Shaman King New Arc

Are you excited Sup Forums ?

Yes, I love SK as a whole. I hope is the continuation of the Flowers manga.

Why? Flowers was garbage.

How creatively bankrupt do you have to be to still milking a series you finished over a decade ago and not start on something new at this point?

>killed iron maiden jeanne offscreen
Fuck you

She surely would be resurrected at some point.

Disagree. Hana is quite different from Yoh, the characters were surprisely fun, the war setting between previous SK could work pretty well and Death Zero arc was a great starting point to develop Hana even further. The problem with Flowers is that we only saw the beginning of it.

Not really. Back then they tried to resurrect it (heh) and it didn't work. There's no reason to make it work today just because every late 90s/early 00s manga seems to be getting revival.

On the other hand, the main character obviously smokes weed erryday, I have soft spot for him.

I hope he’s finally gotten over his obsession with Anna and can go at least a couple chapters without sucking her dick.

>I hope is the continuation of the Flowers manga.

The manga with the son was a mistake. And the manga wasn't even that good.
The only thing I would be interested in watching would be a direct sequel to the original anime

Was I the only one confused by the countless number of Hana designs that he made? They all looked different, even the ones for color pages.

>that new cover
JUST
What a fucking downgrade


>Liking the piece of shit that took a huge dump all over the original series/character
I bet you like Chrono Cross too don't you faggot?
>a direct sequel to the original anime
Fuck off shonenfag
The anime killing off Hao sucked. This is never what the series was about and you're not a true fan if you prefer that fanfiction over the manga

I didn't care since Hana was such a shitty ass character

I wanted a remake so I could get it off my backlog.

That's the thing. Takei did many projects and all of them were awful. SK is his only horse.

Reminds me of Watsuki, now lets pray Takei doesnt like child porn as well.

Butsu Zone and Nekogahara are pretty decent
Ultimo and Jumbor are trash

I would honestly be happier if they just remade the anime FMA:Brotherhood style.

Just read the mango(I recommend reading it on Batoto)
No anime will do it justice anyways

I hope Kodansha USA retranslates the whole series and doesn't censor it/dumb it down this time around like Viz did. But I'm just dreaming.

>bringing up Chrono Cross
That's a strike below the belt.

Who wouldn't?
But Takei shot down an offer that was made to him because they couldn't get the original cast/music back.

There could be some good coming out of this though. The manga is gonna get reprinted by Kodansha in Japan and we might possibly get a new (hopefully more faithful)translation with all the KZB chapters included(shame about the new fugly covers though, Takei shouldn't have touched those)

I liked the anime a lot, will I like the manga too?

this

yeah, especially after becoming guardian spirit of some psycho girl

I wanted the anime remake, fuck Takei

DUDE WEED

on the other hand, if anime remake would result in something like D.Gray-Man: Hallow, then maybe it's for the better that he refused

yea, specially because Hallow is a fucking sequel, not a remake.

Go read it now.

A FUCKING HELICOPTER

you just went full retarded

The spics are probably happy.

>No Yomigaereeeeeeeeeeeee
>No Kimi ni TODOKEEEEEEEEE NORTHERN LIGHTS
>No Yuko Sato as Yoh
>No Megumi Hayashibara as Anna
>No Minami Takayama as Hao
>No Romi Paku as Ren
Nah fuck that. Takei was right.
Can't even get a bunch of actors and the original music. Fucking pathetic.

D.Gray-Man is reddit-tier shit. You should go back there millennial.

I have only been in Sup Forums for a few months, so what is exactly this "spic" meme? I've seen it in dragon ball threads mainly and in other threads involved nostalgia. Are spics obsessed with old anime and revivals or something?

Spics are obsessed with shonenshit

A new version should have new things. New things are good.

spics have the worst taste in anime/manga for some reason

fox kids in the past aired shaman king, digimon, orphen, and a lot of shonen animes dub

And Filipinos?

In the case of Dragon Ball, spics live and breathe it. They also like Saint Seiya and a few others, but Shaman King being a spic thing? That's a bad use of the meme by a retard.

>New things are good
You're an idiot.

CAPITALISM

Apparently I missed the real ending or some shit?

I just remember the big bad guy saying make the world better or some shit and it just ends.

