How to watch Magi in order

Magi is an Arabian Nights-inspired fantasy anime with a prequel spin-off about the legendary Sinbad. Here is how to watch every season in order.

Shinobu Ohtaka's Magi follows Aladdin, a young boy with a djinn in his flute, and his friends Alibaba and Morgiana as they conquer mysterious dungeons and become caught up in a struggle between kingdoms. The two-season anime was a hit, and the spin-off Adventure of Sinbad tells the story of how the charismatic king of Sindria rose to power.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order introduces Sinbad as a larger-than-life mentor before revealing his past.

  1. Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic (2012)
  2. Magi: The Kingdom of Magic (2013)
  3. Magi: Adventure of Sinbad (2014)
  4. Magi: Adventure of Sinbad (2016)

Adventure of Sinbad, both the OVA and the TV series, is set years before Aladdin's journey, which means it comes first in the timeline.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

Chronologically, Sinbad's youthful adventures come first, followed by the main Magi series.

  1. Magi: Adventure of Sinbad (2014)
  2. Magi: Adventure of Sinbad (2016)
  3. Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic (2012)
  4. Magi: The Kingdom of Magic (2013)

Which Order Should You Choose?

For first-timers, release order is the best choice. Sinbad's mysterious reputation is a big part of the main series, and seeing his younger self afterward adds depth without spoiling his surprises. If you are rewatching, chronological order gives you a richer look at the world's politics. Keep in mind the anime does not adapt the full manga, so readers can continue the story after The Kingdom of Magic.
