(I'm really sorry for not posting a blog yesterday. I didn't go to my dads house so it totally slipped my mind. Again, my sincere apologies *bows*)
Shaman king, while being a good anime, wasn't my favorite. Mainly because it was too bloody short and it felt like they were rushing the story AND that there was no season 2. The characters got too strong too quickly and the conversations they had through out the episodes dragged on too long. On the other hand, I liked the whole "Putting your spirits in anything" 'n shit. I mean think about it: you've got the huge arse samurai as your guardian/spirit, you get a spoon, put him in it and BAM! You've got a spoon sharper that a katana. That's just too awesome. I believe that there were differences between the Japanese version and the English version. While the English version was aimed for a younger audience, the Japanese version was for an older. (duuuhh) It's difference is clear if you've watched the Japanese version: more swearing, more blood, characters look older (I think) in comparison to the English. But I prefer the English version simply 'cause the characters were more loose and fun than the Japanese.
(Sorry for the short blog. I got home, and I just remembered to write one.Tomorrow's will be much longer. Oh and I ate a watermelon whilst writing. It was delish =D)
You made it! I like Shaman King a lot because of the characters. The friendship and story of the characters dragged me into the anime, I guess. There are also a lot of hilarious moments between the characters. Voices of characters in the English version are a lot better than in the Japanese version.
It's a shame there isn't season 2, it was rushed, a lot. Only 64 episodes. The ending of Shaman King, when the star of destiny makes it's journey again and when the oracle bell rang before the credits start, has SEASON 2 written all over it. Yet, there is no season 2.. Oh well. Thanks Kaan. Good job. 5/5
