A short look at Shaman King by Hiroyuki Takei.
Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece; each of these managed to turn the typical shōnen formula into a worldwide phenomenon. What about Shaman King? With the new anime coming out next year, it's time to see if it's worth picking up the original manga once again.
We're staying spoiler free so don't worry about that. Spoiler discussion will be out soon, talking about how the main character (Yoh) forms the emotional core and the heart of the series.

EDIT: So I've subsequently gone through the ending in more detail and I definitely undersell it here. The ending isn't bad but I do have some problems with it that bring it down for me. Please don't let that scare you off from enjoying a really good series. If you're interested you can check out the ending in more detail: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7R7epafmavGnHU.html But ah.. spoilers obviously Cheer, cheer.

I haven’t gotten to the manga ending but I would never put down a series just about the ending Most anime’s don’t have the best endings so I’m fine! Shaman king is a rollercoaster with ups and downs! I recommend it for anyone ready for a change to shonen norms :)

I personally love the ending. Won't spoil but it's such a twist compared to the typical shounen archetype.

I think its difficult for shaman king to have that one explosive memorable shounen moment because... Yoh is chill. And he influenced his friends how to be chill. The main antagonist-Hao- is also very chill 😆 But i love this series too... its the phylosophy... the simple truths in the story. It talks of karma... of consequences... the simple truths of finding happiness. Of the world being bigger than who you are. That no matter how strong you are... doesnt mean what you wish for will happen just like that. And that its ok. Its ok to fail and to accept that sometimes... conviction and strenghth of will and power of friendship isnt enough. Urgh i love this anime too much. 😆

That is a great point! Can't really have these explosive moments with Yoh keeps de-escalating things so well. Also a great take on Shaman King. This is why this series is so good! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I'm so excited for the Osorezan episodes coming out now

At what episode is it now?? Shaman king on netflix is still on ep13 in my country... i need to watch it somewhere else😑 but because of it i've gone down the rabbit hole of the manga again. Its an experience... Watching the 2001 anime when i was in high school ( or gradeschool?!😳) Reading it when i was in college And now reading and rewatching it again in my 30s😆 i suddenly realized how much of my personal beliefs came from the anime i watched as a kid. This one and gensomaden saiyuki😂

It's about the second episode into Osorezan at the moment, so basically halfway through. I feel you though, I've had to find some "alternative" ways to watch. I haven't heard of that other series, would you recommend it? If it's like Shaman King it sounds like it'd be up my alley

No. Shaman King is a monster on its own... If you are willing to get into some philosophical questioning while reading. Nothing too core-of-the-earth deep, but it isn't shallow either.

I have to disagree, I can't think of any shonen with a better ending than KZB. I'll admit the final battle is hard to spatially contextualize, but I thought the subversion of the classic "friendship is strong enough to murder god" theme for the sake of a much more down to earth and meaningful moral was inspired.
@SeaGee
@SeaGee 3 жыл бұрын
I'm also really glad it took a different spin on the "power of friendship" trope, especially considering how the original anime ended. I think I'm just hard to please when it comes to endings. Can totally see why people really enjoy it but for me it didn't land like I wanted

I've been kind of flip-flopping between really enjoying it and being pretty underwhelmed. I'm not a huge anime guy to begin with but as a big fan of the series it's just great to see it in animation. Personally I'd always say the manga is better and is absolutely worth checking out. Some great Yoh panels

Thanks man and cool edits! I like part one more than part two, I think the shots changing matches the beat better. For feedback I'd say give the videos a few seconds intro and outro, even something like a 1-2 second fade to black. Just to give it some breathing space. But good work, keep it up !

Hao is wonderful but unfortunately, he is the only character that I truly love in the series because he CARRIES the series. Without him, this series is...mediocre. I like Shaman power system and story progression for the first 200 chapters but then it went downhill afterward. Ren transforms into the soft, compassionate "hero" and is no longer the intimidating rival to main character. MC+ his rival Ren just kinda FADED AWAY their spotlight STOLEN by Horohoro, Joco, Jeanne, Anna, and of course Hao. I swear the MC+ rival Ren were fcking pathetic by the end of the series. They strayed from their initially established path of becoming Shaman King(both stated their ambition SEVERAL TIMES: BEFORE SHAMAN FIGHT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY DURRINGGG SHAMAN FIGHT). But by the end of the series, not only did they not become Shaman King but NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE SHAMAN KING LEVEL.What is a Shaman King? The STRONGEST SHAMAN. I kinda predicted that Hao may actually take the Shaman King title due to how much love he got from fans+author. But even if that's the case, I expected both Ren+Yoh's power level to be close to him AT LEAST before merging with Great Spirit:1.2 million mana. I expected BOTH OF THEM TO INDIVIDUALLY CROSS THE 1 MILLION MANA MILESTONE. But NO! It's not even CLOSE! at the end Yoh, Ren both individually only have Mana level a little above 100,000. DISAPPOINTING! That's not even the worst thing. There are nearly 10 SUPPORT CHARACTERS whose individual mana surpasses Ren's and Yoh's. SUPPORT CHARACTERS! Horohoro: 120,000(same as Joco less important got beaten by main and should have stayed that way as a supporting character; Joco: 200,000(joined main's team late supposed to be much less important yet took too much spotlight); Anna: 600,000(Main got DUNKED ON by his own wife OMG); Jeanne: 680,000; Sati: 750,000; Fcking Golem: 550,000. The main and his rival: 2 MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTERS IN THE ENTIRE SERIES got IGNORED almost no power-up at the end while support characters surpass them by leaps and bounds. Imagine Naruto and Sasuke weaker then Lee and Neji: that's how I feel during the last 80 chaps of Shaman King.

But maybe that's because im from a country where there are not that manny black people and there was never any racism of that kind :/ so i may be wrong
