why it's been a problem to make Maggie season three hey yeah you I'm sure you're curious to
know why Maggie isn't on a one-piece art where it has literally like a thousand episodes or
even Dragon Ball where they have 100 episodes per iteration of the series right after the release
of the second season we received 19 volumes that were made into five Sinbad spin-off episodes which
was then made into a full series most fans could assume from this that that's just the appetizer
to the main dish being a new season but that never happened this series is to give you all
the information I have available to provide you with a complete story about the pros and cons
to continuing the next season so if it ever does come back out you know how to best support it in
this series I try to best talk about what goes on behind your favorite anime series and if you like

sure to watch till the end of the video so you don't miss anything Aladdin is a young Maggie
has been sheltered for most of his life he's looking to explore the world so because of this
he's a little naive to the new world a magi is a magician who has an inclination towards magic that
is so intense that has the potential to shape the world and because of that they have significant
influence each Maga chooses a worthy candidate to become a king Magis are meant to supervise their
elected representatives as they build a country and shape the world Alibaba is the secret love
child of a peasant woman and a king and works towards his goal of earning enough money to start
exploring the dungeons while loading a card he finds the young Magi eating some watermelons and
we're soon told about the dungeons with it being a strange ruin that appeared a couple years ago if
a person is able to capture one they'll receive wealth and power Fit For A King storing a magic
vessel containing a gin it's almost like you're telling the audience that this is going to be a
tale of Rags to Riches the Underdog Story where you too can have Fame and Fortune and we think
we're gonna go on this Fantastical world but this can be misleading just because someone conquers a
dungeon doesn't automatically make them omnipotent or anything the power of the daijin is limited
did and even experienced dungeon captures can be defeated with this being of course where the magic
runs out every character still is human and just as we're getting our hopes up our characters get
a taste of this reality their world how everyone around them acts around the social statuses or
money and this is where they meet morgiana a slave girl who comes from a tribe of Warriors
but now has to serve Jamil equivalent to like a young Lord Aladdin is confused why everyone is
openly mistreating her with either Alibaba bowing his head or trying not to get involved the people
that violate the social status laws are sent to the Executioner so they're afraid so they don't
get involved Aladdin isn't able to accept this using a lot of his powers based on his emotions
from meeting the young Magi Alibaba goes against the audience but I'm able to teach morgiana how
to break her mental chains they're having a newfound goal of finding her Homeland the plot
is mostly about wars between Empires countries Aladdin learns that not all Magis have the same
goal making them potential enemies their episode plot structure sounds rather easy but is hard to
accomplish first a main lead would be left to a new location meet a new character that's given a
bit of development then they'll be tasked with fixing a problem from time to time one of the
new characters would die and the main lead would be forced to take away a new life lesson despite
there being three main leads as customary for shonen's I believe the characters do have a
particularly good job of showcasing their own unique personality they do form a traveling party
but everyone in there is voluntarily there and they have no problems departing from one another
on their own Journey which if anything mirrors the real world we're all main characters in our
own story and we might have friends but we don't have to depart from those friends to reach our
own destination this is hard to do an anime like ask yourself this Tale one piece gorillagan can
they focus on the would-be side characters and it still be good and the reason why Maggi is similar
to these animes is because they have multiple main leads the audience can find interesting to
advance the story enough with what it feels like an endless amount of Adventures that can go on the
settings are Lively which at times makes you just want to smile and dance around but can also go
into to more adult slash mature topics the other children stay away from like the fact that they're
all kids but they know there's a place in the city where they can go to where beautiful women will
surround them and will be willing to do anything as long as they have money or a title and how not
everyone has a grand title they have their own day job with Moe's just trying to just get by willing
to work any job no matter how demeaning that could be with other people having open prejudice against
other people Maggie has a unique interpretation of Arabian style season two of Magi ends on chapter
199 of the manga with this being the eighth Arc as far as remaining content they can add they have
three more arcs that have not been adapted yet the alma Tehran Arc the co-empire art final Arc but
