Anime Review 14 Magi: The Kingdom of Magic

One thing before I get into my review (more like ramble/rage) is that you should probably watch Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic and the Magi: The Kingdom of Magic consecutively. Because I took a break for a while from it and came back and thought to myself "oh my god what's happening? I don't know these people or their stories" and while it did eventually come back, I would recommend watching it all at once. Also I'm reediting this review the next day because posting things I write at 3 AM isn't the best because the amount of 'tbh' and 'smh' and 'gdi's I use are just overwhelming. Enjoy my still rambling, stupidly passionate rant.

{Not Spoiler Free}

So I originally watched the first season because one it was on Netflix and two my friend recommended it to me. I have a love-hate relationship with action/ adventure type anime. Sometimes they can be a bit repetitive ie same fight patters and whatnot. However what really got me was the fact that there was so much drama going on. I got surprisingly furious and passionate about this. For example: Hakuryu is the most jerk faced person ever. Why would you side with Judar? I understand. Screwed up childhood. But he was such a pure baby at the beginning. I rooted for him and Morgiana. And how do you repay this? By siding with the dark rukh. What's with choosing the dark side huh? Ugh

And besides him, everyone else gets me worked up too, in good and bad ways. Like look at Morgiana. She ended up finding more Fanalis anyways from Leam! Good for her. Plus her new manipulation of her chains to form fiery wings is totally awesome. And how Alibaba was able to make peace with Cassim and do his super epic djinn equip. Can i just say i have so much awe for everyone's totally op djinn equips? Where do i get mine? 

And the politics of everything is so unbelievable. Like why can't everyone get along? And not even between the kingdoms but within them as well.

I kinda liked the fact that each of the three original characters went off on their own quests even though I was sad at the same time that they did. They're so great altogether but it was a good time for personal growth and stuff. 

Those fight scenes at the end though! Actually at a lot of points I got worked up. Like when Alibaba was fighting the huge ape in the arena and everyone was just ready to watch him die. I was about to toss my phone I was so upset. What are hearts? What is sympathy? Leam gladiators sure don't have that. And when Aladdin after all that training with Myers was able to become strong enough to do magic even without his magi abilities. Although if I were Morgiana and I found that house in the dark with Yunan in it I probably would've run as fast as I could away from it. 

Also can we talk about Yam and her adoptive father? Like even though the relationship was kinda flawed you gotta admit it was pretty heartwarming.

Omfg the most agonizing part. Titus. Hes such a cute little blob when he meets Ugo. But his whole mentality of agonizing over being a human pained me. I was praying for him to find a way to live longer so he could be with his friends because he deserved it and he deserves all the happiness in the world. He technically saved it since he helped Mogamett. And when he was reincarnated I felt so happy. Even though it ended as a cliffhanger I'm still happy because at least, for now, some people are happy even though there's still stupid conflicts. Like honestly theres magic in this world and you can do super cool things with it. Why do you need to fight? Why do you need more land? So stupid.

Why did Hakuryu have to screw things up? Seriously. I'm still fuming mad.

Beyond relatable

Aren't they just too precious?

AWHHHH
