In the manga there were a few magic circles, but usually only for really strong spells like Abyss Break or Etherion, which makes them more awesome if you ask me.

If every tiny and useles spell has a magic circle down to Macao grabbing a mug of beer with a hand made out of fire or an Exceed activating their wings it just loses impact.
