Magi is part of my childhood. I remember going to a computer shop just to watch an episode of this, even though I had no idea what it's really about back then, but it leaves a mark in me that made me look for it now that I'm an adult. It took me ages to finally see it as a whole, but I made it.
Magi is a story about friendship, sacrifice, selflessness, and looking for a bigger picture. These are the themes that were highlighted in the series, and they were undoubtedly well executed in the story. However, there are also things that are questionable for the plot, such as the misogynistic objectification of women, slavery, fascistic attitude, and a few more, which I think gives the audience second thoughts while viewing it. In contrast, fight scenes and pacing are breathtakingly awesome; they're so aesthetically pleasing and satisfying to the eyes.
In addition, the characters aren't hard to get fond of, especially the three main gems of the saga: Aladdin, I love his innocence (excluding his perverseness), his trust, and his undying faith in the goodness of everyone. Morgiana, a girl who has a lot of potential as a character; she is strong, resilient, powerful on her own, and caring towards others, but I feel like she can still be so much more. I was really rooting for her to be the dungeon capturer too, but it seems that a narrative like that is never going to happen, and it saddens me. Lastly, Alibaba, even though he is far from being ideal, his love for his friends, his family, his dedication, his willingness to sacrifice, and his respect for progress are unquestionable, and that makes him interesting as a character.
Overall, the story may not be perfect on its own, but it sure is definitely something worth watching. I just wish and hope that we get to see more of what's next for them and for everyone, but it's still a good conclusion for the story. I am solved.
