Shaman King

I saw the first episode when i was like ten on jetix. Yes all the good stuff was on Jetix. that’s why it’s dead now.

So, there are ghosts, there are witches, there are zombies.

Yoh is a kid who happens to be a shaman. He is engaged to be married to Anna. Yes they’re both thirteen and no they don’t get married in this show. I think it’s an arranged marriage. i didn’t pay much attention to that.

Shamans see ghosts and they team up with them. They train together to win in the Shaman tournament. the grand prize is something huge! seriously.

Yoh is a chill kid, lazy but has a good heart and is smart.

Anna is a witch (a shaman too) with great leadership skills (notice how i didn’t say bossy), very organised, very powerful and scary AF. She’s my favourite character. She genuinely cares for Yoh. They do make a cute couple.

Morty is Yoh’s best friend without any magic abilities. He sees ghosts, he’s a sidekick. Very smart, very good.

Zeke is Yoh’s twin brother that of course wants to rule the world and has to be stopped.

Here’s the theme song (so awesome, still)

 

It’s an English anime series adapted after a manga series. I haven’t read the manga but loved the anime.

It’s got ghosts, it’s got magic and it’s got humour, what’s not to like?
