Disagree on your opinion of the Anna/yoh arc. Those four episodes really built the atmosphere and time between Anna and yoh and made the payoff to that arc feel earned. Yoh clears Anna’s heart and that was felt because of the time spent on them at the inn, & in town. My favorite of this version is the golem arc & joccos trip to hell because of the ending of this arc. Joccos conversation with yoh at the end of the arc felt powerful because again, the time was spent on joco’s regret of his past, the ramifications of his actions through the golem arc, & finally his self repentance & how he wanted to make up for that. That conversation slowed the pace down and felt earned. It sucks that the ending of this series wasn’t given that time, the invasion of the plant arc was rhe worst simply because how fast everything happened, well either that or the intro arc for the same reasons.
Is it really that bad for people? Jeeeeez I just finished it like an hour ago. And honestly, it's not that bad visuals are really great the character designs of every character looks really nice as for the fights I'm particularly happy with it why? That's Because it made me feel like I was watching early 2000s shounen that I grew up and love (I did watch the old shaman king btw) I think they did good on this reboot. I'm excited for the sequel!
When people don't have proper arguments to make they often play the animation card. I also would argue most of the "ze community" is pretty hanged upon visuals being superb all the time.
The rushed pace of the ending is the exact same in the manga. There were loads of off-screen and half-baked fights by the end and the series sprinted to its end. Unless the anime wanted to add filler, which would've made little sense given its breakneck pacing, there was no avoiding falling into the same pitfalls of the late Shaman King series. It's a pretty well known and accepted fact that the series rushed off the cliff by the end to where the author needed to rewrite much of the ending half during the re-release of the manga volumes
@@SugiShogun They rushed through the early parts but the entire fourth quarter of the series is rushed in the original version. Some characters didn't get resolution to their character arcs and some of them faced their rivals off-panel with the results of their fights being told to the readers. By the very end of the series, Shonen Jump basically told Takei to basically pack his sh*t up and go and the series went panic-mode trying to wrap itself up, similarly to Bleach. It wasn't until the rerelease that the series got anything even closely resembling a resolution. The anime remake was poorly paced and there was absolutely no way they could've adapted the series into just 52 episodes. However, if they adapted the series as is, the second half of the series would've become unwatchable as by that point Takei was hit with burnout and fatigue with the series whereas by the end the frantic pacing of the series would've demanded filler to be made to make sense and for proper pacing to be maintained, which would've been silly given how the early episodes were rushed through and missed out on canon and important information. Shaman King is difficult to adapt in that way. Though if the series maintained a proper and faithful pacing in the first half, followed the remake's pacing in the 2nd, then adapted the manga rerelease for the ending, even Shaman King's case could've been salvageable in around 80-100 episodes.
The sequel anime has potential to be great. Hopefully it'll be seasonal, because there are 4 arcs to be adapted. Red Crimson, Flowers, Marcos and SuperStar. Red Crimson and Flowers can be fully adapted, while Marcos is ending soon and then there's Superstar which is ongoing. And it's looking pretty solid now.
That was my problem with the 2021 the animation at times were a bit bad since they needed to save animation budget for must later scenes but this show should have longer to fit more into it but flowers it can’t be messed but its 29 I’m sure they can fit like 50 episodes or a bit less
I think it could have just started from when the entry to the tournament begins. Part skippers are annoyingly common in modern series, I think mainstream audiences wouldn't mind if they skipped the introduction episodes then had small flashbacks to the events later. I think this is the first time I saw something and wanted filler. The manga has an insane amount of canon off-screen events and prequel stuff, you could probably stretch Shaman King into a 100 episode anime of a similar quality to this version. It got me to read the manga which is the point of these kinds of anime but is that a good thing? Should we look at it as an art piece or an advertisement? This is getting into conspiracy territory but they might have just rushed this out as safely and efficiently as possible to generate an audience for the sequel.
More episodes = Bigger budget. There isn't single anime outside of Dragon Ball Super recently that has made through +52 ep mark. Industry works different than it did in past.
