Aniplex Japan has set the home video release plans for Magi: Adventure of Sinbad and it’s certainly a little different than the norm for them but in a really good way. The distributor has set a single box set release for it that also includes the five episodes of OADs that were produced for the manga. The TV series is spread across three discs and the OADs on a fourth and final disc. Scheduled for an August 24th, 2016 release, the DVD is priced at 27,000 yen while the Blu-ray is priced at 30,000 yen.
Extras for the set include the promos and commercials.
The TV series provided continuity what we’ve seen with the manga bundled anime episodes where it was directed by Yoshikazu Miyao based on scripts by Taku Kishimoto. It was animated at Lay-duce with Souichirou Sako handling the character designs.
The cast includes Daisuke Ono as Sinbad, Akira Ishida as Yunan, Tomokazu Sugita as Drakon, Ai Kayano as Serendine, Katsuyki Konishi as Badr, Yoko Hikasa as Esra, Keiji Fujiawara as Hinahoho, Takahiro Sakurai as Jafar, Ayumi Fujimura as Pipirika, Takehito Koyasu as Barbarossa and Hiroki Touchi as Baal.
PENGUIN RESEARCH performed the opening song called Spotlight while the ending song was performed by Fujifabric with the song Polaris.
Plot concept: The series takes place thirty years before the main Magi series and focuses on the young Sinbad as he goes on his journey’s that leads to him becoming king.

That’s nice. Hopefully the AoA release mirrors it.
