Shaman king

Hello people, i am doing review's again!! Okay, i will be Re-reviewing for shaman king. I realised the review that i wrote for shaman king is really horrible. Dont get me wrong, it is not the anime that is horrible, it is the way that i wrote that is horrible. Shaman king is no doubt my favourite anime,so i cant really let my review on my favourite anime to lay down at such low level. So here i am doing a review for shaman king again.I also have some feedbacks that the graphics is not good. Okay, lets get this straight,although the anime is old but the graphic is still very much watch-able. As you can hear from the title, you can roughly know it has something to with the supernaturals. Yes, mostly to do with some ghost stuffs where people usese the power of spirits to fight each other. It talks about a bit of school life, a bit bit of romance, supernaturals, fightings and of course comedy. It has a total of 64 epsidoes. My rating for this anime is 9/10.



The story starts off with a middle student, Oyamada Manta, small in size yet studious. One day on his way home, he trys to take a shortcut through the graveyard. He then encounters a boy , Asakura yoh and his ''friends'' which is a group of spirits. Manta was terrified at the moment and ran away. The next day, he told his classmates what happened but nobody believes it. Coincidentally, yoh also transferred to the same class as manta at the very same day. In order to make his classmates believe him, manta trys to follow yoh to gather evidence but he lost him anyway. so manta decided to go back to the graveyard to wait for him. Unluckily, he encountered a group of delinquent and was accused of trespassing their ''best place''. As a result, manta was beaten up quite heavily.

The next day when yoh see manta covered in bandages, he drags manta back to the graveyard after school to find the group of delinquents. Manta trys to resist but was tied up on the tree anyway. When the group of delinquents showed up, manta sees a samurai spirit behind yoh and turns into a ball form and fused with yoh. Yoh then reveals that he is a shaman that walk through the two worlds. The delinquent was quickly defeated. After that, yoh and manta becomes best of friends. Yoh then reveal his true intention of coming to tokyo which is to find a guardian spirit and takes parts in the shaman fight that happens every 500 years for the title of shaman king. Yoh and Manta then sets off on a journey of becoming shaman king which gets more and more dangerous with each encouter while makings new friends on the way. Not only that, yoh later also learns the secret of his family and his past along the way..



This anime is basically about a group of people using their spirits to create weapons and fighting with other enemies. Sorry to disappoint you people, the main leads in this anime are mostly children. As i mentioned in some of my reviews, children fights can be awesome too and this anime did it. All the actions, weapons, comedy is definitely first class. I am definitely not lying about these especially the comedy part. This anime no doubt has the most hilarious scene among all the anime that i have watched before. 64 episodes may seem long but i can tell you this, i have watched it 7 times. Still i am not tired of it and when you finished it, you will wished for it to be longer. Also, not to mention that this is my top favourite anime definitely. You can actually learn a lot of things in this anime that you can apply in real life. This is good stuff as you can enjoy and learn at the same time. It is like killing two birds with one stone. Some twist in the story also really makes you kind of get a shock, something that you dont expect which is really good. After all, people like surprises,not to mention it is good.

However, it still have some minor bad points. Some parts of the story are too draggy where there are too much talking. So if they can substitute these scenes with something more hilarious and more action, this anime will be more than awesome. The ending is also kind of anti climax, where it just destroys your expectation. I am not saying the ending is not good. It is just kind of incomplete and not fulfilling. So if they can make the whole series longer and focus just a bit more on the ending, it will definitely add lots of points to the anime.
