There is always something very irritating about binge watching a show, but to be honest I think it comes more from the lack of sleep and many hours spent staring at a screen than anything else. When I first started watching Magi, I had to re-watch the majority of the first season because I had put off watching it for a time because I had backlogged it and forgot I had it. As so often happens with me…
Season 2 |
The main story, focused on Aladdin, a magi, who travelled around at first trying to find out who he was and eventually what he was meant to do. It’s an interesting twist in the old Disney story that I’m familiar with and I have to admit I love it to bits, despite the little guy being a complete pervert when it comes to boobs.
While on this journey Aladdin comes across what would become his best friend and ‘King Candidate’, Alibaba. His character is developed quite slowly, but very obviously during the course of the series as he is faced with the countless struggles that occur in the various countries which each have a similar theme of oppression where the wealthy thrive and the poor suffer. I enjoyed watching his struggle with what was right and wrong.
It really was a fascinating anime to watch, especially as it felt like I was learning about a whole new culture and religion when it came to certain things. Whether it was real or fictional, I don’t care because it was ultimately quite brilliant to watch.
