I too am one of those that got to see shaman king air on TV as a kid.After remembering that i had no watched in addition to it being praised i jumped right in.Oh but what a regrettable course of action that was.

Story(2/10)(spoilers)
Basically there are shamans,people that can use spirits and every 500 years a tournament is held in order to crown the king of shamans.The story looked pretty classic, the good guy fighting the bad guy so i had hope, i had hope that the action might get better or that the main characters would get stronger but 25 episodes into the show is ... the strongest they ever got.Even so i watched the worst ending i have ever seen in an anime unfold,watched as the bad guy practically having become god get beaten by the miraculous power called friendship???

Characters(1/10)
To be fair there was some characters development taking place,until episode 20 that is.There was a certain amount of backstory to most of the characters in it but when the actual plot cant hold its own in terms of pace and growth, watching the characters backstory only made me feel so much more bitter about the story's progression.

Art,Sound(4,3)
Not much to say about art but it being the classic year 2000 art used in most of the anime aired then.Sound,not much to say about sound, well nothing special kind of monotone even but I cant really judge the sound when im already prejudiced towards the fights and scenes.

Enjoyment(1)
As the episodes went by and nothing changed i really started getting mad at the people that gave this abomination high scores.I hate everything this anime stands for even though it has nothing to stand for.

Overall(2)
I really believed in the potential of this i really did but i got let down and that
coming from a person who accepts most anime out there and mostly hands out positive scores this is the worst rating i have ever given and this is the worst,most meaningless anime i have ever witnessed.I hate it to the point that i had to write this review in order to stop people from committing the same mistake as I.