I'm also not finishing the adventures of Sinbad so there's still enough content to adapt to say
a movie or two seasons streaming this isn't all be a new segment on these videos but it can no longer
be ignored now the information here is probably the most interesting but without a doubt is the
hardest to actually put a pin on hopefully this will be more clear in the future to make these
videos easier so take it with a grain of salt but also just want to point out this segment alone
could be its own video Magi license are streaming rights back in 2013 to MBS with this being their
native country of Japan madman entertainment which is based in Australia takaze which is in
the UK and anyplex of America which is in the name America obviously I'm going to be talking
about America anyplace then did a deal to give the streaming rights to Netflix and Crunchyroll
this honestly so far is the best deal possible you see the way licensing works for animes is
they're broken down into royalty based with an mg that being a minimum guaranteed or flat base with
upfront deals in general streaming services at the time like Crunchyroll and Funimation
you're still gonna be mentioned paid the minimum and offered royalties so animes could make their
money back over time briefly talk about this in my last video that being the trendy 7 video
that has a lot of information that I guess people just found a little boring so they didn't watch
it as much but there's a lot of information in that video but in that video I basically
explained that most animes make their money back years later like a seven year plan type of thing
for example while sites like Netflix plus Disney plus and I guess you could say Hulu paid a flat
rate year deal Maggie came out in 2012 and 2013. the first year it could be considered an A plus
priority given his early season placing and the amount of episodes it got but the second year
I would say the priority fell off a little bit with it being an A minus based on this I think
it's fair to say that they were paid 400 000 per episode in 2012 and probably around 250
000 per episode in 2013 altogether 16 million 250 000. now this seems like a lot of money but funny
enough this is usually used for the funding of the animation but for reference I think this
is just what Crunchyroll game later the anime was licensed to Netflix a different one with
them probably paying an upfront cost winning a package of Magi and Sinbad streaming the animes
worldwide so I wouldn't be surprised if they doubled with crunchwrote paid for the rights
so yeah I personally think the streaming deal for Maggie now is worth about 60 million but
made about 32 million five hundred thousand what makes this number probably a bit less is because
anyplex is the lead producer with MBS also on the board licensing the anime to themselves
then getting a long-term deal with Crunchyroll in an upfront bag with Netflix allegedly Blu-ray
I think I could also add a disclaimer for this section now as well if you are up to date in
the anime industry then you know it's changed a lot over the last years and I mean a lot really
ever since streaming became the preferred way that you watch your shows with Crunchyroll I mean Sony
as our new anime overlords with them deciding a lot of how the industry Market is going to
be run with streaming now moving up into the 80 billion territory as the end of 2022 even with
the streaming services in the red they're hoping to turn a profit years later here with each play
worth a fraction of a cent as a YouTuber you can already kind of understand these numbers
a bit better than most probably could and you can understand how long it took for creators
to actually be paid a good wage but streaming is the future with industry trying to push us
into a buying of digital copies instead of printed copies traditionally about 80 of the revenue came
from Blu-rays and DVDs but that number keeps going down over the years and is being pushed out which
isn't a bad thing it has some real positive sides to it the industry is finally doing what we've
been calling to do for years and be more diverse in their revenue now let's introduce production
companies or the bosses that own your favorite anime is maki serialized in 2009 in Chicago Coons
weekly showing in Sunday until 2017. during this they advertise the anime to sell manga
copies where there being six committees backing it who funny enough kept their stake in the second
season this is not common based on this I think it's fair to say that 80 Flex owns a majority of
the animation rights with a close second going to Chicago Coons production company which is a
subsidiary company of the hoto sabashi group who Hado shows like saki komisan called the night
and the all-time popular show in spy X family along with a radio and TV network there's also a
merchandising company that deals with the figures CDs and trading cards to be honest these companies
have a scary amazing track record picking the most successfully or critically acclaimed animes of all
time the first season of Magi sold 72 279 copies this number is higher than the average for sure
but they're not all-time numbers for Shonen so keep that in mind the second season sold 31 735
copies again for most seasonal animes this is an acceptable number and even for modern day numbers
very acceptable but with the genre and the big backing that was pushed for this Anime Plus The
