Shaman king is a very good shonen anime that takes inspiration from Jojos bizarre adventure. Even though it was dubbed by 4kids back in 2003 it was a very dark series. I remember watching the anime and reading the manga when I was 10 years old and being fascinated with the shows spiritual and religious concepts along with being mildly disturbed by one of the villains. Not just a kids show if you like JoJo or yuyu hakusho or any other super natural shonen give this a watch also don't watch the dub the only thing good about that was the opening.

Shaman king is awesome but yoh needs more spirits and I think he should always use amidamaru's sword I think the series needs to be more like pokemon.

I love anime.My favorite anime shows are Inuyasha,Rave Master and of course Shaman King.What I love about this anime is the storyline,the animation and the characters.

Storyline:Shaman King is about a 14-year-old shaman boy named Yoh who lives in a world where people and spirits can see and communicate with each other.He also makes friends with a boy named Morty who can see ghosts as well even if he's not a shaman.Yoh even finds a guardian ghost named Amidamaru,a great Japanease samurai who died at the age of 24.Being Yoh's new guardian ghost,Amidamaru travels with Yoh to fight other shamans and eventually,become the shaman king.Yoh even has help from his bossy,tough and rather terrifying fiancé and trainer,Ana who also happens to be a Spirit Medium who can summon and communicate with the dead with a necklace of beads no matter where in the world she is.As Yoh prepares for the shaman tournament (the biggest fight to determine the Shaman King),he makes some unexpected friends along the way and discovers the power he holds as a shaman.

Animation:The animation of this show is the best.The parts when the shamans use spirit unity or furioku are well sketched out which is why I love those parts.The expressions on the characters are priceless especially when the characters are depressed or angry and there's a shadow drawn over their eyes which viewers just can't help wondering about what will happen.The way the characters are drawn is also fantastic.Most of the wacky hair styles on the characters are good ways of remembering who's who because anyone who watches Shaman King could never forget such well drawn yet strange hair of each character.

Characters:Yoh just happens to be my favorite character on the show because of his easy-going,trusting and relaxed personality and how he can see the good in everyone even in most of his enemies.Ana's ways of torturing Yoh yet improving him are hilarious.It's really nice to see an anime girl with a whole lot of backbone and an appearance showing almost no fear.When she wasn't fighting with Yoh when he was up against a Dao-shi (someone who controls zombies with talisman),I was a bit disappointed in her but after she explained to Morty why she wasn't fighting was because she had faith in Yoh,it made me happy she was my favorite female on the show.Morty's interesting.I'd like to know and see more of his family but other than that,I like him because he's extremely loyal to his friends.Rio's awesome.At first,I thought he was going to be a freak but I saw he was funny and also helpful to Yoh.I also like how he defends Yoh's honor if someone insults Yoh.Len at first seemed like a psychopath who just wanted to destroy but after Yoh invited Len to his house,I saw Len was a decent character and liked how he became a friend of Yoh's.Trey's hilarious and I also like his dedication to nature.Lyserg at first was an okay character but after he joined the X-Laws (fighters for good but fight with no mercy)I hated him ever since and he left just because Yoh was defending someone who was evil from the X-Laws.The X-Laws are just annoying because they hide behind their fancy guns and whatnot and just blast people who they think are evil.All around,there really isn't a character I hate on this show.Altogether,I rate this show an 8/10.

hi, i just want to leave a comment ^_^, I was just wondering if shaman king episode 64 is the last... because I took a lot of my time watching this anime and then me and my friends were waiting for the moment between Anna and Yoh, but if episode 64 is the last, I'm really disappointed because it left a lot of questions, and then when i saw the manga written by takei, there seems to be an exciting part of Anna and Yoh having Hana Asakura, but takei wrote 200+ chapters and its really far from the incomplete anime. But you know I still enjoy Shaman king fights and many of the parts are funny... ^_^ but the thing is it is not fair for us people to not know what will happen and of course we will be all glad to watch it. Please I really need you to complete this anime. thanks! goodluck!

there is something very special about this cartoon indeed. that is no true shaman history at all....and I guess that is not about shamans basically. So! For those who considers he(she) can find it useful in study of a shamanism - not the right place. But for those who wanna see a very kind anime - you are on board. I have heard that kids really do accept everything from the cartoon as the pure and undeniable truth about the world of shamans.....but shamans predominantly do not get together in groups and they do not make competitions......anyway - as I said the most important thing in this cartoon is a friendship, love and backing up theme. Destiny and fight against evil at all costs - these are the basic aspects of this wonderful anime - surprising is the fact that this is anime that could be rated for kids of any age.

i started watching this show a few years ago, and it was my daily morning fix. I really thought the idea of bringing a load of cool characters, new and old together was an excellent idea. I also quite liked voice-acting & plots, as it brings back the olden days (2003-2005)and introduces them to young children. I also thought that the characters were quite good, and the creators of this show (whoever they are) added some really interesting traits to the classic characters eg. Morty becoming a helper like Toad (Mario Game Series), and Anna & other females, Tammy & Millie becoming Shaman Queen was really good. Another thing was that they added some new characters, eg Rio who was an annoying version of the main character (Yo or whatever it's spelled)! The side stories were also rather well thought out. So, to conclude a very good and interesting series!

This one is the best version! When you compared with 2021 version you will see that character developments, storyline, soundtrack are thousand times better in this version. No need to say much.

Good series that begins with a boy who sees ghosts and ends with clashes between demigods to decree the fate of the world. I'm sorry that the series didn't have a real ending but was cut off towards the end but luckily the manga exists.

