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.

As a kid, shaman king was one of my first anime shows and favorites as well. This is the first anime that really got me into other anime. I remember when it was still airing, and I always looked foward to the next day when it will be on. It has a interesting storyline and I was really into the artwork.
Story 8/10
Back then, I was really into these supernatural kind of shows. Shaman king displays great fights and also entertains the audience with all the comedy added to it. Though the storyline was pretty obvious it was still enjoyable. I really want to talk more about the story, though I can't give any spoilers so I'll stop here.
Art 8/10
I really liked the artwork for shaman king. Taking into consideration the day it was aired, the art is simply fabulous. One of the much better artwork done during the time.
Sound 6/10
I don't really remember much about the songs used here, so I can only say 6 to be fair.
Character 8/10
There is a lot of character development throughout the show, so this another aspect of the anime that I liked.
Enjoyment 9/10
I really looked forward to watching every next episode, so it was quite enjoyable for me.
Overall 8/10
If you are into shounen and the supernatural, this is a must see :) read more

Both have merged souls into weapons and such.
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.
weapon meisters with their human-like-weapons and shamans with their ghost partners,easily transformated into weapon have much in common
In both there is fights. Both are shonen. Both have souls involved in the story. Both have similar main characters.
They talk about souls and try to aqquire more power to their own reasons.
Characters uses a partner companion who turn into a soul to become a weapon. Soul Eater and Shaman King is almost both Halloween Theme but Shaman King sticks more to traditional Japanese supernaturals while Soul Eater are mixed of European and Asian supernaturals. They both have humorous scenes and intense combat animation, though since Soul Eater is new, it got more cool combat moves.
Both are fighting and soul theme ones.

I wouldn't call it the same storyline but there are some parallels.
#1 tournament that decides who becomes "king"
#2 superpowers
#3 strong feel for justice and friendship
#4 powers are lent (Ueki: from their god candidate; shaman: from their ghost)
#5 A girl that decided to become the main guy's "manager"
The rest is completely different though, characters aren't really similar.
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
They both involve a tournament setting with a cast of characters with distinctly different skills.
Similar stories. Boy gets super power and fights to be the best. When I saw one I was reminded of the other.
They both give you the same feeling. Both use awesome powers.
They both compete in a tournament to become "king." Powers are lent by spirits/candidates. They both have a "fight for your friends" motto.
Characters have different abilities. Both have a villian with a bad past bent on destroying the world. One prankster/jokester character joins the main group.
