Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic

As shōnens, both are refreshingly unpredictable. They're filled with comedy, yet turn extremely dark in the blink of an eye. Some arcs focus on complex, large-scale conflicts. Both feature villains who do extremely immoral things, often for good (rational) reasons. Differences: Magi focuses more on the characters trying to solve conflicts, while HxH is more focused on survival. In HxH the battles are much more tactical and mind-gamey, and boss battles have much more hype and buildup.  

Both have: - Endless adventure based on the nakama powah and fights plus power upgrades. - A group of friends with powers with similar personalities (Ali/Natsu= energetic guy plus comic relief that gets fired up when its needed; Alladin/Wendy plus Lucy=A blue haired kid that seems weak but its not and its main goal is to make friends/ and is capable of summoning a helper(Genie/key spirit); Morgiana/Erza= serious and strong, fights like hell and has a tragic past related to slavery and bullying; Sinbad/Gray: Likes to strip a lot; Kougyoku/Juvia: has a crush on the guy that likes to strip and has the power of water, also suffers from a drastic personality change when is fighting and in the beginning is from the "enemy side". - One of the antagonists has the power of thunder. - Enemies becoming friends/Friends becoming enemies If you like one you´ll definitely enjoy the other;)  read more 

There is a slighty similar art style between both series along with historic/fantasy settings and a cast of bright and lovable characters. Both series are fantasy action adventures following a young cast in a land with multiple kingdoms. The main characters of both shows, Alibaba and Meliodas, are both successful and ambitious blondes with similar characteristics. Magi and Nanatsu no Taizai both have unique artstyles that are bright and not too realistic, favoring a younger teen audience however both series contain darker themes with battle, war and murder. That being said the shows mainly contain lighter themes like easy comedy, fun and justice. I'd say if you really enjoyed watching Magi last year and want to watch something similar this season, Nanatsu no Taizai would be a perfect match.  read more 

Both series feature two prominent characters who are close to one another and always looking after one another's well being. The both of them go on a form of journey to fulfill their goals while the same time helping others. It brings them for a journey and gives them new hope for the world that they live in and the ideas they embrace. Throughout their journey to achieve their goals, they learn new things while making both friends/enemies/and other people of interest. Both series have many funny dialogues but at the same time have emotions, drama, and bits of violence. The battles that the two main protagonists stars in are also portrayed as being shounen, with the supernatural bits added to it. Both series feature different settings but have a similar feeling to them. Additionally, there is also a prominent female character that aids the protagonists in various circumstances along the way, as well as other prominent supporting characters. Both series also deal with other issues that includes politics, power, dominance, and events from the past.  read more 

They are both about a long journey to accomplish a certain goal. And both have long stroy arcs. And the characters in both anime have sad background stories. 

These two Anime are very similar. They are both set in a magical world where various kingdoms are battling for supremacy. Additionally powerful relics are at the centre of each story. They both have somewhat engaging characters but could do a bit better. 

Both have main characters that try to find out who they are. Both have beings that choose kings and revolve around the same kind of era and place. Magi is more lighthearted that Juuni Kokuki (at least right now) and J.K. is rather violent. 

Set in fantasy themed environments, both plot's involve a small group of protagonists who progressively become stronger to fight against multiple empire's for freedom. Underlying similarities also involving human slave trading & references to character strength representing that of animals. Magic oriented themes are also an involved in each main plot line, however this is much less present in Akatsuki no Yona as compared to the Magi series which is magic centered. They both contain surprising plot or character developments and interesting action scenes, which overall makes each worth the watch if you enjoyed the other series.  

With an unlikely trio and a whole bunch of friends to help them out, nothing is impossible. That is one of the themes Magi and TTGL have in common, friends. They always have eachothers backs, especially in the most difficult times. The best part, however, is that both have splendid fighting scenes with ridiculously sized weapons and attacks. 

Both stories include clearing a place (a tower/dungeon) filled with challenges in order to reach their destination and achieve their goal. Each anime also contains a considerable amount of sword-fighting. Magi revolves around a magical world while Sword Art Online focuses on a virtual reality. 

Similarity is the system of dungeons and wealth flowing from it. Also for completing a dungeon hero's strength increases (in the "Magi": by getting the genie, and in "Dungeon than Deai ... " by increasing stats) The idea of world is similar, because people find the dungeon for the great earnings and know of dangerous this place. 

