Childhood is ejoying the Big Three. Puberty is becoming a JoJo fag. Adulthood is realizing that Magi is the GOAT.

>tfw Shaman King was to your country what DBZ is to the USA and saint seiya is to latin americans
Feels good.
Lilly best girl.

Are you perhaps from Eastern Europe?

>Common

Come on.

Childhood is enjoying Jojo and Shaman King.
Adulthood is realizing they're both shit

Best post.

Yes, specifically Russia.

Magi is indeed amazing.

Shaman King was pretty popular in latin america even more than Saint Seiya.

Am i the only guy who finally started to enjoy flowers at the end and was sad to see it go?

Russian-user here.
I really thought it is best anime ever. Untill few years ago i've decided to watch Dragon ball. And it was amazing. Can't believe that there are people that don't know that something awesome exists.

Not more than saint seiya, at least where I live. It was popular because of 4Kids, bu saint seiya and dragon ball were always more popular.

It was good, but not THAT good. I feel the fanbase exaggerates about its actual popularity. It wasn't relevant (outside the niche fanbase) for a long time. Maybe if takei hadn't been a retard and turned down the new anime it could have gained a new resurgence, but come on. This series has been on the grave for a long time now.

>only kids watch big buff masculine men
>only adults watch shirtless 10 year old boys
Makes sense to me

Magi is shit, especially the latest arcs

I actually initially disliked it, but then gave it another shot and enjoyed it

Then, right after I got into it, the whole comic died.

That was painful.

Will we ever see a New anime? (I know the creator rejected an anime remake offer)

New story arc is coming, so maybe there is a little possibility

i was looking forward to how was hana going to fare with a regular human spirit in the flower maze, but overall the whole team was just weak replacements specially not-ryu

>I know the creator rejected an anime remake offer
Really?

This is the reason why rejected the offer. But who knows? There is a little possibility...

Fucking based.

you can call it childhood, but the story is pretty shitty except the beginning

Agreed if we're talking about the manga

That shit doesn't exist. Shut up.

>Adulthood
>Shounen

Come on now.

>liking filler girls
lmao
at least pick Ely you faggot

Friendly reminder that it's Mankin's 20th Anniversary this year
>tfw proper anime adaptation of the original series never ever

kys-es faggots

I'm still mad Lyserg's theme was never officially released in any soundtrack CD

Death Zero arc was the only good thing in Flowers
Too bad everything prior was pretty dogshit and shat on the OG characters so much that it pissed me the fuck off(Also fuck Tamao becoming a shitty Anna clone)

You'd have to retcon a shit-ton of Flowers to make it good. Also the pacing was downright dogshit, he was writing a monthly manga as if it was a weekly one. The art was also pretty meh...just look at Nekogahara and you can see he was phoning it in big time for Flowers.

>JoJo ripoff
>Better than the original
Are you all retarded?

The new team was gay as fuck
What were they thinking with that Men poophair design? Horohoro expy's design looked lame too.
Hana's design was extremely forgettable which is a huge grip of mine(just look at the chapter where he battles Yoh and you realize just how iconic Yoh's design is in comparison)..just really meh stuff. Alumi had the best design out of those but even she was a it over-the-top.

The new team just wasn't anywhere near as cool and likeable as the old gang.

How do you pronounce Gyro?
Like Gyro-scope, Jiro, Geero?
inb4 it's pronounced dead

It's not all shirtless 10 year old boys(well technically they're 13 and 16 by the end) though

>4kids
I think Mexico had a dub based on the original japanese version which is why it's so popular in some Latino countries

Everyone knows about Dragon Ball
Also Shaman King anime is trash compared to the manga.

HNNNG

>This series has been on the grave for a long time now.
I fucking wish.
Flowers stopped in 2014 and it wasn't because of popularity declining either since it was the magazine's top seller. It was because Takei got pissed off with the Magazine going down and got tired of Shueisha so he didn't feel like continuing it at the time.

It might not be as popular as it was in its heyday in Japan but it's still popular as fuck over there and all over Japanese Twitter. The fact that it's coming out with a new series or whatever this year pretty much says it all. This series refuses to fucking die even though it should have stopped in 2009 with the Kanzenban ending.

All fans want is a proper anime adaptation of the original series and then put the series to rest.

Yeah, that's an obvious load of bullshit. Nobody would refuse adaptation over something so stupid and meaningless. The cast wasn't even particularly great, just run-of-the-mill VA job.

