The manga was a fucking gem but no one can denied the anime butchered the source material

Also who was your favourite character in Shaman King /a/? Mine was either Marco or Peyote Diaz

>tfw Mappa wants to remake it
>tfw they already did a great job with Ushio to Tora

>>155610647

Did they adapt the full Ushio to Tora manga? Or just parts of it?

>President of anime studio MAPPA, Masao Maruyama, has shown interested in making a new Shaman King anime! Its just a sentence, but it gives a glimmer of hope: '... I really want to work on the "nekketsu" genre, that’s the older things. It’s more thicker art style, more X style things. It depends on whether I can obtain the license to adapt into animation. For example, I want to work on Shaman King, I want to work on Rurouni Kenshin again, adapt it into new style, but it depends on whether the publisher or the actual artist says yes.' - Masao Maruyama, Otakon 2015.

I really gotta get around to rereading this.

Shaman King got me feeling really emotional for the characters around Orosezan revoir. That's really hard to do. I really like Yoh as a protagonist, he's so laid back it's almost the opposite of any other shonen protagonist.

>>155616283
Too bad she's fucking dead

>>155609852
Seriously, it has to be like one of the handful of shows where I preferred English OP.

tfw she turns out being weak as fuck

>>155609852
The english OP is so sick. Why didn't retarded japs make it the official opening for the series?

Should I watch the english dub with this show or watch it in Japanese? Genuine question since the dub seemed pretty good from what I remember and that OP is pretty good

>>155609852
The manga was much better
The anime ending is one of of the worst anime original endings I've ever seen too
Anime had a lot of badass vocal songs though

Wish it would get a proper remake while using the old voice cast and the old music

>>155610704
They skipped a lot of parts
They did like 39 episodes when the manga was 300 chapters

>>155611027
Takei said recently that he was offered an anime remake project but he declined it because he couldn't use the original voice cast and the original music(for fuck sake why are these things always an issue?)

>>155619158
>(for fuck sake why are these things always an issue?)

Because Japan.

man mankin has a lot of emotional moments
like for example faust's backstory or that moment where yoh tells manta to fuck off in the hospital for example

can't forget when anna and yoh sleep together and the next day when they're off to america

>>155609852
Anime and Manga were really good. Too bad Flowers was such a disappointment. I guess Shaman King was Takei's one shot wonder because nothing after his stuff made it into anime

>>155618994

Grab it from bakabt

4kids version is horrible besides the epic intro
They changed Hao to Zeke and Horohoro to Trey Racer...nuff said
So only watch it for a laugh

Also recommend reading the manga(read it in Batoto since it's the most complete version online) if you haven't which is much better

>>155619485
>because nothing after his stuff made it into anime
Yahabe got a sort of shitty cg adaptation
The rest of his stuff isn't really popular enough

Butsu Zone had potential but was cut short
I'm liking Nekogahara so far(you can get it from Madokami btw or just read it on mangaseeonline.us)

Most mangaka's are one-hit wonders tho

>>155619358
Honestly licensing a bunch of fucking music can't be that fucking expensive can it?
If anything I think the problem is the cheap studios

Probably not
After Takei rejected an offer recently I'm pessimistic about it ever getting another chance again

>Megumi Hayashibara voice Anna and a bunch of other characters
>She did both openings and 2 out of 3 ending themes
>she also did the insert song Brave Heart and some other shit
She had such a huge role in this anime
I'm still convinced this anime was made to promote her singing career

>anime

The manga was great. The anime was garbage. The sequel, Shaman King Flowers is a new tier of garbage though. The author deserves to be gangraped by 500 hobos for making it.

>>155610497
Faust or Jeanne. They were both a lot of fun.

Yeah, I'm pissed at Jeanne dying such a bullshit death.

>>155620244
The anime wasn't that bad
Yeah compared to the manga it sucks donkey dicks and it doesn't do it justice but it's fun for what it is

We don't talk about Flowers

>>155620323
We don't even know how Jeanne died we just know that bitch Black Maiden apparently did it

We know how Yoh and Anna died though and I will never ever not be butthurt about it and for as long as I live I'm not going to accept Flowers as canon

What hurts more is that Flowers fucking did well in Japan. Fucking nips and their shit-taste as usual

Oh well at least Nekogahara is cool

manga's ending was ok though

>Shaman King and RuroKen reboot in the near future
JAPAN YES

>>155622378
Oro?

>>155622378
dream on
will never happen

The author turned down an essential Shaman King Brotherhood because it wouldn't have the old VA's but it could be possible a couple years from now. That being said I don't think it was the perfect anime but it was pretty enjoyable, even though it never adapted all of the manga which is eh because the final arc was pretty questionable.

>>155622378
>remaking RuroKen
>not continuing Busou Renkin

>>155622564
The final arc was canceled so no wonder it wasn't as great as it could have been
15 extra chapters in the Kanzenban was never enough

I doubt it will get a remake though after he rejected that chance
2018 would have been perfect since it's ManKin's 20th anniversary and Takei said he's looking to continue Flowers that year(much to my dismay) so it would have been awesome if an anime remake started airing that year

>>155622794
Sometimes I wonder why editors don't work with a more reliable company, Shonen Jump ruins everything it touches, minus HxH or One Piece to an extent.

