| So excited for this! I almost can't believe this is happening. |
| I feel like this reboot is unnecessary...not like it's gunna relieve the trainwreck of the manga lol. Not like Bridge adapting anything is worth checking out tho |

Genocyber said: I feel like this reboot is unnecessary...not like it's gunna relieve the trainwreck of the manga lol. Not like Bridge adapting anything is worth checking out tho It's SUPER necessary. Not only is the original's animation massively outdated making it hard for new fans to get into the series but they also butchered the manga cutting out/changing key scenes which is why fans have been wanting a remake for almost 20 years. |

| Yoko Hikasa doesn't fit for Yoh at all. |
 |
| Well, a reboot is always the best alternative. Unlike Digimon Adventure: (the 2020 version)... |
 |
| So looking forward to this. Was really into Shaman King as a kid. |
| Don't know what to think about the new art style, but I'm pumped to watch this! |
| Tired, always tired! |
