Manga

They've remade it and are following closer to the manga. So kinda gave it the FMA: Brotherhood treatment.

This anime is only 19 years old compared to. Saint seiya Pokemon Yugioh Gundam And beyblade This is it's second adapation.

But that one looks different than the old Shaman King series that we know.

x2

I feel the same way

Fairy tail animation was always bad

ah... that explains why the fight seems mediocre, at least they dont use that natsu's ugly ass texture effect for the flames

@@noname768397 I thought that was Satelight

@@00yurifan wasn’t fairy tail a1 pictures lmao and the final season had decent animation

OHHOHOOO shaman king Has Always been a Jojo-Reference since 2001 (Sorry if ya can't understand my grams there)

Star platinum is stronger

@@Otomazeman youruuyy

Stands hahahahaa I hope you're kidding.

@@alexnikols8025 Just wait til end of series. Shaman King kinda puts Jojo to shame tbh.

ThunderBird 1989, Yeah, I'll agree with you. I really wanted watch Shaman King (2021) on Netflix so badly too.

It’s on Netflix now

@@CrownRoyalz1, yeah, thank you. I’ll check it on Netflix on Sep. 1st.

@@BrandonSmith-ik7lu It’s alright

@@Zero-rq9ti, nah, it’s cool.

It's always been Golden Chinese Slash Dance (Chuuka Zanmai) I think you just had a bad fan sub.

I agree. The dub gave that move such a cooler name

You're right, i was literally in love with him when I was like 10😭😭😭

Me too

ME TOOO

Is called vorpal sword

It’s called Vorpal Dance. Great song

@@camiloiribarren1450 thanks a lot!!

I mean it’s only season 1 lol

Yeah it's the one thing I'm a bit dissapointed by. Kinda feels they're saving the budget for the later parts, I hope at least. At least the lightning effects are nice and the characters are as great as ever

i wonder what made them decide to do a remake

@@letmebedatguy2637 Hell I've been wondering for years why it suddenly stopped airing on CN and non cable networks in the US all those years ago.

@@letmebedatguy2637 they remake it because this anime back in the day wasn't finished, there's still a continuation

@@letmebedatguy2637 he asked if people wanted it and everyone said "YES" on twitter. Originally he turned down an offer due to being denied the original OST of the other adaptation + not letting the other actors along with his wife to return

@@zeraiyahbenisrael4010 manga wasn't finished when show was airing, that's why manga and anime had a really diffrent endings.

See the episode, he does that

@@sirirond1990 yeah you are right but there is a Image missing where he jumps after ren instead they switched directly to the point where amidamaru block the attack from bason

I think this is just not the full fight

I doubt it and I’m frankly hoping that it’s a new cast.

Then why bother to remake it in the first place if its done so poorly? I will give you the answer : because you can sell and market this series just based on its nostalgia value. The production know they can do this as cheaply and badly as possible, and fans would still flock to it because "nostalgia feelsgoodman". No need to sugarcoat it. Shit is shit. I love the series, but i really cant justify this remake.

@@steventok1471 It's not like it's the animator's fault. It's hard to make anything good when you're not given the time or the money to do so. Again, surplus of projects to work on and not enough time or money to do good work on all of them is going to lead to poor results. It's the producers and the studios that should be blamed. Give your animators plenty of money, and plenty of time to do their work, then you won't have to worry about an unfinished mess being turned in for the broadcast that needs to be finished up for the DVD release as the series is still being broadcast. We've seen potential in the first few fights. If all the fights could look as good as those, we would only be complaining about the rushed story which, as with the first half of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga, was already adequately covered in it's first anime. I think we should hold our judgement until this new anime reaches the half of the story that the previous one didn't adapt. If the story is still rushed, and the animation is still crap by the time the series reaches that point, THEN we can say with confidence that no one cared.

You're right on everything besides "low budget" lol. Im pretty sure the costing is the same for any other anime out right now, it's just..like you said, animators not having enough time and dealing with a tight schedule.

Blah blah dumb excuses

This is the same studio that worked on Fairy Tail's slideshow. Aside from Fairy Tail, they have no notable anime. What does that tell you? Don't get your hopes up on the animation improving

A remastered

Technically both, as they are planning to remaster the episodes released + to continue, as the original anime didn't finish where the manga finished. I am personally Very disappointed with this remaster... The story is extremely rushed and they are even showing flashbacks from things that have happened in the original but haven't in the remaster (like the flashback with the spirit cave, that did happen in the original anime and here, they just showed some stupid flashback like we wouldn't notice). It's atrociously bad.. the animation is worse than the original Shaman King and the character designs are extremely weird and out of proportion (They made Ren look ridiculously tiny on his horse and Trey's proportions are way off wtf...) It fell from an amazingly promising anime and story, to a Yu-Gi-Oh commercial crap kind of level... My personal recommendation is that you skip these episodes entirely and consider the original Shaman King as the canon and you can pick this one up once it continues after the fight with Hao.

@@acvaticlifE Kinda feel you on the animators not continuing from the Hao fight. Although I hate that they started from scratch, Im just hoping the "rushed" content hopefully catches up fas.

Shaman King Brotherhood

The old version is faithful to the manga for the first half then it diverges. This is a remaster via latest generation art work, animation and it's following the manga completely until the end. It's good so far but old anime was way more impactful, soundtracks, angles, details and so on. 2021 version will start to become important when we get to the new stuff.

