Personally I am a big fan of the the manga Magi so my opinion might be a little bias.

Story:

The story follows Sinbad during his childhood, every event that takes place has a correlation to how Sinbad becomes who he is and what he achieved. The way that the story is told is based on the largest events that connected Sinbad to those who would help him created the Seven Seas Alliance

Art:

The art-style is faithful to the manga and the animation is extremely smooth so it is definitely nice to watch. The only fault with the animation has to be what I like to ... call the "slide-show" effect, where during certain scenes they will use a single frame to display an action such as a "sword-clash".

Sound:

The soundtrack in this anime is great, ti definitely builds excitement and comes on cue in all the right situations. The music style is a more modern music style rather than the orchestra that plays most of Magi's themes. That however isn't why I deducted a point, my reasoning is the limited amount of soundtracks in the anime, there is around 3-4 soundtracks that are repeated very often and while they are good, more variety would have created a different atmosphere during certain situations.

Character:

The main issue with both the Magi Sinbad adaption and the main series adaption was the amount of details that they skipped and the events that they changed. In this particular series they continue the trend by skipping character development chapters all for the sake of maintaining the action through a small 13 episode series.

Enjoyment:

Seeing a younger version of Sinbad is definitely fun and intriguing especially since I am keeping up with the main manga.

Overall:

I loved the series and would definitely love to see a season 2. The way that they end the series leaves an opportunity for a season 2 and even gives a glimpse of events that would take place in the future.