Upfront cost needed to make it I can somewhat understand them not wanting to continue because
these numbers usually tend to just go down and then this happened Maggie Adventures of Sinbad
now this anime is actually really good and this show probably meant to to be the hype for a third
season but it sold an embarrassing number of copies being a thousand and seventy this steep
decline is quite hard to ignore like I said they are now multiple ways to make a profitable anime
but keep in mind this show came around in the 2010s where it's hard to do and wasn't really
seen as a good idea in the US also keep in mind the blues were 80 of the profit so understandably
the other committees put a pin on the idea of a season three other goods sold I feel the series
did all right for itself being better than the average titles with it having an anime manga video
games regular merchandising CDs and a stage play and yeah I know the idea of a stage play is kind
of weird for your favorite anime especially in the west like no one's going to a stage play but
as weird as it sounds anime is having a stage play goes back deep into their marketing schemes with
the earliest being in the 70s oftentimes the voice actors are Idols or actors so they seamlessly walk
right into the new role it's like for example if say Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time
had Ariana Grande as the voice act and then she acted in the stage play plays are more accessible
to the most die-hard fans who would go to them regardless of really what you're being given but
then usually having a low budget to produce and what them oftentimes doing well the anime has
great CD sales funny enough you can still buy a copy of the stage play on Blu-ray actually
I said too much about the stage play we'll come back to this later but speaking of Music the main
op of the anime from Sid's Outsider album sold 38 736 copies with the next appearing at number
418 spot and then selling at 423 settling 12 741 copies and then 12 568 copies with this being for
Eden and various songs with this being for season two four months after the series anime adaptation
was announced in June 2012 the print circulation of manga went from three main copies of the first
12 volumes to 6.5 million copies of the first 14 volume with it increasing to over 18 million
copies in May 2015 then to 25 million copies by April that same year I say all that to say it's
crazy to think that they have had a video game series that no one's ever heard of and just did
poorly they had four in total two of them being on 3DS the first being titled after the anime's
name with attacking the first season with it later being removed from Nintendo's eShop Within magy's
A Whole New World talking about season two as for the two mobile games they're not even more
from memory there was a card game and then there was an RPG game it would be an understatement to
say that the franchise dropped the ball here but I'm trying to use Japan's most popular console to
further push their fantasy into the households of Japan they were hoping that Nintendo's audience
would give them a long-term future with a video game but that just simply didn't pan out being
costly with them obviously missing on the vastly large and accessible audience of mobile which this
is another callback to my Trinity Seven where I basically go over how much mobile games can
actually make for anime with it being big enough to be the main driving force of your Revenue it's
easy for me to say this in hindsight but this could have been the easiest and most profitable
Avenue for modern animes that they could have discovered but that didn't happen and there are
four games that they did make are forgettable and if anything thing put them in a bigger deficit
light novels flash printed works this is based where I just go over how much they made with
the printed work like we already know Maggie had 37 volumes of the manga selling over 25 million
copies and if you just want to go with easy math you put each copywork at ten dollars given this
I think it's fair to say that they've made 300 million dollars from the manga sales now this is
just me doing the most basic of calculations of how many copies they sold average price of the
books I mean come on granted I will say this is on the high end as always because I'm not counting
distributions and how many other people you have to pay along the way now for the adventures of
Sinbad which is honestly more debatable in terms of how much they actually sold but there being
less information available with this purely being calculated by me and not in some other official
Source but given this I think they sold three million 461 867 copies making around a little
over 38 million geez and when I'm doing this calculation this calculation also is really only
based on Japan mainly because I didn't feel like doing the NPR stuff uh if you if you don't know
let's go back to 27. granted this number is only me cow calculating Japan's numbers that they gave
not going off of the United States Summers for example or you can call me Lisa but I'm not going
through every method possible to be fair Sinbad did outperform some of the later chapters of Magi
making it understandable why they wanted to Pivot to Sinbad to restore up some hype to get a third
season in Monkey that's why it's hard to really fault them with Sinbad now let's talk about the
