About Magi: The Kingdom of Magic

Here is what Magi: The Kingdom of Magic (マギ The kingdom of magic) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, adventure and fantasy anime by A-1 Pictures (2013). What the story covers: After celebrating their victory against Al-Thamen, Aladdin and his companions depart the land of Sindria. With the end of the fight, however, comes the time for each of them to go their separate ways.

Next up: Hakuryuu and Kougyoku are ordered to go back to their home country, the Kou Empire. Meanwhile Aladdin announces he needs to head for Magnostadt—an unexplained country ruled by magicians—to investigate the unexplained events occurring in this new domain and become more proficient in magic. For their part, encouraged by Aladdin's words, Alibaba and Morgiana also set off in pursuit of their own goals: training and going to her homeland, respectively.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Aladdin (Kaori Ishihara) and Alibaba Saluja (Yuuki Kaji) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 25 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
