Magi: The Labyrinth/Kingdom of Magic, The story is set in an alternate recreation of the ancient Old World with several regions and nations having some resemblances with real-life counterparts from that time. In this world, all living beings possess an essence known as Rukh and when they die, this essence returns to the huge flow of Rukh that gives life to all subsequent beings in an eternal cycle of rebirth called "Fate". Once a person is overcome with sadness, anger and hopelessness, their Rukh turns into a corrupted, unstable, black-colored Rukh that deviates from the main guidance in a process known as "Fall into Depravity".
Labyrinth of Magic: After being secluded for his entire life, a boy called Aladdin travels the world until he meets Alibaba Saluja, a young man aiming to one day explore the nearby dungeon Amon and claim its treasures. Aladdin and Alibaba eventually become friends, and conquer Amon together, despite facing the opposition of the ruthless Jamil and his slave warriors, with only Alibaba, Aladdin and Morgiana, the only survivor of Jamil's party, escaping with their lives. After having their own adventures in separate locations, Aladdin and Morgiana end up reuniting with Alibaba in Balbadd where they learn that he has joined the Fog Troupe, a cadre of thieves opposing the tyrannical rule of King Abhmad, Alibaba's half-brother. Helped by Aladdin, Morgiana and Sinbad, a famous king of the island country of Sindria, Alibaba manages to have the monarchy dissolved and establishes a republic in Balbadd. Following the events in Balbadd, Aladdin, Alibaba and Morgiana are brought to Sindria, where they train under members of Sinbad's household to increase their abilities and help him with his mission to stop the mysterious organization Al Thamen that works in the shadows to spread chaos throughout the world as part of an unknown agenda. The trio ends up befriending Hakuryuu Ren, a prince of the Kou Empire visiting Sindria and whom they help to conquer the dungeon Zagan. After confronting some members of Al Thamen, Aladdin and his friends go separate ways for personal reasons, promising to rejoin together in the future.

SPOILER ALERT OVER!
Now, after that ridiculously long summary of both season one and two of the main series lets get to what this post is really about. The main series has a spinoff manga titled, Magi: Adventures of Sinbad which follows one of the main series side characters Sinbad of Sindria as a young man journeying to conquer his first dungeon and gain his first Djinn, is now to be produced into an anime adaptation produced by studio Lay-duce and scheduled to be released with the manga's third volume on May 16, 2014. It is also confirmed that Daisuke Ono will return to voice main character Sinbad, among other reprisals.
I'm excited to see this OVA of the main series and hope that it has much success so that it may convince the author Shinobu Ohtaka to keep writing more for the manga and keep it alive for the fans, but only if she can do so without succumbing to fan service and predictable story lines. Below you can watch a very short PV of whats to come in Japanese only though, but it does show some art from the manga and how it will look for the OVA enjoy!
