| That was pretty unexpected |
  |
| Ok, but why tho, next to those nice OVA's we got. Stop milking my man Sinbad dry damn it. |
 |
| Okay, it's time to read Sinbad. |
| Wow surprising, but I look forward to it~ |
 |
| Sooo...it's an anime of something that already has come out in OVA form? Not that i'm complaining btw, i love me some Magi, but now the OVAs seem pretty redundant lol. Like, what was the point in them (besides advertising, i guess?) if it was going to come out in anime form. Either way, i'll be watching it though :3 |
| Holy fuck finally, something WORTHY to get hyped for. More Magi is always welcome. |
"Hi!" |
| How is the Magi anime anyway? Been curios for a awhile now. |
Ramkec said: Ok, but why tho, next to those nice OVA's we got. My guess is that they may revamp some of the OVAs, add original content, and adapt the rest of the chapters since the manga is still ongoing with over 70+ chapters. |
|
| Is A-1 doing it? I hate the animation in the OVAs Edit: Just checked on ANN. A-1 is not doing it, so I most likely won't be watching. |

| it is great, i was waiting for this for a long time, |
 |
| mehhhh I'll pass on this one I guess, gimme the Labyrinth s3 once the manga is done |
KuroYaksha said: Is A-1 doing it? I hate the animation in the OVAs What? OVAs look 9x better than whatever the hell that derpish art A-1 did. |
 |
| A-1 announced Nanatsu no Taizai "New Anime" (most likely a season 2) only after 6 months. But still no word on a Magi season 3? I guess it's because Magi doesn't sell how it used to. A-1 is all about money, after all. robis798 said: KuroYaksha said: Is A-1 doing it? I hate the animation in the OVAs What? OVAs look 9x better than whatever the hell that derpish art A-1 did. The art style is more consistent. But A-1's animation itself was much more pleasant to look at and less.... stiff |
| So an alternative version to the OVAs huh...that really kills the purpose of the OVAs, but then again those OVAs are just baits for people to get the manga I assume. Anyway, hope it's a nice expansion to the OVAs instead of some summary style to the OVAs. If A-1 is not doing it, then that means the art style and animation might be different. |

| And here I am waiting for Magi III. Still, I'll watch this. |

I guess it's because Magi doesn't sell how it used to. A-1 is all about money, after all. You expect them not to be about money?... No. I can't really blame them tbh. Taizai was a huge success for them. I just think it's pretty obvious that they aren't announcing a Magi season 3, since the manga sells has dropped recently and the poorly received 'Alma Toran' arc, which makes me upset. But whatever... I love Taizai and Magi equally, so at least they're giving one series I love some attention. |
| Magi sucked but Sinbad was cool. Maybe I will be watching this. |
 |
| Nice, I haven't watched the OVA's yet so it'll be all new for me. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| lol the prequel getting better treatment than the main series XD |
 |
| Finally, didn't even bother with the OVAs. Hopefully this will stir up a third season. (Lay-duce should take over Magi's anime too, A-1 can take a seat) |

robis798 said: KuroYaksha said: Is A-1 doing it? I hate the animation in the OVAs What? OVAs look 9x better than whatever the hell that derpish art A-1 did. This pretty much. A-1 is known for their quality art. Just look at Fairy Tail and the both Magi seasons. Some lulzy stuffs. xD Kinda disappointed that Magi is not getting a season 3 since that means no animated Arba/ (BEWARE NON-MANGA READERS CURRENT MANGA SPOILERS UP TO CHAPTER 282 TO MAGI BELOW) Even if it did mean suffering through A-1's shoddy animation I still wanted to see some stuffs from the main manga animated. *sigh* Still excited about this though the OVAs were so rushed so this gives them time to flesh out the scenes more. |

 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| YES! At least it's some Magi before season 3, and to be honest even tho I liked the OVAs, they skipped Sinbad's father story in the beginning and changed stuff, so I really hope this'll be a good adaption. Really hoping it's a good adaption.. It'll be a mess if they want to adapt all of it in 12 eps (tokyo ghoul stype "shudder") Roloko said: robis798 said: What?

