Personal Ratings: 3.5

This is more like the 2nd arc to magi, than a 2nd season. More characters comes in, and the story is more developed into the the true purpose of this whole anime. The story gets nicer from here, as there are more action scenes, and more interesting story line. More truths are also revealed. (Especially more about the Magi's, though the next season will seriously concentrate a lot on the history of Magi.)

Though I think this story fluctuates a lot. Some times it can be really nice, but some times it can be a little dry; filled with facts and talking only.  

They really stick with the manga, though the progress it faster. However, like Kuroko no Basuke, I find that some parts, they just follow the anime, without trying to use animation to their advantage to add more impact into the anime. But that only happened to some parts, so it doesn't really feel like the story lack any impact. 

Art Ratings: 3.5
