Shaman King

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 very own personality and reasons to act as he/she did. I really enjoyed it very much, which I think you can tell since I have watched this series more than 20 times! 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. Another thing I really enjoyed in Shaman King was that there isn't always one character who dominates the battles, but all of the characters you meet in the show have their own abilities, which make them important for every single battle. Besides from battles there are also lots of funny moments. I literally had to laugh all the time throughout the whole show, because Shaman King manages the transition from dramatic or serious to funny moments so well.
Overall I'd recommend this show to anyone who likes shows with awesome characters, lots of humor, awesome battles and a great storyline.
