Magi: Shindobaddo no bôken

This show literally had the potential to stand among one of the greatest.i liked the concept.this is the story about a boy who want to change the world,bring peace and to create a country where every race people can live happily with each other and for that to happen he must form an alliance with other powerful nations and to create nation he must have to be the strongest and have a well source of wealth and friendly figures.indeed this show has one of the best animation there anyone can provide,all characters art style are beautiful and colourful.the artists are too good to be true.this story had a potential but they rushed this show too much.why too much rush?they should have take their time and bring their best to offer. But disappointly i dont see any hope for season 2 as it was getting good from there and i was so excited. Thanks creators for this series and those who are saying this series doesn't make any sense then go watch your pogo,one punch man,kaguya sama war is love the overrated ones.whine all the time that this is waste that is trash and can't do a single thing for yourselves. Go to hell.

There is no character development at all in this anime. It is not at all a good anime . I think who are giving this anime 10 or 9 stars are maybe beginners to anime World. They don't explain power system, kingdom , politics and characters at all.

I loved this series. It's a prequel to Magi. After I finished this and finished Magi & the Magi manga I started the AoS manga. OMG it's so good. I couldn't stop reading it. It even got me excited just to read it. It takes a lot to excite me, especially when it comes to reading anything. Shinobu is a writing genius. AoS and Magi are perfection when it comes to writing. This story is so unique and I love the Arabic theme and how it ties into ancient history. I love this story so much and the characters. Especially Ja'far and Sinbad. Ja'far does a complete 180 character change. It's so great to see. I definitely recommend watching this, especially if you're an anime fan. Even if your not, it's still great!

My first review I just love this series so much, I truly hope they will make a new season (smile) It just warms my soul,you know, even if the last two episode were a bit silly. Sinband is wonderful and I cant wait to see what happens next!!!!

Thanks for reading -Ashley

Anime can do something few other media can do (well). Take a ridiculous, totally insane premise, and adapt it into an over the top, fun as hell spectacle.

This is not that!

This Anime has the same problems as many anime that try to adapt "classic" stories that weren't meant for anime. Sure the animation and character design is fancy, but the story? OMG its so terrible. What is it with these anime and being so into "trading"? Like that one with the wolf goddess....I thought I would see some fun banter between an out of touch god and a human, but no its was all about market value of coins and such.

Sinbad is similar, there is promise of epic battles with Djin Powers etc, that always only takes up a very small part of any episode. The rest is non existent or rushed character development, non relatable characters, and talk about creating a trading empire. sorry but if I wanted that I would go to business school.

I could go on but the first season of this anime bored me so much, that I will just stop here as I stopped watching.

good day
