'Magi: Labyrinth of Magic' Anime Commentary

Magi: Labyrinth of Magic


Ep 1
Well...that's one way to start a show. With lots of crashing and noises and stuff.
You spent part of your life there?!?!
Also, this person (who I know is a guy) sounds like a little girl.
Where ARE they? It looks very awesome.
I'm actually very excited for this show.
Does anyone else find the blondie highly attractive? Hm? Hm?
Saying it doesn't mean I understand.
Wow. Chibi.
What do you think he was doing.
"I love boobs"???
So Aladdin screws up Alibaba's life within about...10 seconds of meeting him.
Aladdin continues to eat???
Mysterious historical structures?
Yeah, but can one person clear it? Or can more than one?
Oh my gosh. Alibaba's sleeping face is adorable.
Who doesn't love money?
Two womanizers, huh?
Lemons. Aren't you implying something?
Why aren't they helping??
Oh my god. This hurts my heart. Poor pink-y.
Now, I can guess what Aladdin wished for. He wished for a friend, didn't he?
The hands turned pink? Is the girl really that attractive?
Hm. We're mirroring the Aladdin movie, aren't we? On the run from the guards.
Beautiful girls...all over the world. Lalala. Singing...
I love that this show doesn't hold back with the boobs. Not because I like boobs. But because it's a change in culture.
How does Alibaba have the money for this? He doesn't. That's the truth.
WOW. He caved.
Aladdin is smart...
WHOA. Our first monster is a...flower?
Whoa. My video froze with that freaked out mother's face.
What happened in Alibaba's past?
So this is how this show is going to go. Alibaba's going to get into some situation, and Ugo and Aladdin are going to save him. UNTIL Alibaba has his own power. Let's put this theory to the test.
Admittedly, the soundtrack is very Aladdin-esque. Two thumbs up.
No duh it wasn't enough. It was one barrel. What creature of that size gets drunk on only one barrel?
Magic turban? WOW.
You can't die. You're one of the main characters!
Just where is Ugo's head?
WOW. That song, though. It's so kitschy.
YUP. I was right. It was 'Be my friend'. GOD.
They could fly away. No regrets, am I right?

Ep 2
WELL THEN. That sucks.
Another prediction. They'll take half the show to defeat Amon. Or maybe less. Then become famous and all.
GREAT. A flaming inferno.
Flammable water? What even.
Alibaba is quite amazing. He's very smart.
This Lord J-whatever guy reminds me of the doctor guy from Steins;Gate.
WOW. Ugo could fit in that space? Also...INDIAN JONES?
When he says hungry, I'm guessing some fruit will appear. But it'll be deadly.
Basically, they're  big, green ants. WHAT IF THEY'RE FRIENDLY? Okay...never mind.
It's a KNIFE. Not some sword. Geez.
Those green swords have to be actually useless. Because they're made of weak slime.
They look more like butterflies than birds if you ask me.
Okay. Ugo is super cool. And Aladdin and Alibaba would DIE without him.
Well, if you don't tell him, the viewers won't know. We can't read your mind, Alibaba.
So THIS is how the girl gets involved.
Mah-gee? It's Mah-jey. Geez. Get it right.
It's as if he wasn't there...
Why did the lord think that would work? WHY?
How is this guy not dead yet? REALLY.
Ugh. This lord guy is really making me mad.
Here's the Danganronpa-esque blood stuff. Awkwardly colored and all.
The guard better rebel and kill the lord. Or I will.
There seems to be a pattern. So. Why don't they see if there's a pattern?
Dude. There's enough space on those rocks to stand there and get gently warmed.
Powerful legs? WHY. Why is that his introduction for Morgiana? (Whose name we just found out.)
Chibi Aladdin gives me life. He's so cute.
Finally, Aladdin understands the concept of slavery. It's beyond shackles. It's a mental state.
The lord didn't go that far, did he?
I'm guessing...trapdoor?
Okay. Where do they get the cloth for those sack dresses?
Uh...how does that even work? She can't make dent like that.
Wow...almost panty shot.
Open sesame? REALLY. I thought the word would be 'friend' (Anyone get that joke? No? No? Man...suckers.)
Please tell me they go and help Morgiana. PLEASE.
At that altitude, they should have a lack of oxygen.

