Animation manages to be worse than the original version which already had bad animation

It wasn't even true in 2019. Dororo looks bettee than 95% of shows. People seem to forget that Mappa is the successor to Madhouse. And Madhouse is the goat studio by a large margin.

The only positive i can think about is the protagonist is actually chill and there is no plot armor at all (Its clear Hao would become SK no matter what and many of his companions were stronger than him at the end of the main plot) but that’s pretty much it.

>People still believe this is true

At Otakon 2015, former Madhouse president and then MAPPA president, Masao Maruyama, expressed his desire to work on a reboot of Shaman King.[1] In February 2017, while answering a fan's question, Takei revealed on his official Twitter that he received an offer for an anime reboot of Shaman King, but he turned the offer down because he was told that the new anime would not be able to use the first anime's voice actors and soundtrack music, although Takei hoped for another chance in the future.[2] In June 2020, a new anime television series was announced that would adapt the 35 volumes of the new complete manga edition.

so you are saying it could have been way worse?

No it didn't.

This hasn't been true since Maruyama left the studio because he saw how much of a shit show it was becoming and he was right.

This

the animation is fine for the first half, when they get into the shaman fight it goes down the shitter.

I kinda agree, the themes and characters (and their interactions) are quite interesting but the author fails to explore them to the fullest and focuses on the shonen part of the manga (which isn't good) it's a shame really, he has had a lot of good ideas and the osorezan arc is pretty good but you can also tell some early things contradict what he says later because he didn't think of them ahead the manga could really use a total re-write.

This meme is getting old

I think Shaman King is really carried by the characters, similar to Fairy Tail.
It's definitely a good manga and more passionate than all the modern shounen crap out there.

and yet the first half is rushed as fuck
is there any redeeming value to this remake?

What happened to annaposter?

>Three chiefs one-shotted in a single episode
What in the Takei happened here? The shitty rushed ending is rushing even faster.

I hope we get to the sequel mangas in anime form too.

I thought it was but it really isn't, I watched the remake and right now I'm reading the manga, it's lacking a couple of world building chapters but they don't add anything important, there's also a couple of panels missing in episode 4th which I thought were important but whatever, right now I'm not too deep into the manga but at least in the anime it felt like they skipped a lot in the second and third phase of the shaman fight, I hope it's not the same in the manga and their thoughts and training are actually shown, there's also extra chapters that came from short stories the author wrote which give a lot more depth to the characters, those are pretty good but they weren't included in the main story to begin with, so I can't fault the anime for not having them.
I agree, it really feels a 6/10 but could easily become an 8/10 with a little fixing the author ever decides to revisit it.

The protagonist is pretty interesting to look at since I can't really think of many if any other shounen protags who are as chill and down to earth as Yoh, since they usually tend to be pretty hot blooded and energetic. Which makes Yoh a great contrast.

At least it doesn’t have the eyecancer early digital coloring that the old anime did.

Yeah, SK was my favorite shounen but the new anime sucked so bad that I went and read the manga again. So I realized the issue is the manga itself. Takei builds tension only to quickly wave it all away, so every time something interesting is about to happen it cuts away to the characters just eating or drinking tea together as if they weren't just about to fight. The characters aren't great either. Ren is a jobber that acts smug for no reason and Horo Horo couldn't be more irrelevant if he tried.

At this point I think the only one I still like is Hao.

I hope he killed himself

Have you SEEN the animation for shaman king?

So faithful to the manga, you could say they're the same

>Why was this made.
Just to remove Chocolove's lips and be "politically correct", plus nostalgiabucks.
Do Americans ever got a uncensored dub/release of the original show? the rest of the world got it uncensored pretty much as soon as the original came out, Anyways just watch the old one it is worth for the soundtrack alone:

Not gonna lie, I laughed when they introduced a nigger and the first thing he did was to shoot someone.

I'll get flamed for saying this, but the old anime had a better ending than the manga.

Grandma you ok? You’re cherry picking again old girl. You still mad that Black Clover fucking sucks? You crying still because Black Clover has the worst animation and an even worse story? It’s ok, keep using Mappa as the boogie man if it helps you cope. Jjk will continue to out sell your favorite series but it’s ok you made a shit post today, congrats.

I don't really agree, but I'm interested to hear your reasoning.

>rejected a crappa adaptation
So pretty much he dodged a bullet, cool

Make me laugh.
I think I only like Ren's and Chocolove's arc. Faust is cool but sadly he didn't get enough spotligh.

I forgot how much Yoh/Anna wank is in here, for as much as I like Yoh he got absurd returns for his minimum effort.

That OP was great

Nice slideshow.

Who knows, especially with how rushed it felt. They breezed past everything and as a result there's barely any, and sometimes no, build up.
No room to breath, bond, nor develop.

It's time to admit the anime original series was better

yeah, thats how it was in the manga.

for as good the backstory and the rest of the plot was, Takei clearly not only was writing stuff as he went, but even as an indie, he wasnt allowed to flesh much as he wanted since he was still limited.

He's pretty neat

why are they crying? is this some meme or something?

the Snk animation is good. certainly better than SK, and i really dont like Snk.

>why are they crying? is this some meme or something?
/snk/ is nothing but mentally ill people

Well the manga literally got axed so there's why.

I just watched last week's episode and Jesus Christ this shit is so rushed you barely understand what the hell is going on, we got robbed of our apache boss rush kino.

I remember someone once saying, for an axed manga it sure got a lot of spinoffs and revivals

It was eventually finished though and it also got a ton of backstories and even a sequel currently going on.

We only got the first few episodes on DVD back when they were trying out the first uncut Yu-Gi-Oh release but it never went anywhere.

Manta is supposed to be the shounen autism vent

Honestly I can't think in a reason, to begin with everything after the point where the original anime ended is crap and didn't needed an adaptation to anime.

it is believed he resurrected the people he killed after all he had done.

we do know he revived the entirety of the X-Laws so they could support Jeanne and Ren.

>this is all we got of Princess Hao in the anime
there's a lot to hate about the anime but this takes the cake
