Shaman King

The old series i watched as a kid was a lot better in my opinion.

They are ruining good episodes because they're continuing to put 2 episodes in 1 and with this are skipping important information about the characters which makes the character building pretty bad. Maybe the ones to blame here are netflix for giving budget for too little episodes.

Having been a fan of shaman king since I was young I was sceptical of the reboot.

I remember watching the original on Fox Kids/Jetix and feeling robbed there wasn't another season. Fast forward many years I saw the trailer and instantly got excited.

Four episodes and in and the premise is the same but there are some different tweaks, but that's what you expect. It is done well and provides an action packed anime!

It's a copy of the original but it makes it more relevant and with a little hope this will bring a new fan base and promote some new material.

The anime series Shaman King is an adaptation of the manga of the same name, which was previously adapted as an anime in 2001. It pits shamans against each other in a contest held every 500 years to determine the next shaman king.

I had hoped that there would already be some comments here that could explain why I found "Shaman King" so boring, because the anime actually has nice animations and also a more or less interesting story, but something bothered me and I was slowly starting to think that has withdrawn interest in this anime.

Back when I saw it there were only 38 episodes and I really have no interest in watching anymore.

The reviews here speak for themselves, which calms me down because it shows me that my gut feeling wasn't wrong.

I haven't seen the original either.

It's like power rangers..

"fancy" non lethal fights with lethal weapons and power moves with senseless power levels, heart warming ignorant drama, dry humour and zero consequences.. plus poor lazy character development...

it's not bad, but the high ratings are senseless.
