Shaman King 20th anniversary popularity poll results
Isaac Phillips
Sebastian Jenkins
why some of them are listed two times?
Ryan Edwards
Top 3 are spot on.
David Thompson
Based Yoh
David Cox
Hippie Yoh and Oversoul Yoh are counted differently for some reason.
Lincoln Moore
Top 3 are perfect
William Green
Just look at HoroHoro, OS HoroHoro is also different.
Robert Howard
It's been 20 years and WSJ still hasn't made a heroine as good as Anna.
Grayson White
When are they going to continue with Flowers?
Eli Hernandez
Hopefully never.
Brayden Torres
>Ren
>10th
Nips & their fucking shit taste.
Gabriel Powell
Retarded as fuck, top 3 is kino though.
>based faust made it
Cameron Hughes
When are they going to pull a brotherhood and adapt the complete series?
Eli Cooper
Fuck Anna. Horokeu had to be in that spot
Luis Johnson
>Anna, Horo and Faust that high
>no Lyserg
>Matamune in
>no Ryuu
Only complaint about Ren, but guess Japan is mad that he got to fuck Jeanne.
Otherwise good work Japan
Juan Sanchez
I always liked HoroHoro.
So based nips. You have good taste for once.
Zachary Butler
I never read Shaman King, and I only know it from the 4kids OP. Is it any good?
Brayden King
It's great. Read it, don't watch it. Give it a chance
Joshua Turner
Horo Horo was always my favorite,
but Takei should have made him more plot relevant.
Bentley Reed
>Marco having a place
>no Ryu
何で?
Jaxson Turner
Japan had for once good taste.
Thought, I didn't know HoroHoro was this popular in Japan.
Because he and Lyserg were the most anoying pieces of shit in the whole manga
David Price
Flowers was axed just as it was starting to get interesting. A war between prior Shaman Kings because Hao is a piece of was good, Amedamaru being switched out in favor of an angry, grizzled WW2 vet was a nice way of changing things up. I hate how the series hasn't been able to get picked up or restarted elsewhere.
Isaac Ross
This.
James Williams
>A war between prior Shaman Kings because Hao is a piece of was good
I really didn't like this setup because it was all but stated in the main series that the previous shaman king dissolves into the GS when his term is up. Having these angry guys around using a voting system that couldn't exist until at least 3 of them had been in place made no sense. No shaman king would want to see their paradigm shifted by the new guy so there would be these secondary wars happening every cycle.
Death Zero was the only good thing about this series.
Nolan Torres
The usual reason is that the author's favorites would not have a good score, so they tweak the vote for a more satisfying chart.
Chase Morales
Blimey! a Shaman King thread?!
> Propper adaptation never
> Propper video game never ever
> Propper sequel is just a dream too
Why?!
Charles Reyes
>but Takei should have made him more plot relevant.
His later backstory is the reason he even has half of his fans.
Liam Clark
Why don't you read the first post and find out?
Liam Foster
Lyserg is shit though
Carter Fisher
Renfags btfo
Julian Wilson
I dropped Flowers when all of the old cast just started jobbing and dying off-screen for no reason.
Julian Ross
>but guess Japan is mad that he got to fuck Jeanne.
I refuse to believe that Nips are this autistic.
Ren x Jeanne is 11/10 couple despite everything is happen off screen.
Asher Smith
I want to know how many vote Princess Hao get.
Ryder Hall
supposedly this year, but the author was being a autist about seiyuu/soundtrack choices and it ended up being nothing
Cooper Adams
>video game
Spirits of the shaman on the ps1 was pretty nice as a fighting game. Have you tried it?
Jeremiah Diaz
shut up the gba games were good
Owen Morgan
MarcGOAT
Christopher Perry
David Perry
Damn, I loved Shaman King when I was a kid. Is it considered a good anime/manga? How different the manga is from the anime?
Dominic Scott
They listed almost every different design of the various characters to vote on, I think.
Brody Fisher
The anime is really good until they get to the apache village and started using made of material.
Read it though, but is not hard to do both things.
Ryan Watson
Hoo boy, it's vastly different. I like both though, and both have their flaws but it's still a great series filled with nostalgia.
Tyler Price
Carson Murphy
Reminder that Horohoro is Ainu
Connor Cox
The manga is great for the first 17 volumes but then it goes downhill REALLY fast with forced powerlevel shenanigans
Nicholas Evans
>axed
I thought it ended because the magazine it was in died?
Ryder Rogers
No Rutherford, I'am sad
Matthew Powell
She's the best in our hearts.
Aaron Wright
The anime is garbage, manga is godly
Owen Davis
>The manga's new arc will begin serializing in Kodansha's Shonen Magazine Edge with a prologue in the May issue shipping on April 17. The main manga will then launch in the June issue on May 17. The magazine's April issue, which shipped on Saturday, published the original manga's final chapter, "Saishūkai: the Last Words" (Final Round: the Last Words).
