Magi: The Kingdom of Magic

Magi is like a condensed version of One Piece set in quite a different setting with ensemble cast similar to One Piece. Alladin/Luffy have a strong sense of responsibility that is concealed by their carefree nature. Both are young, have a huge potential to become legendary heros and destined to posses god-like power in the future. Both have to go through ordeals although ordeals faced by Alladin pale in comparison to those faced by Luffy. In both anime, life energy serves as source of power although it is presented differently in both anime. Sindbad is Shanks. Kouen Ren is Whitebeard. Cassim is Ace. Judar is Blackbeard. There are so many comparable characters. Multiple kingdoms, war, politics, slavery, poverty, racism... So, much is common in both anime. However, the biggest similarity is that both seem to have a light hearted feel about them yet in reality are mature and dark enough to touch some series social and political issue present in our real world.
