has a completely unique appearance and feel, I can't say "rich" enough times about this world in the best possible meaning. The biggest weakness is probably the second story arc, when Alibaba has to face part of his past. For that portion it gets very political and bogs the story down, but even there it's only weak by its own high standard. Once that's out of the way the plot and pacing take off like a rocket, and season 2 goes for even greater heights beyond where this season ends. And the animation, the absolutely gorgeous animation, lives up to what the story brings to the table and then some. Each use of magic is powerful and dramatic, fitting to the effects they cause; the dungeons look as good as their writing intended them to be; each character's emotions and range of expression are phenomenal; and when fights happen you can feel every blow, every impact; but even all this all of this wouldn't be enough without the powerful overarching story that binds it all together - I won't spoil it, but there's a lot more going on than meets the eye and it raises Magi up from a good anime to one of the great ones. One of my all-time favorites, watch it as soon as you can and marathon it if you're able to!
