Shaman King was actually the first anime I watched after many years. Through it, I discovered manga and anime. Take into account that I watched that in the Greek dubbed version (which wasn't really good) and now I'm watching it again in the Japanese with English subs. The storyline is really awesome, although in some place it stopps following the manga plot. The animation of the first season as just great as well, but during the second season it was a bit rush; I guess because they were in a hurry to finish it. All the characters were really great and each one had his read more

For me, Shaman King is one of the best animes I've watched in a long time. The fact that every single character has its very own unique personality adds a nice feeling to the overall show.

It's apparent once both get into their theories concerning souls. Both have a great deal of focus on how two souls of completely different people work in unison to achieve common goals. Not to mention, both are funny as hell.
They are very similar, in both you get to see characters with superpowers given by someone.
You get to see a series of fights for the place of "world's king" in both animes.

The characters and they story, the entire anime are very similar, but still difrent and interesting in their own way. :P