>>155623122
>minus HxH or One Piece to an extent.

give it time, neither are even close to their final arcs

>>155623122
That's why Takei switched to Kodansha and is doing Nekogahara for their magazine(which btw if you haven't read it yet get it from madokami or read it in mangaseeonline.us...it's pretty fun so far and imo his best manga since mankin)

HxH is in its final arc. There will never be another one.

>>155623122

Do you mean authors? Either way, what are you even asking? Why anyone in the industry would ever work with the best-selling magazine?

>>155625724
>HxH is in its final arc.
it will never be finished
togashi will die before that

>>155616283
I was hype for her appearance but was disappointed at her level compare to otherrs. .

>>155610497
You know, I like the anime ending even as inferior as it is.

>>155628068
Maiden was one of the most powerful characters in OG mankin so I have no idea what you're talking about

>>155629034
I don't know how anyone can like that ending
It's pure cringe
The part where the team fights Hao is cool and all but the part where Giant Amidamaru beats him is just way too corny to be taken seriously

And the whole Hao getting the GS by force is just fucking retarded

Maybe if it was a corny series
But Shaman King is epic and that ending was underwhelming as all hell

>>155629224
The anime is as bad as the manga is good.

>>155629224
Why does this series always pop up in mankin threads?

>>155629288
this thread is literally the first time I've seen anyone call this "mankin" and it's fucking annoying.

>>155622378
>Rurouni Kenshin reboot
Just finish the anime and remove all that filler shit. Pull a Dragon Ball Kai.

>>155629349
mankin is a nickname for shaman king
it comes from sha"mankin"g
only oldfags know it(and japan but that goes without saying)

>>155631631
Come on anon, I'm not retarded. That much is obvious. And it's still retarded, you're speaking English.

>>155622573
>wanting more gay exploding autist butterfly

>>155632022
We're talking about a jap manga
Mankin is a term invented by the jap fanbase(heck it's even acknowledged by Takei himself and even official sites like for example http://jumpx.jp/w/mankin/)

Anyways, it's a cute nickname/abbreviation you're just being autistic

fighting your way back out of hell will do that

>>155633805
Everytime they die they must face a test on their personal hell that makes their spirit more powerful.
By the end of the manga the tests get skipped because it was rushed but that's the reason.

>>155621084
The Faust fight caught me offguard because I think Shaman King was the first shonen I ever read where MC got wrecked hard like that.

>>155634615
No
Just dying and getting revived increases your Furyoku(hence why Jeanne was keeping herself at a near-death state for long stretches of time and how Yoh got a power boost in Yomi Cave by imitating death)
Training in hell just amplifies that

But all of this is ok within the context of this series and was established early on anyways

>>155637106
>Hao is so stupidly above them that even hell can't get them to catch up
Nope
Yoh stated he could have gotten more powerful than him if he wanted to but that he didn't do that because then he wouldn't be able to live an easy simple life(and he didn't wanna repeat Matamune's mistakes)

Heck Yohken even said that destroying Hao's soul was an option but Yoh clearly wanted to save him

>>155637341
why is Yoh such a bro?

>>155637341
Yep. You are completely off.

>>155621408


>Hao trash everybody, then Hao's mum appears, bitch slap him and make it return everything to normal.

Only shallow shonenfags who are also speedreadingfags like you don't get it

It wasn't just his mom either it was fucking everyone(hell before his mom even showed up he closed the Black Hole to save Ohachiyo) and nothing really returned to normal...he's still the shaman king and he just gave them a chance to fix everything

>>155639715
I liked the subversion

>1000 year evil fights a bunch of kids
>evil wins anyway because the fucker is obviously too strong

it's like the manga read the cliche threads

>>155639829

>> it was fucking everyone

he was about to fuck eferyone with his god powers, his mum was the one who stop everything.

Was trash deal with it

>>155609852
Bleach was basically a rip off of the opening

>>155639715
Why though? The manga said since his introduction that he was going to win and no amount of bullshit was going to make them overcome his force.
The outcome was predictable and foreshadowed since the beginning, the only chance for this to have a happy ending without a major asspull would be for him to change his mind about humanity, and since his mother is the person he cares the most in the world, it's kinda natural she'd be the one to stop him.

>>155610647
>already did a great job with Ushio to Tora
s2 was so boring I dropped it.

>>155640047
>he was about to fuck eferyone with his god powers
No he wasn't
The fact that he closed the black hole to protect Oyachiyo says it all

Stick to Naruto and Bleach please
Shaman King is too complicated for you

>>155640047
>>155640950

now if only we could meme this popularity into the outside world

God bless Takei and his shota fetish.

>>155609852

Wewlad

The ending was pretty mehhh tier but overall it's one of the best shonen manga in history. Sadly Shonen Jump had to rush the ending but nonetheless.

>>155643980
Would you watch Shaman King now? No, because you're not as easily impressed as you were in your formative years.