I'd rather take the anime ending serving some justice to Hao instead of the ending where everyone sucks his dick.

You gotta give Takei credit for making god tier designs, at least.

Would anyone be assblasted over different voice actors other than the diehard fans? Almost all western fans saw the dubbed version, and SK has been dead to the wider public for years. I honestly don't picture anyone making much fuzz over it.

>now lets pray Takei doesnt like child porn as well.
At least Watsuki was discreet about it, you can tell Takei's into shota/trap from a mile away.

>Would anyone be assblasted over different voice actors
Japanese fans would.
>SK has been dead to the wider public for years
Which is why it's important to cater to those fans.

I'm pretty sure he said no to the adaptation to retain rights in case of an new anime so he can do it with someone else. An user smarter than me talked about it a week ago.

Look up "Monkey D. Luffy Gear Fifth", it should answer all your questions.

This is that series with the 14 year olds hooking up and having kids, right?

Yes.

>Japanese fans would.
Those are what I'm talking about. Besides the niche fanbase, no one has given a shit over SK in years. It's not as if it's DB Super or anytthing. Hell, if you were to talk about it to most people, they wouldn't remember a thing beyond something about ghosts and weed protagonist.

>Which is why it's important to cater to those fans.
But it's not profitable.They need to make it attractive to newcomers as well if they want to have any gain from it. Don't mind me, I'd also like they cater to the faithful fanbase, but it just never goes like that.

Is that the one where Yoh dies in a helicopter accident?

>you can tell Takei's into shota/trap from a mile away.

It was just in one manga.

>Shaman King being a spic thing? That's a bad use of the meme by a retard.
We do like Shaman King. also Ranma and Inuyasha

>Implying WSJ Assassins aren't taking care of that.

how can she be dead when she got a son in the ending ?

>Watsuki was discreet about it
Hahahahaha, didn't you read how they caught him?

Hao was literally dressed up as a girl and buttfucked by a priest, also Princess Hao. Also didn't Ultimo had a shota trap too?

New things suck

>Would anyone be assblasted over different voice actors other than the diehard fans?
The japs where this series is most popular

>I'd rather take the anime ending serving some justice to Hao instead of the ending where everyone sucks his dick.
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU

This series doesn't need braindead "fans" like you ruining it.
Nobody fucking sucks Hao's dick get it through your thick fucking skull you moron.

FFS in the Epilogue Luchist even doesn't give a shit and tells Hao to send back everyone to Earth. The goddamn author makes fun of him by turning him into a goddamn princess and even goes as far as bringing back his own mother to bitchslap him. Furthermore Yoh himself could have killed him(pic related) but he decided not to.

Hao was killed twice before and the whole series revolves around Yoh and how he saves even the people who are thought of as "unsalvageable" by offering them love and trust.
In other words this series is not about your hateboner for Hao, it's about love and positive things and how nobody is really bad(as Yoh says in the first chapter for example("Nobody who can see spirits is a bad person")

>Those are what I'm talking about.
No you're not. You were talking about western fans.
Jap fans take this shit more seriously, especially when there's high profile names involved like Romi Paku, Megumi Hayashibara, Minami Takayama etc.

Also Takie is friends with quite a few of these actors and was very involved in the original anime as well

>buttfucked by a priest
What?

Are we going to see Turkic/Mongol shamans this time?

Never noticed it but this is some fucked up racist cultural appropriation of the many native american cultures. Hopefully it will get the criticism it deserves.

(You)

Another (You) from me
Anyway this has a point.
We literally didnt see any shaman that came from central asia

I'm very excited, Shaman King was what got me into manga in the first place, and I enjoyed Flowers while I was reading it but stopped for a while when I got to college, hopefully this will reignite my interest.

Not him but chrono cross is one of my favorite games.

>I'd rather take the anime ending serving some justice to Hao instead of the ending where everyone sucks his dick
are you retarded?
Hao can reincarnated whenever he want's, killing him only pushes the problem to the next generation
also Hao could have easily won the tournament so breaking the rules just to get done faster (after waiting for 1000+ years) soesn't make any sense

It wasn't an accident. Both him and Anna get straight up fucking murdered by an attack helicopter. Iron Maiden Jeanne who became Ren's wife also gets killed offscreen by some edgy little bitch. Flowers in general fucked over the old cast so bad it's not even funny. I hope it fails again and gets axed for good this time.

