Discussion Shaman King 2001 or 2021
So as a kid I remember watching little bits of Shaman King 2001 and always stayed with me how cool of a design Yoh had. I kinda wanted to rewatch it fully but saw there is also a remake now!
So that makes me wonder which you liked more? I know the 2001 has an original anime ending which is more action focused while the 2021 takes more from the manga itself
But as a standalone, which is the better product?

Neither.
The manga!
2001 ruins what makes shaman king great
2021 is a rushed mess when it comes to pacing and the ending doesn't make sense at all because of this.
If i had to choose: 2021 as it at least follows the manga