Ep 3
Why would Morgiana know? Really? WHY?
It's not your city. Obviously.
It's a ghost town basically.
Yeah, who has the flute? Not Alibaba. Not Aladdin.
And that looks like the Flame for the Olymics.
NOPE. It's gotta be fake.
Those are stab wounds. Not burn ones.
Uh. You had to go through that because you're a snotty 'little man'.
Who cares how long? Palace swordsmanship doesn't beat street roughhousing because there are no rules in streetfights.
He probably didn't learn a thing.
He's a lost prince, isn't he?
And he calls for a young girl to help. Let's see this play out.
Admittedly, I didn't guess the royalty thing. Really.
I'm really getting tricked by the young Morgiana. Really.
Number one slave was carrying lemons. Remember how they met?
Uh...what was that liquid noise? OH EW. I don't care what it was. But it sounded gross.
Is he chanting this like a creeper, or is it ringing in her ears?
Also, I think using her kick to kill him would be better than a sword. He could totally turn that against her.
YOU called him Magi, Lord. What do you think it is??
Losers like him? Sounds like a book title.
If you think about Morgiana was going to go WITH Alibaba and Aladdin. So why is she fighting them now?
So Morgiana is Sanji?
Genie and genie.
UGO. Oh my gosh. Loving the charades here.
That means...Aladdin was in a dungeon?!?!
A Magi has magic. Not a king choser.
Wait. Why are kings chosen by a Magi?
Alibaba's bags of gold look like custard buns.

Ep 4
Uh, those women are dancing very awkwardly.
Who exactly is he freeing them from? The lord is GONE.
Does anyone else think that Alibaba would have noticed the glowing symbol by now?
ASUNA LOOKALIKE?
They have very Chinese looking uniforms.
I find this lady extremely confusing. But warm and cuddly.
Just HOW does Alibaba hope to find Aladdin?
Ooh. Asuna lookalike and Spiky Hair Dude are cute.
This Ren lady is really attacking this clan.
Why doesn't Aladdin try and take them to Alibaba?
Okay. I believe this girl. I really do. She's good. A good person.
Granny is so happy. So very happy.
But a war has started anyways.
Oh man. That granny knows stuff.
Poor Aladdin...

Ep 6
HALF A YEAR? Wow. Timeskip much?
Your benefactor? Who is that exactly?
We have yet to meet three or so people in the OP. Hm.
They have to know that Morgiana is a slave. Right?
I ship Sahsa and Leila. They're adorable.
Foreshadowing that Morgiana CAN get in.
When did Morgiana get fishnets?
Her hair is pink not red.
She's brutal...
Well, you got to leave. So yeah.
You're giving the kid nightmares. SHUT UP.
I'm getting chills watching Morgiana fight.
ALADDIN. Wait. Does that mean that the Kouga clan got captured?
Do you just not know what town Alibaba is in? Really?
How are their feet not burning now?

Ep 7
There's one of the three people from the OP we hadn't met yet.
I do miss Alibaba...
Wow. With the introduction of Gakupo lookalike, I started to clap loudly.
Sin? Well, it's your fault for sleeping like that.
Sins looks like he's wearing a crop top.
Is he a prince? I'm guessing Sin's a prince.
I TOLD YOU. He's royalty. Sinbad. Man...
She doesn't know the slang name?
Fog Troupe? One letter off, and it'd be the Frog Troupe.
I'm confused. Does magic exist or no?
Exposition by just plain out telling you.
Alibaba?? WHAT.
Sinbad is BADass. (Get it? Get it??)
Okay. So Alibaba has money. But I'm guessing it got stolen or he wasted it on girls. So he now steals. Originally, I'd have said this Alibaba is different, but that is not how shounen works.
SEVEN? Wow.
Poor Sinbad. His amazingness is being underrated.
But doesn't he have djinn?
Oh my god. That's so sad. That's so sad. That little baby. Oh my god.
Fog swords? I die...
Jafar is so cool.
It's ALIBABA. (You can tell because of the covered face and peek of blond hair.)
TOLD YOU.

