I'm not entirely sure where I stand with this new version of Shaman King given that the original show has such a banger of an opening theme and was an equally decent show, this new one already had the deck stacked against it. But in fairness, it's not overly terrible, it's not overly amazing either but I digress. The story is okay, art equally so. The sound design and music is pretty damn good all things considered but the characters seem to be a noticeable step down from the original show, a shame since I’m getting a ridiculous amount of enjoyment out of this one.
Overall, I’d recommend viewing this one with significantly lowered expectations but I guess we’ll have to see how this one improves.