The story is great and the main draw of the series. If we're talking about the manga that is.

I want to fuck that snake.

It has good art and a good story
2 things JoJo doesn't have

Are you stupid or something?
That's his official twitter account
Read more here patch-cafe.net/?p=2758

Takei was quite involved with the original anime for a while back then(which is pretty unusual) and he's friends with many of the voice actors particularly Megumi Hayashibara who voiced Anna and did a bunch of songs for the anime.

Ah, my fellow vodka-drinking comrade. Unfortunately our version was the absolute limits of butchery that franchise could take.
>only adapted like a quarter of the story constantly changing everything and slapped a shitty generic ending onto it
>heavily censored by 4kids with half the characters given stupid new names for no reason and replaced amazing soundtrack with YAYOYAYO-tier crap
>badly translated by Russian department of 4kids
Reading the manga, I was completely amazed how it had barely anything in common with what I watched on TV.

I'm not saying it's fake. I'm saying it's bullshit. His reason was obviously some financial feud with either the studio or Shueisha's intermediary.

It was for like a couple of years, but once Jetix got their copy of Naruto translated everyone forgot SK.

Shut your ass up you fucking retard

I don't think so. I think he's telling the truth.
He liked the old anime and he was quite involved with the production until he got struck by illness from overworking.

>Everyone knows about Dragon Ball
Not in my country. I would say everyone knows naruto.

Yes they do but not underage faggots
You have to talk to oldfags

Matamune a best

I bet you still have a livejournal account

Shouldn't you 2 jojofags be shitposting in the jojo thread right now?

...

>He liked the old anime
Yeah, see, that's not possible, because as far as adaptations go it was one of the worst ever.

>t. retard

Sad to see these fanbases fighting. I like both, although I do prefer Shaman King in the end.

Shaman King could not have existed without Jojo, it is in the tradition Jojo began, and it takes that lineage to new heights

Yes it's actually possible. The old anime is far from faithful or great but I too liked it for what it was.

He was involved early on in the anime not for the entire run btw. I think part of why he liked it is because it was the first work of his(and so far only one) that got animated and some authors get attached to their first anime(like for example to Kubo Bleach's anime meant a lot to him) and another part is he probably mostly liked the voice cast and the music and for good reason because both of these were excellent. Too bad the animation was pretty shitty because it was an early digital show and the adaptation as a whole wasn't great(same director who directed FMA 2003 2 years later btw)

Then he just doens't want money

Looks ugly and static as fuck

You're taking shit too seriously, it's just banter

I'd make a joke but I don't want to summon Sup Forums and their fuckery

Most authors don't really profit all that much from anime adaptations do they?

Either way I think he's doing fine enough financially. The dude has some principles at least and is passionate about his work(for example with Butsu Zone he published it as an Audio Drama years after it got canceled in Shonen Jump because he really wanted to tell that story)

the music was god-tier level.

>replaced amazing soundtrack with YAYOYAYO-tier crap
Hey come on now you have to admit the english intro was the tits youtube.com/watch?v=4sGPqhETRt4
Definitely nothing like what OP got

Also the Anime in general is quite different from the Manga. Lyserg for example is a huge emo sasuke-tier faggot in the anime but he's far more chill in the manga. The anime director added pointless melodrama.

>Your big anime breakout hit was the 4kids butchered one
Oh that's unfortunate

To be fair most countries' anime breakout hit was Pokemon which was 4kids too

Childhood is calling it "JoJo's".
Adulthood is realizing that's fucking retarded.
Godhood is calling it "JoJo" like any sane person would.

Pokemon at least had a decent game published by Nintendo attached to it

It's pronounced ジャイロ.

There isn't one up right now.

;_;

SHUT THE FUCK UP MORON
IT'S A FUCKING BELIEF IN SHAMANISM
KILL YOURSELF

didn't want the fags that call it JoJo's on my ass but I guess it's a double edged sword

Mexican dub was God-Tier, specially the portrayal of Chocolove, he was literally an even more racist black steriotype with the accent.

*stereotype
Dumb fellow spic

My bad fellow spic, wanna go grab some tacos?

Doesn't change the fact that it rid all the last arcs of any possible stakes. Every fight just ended with everyone dead and resurrected. Combined with the fact that all the characters agreed Hao will win anyway, there was zero tension for the rest of the manga.

The girls were all good though

>Childhood is enjoying JoJo's
>JoJo's
Do people not realize how awkward this is? It's fucking JoJo or JJBA. You don't fucking say Bill and Ted's.