Ep 8
What happened to Alibaba? I imagine it's way more interesting than what happened to Aladdin or Morgiana.
Dude. Amon is an old djinn. OLD.
Some of the things from the OP make sense now.
As I said, it used to be that Aladdin was the most powerful. But, now, Alibaba has his own weapon.
This Kassim guy is very manipulative.
Morgiana, obviously. Who else would be there?
Morgiana's power comes from her legs. Not her arms...
Dude. This is a complicated system of whatnots with different empires and all.
Since when did Aladdin have a staff?
And why don't they get some lights in that room?
Chibi Alibaba is so cute. And so is his mother.
Alibaba's mom was a prostitute. That's not the best job in the world.
So Alibaba's from Balbadd. Hm...
And they got lazy with faces, so the king has none.
I knew it. He's a prince.
That, again, is a dagger. Not a sword.
When they were kids, they all turned to chibis.
He's talking without his lips moving. Wow.
WHOA. Now he has a face? NOW? Also, the king is SUPER old. Like 60-70s. So, he was in his 50s when he met Anise? Or something? Unless Anise was way older than I thought.
How did he know their location? The tunnels, I mean.

Ep 9
The OP really interupts the story...
How long has this Fog Troupe been around?
Kassim's playing with Alibaba.
You know, this is only rising action. We're almost at 10 episodes, and we're not close to the main action.
Masrur is crazy awesome.
They don't know what Sinbad looks like? REALLY.
Magoi? What is that?
Whoa. I didn't expect Sinbad to offer himself up.
If you look at it so far, Alibaba doesn't seem like one of the main characters. Sinbad does.
The background music is crazy awesome. I love it. It sounds like from an opera.

Ep 10
Alibaba talked  to him. But the king didn't say a word to him.
Geez. This new guy is making me annoyed. Really.
WHOA. What is this new Magi doing? Weird...looks like heat lamps.
This guy doesn't care about heart.
Sinbad has enough djinn and all. Plus he can fight. In general.
I've never seen a fight like that.
Magic competition? Like Athena v Poseidon?
Ice magic? Really?
The brothers are still there?!?! Why? Are they important?
Aladdin is basically a novice. He's playing with fire.
Now, it looks like 'Frozen'!
Aladdin isn't even using magic!
If Ugo dies, I riot. We still haven't seen his face yet!
Yelling at him won't change a thing.
Ugo's head is just sitting in that library? OH MY GOSH.
Ugo has to stop hurting himself.

Ep 11
Are we killing a Magi we barely know? Really?
There's only one person from the OP we haven't met yet!
What kind of people are they?
So this girl isn't nice? Geez. I thought, from the OP, she'd be nice.
Whoa. Sinbad is crazy strong. How?
Wow...fun embarrassment scenes.
No, Aladdin, no! Don't die. Don't pass away! Nooo.
Can't they rely on someone else's magoi?
Kassim ran off?
Deputy king? What does that mean?
Alibaba really doesn't know much.
Came to what? Vaguely talking about is awful. Thanks for teasing me...
'Economic adviser'? What does that even mean?
Unlimited amount of fan? WOW. That's stupid.
What do you mean? He means to turn them into slaves. How do you not get that?
I've not seen Morgiana more riled up than when she hears about slavery.
STOP RELYING ON SINBAD. He can't hold your hand.