I question if this guy watched every episode. The emotion core of the Patch fights worked very well and was definitely more important than the fights themselves. I'd argue that the while point of the story is to ignore the fighting in the second half of the story anyway since win or lose you'll die eventually. The Yoh and Masamune backstory is the most important part of the story. Period. You missed the whole point of the show if you don't understand why.
They should have begun the remake right when they landed in America, lol I felt the Osore's sequence did more than just add up to Yoh-Anna's lovestory, ideally the whole remake should've had this pacing I didn't really like this version's OST, but didn't think it was terrible either... However, I do think sometimes the OST doesn't really help building up those comedy moments or help them land as much as the 2001's OST did, this is sort of the same feeling when it comes to more intimate/emotional moments, but maybe it's just me
You can't do that for obvious reasons, ur introducing the anime for new generation after such a massive time gap. Plus it doesnt make sense given that all VA's have changed.
I remember first watching it on 4kids and liking it but never getting to the conclusion to the show Might have to check this out, Shaman King always had my interest
Surprised you didn’t wait til May 26th because parts the anime won’t coming out due it not being finished in English but glad your back I thought this channel was dead
Netflix is releasing remaining eps in 26th? Yeah i don't want dubs. Ive been working on so many things and ive been also watching in a bad way where i'm not finishing up many reviews. But i start allocating more time now.
In my opinion I think the rebooted Shanman King have less episode than the OG series because the 2001 had lot of fillers while 2022 doesn't. It's the same thing with Full Metal Alchemist. One was not that faithful to the manga and have a lot of episodes while Brotherhood was more faithful to the manga but had less episodes then its predecessor. So I really don't see the problem in having less episodes when all rebooted anime have less than the first series!!!
@@SugiShogun Not really they was pretty faithful to the manga except the ending. I read the Manga first before watching the series and they didn't really do their own thing. Just a little bit of new things here and there but it didn't completely stray.
@@SugiShogun wdym fmab had a decent ending, plus Shaman King 2021 is good sure it has some flaws like any other show but it does well. Better than whatever shit Jjk and Csm are cooking😊 Killing off good characters is such a good writing isn't it.😊
As a years long Shaman King fan I was pretty disappointed by this adaptation. Which sucks because hearing about Shaman King getting a remake a few years back made me leap out of my chair in excitement. Maybe I set my expectations too high but I was hoping for a lot more. Something like Hunter X Hunter 2011 but for Shaman King. But what we got I think turned out pretty half baked...
I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect that level of quality, buy of course it depends on the studio making it. I just looked it up and this studio barely does any action shows, their most prominent one is Fairy Tail and I gotta say this checks out. FT has some of the worst animation and pacing in all of Shonen. FT and now Shaman King are the only two Shonen I've ever watched that treat life and death battles like a game of bloody knuckles. There's consequences, but definitely nothing close to what's being implied. Though it seems like Shaman King was designed to be weird with death even in the manga so it got a tiny free pass, compared to Fairy Tail where injuries and clearly deadly powers are ignored for no good reason.
Dude, for long videos like these (over 10 minutes), you can write a script to help you out. Seems like you struggle with structure, when you're trying to compile a review on the spot and ad-lib the entire thing. It's very distracting to follow your train of thought, when every 5rd word is "basically", "literally", "definitely", "fundamentally" and "like".
Are you excited for Shaman King Flowers?
I’m watching sadly not everyone will watch it
I felt like the remake was enjoyable despite it flaws and I got the manga thanks to kondasha releasing the volumes

If only they had more episodes to work with I would say 60 or maybe even 100 to fit everything and add other stuff

The second opening to this anime was performed by Nana Mizuki
It`s not a reboot!It is a readaptation because The Manga was only half-done when the original show was being made!
mate, pretty much the very same thing
Just finished the anime and i agree with you, prequel arc should hve been at least 2 parts at most..the ending had no space.
