Shaman King

[Joker(Div)]

What chapter (in manga) does the anime end at?

 

[Sim]

The Anime's end is not the same as the Manga's end.

 

[Joker(Div)]

o.0; How much did the anime change? I guess I have to start from chapter 1..

 

[Sim]

It's actually very different. I suggest you read the manga if you're done watching the anime.

 

[Joker(Div)]

I'm guessing that the anime changed the ending to give the series a complete stop.

 

[Sim]

Not really.

Spoiler

The anime does end, but it doesn't also in a way. The oracle bell rings, signaling a new upcoming Shaman Fight because there was no "true" Shaman King.

They changed the ending also because it is a TV show for kids, while the manga is aimed at teens and is rather long, complicated, and stalling (But Still Great!!!). An overly complicated story won't work with kids.

...Reading manga takes longer than I thought. Took me 4 hours straight to get through 140 chapters...

Spoiler

The whole "died and become stronger" concept was getting a bit lame, but meh. Hao is fucking invincible, wtf? o.0

I skipped the first 70 chapters because the anime covered those pretty well, I think.

 

[Sim]

Yep, the anime and the manga's beginnings are quite similar.

 

[Joker(Div)]

Finally! I got to the latest chapter. Damn Im such a nerd. Thats aboubt 6 straight hours dedicated to Shaman King

[Sim]

> Shaman King Chapter 282 Release!



-----------------------------------------

Chapter 283 released!

 

[Sim]

Chapter 284 released!

Enjoy, naturally.

This was the first "true" final chapter of Shaman King.

There is now a 285th. But with the reprint volumes upcoming, Takei will add some more chapters to really end the manga!

...soooo... it ended in 284?

or is the real ending in the upcomming 285?

in hope for a climactic battle...

 

[Sim]

Chapter 285 released!

This is the closing chapter of Shaman King, for now. Not very long, too...

Enjoy!

May discussion start from now on!

 

[Joker(Div)]

>:O

So sad the author closed Shaman King in such a rush. Yoh and others never got to Hao and we don't even know what happened to all of them

So so lame.

 

[13lade619]

EDIT:

Spoiler

to say the truth, that was extremely lame... the final chapter didnt even show a glimpse of yoh and the others...

I already told people that Takei is writing a new ending for Shaman King in this thread.

Problem is, it will only and ever be in Japanese.

Unless someone translates it by himself, but Takei doesn't intend to.

 

[13lade619]

i've created another thread for takei's and stan's work (Ultimo).

the problem is it's totally fresh so only 1 chapter exists online as of now.