From the same creator. Both shounen series. Same art style. If you loved Magi, you should love Orient too! If you're watching Orient and haven't seen Magi, I highly suggest you do!  

Both Magi and Arslan have a war-centered conflict, though Magi has more supernatural elements, whereas Arslan feels more historically-rooted. Both worlds seem to take place in a Middle Eastern-based universe, though Arslan seems to be based more on the Persian Empire, while Magi has a more broad universe, with the Kou Empire being based on the Mongol Empire. Both deal with issues such as politics, slavery and the importance and responsability of being a ruler, though Magi is more light in tone and focuses more on the friendship and adventure side, whereas Arslan is a more serious, politics-driven narrative. The MCs in both series are close in age, Arslan is 14 and Alibaba is 17 in the beginning of the series, they are also both princes, having to overcome political issues and intrigues in order to help their respective countries. read more 

-Both are similar era -Both give off similar feelings -Both involve magic and supernatural -Both anime involves magic and supernatural -Both anime involve main character(Aladdin & William) has powers and are strong/chosen one/special -Both main character are stubborn, sort of similar personalities (Alibaba & William) & look similar -Both revolves around Kings -Both really good 

-Similar fantasy/adventure setting -Amazing animation and peculiar various well animated environments -Mediocre story in the first season which gets a lot better in the second season -Immersive world-building -Engaging enough characters with a perv overpowered kid as a main character 

I'm surprised this only has a single recommendation as of the time of writing this. The two shows both contain a similar style of comedy. Although Magi has a couple darker themes in a few episodes the overall world is cheerful and filled with colors. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to recommend the Sinbad No Bouken spin-off since that one is more lighthearted (expect episode 1) Morgiana/Alibaba's dynamic with eachother is very similar to the main konosuba casts interactions Both series take place in fantasy worlds with magic and exploration being central aspects.  

Taking into account the colorful characters and the scenery, it's visually similar. The story is not much alike, but there are some parts that you get the same vibe. 

Both lead male characters are somewhat trash at first and has a crappy life (Touma) (Alibaba) then they met someone who changed there life (Index) (Aladdin) 

-Both place a major emphasis on travel and exploring new places -Both also place major focus on politics, though Magi's kingdoms are fictional -Both focus on corruption, though Vinland Saga has a more direct approach to it -Both feature similar character development 

Easy. Shaman King and Magi are very similar... First main characters: -Aladdin is a little boy and Morty form Shaman king is little too. -Alibaba is a powerful guy like Yoh. -Morgiana and Ana ....both have POWER. -Yoh friends are like the eight generals. Now Djiins: -Djiins are similar with spirits form Shaman King. -Metal Vessel are similar with Yoh sword or Horohoro snowbord or another similar object. -Djiin equip are oversouls. -Extrem Magic are full oversouls -Magoi/Ruuk is Furyoku/Reiryoku Thank you for reading my recommendation. I think Shaman King and Magi are two animes very similar to each other.Both use spirits / djinns for fight. Both have similar main characters. Both have power like Magoi or furyoku. Both are great anime P.S.:Sorry for my bad english. read more 

I'm surprised this hasn't been recommended yet. Despite the stories are different, but the characters from both anime are quite similar. - Aladdin = Yugi (A young boy (Yugi is older than Aladdin though) who have a sacred item hanged on their neck (Yugi's Millennium Puzzle & Aladdin's Flute)). - Ugo = Yami Yugi (Protagonist's Partner who lived inside the sacred items and have a strong bond with them. They helped their partners a lot). - Alibaba = Jounouchi/Joey (Protagonist's best friend who have a blonde hair. The most energetic person in their group. They can changed from a goofball into a serious person at certain situation). - Judar = Yami Bakura (They look friendly sometimes but they actually hate the protagonist so much. They like to put the protagonist in a dangerous situation.... and they have the similar personality). If you like YuGiOh characters, then you'll like Magi characters too ^ ^ read more 

Both anime contains candidate for a king. Powerful sidekicks that will guide and help them  

Both series focuses mainly on nations fighting together. While Code Geass has deep storyline, complicated characters and universe, Magi has a coloured universe, lighter with a bit of comedy as well. But don't worry, Magi goes often in dark scenes. A lot of blood.  

Both series have a world with kings that have followers whom gain magical powers from their lords and both series revolve around this concept. Both focus on the struggles these powered individuals have to face. K focuses a little more on these magical people and has a modern day setting in contrast to Magi's fantasy setting and more focus on the society. Also, K is full of bishounen and has a unique soundtrack comparable to Magi. 

Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic and Record of Grancrest War are high fantasy series with kingdoms at war, magic systems, and heroes. Theo (Record of Grancrest War) is an idealistic knight who teams up with a magic user to bring the war to an end and along the way assembles followers and allies. Alibaba (Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic) is a cunning young man who teams up with a magic user to become rich, but soon aspires for more idealistic goals, and along the way assembles followers and allies. Magi: The Labyrinth of Magi has better character growth whereas Record of Grancrest War has more battle episodes.  read more 

K: Return of Kings is the second season of the K series but it can stand well enough on its own. It has a stellar soundtrack, beautiful visuals and has the same concept of superpowered Kings and their followers fighting. The K series main difference is how these powered individuals interact, and the modern setting that separates it from Magi. 

Both have a shonen like a format and feel but with more mature content and dynamic plot points. Not necessarily groundbreaking animes, but are unique enough, have good action and a decent, well-paced plot. Also, they both involve mysterious weapons that are the source of the characters powers. This creates interesting dynamics throughout the show. 

Both address poverty and power abuse of the governing class. Both talk about very destructive wars. Both give the same feeling of sadness and "growing up". Both anime are at the border between shônen and seinen. Both have a very interesting world building and character development. Both are comedic and dramatic at the same time. Both taught me valuable life philosophy. .  

Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic and Made in Abyss succeed in creating an immersive and engaging world that viewers want to explore, which is very important in an adventure series. Riko and her group travel the Aybss to reach the deepest level. Alibaba and his group travel Dungeons to earn the allegiance of Djinns. Made in Abyss is far darker than Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic and its characters' survival are always at risk. Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic builds up toward a large scale conflict, which does not exist in Made in Abyss. You will be easily invested in the main characters and their journeys.  read more 

Two very good adventure series with expansive worlds and interesting cultures. Magi: Labyrinth of Magic more closely resembles a traditional adventure series until war and conflict becomes the primary focus of the storyline. To Your Eternity is a slower-paced adventure where the main character travels to learn about living, but always encounter conflicts. Magi will easily capture your attention, but watchers of To Your Eternity are rewarded with an anime that has depth. 

- Young, lighthearted, and kind main characters with destinies of epic proportions - Loveable supporting casts/friend groups that grow together - Similar bright and colorful art styles 

They both are inspired from mythology,Saint Seiya is inspired from greek and roman mythology and Magi is inspired from mostly arabic mythology (but also various other folklores and cultures).In both animes,the balance of power in the world depends on the "magical equipment".In Saint Seiya human counterparts of the constellations, fight while wearing the sacred armors named "Cloths",who give them superhuman powers.In Magi,the humans who conquered a djinn's dungeon,are given magical weapons called "metal vessels",which are fueled by the person's "magoi",a type of energy similar to ki,specific only in this world,because of the existence of rukh,the source of all energy,"home of the souls". Both animes have interesting characters,that experience growth and development,engaging story lines and epic fights.They also have quite a similar drawing style,which is very visually pleasing. If you love fantasy animes that combine comedy and drama,then you have to start watching both ^^ read more 

Do you like anime that are set in an Arabian kind of world? Do you like a dash of fantasy and some romance? Then watch both of these! (Make note that Break Blade is a serie of 6 movies) 

Both series are about a group of friends (2 x male, 1 x female) finding together one after the other and embarking on a journey. During their travels, they explore dungeons where they find mysterious artifacts. The protagonists also cross various human communities of the world they live in, and are confronted with their good and bad sides. Furthermore, the protagonists deal with characters who are not exactly good or evil and whose actions are not always predictable. This makes it pretty interesting to watch the path that the protagonists will take in my opinion. If you want to join treasure hunting protagonists in a world full of intrigue, conflict and wonders, both series may be for you. read more 

Both of these series have many similarities yet are both unique in their own ways. They are both are set in a magical and mythical world filled with a whole mixture of tribes and communities of people, animals, and mythical beings. Both stories follow a protagonist that is new to these worlds and are learning things from scratch. In Magi it is Aladin, in Gate, it's the JSDF. Magic also plays a big part in both worlds, though it plays a bigger part in Magi than in Gate. In both, you also get to meet different types of God like beings. Both stories also deal with hierarchy, particracy and most notably both series, on some level, focuses on discrimination of different people and beings. read more 

Myne and Aladdin are both blue-haired kids assisted by blonde boys. There is trade, commerce, and magic. 

