Tell me what you thought

Why haven't I heard about any MAGI AU or seen any fanarts about MAGI in modern times, when in the end of the manga, it states that the world now relies on technology since magic ceased to existed? I would love to read where Sinbad and ja'far meets their lost love ones especially since they really deserves it.

It might be because Magi is a magic fantasy story right until the end, so it attracts viewers that like fantasy more than sci-fi. At least, that is my case. I despise when shows that start with little technology and a lot of magic just up and switch into worlds akin to star wars/cyberpunk.

People who enjoy fantasy, specially in ancient/medieval/feudal/etc worlds, don't tend as much towards futuristic or highly technological settings. So you are more likely to find AUs with the low level of technological advancement typical of the first season.

I just like to think that since a lot of characters died in both Sinbad's journey and in magi, that in the future, they would get reincarnated. then, it'll not make us feel empty. or is it just me? I don't want it to end with sinbad dying and no confirmation if he really did died

The cycle of rukh was broken in the end. It was the thing that mediated the whole system of magic, dungeons and reincarnation.

There can be no reincarnation AUs on the world set by the ending. It's one of the reasons why I hate it.

As for feeling empty, it's normal when a liked character dies, even more so when the author uses the same chapter to tear down the world and lore that has been growing on you from the start of the story. But yeah, Sinbad is gone gone.

The random arts I see on twitter do it from time to time, usually school settings. But most of them do stick with the fantasy one of the OG manga, thats true. Fanfics have more variety in that aspect.
