![]() Magi was more focused on character tragedies and cosmological concepts, than being a good action or adventure. They were too weird for the average viewer. It’s the same reason why other shows like Toriko and Bobobo never managed to be very popular. From inconsistent animation quality, to some pretty questionable design choices, Magi was not made to be mainstream. What happened? The presentation, basically. When this subversion of the shonen formula did the same, it had no impact at all. ![]() When a complete pile of garbage like Bleach ended, tens of thousands lost their shit. ![]() And yet it’s not since it was quickly forgotten by everybody, and even after the manga ended almost nobody cried about it. ![]() It sounds like it should be regarded as one of the best shonen anime of all time. The formula constantly changes, the scope broadens, and the stakes increase. Starts as dungeon crawling, proceeds to be about defeating evil rulers, then it’s about what it means to be a good ruler, then how can a nation can co-exist with other nations, then how to form an alliance and stop an evil force from destroying the continent. Notice: This review covers both seasons of this anime.Magi is an oddball when it comes to shonen anime, because it’s constantly changing what it’s all about.