Both are set in fantasy worlds Magic. Adventures!! They also both have MCs that are "uncommon" 

- The main characters both have petite bodies, blue hair, and are very OP - Set in a medieval fantasy world - Eye-catching action scenes with fun elements - The supporting characters are also particularly interesting and powerful Note: Magi is not an isekai animea  

They both contain a good mix of action humor and plot. 

Both are shounen and have the "friendship is everything" feel. Great characters and a very fun watch!  

-Epic story about staving off ancient evil that threatens the world -Small set of protagonists good character development -Magical spells, creatures in fantasy world -Beautiful sceneries huge effort spent on art quality -Interactions between factions 

-Large scale battle field with many parties involved -Collosal monsters fighting -Threat of nation being destroyed -Protagonists dont understand what is happening -Takes place mainly in city 

Both anime portray a good friendship between the different characters. Both have an adventure storyline. Both draw inspiration from stories. Both Aladdin and Fena have to discover who they are.  

Similarities - Both series take place in a fantasy world - Both stories feature an enemy invasion on their kingdom - Both MCs are overpowered/have powerful abilities - Both worlds have magic-systems of sorts Differences - Magi is in a real-world VS Dendrogram is in a virtual reality RPG - Magi MC is a god VS Dendrogram MC is an average player with OP gear 

Because both take place in the middle east and are action adventures 

-Both are similar era -Both involve magic and supernatural  

Both have a young, friendly, goofy, loyal, curious, powerful MC. MCs even look similar to each other. Both are not perfect shows and have their lulls, but the high points in both are super strong.  

Both Mashle and Magi series are similar in terms of power systems (Magic), but Magi has a better and deep story lines and Mashle has decent comedy. If you like one of them, you'll definitely like the other one and Both Sindbad and Mash are very cool!. 

Different universe but the same genres: adventure, magic, fantasy and a little romance. The main character during all anime meets new friends and fights with them. 

Both will rip out your heart but the main characters are all really cute trust me on this. Magi though is a lot more violent (?) and magic based whereas NagiAsu just focuses on four (five if you count Tsumugu but he's not a sea kid idk) students getting through hardships as well as love triangles.. Kind of a generic romance school anime but? Still very good imo. Magi focuses on friendship for the most part (in my opinion), but both have really great art as well as scenery. (also Tsumugu and Titus are my sons fight me) 

-Similar feeling from series. -Fight to save kingdom. - Determinated main heroes. 

These shows are shounen, have a spirit-infused sword wielding hero who starts out scared but develops into a courageous character, and both have a similar setting.The female leads in both these shows are quite strong-willed. Don't be scared away by the description, Arata Kangatari is an enjoyable watch and picks up pace quite early on. 

Slow pace anime with magic creatures and epic story  

Both shows are about tons of magical spells and in a fantasy, medieval setting. Oh and there's the adventure aspect in both shows as well. Magi is one of the more popular recent anime, and I am betting many active anime watchers should've already caught up with it. As for Slayers, due to its age, many younger viewers like me might've missed it back then. 

Both anime sound like something out of a video game: Druaga being about scaling a mountainous tower, Magi being about the clearing of the dungeons. They both feature somewhat initially useless leads that gradually grow into badasses and secretly have an iron will that makes them respectable. They both have about the same ratio of seriousness to comedy, and although neither are amazing, they're both plenty enjoyable. 

Both involve a little kid with an unknown past and strange abilities going on a journey. 

Both have blonde main Protangonists that never give up Both Protagonists have that one rival best friend who always turns to hatred Both have that epic Animation boost on certain fight scenes  

Protagonists that are extremely self-conscious and weak that have to grow up and fight. 

Protagonists that are extremely self-conscious and weak that have to grow up and fight. 

The dungeons that appear and grant those who scale them power is very similar to the tower that grants those who scale it whatever they desire. Both have great world building, OSTs, art styles and characters. 

-Both have that Middle Eastern/Arab aesthetic. Though Bucchigiri?! dosen't explicity use any of the Middle Eastern mythology or naming convention. -Both have lots of fights. -They both feature a young protagonist. -Both have colourful character designs. 

Both of these action adventures have a blue-haired main character with a previous mainstream association (Both Disney's Aladdin and Magi's Aladdin were adapted from a book, while Sonic from Sonic X is everyone's favorite speedy video game character.) 

