Happy endings are worth fighting for. |
After its first season, some said the Magi anime didn’t deserve the second season it was getting. If so, they made good of the chance they were given. From story to animation, character development to action, from heart-wrenching tragedy, complex villains, lots of Extreme Magic, and a climax that built on everything that came before it, the anime found redemption.
This is a finale snapshot, so spoilers ahoy! Feel free to read if you don’t mind being spoiler though, because I just might convince you that you need to watch the second season.
「旅立ちの予感」 (Tabidachi no Yokan)
“Premonition of a Journey”
The time for celebration is short for our heroes–new individual journeys await.
「アリババとアラジン」 (Aribaba to Arajin)
“Alibaba and Aladdin”
This episode only marks the beginning of an even longer adventure. For now though, it is time to close the chapters and rest a season, until the leaves finally begin to fall. *cough cough*
「鬨の声/堕転」 (Toki no Koe/Daten)
“Battle Cry/Fallen into Depravity”
How do you fight against a hopeless fate?
「炎の眷属」 (Honou no Kenzoku)
“Household of Flames”
So that’s where all the animation budget went!
「迷宮ザガン」 (Meikyuu Zagan)
“Zagan Labyrinth”
That’s right! Tell those hippy tree-hugging djinns to get ou—woah woah, stop the waterfall display!
「ホシの名はシンドバッド」 (Hoshi no na wa Shindobaddo)
“The Culprit’s Name is Sinbad”
Oh hey, this is a pretty funny episo—wait what!?
「シンドリア王国」 (Shindoria Oukoku)
“The Kingdom of Sindria”
The wheels of fate continue to rush forward even between arcs, though our own band of heroes enjoy a “forced” rest in Sindria.
