Shaman King

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and also a more or less interesting story, but something bothered me and I was slowly starting to think that has withdrawn interest in this anime.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.

Need more episodes to make a complete review, but the 13 on the Netflix (17/08/2021) are really good.

I'll admit the first 13 episodes were rather rocky but when it got to episode 14 and higher the pacing and animation gotten better. I'm glad shaman king has gotten a re adaptation, following closely to the manga and given a new spin on the cast and crew. Some of the negative reviews are warranted while others are not. I've noticed a lot are based on blind nostalgia and poor arguments.

It's not bad, but a bit disappointing. What I especially dislike is that they changed the theme song from the epic original one to another forgettable anime song you skip through.

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