Utena_Tenjou Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 Sorry if this topic has already done. -_-; I'm just wondering if any ones seen the anime AND has been reading the manga in Shounen Jump, if you have, whos your favorite character? Mine's Yoh and Horo Horo. :D
DeathBug Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 I've been reading the manga and will pick up the graphic novels soon. I'll try to watch the anime when it comes to Fox Kids this fall, but I hope it's not at the same time as Yu-Gi-Oh. Personally, I like Amiardru (SP?), but not enough other characters have been introduced yet to pick favorites, IMO. Ren seemed like a good villain, and the fiance-girl looks very interesting.
WW2 Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 What do you expect? The American producers have to edit out all the violence, bad language, and mature situations, because those type of things don't happen over here.:D As for Shaman King, I've been reading the manga and have to admit its pretty good. I really like Amidamaru(sp?) and Ren's Chinese warlord guy. Thats about it, I don't like Yoh at all. I think he's just some stuck up punk with an atitude, who can't do anything on his own. But thats just my opinion:D
DeathBug Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 Fox Kids, not Kid's WB. Stupid difference, I know... However, if it's on FoxKids, it might get more exposure and gain more popularity in the US. *Shrugs* You never know...
Zen Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 Hey, i'm a fan of the Shaman King Manga. I'm scared and troubled though because there putting the TV show on Fox Box, and there going to edit out all the swearing and bloody awsomeness. What are your thoughts? P.S.- Me and Akki are planning to make a Shaman King RPG. Look out for it on the Recruitment page.:D
OtakuSennen Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 Heh. I really enjoy the manga... I, too, am worried about Shaman King editing... I mean, if it's on Fox Box they're probably not gonna pump out the uncut DVDs either.. :( However, it'll be fun to see how they cover stuff up.. Well, as long as we still have the manga, we shouldn't complain about the anime stinking.. Unless nobody here wants to read.
Zen Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 I know, it never had a chance to be awsome since its on Fox BOx. I wish it would be on toonami. If its on there it would have the uncut DVD's as did G Gundam, DBZ, and Outlaw Star.
Aya_Fujimiya_42 Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 I Love the Shaman King Manga... Sorry to Say It will end up Spliced and Diced.. and whatnot... Look what The Did To Escaflowne.. the First ep the USA saw.. Was Really The Second Ep... W/ parts of the First spliced in as Flash backs.....And what they Did to Sailor Moon....And Yu-Gi-oh...
Spikey Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 Yes it is announced to release Sept 6 at 11:00 am on the Fox Box. I'm not all that disapointed because the Fox Box has started to show some anime. For example Ultimate Muscle and Kirby and others, I just don't watch it that much.
Zen Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 There abviously showing animes that pertaine to a younger aydience, and Shaman King is deffienetly not that. They probably just took a look at it and thought it looked like its for younger audiences. I really wish Toonami would buy it like they did to Kids WB with Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh (i dont watch it though). It would be awsome on Toonami or Adult Swim, but adult swim is getting FLCL and Blue Gender soon.
Cyber E. Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 I haven't been reading my Shonen Jump lately so I don't know what exactly is going to be edited, but this show is aimed for an older teen audience (From what I've heard) and the 4Kids dub alone is going to be edited to an extreme. The show wouldn't even been safe on Toonami, it'd still have to make the TV-Y7 rating. -Cyber
ladyscorp2006 Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 they are gonna mess it up so bad it anit even funny. cn really should buy it then we wont have to worry bout them changing it so much. i swear why do people keep messin up all the good shows? i mean i was happy to see that they were putting it on tv but then i noticed i was watching fox. i feel sorry for creator of the magna to have it changed so much. but watching them cover it up will prob. be funny
Youko Minamino Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 Wow. Anyone who says swearing is getting edited isn't a real Shaman King Fan, and just trying to impress others by implying they've seen this series before others.
Zen Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 NO I'm NOT SAYING THAT. I'm SAYING THAT IT WILL PROBABLY NOT HAVE ALL THE BLOODY, FOUL MOUTHED GOODNESS AS THE MANGA DOES BECAUSE THE SERIES WILL PROBABLY HAVE THE SAME THING AS THE MANGA, BUT IT WILL BE EDITED ON FOX BOX! And i didn't have it on caps lock either.

(Well, the Ren/Yoh fight is really the only bloody Shaman King scene we've seen yet in Shonen Jump) But, considering it's all about ghosts and how The Shaman King can talk to god, they'll probably take out some of the religious references to be inoffensive. (I'm guessing..) Oh, and Ren swears a little bit, but really minor stuff they'd probably let slide on Toonami... Oh, and for the most part, all shonen manga is aimed more to the 12-16 demographic. Or around that...
Zen Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 That and Manta's foul mouthed complaining would probbly be cut out.
Youko Minamino Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 Thats only the manga that contains that blood. Not in the anime.
IckleKoth Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 I know i've missed every episode in SJ cept the first one, BUt Who In Their Right God Darned Minds Would WANT!! to cut Shaman King.If They're going to put it on something, LEAVE THE FRIGGIN VIOLENCE IN!!! That's what thew kids these days look for. What's tv without a few people dying, or some blood flying across the room? Aye..Aye??
OtakuSennen Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Youko Minamino [/i] [B]Thats only the manga that contains that blood. Not in the anime. [/B][/QUOTE] ..Wait.. So you're saying that in the original, uncut version of Shaman King anime that there is no blood? Hm.. That's interesting.. But then do ya think that in Japan they had otaku complaining on message boards about how the animators "ruined" Shaman King by not putting in the blood? Heh.. Just a thought.
Youko Minamino Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 No there is blood, but not so much as you will shout out, THERE WAS BLOOD. More like, "Hey a little bit of red stuff"
Japan Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 They are putting it on t.v.? Cool cool!!! I hope they don't edit all the good stuff out. I do read the manga, in Shonen Jump magazine though.
Zen Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 They are. Its going too be on FOX BOX and there going too tear it apart. It never even had a chance. Hopefully théy'll put it out on DVD uncut.

They've never really had an anime that [i]needed[/i] much editing, right? Kirby.. That Foodon thing... I doubt Sonic needed much editing. But, personally, I doubt it. FoxBox isn't really trying to get a wide array of demographics to watch their lineup.. They're mostly aiming for younger kids... But we shall see.
