Shaman King (2021) by studio Bridge, old one was by Xebec.



I think I like the new version, I like how new anime in general looks now. I hope they won't censure too much and no CGI

i like the old one since its more simple to draw or more animation friendly due to more straight lines so it has more sakuga that way and i remember the original got lots of sakuga

but Xebec is already bankrupt anyway

Retarded? I don't know what are you talking about, she looks beautiful 😶

BTW, I love everything. We really deserved this remake. The manga is so good, and I think the new anime will be great as well. I can't believe we'll finally watch it in HD, with the original designs and every character that didn't appear in Xebec's version. I'm so excited ❤️

both were faithful but yes this one is more faithful to what his art style is now rather then at the start. The old anime looks like how it looked until like the last few chapters

To be honest I prefer the new version. I still have no clue why people are bitching and moaning about the new designs when they basically look the same except that the new one is more rounded and has more detail

The way her eye goes over her hair just looks dumb as hell.

I mean that's fair but that seems more like a nitpick not something that makes her eyes retarded.+ her eyes are like that too later in the manga. It's something many anime characters have. I don't think retarded is the righr way just because it's made to be more visible.

No one is bitching and moaning, shaman king fandom isn't like that.

True it's been years the old voice actor probably couldn't return. it is what it is but don't worry I have faith in this voice actor. This voice actor voice is so close you almost can't tell the difference unless they scream trust me. Even the way of speaking is the same it feels like she was personally picked.

Same but I know it's the studio of fairy tail 2014 that took over fairy tail. And all tho I never finished that anime. I can say that it at least didn't look afwul from what i remember.

The old style and animation will always have a special place in my heart.

The new Yoh looks more like a traditional anime character (his face is more generic now) and not goof enough

I prefer older version

This is one of few instances, in my case btw, that I prefer the remake than the old one especially the character design.

Since I'm used to his old design in the anime/ manga, I will need some time to get used to the new mouth design but I absolutely respect their decision to remove the admittedly blackfacey lips.

I actually prefer the big lips. He doesn't look right with no lips. Black people have big lips, why must everything be considered "blackface" if the black person doesn't look like a white person?
He also seems lighter? He just looks off all around.
