Just a conformation...
Does まじかよう mean "seriously?"
Also, am I spelling it right? I hear it in anime a lot.

Could you possibly be mis-hearing マジカル (magical)? I can't think of anything else close to what you wrote. Can you give a link to a video clip if that's not it?
まじ is a shortened form of 真面目（まじめ）used in slang. When you want to ask if something is for real or like you said seriously you add か to the end making it まじか？ I have never heard anything about using the よう.- まじ is a shortened form of 真面目（まじめ）used in slang.

It isn't よう, but it just よ as in ですよ, used for further emphasis. Very slangy expressions meaning something like "What? Seriously?! or more literally 'Are you serious?"
Thank you both. I just resently heard it in the first episode of the second season of owari no seraph. I've also heard it many other times. I was just interested. Thanks again.- Oh, kimbo, that makes sense.
- Thanks to both shirokitsuneさん and Kimboさん. My listening comprehension skills are not good. I didn't think of the possibility of "ka" being the particle at all, and I didn't know about the short form "maji" even if I had thought of that possibility. (恥)
But I think its kansai Ben....not sure
This is the phrase young people often use.
まじかよ？ まじかよ〜。まじかよー。 are correct.
You use this with some emotions, question, disappointment, surprise.
Some may use まじかよぅ。まじかよぉ。I don't use them though.
I've always heard it as "マジで?" But I don't understand what the で means?
まじかよ is commonly used. Yes it can mean "seriously?" or "seriously..."- jc89 san it's a good question, I looked it up on a dictionary
but I can't answer it exactly. hmm.
本当に？ (really?) ー＞本当（にそんなことが起こったの）ですか？
マジで？（seriously?) ->マジで（そんなことが起こったの）すか？
I can guess this.
Additional
マジっすか？ マジですか？ is used by young people for older people.
They are not polite phrases(They are slang), but they sounds polite.
I've heard it mostly used with teens. よ is usually added to add emphasis and it's mostly used by guys (but can be used by girls to). Some slang doesn't necessarily have a right spelling because it's not a dictionary real word. Like すごい has the slang version of being pronounced スゲ〜。But if you wrote that anywhere very few people would understand~~~- お、浅草ですね。LizE san. スゲェ〜。笑 I prefer this すげー。
すげぇ〜。is OK.
