I frequently see people asking on Reddit how to watch Magi in order. It’s pretty straightforward, though!
Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic (マギ, Magi) is a Japanese fantasy manga written and illustrated by Shinobu Ohtaka.
An anime television adaptation by A-1 Pictures aired in Japan from 2012 to 2013, and a second season called Magi: The Kingdom of Magic aired from 2013 to 2014.
There is also a spin-off series titled Magi: Adventure of Sinbad, written by Ohtaka and illustrated by Yoshifumi Ohtera. The manga was later adapted into a 5-episode OVA.
The series is heavily inspired by various stories from One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian Nights), especially the tales of Aladdin, Ali Baba, and Sinbad the Sailor.

How to watch Magi in order
It’s a piece of cake with Magi. You have the option to watch it in broadcast order or in chronological order. While both orders are effective, the broadcast order is generally preferred.
This is due to the fact that the 2012 season does an excellent job of introducing you to all of the characters and the anime’s universe. There are several action sequences, and it is more gripping than Sindbad’s Adventure.
Magi Broadcast Order
| ANIME TITLE | AIRED |
|---|---|
| Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic | 2012-2013 |
| Magi: The Kingdom of Magic | 2013-2014 |
| Magi: Sinbad no Bouken | 2016 |
You can’t go wrong with this watch order because it’s the release order. 😉
Magi Chronological Order
| ANIME TITLE | AIRED |
|---|---|
| Magi: Sinbad no Bouken | 2016 |
| Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic | 2012-2013 |
| Magi: The Kingdom of Magic | 2013-2014 |
The reason why you might want to consider the chronological watch order is that Magi: Sinbad no Bouken is a prequel to The Labyrinth of Magic & The Kingdom of Magic.
