Shaman King- Flowers

This page alone makes the entire chapter worth reading.

Tao Men must be the most awesome character.

Yepp! The sequel to Shaman King is born! (Just like I predicted)

AND OH. MY. GOD.

THE. FREAKING. COOL. SHAMAN. KING.

Oh, wait a minute. Wrong picture.

There you go. How awesome is THAT.

Okay. So that’s it for the pictures. Review.

Nothing much can be said about the very first chapter of this sequel. From the looks of it, both main characters, Hana and Tao Men are rather hot headed. I’m quite expecting a more cool headed kid to enter the scenes and level the playing field a bit. What originally set Shaman King apart from the rest of the manga was its set of unique characters with interesting personalities. Oh, and who can forget the awesome Over Souls and the unbeatable Spirit of Fire?

Slight reminder of how the Spirit of Fire looks like. Butt ugly. But kick ass.

So yes, no interesting personalities have been spotted in Shaman King Sequel. Also, I’m not personally fond of the fact the Amidamaru is back as Hana’s sidekick. I mean, is it really that hard to create a new spirit for Hana? It’s ridiculous that he has to use the same old spirit as his father.

However, honestly speaking, for manga such as Shaman King, the possibilities are limitless. Come on, you have a freaking fictional spirit world. You can have all the adventures you want! But if this sequel wants to make magic happen like its predecessor, it will need more than ordinary fighting scenes and a fresh bunch of skill sets, heroes and villains. In other words, a not-so-extreme makeover.

Hope to see more!