I hope no one here is judging it by the English version... they completely changed it, removing all Japanese references, changing the character's names, and making it for little kids. Certain character's names stayed to same, such as Yoh Asakura, Amidamaru, and Anna, but many of them changed. Manta Oyamada became Morty Manta. Ryu became Rio. Lien Tao, who is Chinese, became Lenny... who is British. Horohoro became Trey. An entire storyline got cut from the English version... a storyline that explains how Yoh gets his sword. In the English version he just kind of has it suddenly, and Rio suddenly has a spirit ally. All Japanese writing, even on signs in the distant background, were either changed to English or whited out. Thankfully, 4Kids has released an uncut version on DVD, though they kept the English names.

I just got Shaman King: A Boy Who Dances With Ghosts on DVD from my best friend as a Chistmas gift today, and it's pretty different from the TV series. It doesn't have any of the same quotes as posted on this website, and they don't use Americanisms either. It's simple, plain English. The sword is called Harusame instead of the Sword of Light. On the box it says English Dub is available as well, but I cannot find it. It still gets the same message across, but it's...different. Could somebody help me out? I would appreciate it a lot.

Anyways, it was AWESOME!! I'm watching it as we speak. I haven't seen any blood yet, except in a brief scene in Episode 3: Tao Len. And Lenny's Rapide Tempo Assault is called "Slash Dance." I recommend it for any hardcore Shaman King fan!

Yoh is a Shaman, he moves to Tokyo, because of the unusually high number of Ghosts. while hanging out in the Cemetary one night he meets fellow 7th grader Morty, Morty is special because, as with Yoh he can see ghosts, but unlike Yoh, Morty fears them. Yoh is looking for a spirit partner and finds one in the 600 year old Samurai spirit Amidamaru. By fusing with Amidamaru, Yoh Uses his powers to fight evil spirits and evil Shaman's all the while training for the chance to be crowned "Shaman King"

This show is pretty interesting but I have seen a few episodes and they were cool. But I didn't like Yu-Gi-Oh but at least the creators of it came up with something a little better but still no contest. I think Yoh is really cool! I like his style and his cool relaxed attitude! This show sort of reminds me of Medabots almost except this is ghosts instead of robots. But on the other side the spirits and the action on the show is pretty cool and all. But my other most favorite shows for the Fox Box is probably Sonic X along with Kirby: Right Back At Ya! and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Shaman King follows the adventures of a 13-year-old shaman and his teammate a samurai warrior spirit, who traverse the world fighting evil spirits and misguided shamans on their journey to be the next Shaman King. I now think the show is pretty good I just needed to see more of the show in order to get the idea of it.

User Rating: 7/10

BOTTOM LINE: NOT BAD AT FIRST BUT BETTER AFTER!

On 'Shaman King', they call Manta Oyamada 'Morty'. They call Tao Ren 'Lenny'. They call Bokuto no Ryu 'Rio'. They call Sha-Wen 'Shaolin', and Lee Bailong 'Lee Pairong'. They pronounce Tao Jun and Bason wrong. Who made this? Whoever did obviously didn't read the manga.

The only episode I watched beginning to end was the one where Yoh, Sha-Wen (Shaolin), and Amidamaru fought Lee Bailong. I didn't have a big problem with this part, but it wasn't as funny as in the manga: Manta (Morty) runs away from the battle to find a sword for Amidamaru. He finds a wooden sword, a bokuto, but gets stopped by a gang, and Ryu (Rio) saves him.

This is what should've happened: Manta still runs around, and still finds a bokuto, but the owner is Ryu, who's followed by his own gang. After consulting his conscience and his shoulder-demon, he begs for the sword, and gets hit by Spaceshot and Apache, Ryu's near-deaf stooges. He gets a bloody nose, and asks again. They hit him again. Looking even more beat-up, Manta pleads with them one final time. Ryu smashes him into a wall, and Manta lays seemingly dead. Ryu and his gang walk away, but the nose-bloodied, scratched, and bruised Manta leaps up with his heavy dictionary and whacks Ryu. Convinced Manta is a zombie, the stooges and Ryu run off, leaving Manta with the bokuto.

That was long. Anyway, these guys gotta make the anime more like the manga.

I absolutely, positively LOVE Shaman King. I am devoted fan. But I absolutely LOATHE the Dubbed version. The voices are horrible (Ren, Jun(They are not British, people) Anna...) The dubbed names are atrocious. (How the heck did Hao go to Zeke? Be reasonable at least keep it close...maybe Howie? And Lenny? I understand Len but not Lenny. And Trey Racer...what the heck? ). The plot remains fairly intact but because of the X-laws you know they are cutting out a lot of stuff. Yoh does not want to become a rock star...he wants an easy life.

Yet this comes from the fact I watched the original Japanese version before they dubbed it. I actually own the entire series. Even the manga is edited but they keep the plot very close to the original and the jokes(Some I do understand why...)

Rating Dubbed: 3/10 (I give 4kids some credit but very...very little because the ruin many animes) Subbed: 10/10

This series airs in America on the Foxbot but unfortunately doesn't compare to the original uncut version that aired in Japan. Shaman King is about a 13-year old boy named Yoh Asakura who can control a 600-year old spirit named Amidamaru who helps him in fighting over shamans and spirits. It's still a good kids on show foxbox but anyone over the age of 8 will cringe at the voices and jokes. It's not hard to find import dvd's of the it so anyone into fighting anime like DBZ should give this a shot.

The story is absoulotely fabulous,the animation is so outstanding I can hardly beleive it,and,the music is great.It has great special effects,the Shaman Fights are OUTSTANDING and everything.I give it a 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999/10