She's also Hange from AOT

@@jeninadinampo3141 yeah. Temari voice

@Sugar-Free Iced Tea actually they are getting better VA's for the eng dub than the sub, I'm actually quite excited!

@@malicumalicious Yeah I will 100% rewatch it all with English dub. English dub version is what really made this show iconic around the world. Honestly original anime is better and it's faithful for the first half, at least we are completely finishing with what we already know in this quarter. The new stuff will begin starting from episode 14.

@@malicumalicious Alot of the JP Va's of the shaman king 2021 anime are the original VA's that voiced in the 2001 anime. The creator of shaman king made it a condition that the original VA'S reprise their roles in the event a new shaman king anime was made.

It’s not a 13 season or 24 episode anime that’s why it’s gonna air for a whole year so that have to cut it

@@pacifix455 your answer is pathetic and nothing at all

Amidamaru is now Amidaryu.....

@@yamidji u have to kidding with me right?

@@yamidji No that's the style of his techniques (Amidaryu = "Amida style"). Amidamaru is still Amidamaru

They changed it to fit the original manga colours probably.

Classic:Filler Manga Colors:Original You shit

Ture

Really need all those old soundtrack in this 2021 version Brave heart, Hao theme, etc

Episode 9 of Shaman King 2021

@@NorthernWind_Vlll oh okeoke

He drinks three cups of milk a day 😆😆

Cry about it

That means you need your eyes checked.

Sameee. It feels more powerful and pure.

Originally he was orange, manga was first :p

@@maciejrejowski4682 still not gonna budge. 😂 I like it white and i'll stick to it. Even if it was originally orange.

I hope they only doing so fast with the plot to have the ending better done, back in the day show caught up to the manga and they had to make their own ending, the manga finished way later. That's why they even make this remake, because the endings were so diffrent.

@@maciejrejowski4682 Yeah, and I think the reason why they made the story fast is because there are some countries that aired shaman king countless times, but I don't think it's a good idea tho, especially when they barely have strong competitors rn.

@@bryanaustria6402 Yeah, they know who will watch this anime since they put first opening in Silva's test episode. Unfourtnetly new people who watch this belong to the community that didn't watch original show so they review see this as it is, meh.

downsize? this are the official proportions according to takeis new style....

@@sirirond1990 ohh okay, maybe its just different from what I remember hahaha mb

No, they are completely different

At least some of the original dub cast is coming back.

Yellow is the new way Takei paints him

Naa

No. Amidaru orange supremacyyy

Nah, you're praising the original way too much. Seems that you've never read the original source, the manga. You'd see there that a lot of parts of the old anime are filler. Like the first two episodes even contain filler stuff. They dragged out a lot of the parts of the story, even up to the first 15, they have a lot of filler moments . It's actually not that great, even tho some of the filler moments are memorable and fun. The Lily 5 never existed in the manga, so a huge chunk of "traveling to America" arc is filler. The ending arc is almost entirely filler and contains little to no cannon. While this new adaptation is making the manga 1:1 or leaving out little parts or chunks of the story, or quickly going over more od the story elements, but it's way more truthful to the manga, it's adapting the story with no filler, just cannon. But it still, of course has flaws, the pacing is too quick, it's kinda bland in that sence, but it has an amazing sountrack, beautiful color pallette used, great VA's and... Well the animation can be better, that's for sure, but they've done justice to it in the places where they could do it. Like this Ren fight, the first Ren fight, the first episode, Hao's awakening, some small parts of Lee Pyron fight, episode 4 with Tokageroh was pretty well, with not a lot of epic animations, but consistently okay, episode 5 has few good scenes, episode 6 and 7 held some decent animated moments and episode 8 as a toned down episode still held up pretty well with the animation. So, all things considered, neither the old anime, neither the new one are awesome, but they have their great moments. The old anime had a more talented animation team, but I feel like this rant went off for a longer time then it should have. So nothing, have a good day.

Do you own the dvds of the old show? i cant find them

@@Sonicfalcon16 i don't think anyone is selling them these days, so if you actually want to watch the old anime, pirated websites such as 9anime and go go anime are great.

the original anime is trash tbh, too much fillers and hao got turned into a mostache twirling generic villain, go read the manga and see why the character design changed from the og anime, take changed his style drastically when he returned with kanzenban, also is being rushed so they get to the new stuff quicker, also I agree on the animation not being as good as the original but its getting better, hopefully it will be way better later. But yeah so far I, as a manga reader of sk, am loving the show so far, some things to complain but not as much as with the original. Im currently watching the original, this one, and re reading the manga, and so far, aside from the manga, this is a good telling of the story, no fillers, straight to the point and to the good stuff. And if you have read the manga, you know that there are so many opportunities for the characters to interact once they reach the island. I cant wait for it honestly and for people to go like they did with black clover and love it at the end.

You know the original isn’t the canon story? That was all filler lol this remake is literally the manga animated with the og story

No. Original better

MANGA SUPREMACYYYYYY. TV FOX CENSURED

@@feike6363 there’s less fights in the manga. I felt ripped off reading thought it. The spirit are pointless because they use the sacred spirits. That’s lame. A lot of things were never explained. They tied up a angle spirt, and was wiping it. Still don’t know why. Some characters were pointless waist of time. Yoh fought a guy with the spirt of his boxing couch. That character never comes up again. Why was he in the story. I could go on. Manga was shit.