>Shaman.King
Was decent till Toa ren died and then every one started dying every single fight. Its like the author realized that the bad guy was to strong so he started going Dragon ball but he still couldn't power up the good guys fast enough. The entire last quarter of the manga is a fucking mess.

You have no idea what you're even talking about because you never understood the series in the first place.

Got rid of all of the possible stakes my fucking ass. They were struggling like crazy in the final dungeon with the Patch and they ran out of Furyoku. The whole revival technique was never as overpowered as you faggots made it out to be...after like 3 or 4 revival spells Jeanne had to stay behind to recharge her Furyoku and the team were on their own.

Newsflash moron Yoh could have killed Hao but decided he didn't want to(pic related). And the story had a ton of tension but not something your dumb ass would notice. The tension of the story was all about if Yoh could win over Hao's heart which is what he wanted to do because he didn't want to kill him and Yoh throughout the series had saved countless people by offering them love and understanding.
Another source of tension was if Yoh's team would back him up or not on his decision.
But of course your dumb shonenshit ass is too dumb too understand what this series is about

I would have agreed with you, but let's be honest, it started going downhill pretty fast around volume 20.

Kill yourself you little shit
The reincarnation stuff was established early on in the series with Yomi Cave

I fucking hate you shonenshitters who can't understand that this manga is based on religion/spirituality.

Also Ren let himself be killed in that instance because he still felt guilt over having killed Chrom and that was his way of trying to make amends. Yoh then sacrificed his entry on the Shaman Fight so the X-Laws could revive him. These deaths weren't pointless and led to a ton of great character moments. Not to mention it wasn't even overused that much and you're exaggerating. Even in Mu Continent after a few times of Jeanne using the revival spells she ran out of Furyoku and this was very early on in the dungeon. Yoh and co. had to stop midway through and get some sleep to restore their energy too.

No it didn't
There were some parts after Osorezan Revoir arc which were kinda draggy and the whole Oyamada Mansumi arc was kinda meh but it was still solid most of the time and around the end it picked up again.

Yeah, that bothered me as well.

See and kill yourself

What you say is applicable to every single shonen. It's not a source of tension, it's a perfectly normal parts of the medium's storytelling, especially that page you linked. This is a series that revolves around battles. And battles were rendered pointless. Which means there was no stakes. Also for someone who insists on me not getting the story you're the one who failed to notice that the characters went into final dungeon just for the hell of it and whether they'd beat shamans in it or die on the way would mean nothing since the result was exactly the same for both scenarios. Hao would still become Shaman King, and he would still kill all of humanity, and all of that was established a dozen chapter before, effectively spoiling the whole final confrontation.

You remind me of HxHfags. They too desperately need to convince themselves like their shonen is somehow special and deep despite being completely mediocre. And they too will spew out whole paragraphs of defensive excuses when people make fun of their stupid resurrection moment.

Where can I torrent Shaman King? With all my old sources down now, I don't know where to turn.

Are we searching for a more original answer than nyaa? Does anyone even use some other trackers for anime nowadays?

Oh, I didn't think there would be so many on nyaa. Is there a particular best subgroup?

>What you say is applicable to every single shonen.
Except it fucking isn't at all.
In every other shonen the objective of the MC is to kill the "bad guy".
In Shaman King it's the opposite with Yoh always trying to understand them and trying to save them by giving them unconditional love.

FFS as early on as chapter 24 Yoh completely surrendered his body to Tokageroh and didn't even attempt to control his spirit or anything when it entered his body.
This is like no other shonen out there

Shaman King is about Love and Love is illogical. It's about having the courage to love if you know you might get tricked or betrayed. It portrays love at its purest form which is loving without expecting anything in return.
That's what I got out of Shaman King and this is not a message you'll ever see on other Battle Shonen and I definitely haven't seen it portrayed quite this way in other manga either.
It also fits in with the whole religious stuff. In most religions out there God or Holy Spirit or whatever are infinitely compassionate and forgiving so that fits in with Yoh's whole saviour persona.

The mistake you make while reading Shaman King is applying grounded logic to it.
As Matamune says
"The Heart, is that which believes throughout everything, without being captured by reality."

I'd just download whichever has the most seeds. And looking at the list, only one of them has seeds at all.

It is SPECIAL and it is DEEP. Deal with it.
Stick to something more your level of intelligence like DB Super or One Piece you retarded faggot
