As interest in the reboot increases, newcomers are clamoring to understand the hype behind the franchise. With such a rich history behind the manga, anime, and creator, there is plenty for fans of all backgrounds to discover. Here are just a few facts you may not have known about\u00a0Shaman King.<\/em><\/p>\n

10 <\/span>The\u00a0Creator\u00a0Of Shaman King Is Hiroyuki Takei<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Like many anime series, Shaman King started as a manga<\/a> in 1998. It was released in Shonen Jump between the years of 1998 and 2004. After several years of success, the manga saw an anime adaptation. What many don’t know is the author behind the phenomenon. The author is Hiroyuki Takei, a mangaka of over 20 years. As a child, he loved\u00a0Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure,<\/em>\u00a0Hellboy, <\/em>and\u00a0American comic books. It’s thanks to these mediums that he came to pursue a career in manga creation.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Shaman King First Aired In\u00a02001<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While Shaman King<\/em>\u00a0(2021) is returning to anime’s foreground, this isn’t the first time the series has adapted. The first anime adaptation of the popular manga started in 2001. It had 64 episodes and aired on Japan’s Tokyo TV Network from July 2001 to September 2002. It was released alongside the manga, as it was incomplete at the time.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>1998’s Shaman King’s Ending Didn’t Align With The Manga<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Because the original\u00a0Shaman King (2001)\u00a0<\/em>anime aired<\/a> while the manga was still ongoing, animators caught up to the source material rather quickly. When this happened, the animators created<\/a> their own ending. Unfortunately, it doesn’t align with Takei’s vision. Studio Xebec decided to conclude the\u00a0series to give their fans a sense of closure instead of waiting for the manga to finish.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>The Reboot Aims To\u00a0Be Faithful To Source Material<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Over a decade after the original anime aired,\u00a0Shaman King\u00a0<\/em>is back. One of the biggest differences this time is that the manga is actually finished, giving those in charge a chance to follow the source material faithfully.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, after the feedback\u00a0Shaman King (2001)\u00a0<\/em>received, the team behind the reboot understands what the fans are really after. They’ve said that they plan to follow the manga more closely this time around, but only time will tell how their adaptation pans out. The series outline exclaims that they will adapt all 35 manga volumes and animate the true conclusion of\u00a0Shaman King.<\/em><\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Members Of The\u00a0Original Cast Will Reprise Their Roles<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Those who grew up with the original\u00a0Shaman King (2001)\u00a0<\/em>are sure to remember the fantastic voice acting that accompanied the incredible animation. It’s a cast that became synonymous with the product. It was so good that Takei made returning voice actors a condition of moving forward with the project. A large assortment of the original cast will make their return for the reboot, including Megumi Hayashibara, the singer behind the original opening theme and ending.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Netflix Will Distribute The Shaman King Reboot<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There’s\u00a0less than a week until Shaman King (2021)<\/em> airs in Japan, and viewers worldwide are ready. With the increased interest from western viewers<\/a> in anime, it’s unsurprising to see streaming services scooping up coveted series for exclusive rights.\u00a0With\u00a0Shaman King (2021,)\u00a0<\/em>Netflix has stepped in and acquired the rights, and the streaming powerhouse aims to air the anime later on in 2021.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>This Reboot Has Been In Talks For Years<\/h2>\n

\"Shaman<\/p>\n

Hiroyuki Takei’s\u00a0Shaman King (2021)\u00a0<\/em>has been on a wild ride for the past few years. In February 2017, fans asked if there would ever be a reboot of Takei’s magnum opus, to which he replied that it would only happen when a studio allowed the original voice actors to return.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, many of the original cast is back, and because of the current studio’s accommodations,\u00a0Takei seems to be proud of the direction this reboot is taking. The final product looks to be a worthy successor to the artist’s original vision from what has been shown in the trailers.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>He Was First Known For His Work\u00a0As An Assistant<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Shaman King\u00a0<\/em>may be Takei’s most popular work, but this was not his first foray into the manga and anime industry. His manga\u00a0SD Hyakkaten\u00a0<\/em>was so well received that it helped him get a job as an assistant to Nobuhiro Watsuki, Rurouni Kenshin’s creator. He was an assistant until his manga\u00a0Butsu Zone\u00a0<\/em>joined the lineup of\u00a0Weekly Shonen Jump.<\/em>\u00a0This was when his career as a mangaka truly began, and by working under seasoned writers, he was able to learn the trade tools first-hand.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

2 <\/span>The Reboot Is Animated By Studio Bridge<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The studio behind this highly anticipated reboot is Studio Bridge. This studio, founded in 2007, has several well-known anime<\/a> under its belt, including their most notable\u00a0release,\u00a0Fairy Tail.\u00a0<\/em>Regardless of how people feel about the story behind the animated series,\u00a0Fairy Tail\u00a0<\/em>boasts impressive visuals<\/a> and serves as an integral piece in Studio Bridge’s growth. It seems they were the right choice for this reboot, as it is the most beautiful project<\/a> they’ve churned out yet.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>A New Omnibus Manga Set Is Releasing Alongside The Anime Reboot<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n