So Takei has scrapped Flowers, huh? Good
>Faust is in 5th place
Woah, Japan, slow down, what's with this good taste
Jonathan Johnson
Based Yoh
Dominic Howard
>tfw proper anime remake with the og cast and the og music never ever
Levi Long
>liking flowers
kys
Angel Cook
>supposedly this year
Stop bullshitting
We're not getting a new anime
Juan Brooks
>Matamune in
Matamune was badass what is wrong with you
Mason Peterson
I remember reading this as a kid
I was so disappointed by the ending. Hao winning made no sense to me
I remember doing stupid shit in school to increase my furyoku
Kevin Foster
Read it here right now bato.to
Leo Perez
>Shitting on Ryu
Neck yourself retard
If anything it's Marco who is the most annoying shit in the manga
Bentley Martin
It's not a bad ranking list, I just don't think Anna deserved third place. Personally not seeing any love for Ryu bothers me but seeing Faust in the top 5 is nice.
Caleb James
>So Takei has scrapped Flowers, huh?
Where do you get this?
Nothing in that text seems to indicate anything about that.
I mean I hope he does scrap it. Tamaonna was the worst thing in this franchise ever. What was he thinking making a passive character into an edgy Anna clone?
Luke Cook
Maybe re-read it now that you're an adult and it might make sense.
Reminder that Yoh could have killed him but he wanted to save him.
Carter Gutierrez
>I just don't think Anna deserved third place.
It's a popularity chart you moron. Of course the author's signature trademark character is popular.
Adam Morris
Ugh...these new covers are killing me
Takei's art has declined so much in the last 20 years ;_;
Julian Mitchell
>Where do you get this?
Well, since this month they published the tankobon ending, and the next will be the prologue of new manga, I assume everything in between, that is Flowers, is ignored.
Justin Bailey
Good idea
I'll try to find the boxes where all the old mangas are stored when I'll get to my parents house
Ryder Baker
Eli Jackson
oh no were not, but if the mangaka hadnt insisted on having the originals it wouldve happen this year
Thomas Bailey
What version do you have?
VIZ only published the original version with the princess ending afaik(also they censored the fuck out of the series and of course the translation was dumbed down)
Samuel Cruz
That doesn't really say anything though. It could just as well easily be a direct sequel to the original that happens before the events of Flowers.
Nathaniel Gutierrez
Don't kill me but I think he did the right thing. I loved the og cast and the music.
>tfw Minami Takayama saying "Chicchee na!"
youtube.com
Jackson Lopez
If they kept it, they would recognise it somehow. For now, the ending chapter only shows that Hana exists.
Jaxon Flores
The volumes are translated in french and they have the same covers as in , I don't know if that helps though
Fuck that brings back memories. I read vol 16 so many times because of the big over souls
Adrian Cook
Anna was my first waifu. I still think she's the best but the age difference now is just too big.
Josiah Flores
I just hope the new manga returns to the original cast and ditches flowers.
Jeremiah Ross
>French
Oh you're good to go then.
Technically the covers in (You) are recent redos of the original covers for the new digital reprint of Shaman King in honor of the 20th anniversary. Look at them closely, they're done in Takei's current style...they look far worse than the original covers because Takei's art has declined since the Kanzenban days, especially when he switched to digital.
Ryan Robinson
She became an adult.
And then I think she got shot.
Alexander Howard
I wish Flowers gets scrapped entirely
I also hope if it's monthly the pacing won't be dogshit like it was for Flowers. I swear to god, dude was writing a monthly series with the pacing of a weekly one.
Andrew Jackson
How is it worse? His style changed, it got much sharper, but that's it.
Nicholas Allen
First off, where the fuck is Ryuu?
Secondly, who the fuck even cares about Shaman King anymore?
Easton Thompson
Ok, thanks user
Kevin Ross
I care.
I don't really get how Marco made the to 10 but it could be worse.
Cooper Robinson
She grows up in the end. Also turns into a hippie.
Matthew Perez
I'm fine with this. Thanks I never followed after the anime.
I'm not fine with this what the fuck?
Easton Davis
>two watermarks
Benjamin Thompson
Seriously? You'd have to be blind not to notice the massive differences in his art-style over the last 20 years
Also the new covers clearly don't have that much effort put into them. Even Flowers and Nekogahara had better covers than that
Jaxson Rodriguez
I just grabbed it off of google
Camden Richardson
What's worse about it? Try to explain in actual words.
The covers are the same as the old ones, characters on black background.
Daniel Roberts
>Even Flowers
Can I just say that Flowers could look really nice?
Wyatt Rogers
>I'm not fine with this what the fuck?
Yoh and Anna got killed by an Attack Helicopter
Flowers was stupid
Jeremiah Baker
I did not say otherwise.
See above
Maybe my post was too vague?
Julian Davis
Oh. Then what's wrong with Ryu?
Benjamin Thomas
Why the fuck didn't Yoh use his powers?
Landon Thomas
Anti War message?
Robert Richardson
[ ] Takei is tricking us
[x] Left Amidamaru behind
[ ] Not actually a problem because it's not like everyone hasn't come back from death a few times before
Adrian Harris
Least interesting of the "main" cast, also turns retarded in Flowers.
Eli Butler
>also turns retarded in Flowers
How so, I seem to recall he keeps doing what he was always doing.
Julian Foster
In simple words...
It looks very loose and unfinished most of the time.
It doesn't have that solid look his old art used to have.
Also his style used to be more round-ish and pleasant to look at in general. He was way better at drawing facial expressions too. Just look at the expressions in the early volumes of Shaman King and compared them to the awful facial expressions in Flowers for example.
Jaxon Morales
Interesting, I didn't know he was a bitchslave to the 3 Hanagumi before.
Daniel Bennett
>No Ryu
Damn
David Hernandez
>Faust that high
Is that supposed to be bad?
