[QUOTE]SUMMARY:
[size=2]In a world of spirits, there are shamans. Shamans who connect people with the world of spirits. They help guide people and seeks advice. Manta Oyamada is one of those people can see see spirits. One night, he meets Yoh Asakura, a lazy-lacking shaman. They gradually become best friends and Manta finds out about Yoh's past and why he's in Tokyo. As Yoh and his spirit partner Amidamaru confront spirits, they also meet many enemies like Ren. As he meets those enemies, Yoh tries to achieve his goal of becoming the Shaman King.[/QUOTE][/size]

[B][COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=1]Welcome to OB, anime-g! (I made a rhyme!)

I happen to be quite the Shaman King fanatic myself. It's not my favorite series, but it's one of the top 10, no doubt ^^ My little brother loves Shaman King so much, he buys the Shonen Jump just to read it. Why he doesn't just buy the GNs is quite a mystery... Anyway, I don't have anything but local channels, so I don't get fox-box and therefor cannot watch the Shaman King anime. Regretfully, I don't have Cartoon Network (For Adult Swim) either. *Sigh* Alas, I am left solely to the mangas until I can get more hours at work and afford satalite (Or not-crappy cable)

Anyway, I love Ren Tao (Len, I believe, in the anime.) and Anna Kyoyama. Her 'tough-love' way of life is the best! Yoh (And any other guy) really DOES need to get put in his place! Nyahaha!

Hmm... I was wondering, how far has the anime gotten? If it's further than the manga, I'm gonna be thouroghly annoyed... Nothing I can do about it, I suppose. D'you read the Shonen Jump, anime-g?

Later!

Hao Asakura is the best character and the best "villain" in any anime or manga that I've seen or read. He kicks everyone's *** but is considerate enough to keep a cheery grin on his face while doing so. And his philosophies on life and what he is trying to do actually make you confused as to whom to root for.

I have all the single manga not the one in Shonen Jump. I have seen up to half of the episodes on Fox Box and I was first introduced to Shaman King in Shonen Jump by my friend. It was kind of cool at the time but I didn?t know want it was about. I guess my favorite character would be Horo Horo, because he is a snow boarder and I can?t believe he lost to Yoa which is good to. The part when they fight is pretty awesome. He has pretty cool moves. :animeswea

My favorite character in the series is Asakura Hao! He's so cool, he never gives up, even if he failed for 1500 years(?). [spoiler]there's nothing here! ^_^ sorry if I wasted your time!![/spoiler]

I like the semi-evil guys, like Wooden Sword Ryu and Faust VIII. These guys can add a lot of depth to a storyline as well as some good moments. Such complexity can make anime and manga a lot more enjoyable when you don't know what thy will say or what they will do next. Ryu goes on from being a real jerk to being a wise philosophiser from his "Happy Place" speech in Volume 6. Faust follows his lineage to a T when he goes from a content doctor to a necromancer with a fuse even shorter than Ren Tao's. Like I said, these kind of characters really make you look forward to the next volume, which for shaman king, may be 3 months:(.....

YES! I LOVE SHAMAN KING! I like anna because its so funny when she allways yells at yoh. yoh is funny when he allways slacks off. Manta is funny because he is so easly panicked. Oh and Amidamaru is cool too... hmm I think I might be to obsessed with it. i have 3 volumes (1-3) and my favorite so far is volume 3. I have a question about the anime, does anyone know what channal it is on? (time warnner cable is my provider.)

[SIZE=1][FONT=Arial] Who here reads Shaman King? It's one of my favorite manga. If you do read it, who are your favorite characters? Mine are Yoh, Amidamaru, Anna, and Bason. [/FONT] [/SIZE]

[color=darkblue][size=1][b]I merged your Shaman King thread with one that already existed. In the future, pleae try to look on the first couple of pages of the board about the subject you want to talk about instead of creating an entirely new thread. Thanks. -Lady K[/b][/size][/color]

Shaman King is one of my favorite manga actually, I love the art style and I find it very witty. The characters too are so much fun that I like them all!! Although my favorites are Faust, Ren. Lyserg and Yoh. I also watch the anime which is, and this is odd, one of the better dubs out there. The manga is also very true in that aspect but they cut out some of Yoh's clothing heh. Some of you might know what I mean.

I'm glad there are other Shaman King lovers out there. Sometimes it gets lost in all the other Shonen Jump titles.