Ep 12
Signing ceremony?
The citizens should sing the praises of Sinbad not Alibaba. Alibaba is just standing there without a decision.
Sinbad might as well be one of the main characters.
Aka Sinbad is badass.
Alibaba IS a prince. He has diplomatic knowledge already.
But he's a figurehead of the Fog Troupe.
Why doesn't Kassim take king? Oh nevermind.
Yeah, but you're untrained. And reckless.
Light and dark. Yay symbolism!
Who or where did Sinbad learn this from?
Lady Killer? Hahaha. True, though.

Ep 13
That temple looks Thai.
We're giving the princess emotions now? And she's NOt the villain?
He's nothing good. That's all you need to know, princess.
BANKER? Why are you asking him to kill Alibaba?
Uh...ew. That's ew.
His throat was slit. DUDE.
Dungeon creatures?
Amon's sword is truly amazing.
Morgiana saves the day!
I would hate to be thrown like that.
Know, we get to know the other way.
So...you summon their element? That's hella easy if you have a lighter.
She's going to BREAK those structures.
Sahbmad! Go go go!

Ep 14
GASP from the crowd.
No, Sahbmad would die as a king. He's so scaredy cat.
Poor Ren...she's disappointed in Ahbmad.
Being able to hear Ren's thoughts is actually great.
Then...if a monarchy doesn't work...BE A DEMOCRACY.
Sinbad and Sinbad's crew!
I can HEAR Ren's ovaries exploding right now.
Seven Seas Alliance?
Then put your Dungeon wealth into it, Alibaba.
Pretend they didn't happen? Excuse me?
Then you need to edit the 'Seven Seas Alliance' to 'Seven Sees and Balbadd Alliance'.
Wait. Then how old is Sinbad? Freakishly old, I'm guessing.
Ren is actually a child. And her advisor is judging her sooo bad.
Rewrite all your laws? Dude, that'll take ages.
How can anyone hear him?
STILL???

Ep 15
Alibaba looks like a Roman senator or something with that look.
Kassim should yield.
'Those days' were literally like...30 minutes ago.
Ugo is really attractive.
He created them? They're so cute. They're like little bunnies and stuff.
That tornado of dark and light is gorgeous.
If the concentration of the rukh is so big that humans can see it...then can't they see that? The tornado.
Wisdom of Solomon? WHOA. Oh my gosh. UGO. Don't go. DON'T GO, you gorgeous, blue hunk.
What Kassim is saying is basically the basics of a democracy. Except without the king part. Anyone can be in government and all.
Getting magoi takes hours. Not minutes. Geez, Alibaba. And the fire thing only works for a bit.
Oh how the tables have turned...
You're asking him to kill his childhood friend...
NOPE. Amon ex machina.
At times, I admired Alibaba. Then he turns into a sniveling fool.
That has got to hurt. Because there is no tip of the blade.
Well, not anyone can be a container for power. NOT EVERYONE.
Ebon container? Oh my god. It looks awful.

Ep 16
I think it's safe to say that Kassim is no more...
Aladdin is one of the main characters in this show. Yet, he's been out of commission for a good 2-4 episodes.
If he asks that one more time...
Sinbad?!?! (You can hear my surprised shout from miles away.) Also, I yelled it out loud twice. TWICE.
Alibaba can kill a black demon? Wow...
You know...what if he tried cutting OUT Kassim?
That scene with the gloves appearing and disappearing is actually funny.
Wow. The army guards are crazy. Or so brave.
Does Sinbad have magic or something?
Jafar and Masrur are being crazy.
You find Sinbad by going to the center of the problem.
And I can't believe those brothers are still getting screentime. Who are  they? And why do they matter?
Aladdin finally returns after...how many episodes?
Alibaba's going to die (I know he won't but still.) He's going to burn himself out.
Alibaba's pure determination is striking.
The power to materialize a djinn? HM.
Just saying, wouldn't the proximity to heat magic DISSOLVE the iceicles? Oh...
And that's all we see of the knowledge Aladdin gains.
He has obtained 'it', but he's still lacking in magic?

