Trivia / Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic

• All-Star Cast: While the main character is voiced by a rather new actress (in both languages), you can't say the same of his best buddies. Several roles are voiced by famous actors, but just Sinbad and his mates have an all star cast to themselves. Not that the dub is slouching in this department either.
• Dueling Shows: Between fellow A-1 series Chousoku Henkei Gyrozetter and From the New World.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Aladdin was originally supposed to be a girl.
  • In early designs, Alibaba was supposed to be a gladiator, with a quieter and inexpressive behaviour. Ohtaka discarded the idea because, according to her, she's better creating more expressive characters. This ideas, however, got her into creating Masrur.
  • Ohtaka once said that Spartos was originally supposed to be a woman.
  • Hakuryuu was supposed to be the older brother and Hakuei the younger sister, Ohtaka mentions that the story would've been quite different.
  • Ohtaka also originally thought of making Drakon and the similarly draconic Shou En (one of Kouen's household members) brothers.
  • Marga originally was going to be older and Titus' love interest.
  • In the English dub, Faye Mata auditioned for Morgiana, but the role was given to Cristina Vee instead. Faye Mata would instead play Tiare.
  • Word of God wanted to draw Yunan as a middle-aged man, but she was requested to draw him as a delicate man. That's why she tried to draw him with the feel of a tired widower.
  • Myron was originally planned to be male until it was scrapped off because her early designs make her look like a prettier looking Ka Koubun.
  • The Fanalis were originally going to be dark-skinned and resemble Sub-Saharan Africans as they are hunting tribes that live in the fantasy counterpart of the African savannah. However, the fact that they aren't technically human - having superior physical abilities which has led to their enslavement and shipped across the world presented potential racist vibes, so it was decided against.
