Shaman King

Incredible! I was shock when I see the Shaman King trailer on the screen!! Old Shaman king was the legend! I wish they should have put on the original opening song and the spirit form transformation soundtrack! Opening song was the legend!!! Maybe they will put it in the second season, please!!!

It has been nearly 20 years. Still got me excited! But the songs and the character developments.. please try to keep the anime's spirit! I completely agree with the dumitrachedragosmihael' comment and the other comments that people rated under 5 stars. I should have rated as 4-5; however, for the sake of Shaman King I rated 7.

One people said s/he do not get why the peaple rate the anime after one episode.. The reason is that this kind of animes are legend and it already proved itself. In the 2021 version 1 episode covers 2-3 episodes of old one.. You know what I mean, too quick and it kills the the story line and the character developments.

Especially for me the the opening song of the anime is a characteristic for the animes. Also the spirit form transformation song is unfortunaly too bad.. It is really sad I was really excited.. When you recreate such kind of anime I suggest that you stay loyal old one as much as possible.

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.

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

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.

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.
