Magi: Adventure of Sinbad

This series is great if it weren't for its pacing.this show is really good.i haven't seen any beautiful animation than this anywhere.the power concept is great and the vfx too. If this series were lengthy enough and took its time to provide the best to us then i think it would have been capable of one of the best alongside the toptier series.the main protagonist is hilarious he is powerful and it never goes down to his head and a cheerful and humorous.the protagonist has one aim that is to change the world and create a nation where everyone can live peacefully and how he will do that you have to found out yourself.well i dont have nothing more to say go and watch this series.i bet you won't waste your time.all who are whining this series is trash let them be.yes i agree this series is rushed still it is so good.worth watching.it is a waste we can't see the end of this beautiful story as season 2 will not come. Disappointment everywhere.

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

It's been quite awhile since I reviewed anything for ages but I must say that this anime series incorporates 1001 Arabian nights in a different manner, Sinbad in this version is very likable and becomes a sailor not just for the sake of it (I'm looking at you Luffy LOL), he becomes a sailor to change the world and unite nations (wherever corruption is) due to his sad origin. The action is great, but some character designs don't look great at all, some male characters look too feminine but it wasn't that much of a big let down. The real reason I watched this is because of my interest in Arabian mythology and also Sinbad the sailor, definitely check it out as it is only 13 episodes long.

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!
