Idk there are a lot of choices. Bones and their action guy Yutaka Nakamura would be cool.

Since studio ufotable did a good job with "Kimetsu no Yaiba". I hope they take the initiative with this project. But damn, I thought remakes and readaptations of anime from the 1990s and 2000s were just a faze the anime industry was going through. Guess they want to show us how far they've come since the original series. Works for me, I've watched both the originals and new versions of plenty of anime, so I'm very much looking forward to this.

I don't care about the studio as long as they actually make a good adaptation this time, which I think is what the trailer is supposed to tell us since it shows scenes of the manga.

The 2 that take the lead on the most likely studio to adapt this remake are Studio M2 from Masao Maruyama since he did say in 2015, a year before he left MAPPA, that he would like to make a Remake of Shaman King and Rurouni Kenshin (https://tinyurl.com/y7mruek8) and Studio Orange since they revealed ~2 weeks ago that they were working "on a CG Remake of 'Familiar' Title" (https://tinyurl.com/y8xkjbw6).
On one side, Maruyama is probably one of the few persons that could get the rights to make this anime since the author has been against it (plus Studio M2 has been very silent lately) and on the other, the fact that Orange is working on a Remake makes this 2 studios the primary candidates for the new adaptation.
For my 3rd option, I'd probably say Production IG or WIT Studio. The original Shaman King was produced by TV Tokyo, NAS and XEBEC. Since Xebec is now attached to IG and since King Records and Kodansha seem to be involved, I could see IG giving this to WIT (but I doubt).

My mistake. But that info is also outdated. Xebec doesn't exist anymore. Sunrise created Sunrise Beyond with what they got from Xebec and the studio finally "ceased to exist on May 31st 2019". Most of the staff that worked at Xebec and was not part of the initial deal moved back to IG and IG Port companies.
The thing is, the IG Port is the current holder of Xebec's old works, so Shaman King would fall under the IG Port, not Sunrise.
There's also the fact that not all of Xebec moved to Sunrise and what stayed behind, XebecZwei, was later renamed IGZwei.

If orange is the studio then is will be complete shit...
I just hope they will make it a 2D anime with a good studio.
I hope it's a completely new studio that has no relation to Xebec, Studio M2 or Studio Orange.
Maybe we will be lucky and will get a top tier studio like Bones or Production IG.

Well, one thing I can be sure of, is that is not going to be Bones, Madhouse, ufotable, KyoAni, Wit Studio or any o those. Is over 100 episodes of content. I just don't see those studios taking a long term project like this.

I expect a watered down adaptation. We're in 2020 where everything offends everyone. Can't imagine them adaptating Chocolove's backstory in a faithful manner without pissing offthe snowflakes.

Unlike hunter x hunter which is popular, I really can't see a studio justifying adapting the full show of shaman king. It will most likely get one season and that will be that.

on top of that, it will likely be a rushed adaptation like mostly shonen re-adaptions in the last years (Ushio no Tora or Karakuri Circus).
There is also the possiblity of being a CGI adaptation which would basically ruin the whole franchise.

80 is way too many imo, especially if you consider it the minimum instead of maximum.

FMAB had 64 episodes, for a comparison. Captain Tsubasa had 52. JoJo never surpassed 50, and Part 4 and 5 got 39 each.
These are not random examples btw, but all action shonen manga of comparable length to SK that got modern, no-filler remakes/adaptations in recent years.

Many factors could influence the number of episodes, but a very generous estimate (based on chapter per episodes in those other series) would count SK at around 70ish episodes top. Then you have to consider how many action scenes there are and how many action-heavy manga chapters could fit into a single anime episode (and the answer is "it depends, but usually a good number").

On top of all that, it's also a risky project that can't go overboard with numbers, so I'd count the episodes based on cours/seasons pre-defined numbers, assuming they can't stretch it too much outside of those boundaries. That's why my guess is between 50 and 60, maybe almost reaching 70, but nothing more.

Okay if we are comparing to FMA, it's manga has 108 chapters (they have more pages than SK ones so let's have 2x multiplier) then 216 and it's adaptation had 64 episodes. That makes it ~3.4 chapter per episode. Now we have Shaman King with 300 chapters so doing same amount of material as for FMAB we have a value of 88 episodes. You're right that reboots mostly adapt more chapters than normal anime but come on, 5-6 chapters per episode? That sounds rushed and looking at studio making it I don't see a point in having such crazy pace on it 🤔

LOL what? so what your saying is you never even seen or heard of Shaman king,all I can tell you is that if you think HunteXHunter is quality work the same is said true for Shaman king, especially Yoh the main character,his the kinda of character you never see in today's media ( I think he was unique even back then ) and judging the show "because of studio" is a lazy excuse.

I think the pace will be extremely fast. The anime industry nowadays wants as much manga chapters as possible every episode. Making anime is too expensive nowadays I think...

My guess is 50 episodes.

It says studio Bridge on MAL and they did 150+ episodes on FT so I’m hoping Shaman King gets that kindof treatment. I’m just hoping whatever studio finally does end up adapting it does a proper adaptation of the true ending. Remaking the same plot would be damn disrespectful (and pointless since we already got one) so the studios are hopefully thinking of rebuilding it right.

It was already confirmed the remake will adapt the complete edition/kanzenban of the manga so you shouldn't worry about changing stuffs lol.

Yet so many other (worthless, in my opinion) shonen NEVER even slow down and get filler pumped into them nonstop, or trash like the Pokemon anime that has zero point and goes on forever.

I can think of so many things that could be adapted with the resources from all that kind of stuff alone.
Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on.
Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time.

Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always.
