1. Magi is FANTASTIC
2. This is more as a spinoff about Sinbad's past, so I suggest to get to know him in previous seasons.

I think it's better to start with Sinbad, as it happened before magi. Seeing what happens to him as a grown up after seeing him as teen, may be interesting. I would do it this way, but I heard of Sinbad adaption after I finiahed to watch magi

Then I think you should do it the opposite way, so just in the order they were aired. If this will adapt the same story as the OVA before, it will be much more interesting to watch the past of the characters wich you already know from Magi, and can relate to their future personalities. Especially true for Drakon and Jafar. And I think the story will make more sense if you start with Magi, but you decied.

No it's not important if you haven't watched the other seasons. If you watch it after this it's okay too.

Completely up to you, but chronologically the Adventures of Sinbad came first.

It won't spoil anything for you and probably give you a better understanding of things before you jump into the main series.

I definitely would watch the original series first because it introduces the world better, starting with spin-off would seem rushed and confusing.

It'd be better to watch the series first as the Sinbad story will be more relevant to you, imo and you'd know how aspects of the world work.

It's technically possible to watch this first and understand everything.

Personally, I really rec Magi tho (the manga, not that horrible adaptation)

Ok, I watched the both Magi seasons, but did not watch OVA of Sinbad, should I watch it before or it is not linked?

If you read the Background section of the upcoming TV-series:
Episodes 2 through 6 of the television series are renamed versions of the OVAs and are not included in this entry.

I presume this means that episodes 2-6 of the TV-series will literally be the OVA episodes. So in that case you'll end up watching the same episodes in the coming weeks anyway

Perhaps it's like star wars where you're better off watching it as it comes. While the animation I'm sure isn't like the prequel VS. the "sequel" Perhaps you will have fun connection the dots as you watch young Sinbad after the two series.

Agreed. If you start with Sinbad story, you won't be familiar with the characters. I also advise you to watch in the order they aired. Labyrinth > Kingdom > Sinbad OVA/this TV series (I think TV series would be better, unless this goes bad...)

star wars ep 4-6 were also made before ep 1-3 and still 1-3 are prequels, just shows that it doesn't matter when its made it matters where the story ends and starts and this starts before he became king while other are where hes already king making this prequel despite being newer

Sinbad is a trash character, so go watch the main series instead.

Release order is always your best bet, then you're experiencing it the same as everyone did when each thing was new.