Ignore that shonenshit faggot
I doubt he even read the manga and just watched the anime

As a spic
You're right, I fugging love Dragon Ball and EL GRANDE PADRE memes

Wait I thought Yoh was dead and we had Flowers

or is Flowers now retconned due to being shit?

Don't forget that Horohoro is suddenly a lazy NEET now when in the original epilogue he said he was working on the mountains. Also Chocolove is still in fucking jail.
Seyram and Redseb are now evil for some reason...I guess because they're """jews""" or something.
Tamao turning into an edgy Anna clone and her being so powerful makes no sense either.

I hope this new arc or whatever has nothing to do with Flowers or if it is Flowers related I hope he retcons the old version entirely and starts it all over again and makes it decent this time around without shitting on the old cast.

To be honest the thing that interests me the most is a potential new translation of the original manga with the KZB chapters. Would love a new anime but I doubt it happens.

We don't know yet. There hasn't been much detail into what the new chapters will be about.

But the image on the OP is new cover artwork by Takei for the new reprint of the original series under Kodansha

> the guy that caused millions of deaths and up to this day remains unrepentant of the many horrible things he did to other people isn't really bad and deserved to be loved and forgiven
Ok

Hey, Takei did make Hao incredibly broken too.

I hope this new arc is referring to SK and not Flowers. What a fucking mistake that "sequel" was. The series ended just fine with the epilogue of the original. But then after failing every other project he did afterwards, this talentless hack realized that SK was the only profitable thing he's done and decided to make one of the worst sequels ever.

What if the new arc takes place 500 years into the future with all new characters?

Japanese haven't been up to SK much either, besides the obvious faithful fanbase. Seiyuu changes have happened before and people get over it.

Once again fuck off you animeonlyfag
Hao was killed twice before and it didn't work. Deal with it.

> be a mom
> still flat
> that dress
What the fuck, anna?

Not my fault Hao's broken to hell and back.

Yeah he was so incredibly broken he got killed twice before by the same goddamn family and a cat. Not to mention that they could have killed him again considering Jeanne Alone had 600K+ Furyoku and so did Anna near the end on the series. And even Yoh said that he could have become strong enough to overpower him while in Hell.

Sure he looked incredibly strong for a single guy and he was the strongest Shaman but if all the X-Laws(including Maiden) and Team Yoh/Ren combined they could have killed him easily. But this series is clearly not about that.

>not start on something new at this point

He has a new series ongoing though, Nekogahara.

Her and Yoh became wandering hippies. That's how they ended up getting killed along with their child. They wandered into a fucking warzone, got the whole family killed, and then bullied Hao into bringing Hana back to life.

To be fair he already set up this "sequel" with those godawful Funbari no Uta stories way before even the Kanzenban happened.

I just don't get what he was thinking with Tamao becoming an edgy Anna clone. And the whole of Flowers was filled with bad rehashes of the original characters. Like that new Asakura branch bitch and her bitch brother that is just like Tao Jun and Ren. And then you have the literal clones like that fat version of Ryu and that Horohoro ripoff and stuff. Talk about lack of creativity.

And that's why Anna is still flat as a board even though she's a mom?

>Japanese haven't been up to SK much either
Flowers was the best sold manga in the magazine it was published on. That's pretty impressive considering the issues the series has faced over the years.

How many manga out there have stopped and come back as often as Mankin?

>broken
See

>They wandered into a fucking warzone
>wandered
They went there in purpose to try and stop the war you doofus.
It's retarded how they died but then again Miki died because a car ran over him and he's not allowed to rest in peace because his wife is mad at him(it's implied it's because he cheated on her)

No that's just due her being shit. Even her successor is flat. It's probably a requirement for whatever that title is supposed to be. Be flat and act like a cunt.

Everyone were trying to fight him and he fucked them all until his mom showed up. Up until that point they were still trying to fight him. If defeating him was so easy, they'd never do that in the first place. He clearly overpowered them all.

Why is Takei obsessed with Anna clones? Is this something like Takeuchi with Saber?

Fetishism probably.
