My review:
The story starts with a blue-hair boy named Aladdin demanding to know what he is, but the djinn, called Ugo, can’t say the answer. Instead, he offers Aladdin the chance to grant him a wish. Later on, Aladdin meets Alibaba; a young servant who is trying to get rich; while eating all the watermelons Alibaba was supposed to take care of. At Alibaba’s house he explains to Aladdin that fourteen years ago strange magical structures called Dungeons started to appear around the world; and that the person who clears the dungeon can gain wealth and power such as: gold, jewelry and magical items- just what Alibaba needs. But, he also mentions that the best items are the metal djinn vessels. At the streets they see a girl with an enormous basket of fruits, and to make things worst she has chains in her feet, a symbol of being a slave. She notices they are looking at her feet and while trying to hide them she stumbles onto the ground. Aladdin doesn’t like the way Alibaba’s master treats her and decides to call for a short time Ugo to scare them. Afterwards, an accidents occurs in the desert while trying to deliver wine and they see again the powers of Aladdin: his enormous djinn Ugo and his magic turban that transforms into a magic carpet- he can fly! After seeing this Alibaba sees him as someone who could help him complete the dungeon and they decide to become friends along with the girl Morgiana. After some adventures they decide to part ways for training and in doing so they will encounter many risks, experiences and gain knowledge by working hard. But will this help them when a dark, secret organization attacks them?
My thoughts:
The first thing I liked about this anime was the setting. As a person of the Caribbean it made me happy to see an environment that I can identify with: the heat, the jungle/forests, caves, the ocean and much more. My favorite characters are: Aladdin, Ugo and Titus. The story is fantastic with many things to learn from such as not giving up, friendship and how to defeat your past and move on. My favorite part was when the three of them were training (season two) especially Aladdin as it was a school of magic and where he met Titus. The plot is really good and I can’t wait to know more about Aladdin and Sinbad’s past and about the secret organization. Also, you will noticed how much Aladdin has changed over the course of the story, growing more mature and determined as well Alibaba. Alibaba’s task will be, in my opinion, far more difficult for him for two reasons: his past and that he can’t summon his djinn! Will he be able to do so? Find out!...