Both take place in a world full of magic where the good battles against evil. Both have humor, action, and mystery. Compared to Magi, Orphen is a bit older, but both are still excellent.  

Both have a energetic character that finds friends with a certain goal in their life. They fight against enemies and end up finding many treasures in their journey while deepening their friendship bonds. 

Both are colorful. If you like the other you'll definitely like the other too. It has magic and interesting characters. Both have awesome fights!  

Both get thier ideas from the arabian nights stories which known as Thousand Night and Night. The characters are very similar to each other and they live is the same life-style which is full of the deserts and the water is very rare. Both of the stories talk about the magic and demons and ghosts . In general both anime have the same life-style exept that magi follows the japanese style which depend on the magical superpowers whereas Sindbad No Bouken follows the normal arabian life-style. 

Both of the shows tend to be carried by their settings, which are rich, fun, and thoroughly defined. Unfortunately, they also share the same weak point: contrived boob jokes that only reduce the shows' integrity. 

Both shows heavily capture the sense of adventure, and both feel rather similar. Magi is a bit bloodier than Saiyuki though. 

Similarities: •Both male main characters share a similar friendship (and goal), which is to make the other one better than the rest by assisting him along the way. (Sorta gives some boy-love feeling unfortunately) •Theres some character development (main characters improve over time). •The main characters also have signature moves. •Both are very long series (Kuroko No Basket has 3 seasons - 75 episodes while the Magi series has 2 seasons - 50 episodes. Bonus, there is an upcoming side story for the Magi series). (•Both are great shows, I highly recommend it in my opinion.) Differences: •The MAJOR differences about these two anime is that one is mainly about basketball (sport genre) while the other is more of an action/adventure. •Different settings (Magi is based in ancient times while the settings for Kuroko No Basket is present-time). read more 

These two anime deal with magic, and friendship. Fairy Tail's first series(Seasons 1-14), delivered action, magic, and the bonds of friends, in a watered-down package. No blood, and the like. The 2014 series, however, delivers this and more. It sticks to the original manga-style character designs, adds in the blood, way more violence, and not to mention that main baddy, Zeref, is a total bad-ass. The similarities it has with Magi, is the power of bonds, the action, and some situations. The action of FT(2014), is similar to the action in Magi, with the characters having great, smooth, fluid movements, and full action sequences. As for the power of bonds, all of Fairy Tail treats it's other members like family. The same can be said for Magi, when Aladdin and his traveling companions Morgiana, Alibaba, and Hakuryu, are treated like his family throughout the journey. As for the situations, however, in the Balbadd Arc of Magi, Alibaba returns to his kingdom, in hopes of freeing it from it's current ruler, Ahbmad. The situation took a similar turn to Fairy Tail's own Edolas arc, when Mystogan returned to Edolas, and took his father's throne as ruler. All in all, Fairy Tail is really good, and is pretty similar to Magi. If you like Magi, you should check it out.  read more 

Magi and Zero no Tsukaima are two similar short series which are set in a medieval fantasy world filled with magic. Both series have a similar plot where characters must overcome difficult situation to regain peace in the kingdom. Zero no Tsukaima is more on the ecchi-harem side, but Magi does have some big-breasted characters. If you love one of these anime, you'll love the other. 

An adorable kid with strong powers turns up and ends up helping/having to give his new friends/students powers. Both have action and comedy and center around some sort of magic. The main character loves his friends/students, is very selfless, and likes to smile. 

The story takes place in a similiar oriental setting. They both are about politics (Magi later on, Altair from the start). The only big difference is that Altair makes a "realistic" fantasy approach, while Magi is filled with supernatural elements (magic, spirits and so on). 

Magi and Reikenzan are pretty similar in a lot of ways. Both main characters are unique with special spirits. Both have crazy ability with magic. Both focus on the main character training and becoming stronger. Both have the MC starting their training with physical training while everyone else starts magic training right away. The main difference is Reikenzan is a bit more light-hearted and has a stronger focus on training than Magi does 

I just thought that sakura reminded me of morigiana they both have this determined feeling plus the setting kinda looks the same  

Magi is what Arcana tried to be like (except Arcana failed at doing so). They both have somewhat similar settings, superpowers and magic, good looking male characters (an eccentric blonde guy in both) and action. (a lot more in Magi though)
