One of my problematic fave shounen is back with a sequel and honestly? I liked it. Tonally it fit with the previous series. The characters were easy to root for including Hana, who might annoy some viewers. It balanced darkness and comedy well. However, there were still the detriments from the original series to contend with like how it handles other cultures and underage relationships. The speed of the narrative also seemed a bit too fast in places and when the thirteenth episode finished, it felt like it wasn't the right stopping point for a first season and maybe a 24 - 26 episode firstseason might have brought us to a better stopping point. That said, I appreciated that it didn't do a Boruto where you get hundreds of episodes of filler. I also like that the main plot is engaging and has me intrigued and willing to watch more. If you liked the original series and you like sequels that align more with Dragon Ball Super, which captures the tone and theme of the original while transforming itself into its own thing, then I think you'll also like this anime. If you had qualms with the original story or don't like it when the main character shouts ever so often, then you might want to skip this.
Shaman King in 2024 is a very weird case, On one hand, the deep nostalgia of the OG really gets to you, those were undoubtedly unforgotten times, but then again, upon viewing the 2021 remake, lots of points were lost, what a horrendous adaptation that was for the most part, some very good highs yes, but also, some of the blended adaptations you could ask for, the ones where it would have been better off not existing. Cut a few years forward, we get a Boruto-esque epilogue series that tries to be something more than overstays its welcome, enter, Shaman King: Flowers. Who asked for this?Seriously; We have seen so many times how the Boruto trend does not work well for the parent series, especially for stories like Shaman King where the previous show perfectly summed everything up into a well close-ended finale that did not need to branch into anything else. Let's start with the characters, Hana, as a protagonist really differs from Yoh, while the former was calm and chill, this new mf can't take a break, he's angry all the time, very emotional, way too hot-headed, he's more like Ren than Yoh from a certain perspective, not to mention, the old cast, now being grown up, all seem very generic adults not contributing anything massive to the plot, almost as if the whole Shaman thing was child's play and their adult selves got no time to play and mess around like before, the new cast is even blander, aside from they whacky designs that stick out, they offer nothing impactful, not even a decent flashback. I'll admit though, although from the start to the middle of the season, nothing felt like happening, it was as if everything was stuck in a time loop where the plot did not move forward, the same villain-of-the-week-esque vibe over and over again until some answers were given, and the scale of the story became clearer, and with the introduction of some new characters, it felt way more interesting of a plot, I'm not gonna lie, I wished for this trainwreck to end all the way up until the last few episodes were I wished there was a sequel already ready to be binged. Yet again, animation and voice acting, both were so generic, felt so cheap, decent enough to keep looking but nothing to gloat about. The OP and ED were fine I guess, but man, nothing else can save this adaptation, unless the plot continues on the track of the last arc. Overall: 6.78/10.