Ep 17
You can only use heat magic? So that Solomon's thing will only give you some magics? Or one?
So intense flashbacks of one's past gives them a wonderful headache that rends them useless.
It's like this hand is peeing on the floor. (Which looks like the sea...)
That scene with Mariam is actually sad.
YES. Kassim is saved! Kassim is saved!
WAIT. Is he not...oh my god...no. You're not doing this to me!
If this show goes any further, I'm going to start bawling.
Why do you exist? Because we need a hot, sexy character who is highly awesome and highly attractive.
Whoa. He's a snake? What even?
Why are the bad guys doing that stupid reveal by turning on lights thing?
Al-Thamen? Hm
Please have that princess thing where tears resurrect the dead. PLEASE.
Does anyone else want the 07 Ghost's way out with the new familiar? I WANT A familiar.
I'm laughing and crying. This is so amazing. Thank you, Aladdin.

Ep 18
Even Sinbad's scrolls are purple.
The snake!
Leave? Why leave?
And I love his symbol of Kassim... I do. Really.
Wait. His dagger isn't healed? Fixed?
How far out is Sindria?
Wait. From the boat...to training?
Instead of wearing shirts, some people wear bandages.
A month time skip?
Like a commonwealth? Because that's the vibe I'm getting.
For a second, Al-Thamen sounded like Elfheim. Like SAO's. Haha.
So mage and magi are different?
They're so excited for this hunt thing.
Eight generals? Hm. Who are they exactly?
The white haired guy is going to cook the fish basically.
And here goes the Alibaba x Morgiana. Darn it.
He just insulted her. Really. More gorgeous than usual. Geez.
Jafar is an assassin???
Sartos? Who looks like Erza.
Is this the other person from the first OP???
He, of course, made a move on her!
Sinbad is 30...he should take a wife. Soon enough.
Go, Morgiana, go! Your feet were made for more than kicking butt!
What thing happened to Kasism? Or...rather...which thing?
I actually can't believe that Sindria is that amazing. But it is.

Ep 19
It took you that long to figure out what magic meant?
Amon's probably really annoyed at the breaking the knife part.
What counts as a metal vessel? Really. And just how many Dungeons are there?
And I was just wondering what was a household vessel.
She's kidding me. Right? She's not going to use her shackles. PLEASE.
Wait. I thought Ren was the girl...oh.
They made sure he went to bed. For reasons.
I actually love this scene. This is hilarious.
I love how his Eight Generals just don't care. They're all so brutally honest.
Sharrkan probably likes Yamraiha.
WHOA. We get the backstories of two of the Eight now?
I love the water blobs.
Children shouldn't watch. Oh my god. This is so funny.
Wow. Hakuryuu is outspoken.

Ep 20
What? What's his circumstance?
Sharrkan is being really lax in training.
Is that lady having a reprisal? Haha. Almost!
Water bubble!
But you know NADA about the Dark Continent.
They look really awesome. Really.
Just when this show got serious...it goes back to hahahaha stuff.
Morgiana doesn't need magic. She's AWESOME.
Learn from them? Like what?
Oh my gosh. Alibaba...
Sinbad just got COVERED in blood.
So we're NOT fighting that group yet? We have like 5 episodes left.
She's older than Alibaba??
EATS PEOPLE?

Ep 21
Open all of them? Dude...
Oh my gosh. That turtle is messed up.
Literally everything they've seen in the dungeon is cute. With a killing streak. I'm kidding.
This dungeons is like Alice in Wonderland.
Hakuryuu is probably in awe right now.
Hakuryuu didn't know what to expect. Sooo. Don't blame him.
What's so wrong with humans?
Hakuryuu has strong ideals. I want to see how this goes.
Why don't they use the magic turban?
Amon wasn't that active in trying to kill them. But Zagan is. Why?
Zagan is so judgy...
There's so much characterization with Hakuryuu. I do love it.
Hakuryuu! GO GO GO! Ki! Ki!
I'm going to kill Zagan. He's being so rude.
Hakuyuu is like Romano. and I'm loving it. He has a tough front, but he's really a big baby.

