What would you say is the best way to get into Shaman king?, The old 2001 version or the manga?
I usually do both but nowadays I'm finding it hard to watch anime and more inclined towards reading manga.

Is the manga the best way to experience this or should I watch the 2001 version first then jump over to the manga from the start? Help a fellow Shounen nerd in need 😂

Watch old series, it's very entertaining, and then read manga, you'll know what's what but it's more complex and dark, definitely skip new adaptation ;)

I found that the manga got very repetitive, especially towards the end, so it may be best to check out the original anime series first. If you're into it, then I'd recommend trying the manga, because it still is good.

The manga is way better than every anime version.

There’s no debate, the manga is much better in terms of characters and story compared to the original anime.
