Magi: The Kingdom of Magic-First Impression

This is the month for new animes. One of the most anticipated anime is Magi: The Kingdom of Magic. The first season, Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic was a big success which is written in more detail at http://anniemayanime.blogspot.com/2013/06/magi-labyrinth-of-magic.html.

*SPOILERS: The plot for this episode is about the aftermath journey to the dungeon of Zagan. The characters are relaxing at Sindria. However, Aladdin begins to realize that his world is small and decides to take the next step.

The characters are all similar, there is no new additions to the show for right now. But we do get to see the rest of the magi's in more detail, instead of those shadows. But during the opening, we see other characters that will be shown in future episodes. It is always nice and a bit weird to see black and white characters be colored.

The music is decent, similar to the Season one, however, not better or worse. It can be a bit funky and not match the mood of the show. But can be decent in some scenes. For the songs, not amazing or terrible. But the opening sequence does shed light on what is going to happen in the future.

The show is a bit different from the manga. *SPOILERS: Typically the black crystal scene. Since Season 1 was different from the manga, there are, undoubtedly, going to difference in this show as well.

Animation is still the same has not deteriorated at all. Thank goodness. If there is something to love about the show, is that the animation is well done from the character design to the magic scenes.

The show definitely does shed light on Sinbad being manipulative. But it shows that in any country, some sacrifices are needed. Enjoying Magi Second Season or rather read the manga? Will the show be faithful to the manga or deviate like Season 1?