Ep 22
Zagan has an opera like voice.
Also, won't they need food or water or rest soon?
She can inside the dungeon? How?
He openly talks about 'the Organization'. Why...what...
Judal is playing victim really well.
Sinbad's heart is going to kill him.
Hakuryuu is now important to you, Morgiana? Hm?
House of sweltering heat? What does that even mean?
How do you know what the vessel's name is?
You also just burned Zagan...your help.
OH MY GOD. That's so creepy. She's crying blood. That's twice in one arc!
Tiare? When did she say her name?

Ep 23
That girl underestimates him.
Magi always win. ALWAYS.
Issac? You said it weird...
This girl is all in pastels...excepter her weapon. Which I don't like.
He's not alive really. He's beating himself over the head with that.
She's all cute. And then goes all 'I gotta kill you now. Sorry, bruh.'
NO. We are NOT bringing back Kassim.
Just saying, she won't turn back. So...yeah.
And Alibaba's PTSD is going off right about now.
I love that all the Generals get ready with treat.
Don't fall to his words, Kougyoku! Be strong.
And can't Yamraiha build another barrier?
Aries Tower? Dude..
I love Sindria's spirit. And determination.
The girls even get into the fighting! WOOT WOOT.
She's a dungeon capturer because of Judal's help...
Man, if Sinbad isn't toying with the princess, I'm not sure what that is.
BOLG?
He's going to get Amon cut again...
Amon's treasured sword? WHAT.
And why, to the ruhk almighty, does he hold one hand behind his back?
He lost his limbs without blood...
The ultimate form is just her in armor??
That got translated to Alinaba...
He really had no choice with that running thing.
Alibaba looks like a cat with those cuts right now.
Judal likes Hakuryuu? Uh...he doesn't have a djinn. SO.
How do those palace guards hope to fight the Organization?

Ep 24
Just how many people live in Sindria? That was a lot of arrows...
NO WAy. We aren't doing one on one battles. LIES.
Creepy man in wheelchair reminds me of that one X-Men guy...what's his name?
Can they not detect something that close to the island??
Combination magics! Aladdin is going places.
So...who is Hakuryuu going to deal with?
DUDe. Hakuryuu! NOOO.
FANALIS FTW.
But she's done now! She can't fight anymore really.
Wow. This princess is really delusional. That...or she's really lonely... I can't tell which. This is like an extreme form of an imaginary friend.
He plunged in the blade, but it only went point-deep.
Zetul zetul zaraam? Sounds like some bippity boppity boo to me.
Why do people think mass murdering the royal family is the way to go?
Oh man. This story is so sad...
But the darkened part of Alibaba's face is really ugly.
We keep forgetting Hakuryuu's loss of arm. But then we are reminded of it constantly.

Ep 25
They better end this well. THEY BETTER.
Morgiana is going to die...
Kougyoku might be their saving grace...
A wooden arm? HELLA COOL. Hakuryuu deserves his own show. (Like Sinbad.)
TEAMWORK. (Also, background music.)
I love how they made this work. They really turned the situation around...
He blasted away those shells to see Yamraiha's boobs...
HAHA. They REALLY turned it around. Especially with that Yamraiha move.
KASSIM. You give my heart the power to go on.
Alibaba's moping. He just needs some mushrooms, and he'll be Tamaki!
I love how the tables have turned.
Also, why are we adding in Hakuryuu to this eclectic mix?
So will this affect Sinbad?
That's some awkward laughing, you know?
Sinbad ex machina.
This does not count as defeatin Al-Thamen. Not yet.
Also, Ugo better show his gorgeous mug sometime soon. Or I riot.
You know something's serious when Aladdin's eyes disappear.
You know in OP one, there was a lot of traveling. But we were either in Balbadd or Sindria...so. LIES.