author what does she feel about this series it's kind of hard sometimes to even get something like
this from the author but it definitely hits home a little bit more when you do the other gave a
goodbye article wishing more kids would just watch more Shonen and not grow out of the genre what
I took from this is people in the Shonen genre buy a lot at the start throughout their life and
then they leave becoming adults yes but leaving to watch other anime genres with this usually
being how a lot of young boys get into anime only coming back for the big and best showings that are
there like one piece Naruto Dragon Ball making it harder to keep an eye into over years and
hindsight against say maybe she should have kept going with the manga series and then eventually
10 years later you know look at what you created but it's hard to really dispute someone as close
to the work as the author so overall it's a four out of five formula follows a lot of what other
showings had at the time but in an Arabian fantasy world instead of the traditional anime formula of
Japan the world felt alive and for the most part right but it also had dark elements and deeper
storytelling where we could understand the world through Aladdin's eyes as the audience
I guess what you could say is it had less than seller numbers than made some sense in ways to
not keep continuing this isn't about if the anime was good I think everyone would agree that yeah it
was but they can also say that maybe there wasn't a reason to keep continuing the Animated Series I
would assume andiplex owns the rise of the anime the manga already finished so the Publishers don't
have an incentive to keep advertising it with chrisonia I mean any place I mean Crunchyroll
having a Stranglehold on anime I can't really see it coming back unless Crunchyroll feels threatened
with this coming from the anime exclusivity deals so it's hopeless well that's what I was going to
say but something might have had me change my mind remember how I mentioned the stage plays
the plays just didn't start back in 2014 or 2017 but in 2020 yes Maggie was green lit to have a
more low budget musical in 2022 and it seems to be opening with positive perception with Crunchyroll
doing a small but still promotion for it I would assume this was made to serve Japanese interests
for a globally profitable anime I don't think it's just some throwaway news like when have you known
a Japanese anime company to do something out of the kindness of their hearts yeah not very often
and still I can point to cases where this wasn't exactly anything significant like full metal going
live action Death Note having multiple live action iterations same for xxholic my little monster and
this very well could just be a throwaway cash rap but like we said there's more content they could
adapt learned in a different age of anime like for example Devil is a part-timer got a season 2 this
year like Masami nokun Revenge got a season 2 with it coming out later on isaka AI smartphone got
another season so it's not unreasonable to think that they wouldn't get another season I think the
show had a crazy amount of things going for itself but it simply failed to be a tier one Shonen with
some of the other people it was mentioned with which isn't the worst thing seeing how close it
got to tapping into its true potential but as far as like fans could actually do to best get another
season I would say there's like three steps step one would be to watch Orient what is Orient with
this being the author's second favorite child if you go to the comments section of that show right
now people are going to be talking about Maggie still with them hoping that she's going to be
greenlit to make another season of Maggie even how unlikely it is this could still happen Orion
could be the fire force to Soul Eater where the author might be inspired to make more correlations
between the two shows to keep it going even if it doesn't work out we get a very good story out
of it step two streaming more of Maggie streaming is one of the ways companies make a profit after
several years of it being in the red but it's sort of like being if enough people kept streaming
the series repeat the higher up some control to contact other people they'll see that the anime is
trending with a story like being if the show went number one on the Twitter's trending page I can't
exactly prove this but I kind of seen it happen and I'm just going off of what my gut is telling
me lastly step three buy more copies of magi's manga series and with this I would probably be
saying like the re-releases of the manga not old copy with this method probably being the one I
least suggested of anyone do you see both Annie Plex and Chicago don't really have a reason to
promote the series if we look at anyplex they have ton of Big Time anime series that is streaming
right now currently that are going crazy and Chicago has already finished the manga series and
they've already sold millions of copies the only reason I even mentioned this as a potential step
is because the creator of DxD even though he sold millions of copies is having to tell again people
to go buy the new releases of their manga copies that is the only reason I would be mentioning
this step for this anime I hope you guys have enjoyed the video make sure you leave me a like
