Magi(マギ):
The Labyrinth of Magic And The kingdom of magic

wikipedia setiing said:

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 (ルフ?) and when they die, this essence returns to the huge flow (also known as "guidance") 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" (堕転 Daten?).

There are also several magic castles full of treasures and traps known as "Dungeons" and each of them is the lair of a powerful magic being, a Djinn (ジン?). Individuals that manage to overcome the trials of a Dungeon and earn the allegiance of its Djinn are known as Dungeon Capturers (迷宮攻略者 Danjon Kōryakusha?), gaining the ability to use its powers infused in a personal item of them known as "Metal Vessel" and create less potent "Household Vessels" for their companions as well.

People can use the Rukh in their bodies to create an energy known as Magoi (マゴイ?) to power their magical weapons and abilities. This energy must be used with care, as despite an individual's magoi can be restored with feeding and rest, once fully exhausted it provokes their death. Among those that can perform magic with their own Magoi there is a rare class of magicians known as Magi (マギ?), that can also use Magoi from the Rukh around them, greatly increasing their capabilities. A Magi usually chooses Dungeon Capturers to offer guidance and protection making of them their King Candidates (王の器Ō no Utsuwa?). There are several nations in history that were founded or improved by the rule of such individuals.

plot from the magi wiki said:

Aladdin, the primary protagonist, is traveling a desert land, with a magic flute that summons a Djinn namedUgo. The Djinn has a huge and muscular body, but cannot remove his head from the flute, giving him a headless appearance and frequently causing even people he is trying to rescue to mistake him for a monster. The two meet Alibaba Saluja, a seemingly greedy and aloof young man who is trying to get rich, and realizes that Ugo would be a powerful ally to explore a nearby treasure-filled dungeon.

ok, this anime is amazing, the animation is flawless, the values it teaches are indispensable, it's one of the only anime (Reborn! included) that Makes me laugh out loud hysterically, the story advances at a perfect pace, not too fast (Deadman wonderland, Danagn Ronpa: The animation) or too slow (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece), it's perfect, the character development is great, the animation is flawless, the music (Ops,EDs, OSTs and character songs) is extremely well made, the fights are great and the dub is good, but I'm use to the Jap voices, but I plan to rewatch it dubbed once I finish it, because it also has great Rewatch value, It's almost safe to say this is my #1 favorite anime (out of the multiple dozen's I've seen), It is a story that pulls you in and the sentimental-ness makes you actually cry if your not prepared, and it's happy, sometimes it gives you a warm fuzzy delightful feeling of adventure and friendship which is what the show is all about.
If you have not seen this yet, Do so.

Recently caught up with this title's manga, its got my attention enough that I'm now reading on a weekly basis.
Though I must say, the ending to the latest chapter made me ask wtf...

Honestly have loved this series for a while I just saw this thread, it's really amazing but the anime caught up with the manga pretty quickly. they won't be able to make another season for maybe another year or two now because of that. same with the first season they sort of miss big chunks of sideline plot that could have been added to extend the seasons but it's whatever I guess still a good anime.
