Once again when we get to the US arc you should be able to see new things and enjoy. If you are an old anime fan only dont get surprised early you gonna feel like they just cut everything but remember old anime added a lot of original. Although if you expect something darker like Jujutsu this really isn't dark its very light but gets a bit more philosophical later on.įinally overall, i recommend it even if early it makes it feel a bit too shonen cliché sometimes (it's a bit like that early in the manga but with the extra panels and everything it does change the perception of it and makes a bit better) overall if you are new and want to get into the story it works. It is one of the first paranormal shonen so people can easily make some parallels with newer one. Some part are getting a bit more well animated but its not MAPPA or UFOTABLE for sure so sadly we cant really expect the best animation of the year but we can hope for an improvement. Still could maybe be slightly better but its getting on a real decent normal anime pacing. Now i wanna say since episode 8 and onward the pacing is WAAAYYYYY better. Now the anime so far is really mid-tier sadly the animation is often stiff so it makes weird and because its so condensed it does feel rushed by moments. just trying to say how it is) we have Horohoro backstory, Joco/Chocolove arc and important fights, Jeanne secret, how Anna and Yoh met AND the real ending was great but the epilogue MADE it great for real. In the manga we see great things that happens (i know old anime couldn't put it coz catching up manga etc. To me it misses on how the character were develop in the manga in the og adaptation they lost their core i find. I re watched recently and yeah i mean early is more developed but im so use to manga that it doesn't bother me too much character development are made later in the books. So i understand why people can complain to it. i feel people have a lot of nostalgia towards it.
Now, i think people are overpraising the old anime it wasn't bad but not amazing either. The new anime seems to be more and adaptation on what the old anime never had a chance to do. Now, sure some stuff were cut still but really minor stuff. Now back on the new adaptation haha (sorry this is a roller coaster) is more manga accurate on how stuff happen. The old anime added a lot even in what the manga cannon stuff was (some good and bad not not really to go much more in depth regarding the add-up) and the latest part was just anime original. The US arc(trying to not spoil or less possible for new fans). Now for old anime, it had 64 episodes and the story started to diverge from manga in
I watched old anime then got into the manga and became my fav manga of all time. Studio (we can see in MAL but still) is Bridge which isn't super renown already, so those are few important info it will come back later on. To begin with general info the manga as 300 chapters and it will be adapted in 52 episode confirmed so it's a lot to cover for the manga. Here's my thought and review SO far, but before here's some info i want people to know. You befriends Manta due to his ability to see spirits, and with the help of Amidamaru, they set out to accomplish You's goal of becoming the next Shaman King. Later, the boy introduces himself as You Asakura, a Shaman-in-training, and demonstrates his powers by teaming up with the ghost of six-hundred-year-old samurai Amidamaru to save Manta from a group of thugs. Noticing him, a lone boy sitting on a gravestone invites Manta to stargaze with "them." Realizing that "them" refers to the boy and his ghostly friends, Manta flees the terror. This title allows the current incumbent to call upon the Great Spirit and shape the world as they see fit.įinding himself late for class one night, Manta Oyamada, an ordinary middle school student, decides to take a shortcut through the local cemetery. The Shaman Fight-a prestigious tournament pitting shamans from all over the world against each other-is held every five hundred years, where the winner is crowned Shaman King. Shamans are extraordinary individuals with the ability to communicate with ghosts, spirits, and gods, which are invisible to ordinary people.