I'm pretty sure we'll get a season 3. Just wait for it to reach 290-300 or something, since the first two seasons did adapt 100 chps each. I'm hoping they're taking their time to give us SAO level of animation :3 (Yes my rukh is white) Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| This is totally unnecessary Just give us Magi s3 already |
KuroYaksha said: A-1 announced Nanatsu no Taizai "New Anime" (most likely a season 2) only after 6 months. But still no word on a Magi season 3? Probably they are waiting for the manga to finish, I believe. They said that manga entered its final story arc. |

But A-1's animation itself was much more pleasant to look at and less.... stiff A-1 is 100% completely about money. That's how they decide what to adapt. If it gets popular they'll snatch up the rights to it, if its an anime original the staff has to be comprised of people that have delivered hits recently. |
| Just give me S3 damn it. I guess we won't have it now because A-1 is making Nanatsu S2 for 2016. I can always hope for 2017. The spin off is fine. I do not get they hype of it since I enjoy the main series more. Anyways, Drakon and Ja'far will make it for me. |
vikki7783 said: *still no magi season 3* I haven't even finished season 2 though but still I suppose it will come after the manga is finished, it is entering its last arc. Magi is one of the top 10 selling manga since 2012 according to wikia. They used 198 chapters to make 50 episodes. So, if my calculations are correct they currently have enough material to make 19-20 episodes if they start from the beginning. A 25 episode series would start in early April and finish in late September, they would probably have enough material then to make the whole 25 episodes. |
| Wow nice news, didn't expect it. But is it gonna be like the OVAs? Because those were pretty shitty. |
 |
| Gooooood news! I hope they'll announce Season 3 after this :D |

| I hope it isn't as poopy as the first couple episodes of MAGI ( that made me not want to continue the anime .... ) |
Xenocrisi said: HaXXspetten said: That was pretty unexpected I thought that there were OVAs, am I wrong? There is but from what I predict, they could be revamping some of the OVAs and adapt more from the manga as there are over 70+ chapters. Plus, they might likely add original content to expand the story. |
|
| Oh wow. Really unexpected but I'm not complaining. Just...hopefully it's not as rushed as the main series. |
    |
| OH YEAH :D planed to read the manga, but never mind that :P just wait for adaption. |
 |
| I watched the two seasons of Magi a few months ago and I was waiting until all of the OVAs were out to binge, but I guess I won't have to now. |
| Well this was quite a surprise. I've heard the OVA's skipped a part from the manga and only adapted Sinbad capturing two dungeons so I've put watching the OVA's for later. Now there's news it will get an anime adaptation!!!! I myself am really excited for this, I really enjoy the manga. Plus this will distract me for a bit while waiting for a Magi S3. Hopefully this adaptation won't disappoint. Peri_ said: This is great news since I liked the OVAs, but now I'm more interested about that "special airing of Magi" is mentioned in the article. Was it like an OVA? can anyone tell me more about it? :P I think the "special airing of Magi" was referring to the TV program that aired in Japan discussing about the Magi universe and the latest information regarding the franchise, according to this. I'm just guessing, I could be wrong. .-. |
| I AM EXCITED. I was a little disappointed with the OVA's, I still loved them but still. Definitely gonna watch this. |
| I'll be watching is Sinbad is love. Sinbad is life. Still need season 3 of the main series now. |
| mmh a 3rd season for the magi series would be better, but this is also nice. looking forward to it |
 |
| That was pretty unexpected... anyway i was waiting for it. |
 |
| This reminds me I have to catch up with Magi's manga. I just hope that the animation in this one is better than A-1's. Magi's was horrendous and I still can't forgive them for fucking the anime up. |
