'Shaman King' to get an anime reboot based on the completed manga

Popular anime show "Shaman King" is getting a reboot!

According to the franchise's website, the "completely new animation" is set to air in April 2021.

It is set to adapt all 35 volumes of the manga by Hiroyuki Takei, which was serialized in Japan's Weekly Shonen Jump starting 1998 until it was cancelled in 2004. In 2008, the manga was reprinted under the title "Shaman King Kang Zeng Bang" which features the series' "true end."

When it was adapted into an anime in 2001, the show eventually deviated from the manga's storyline as the chapters were still being serialized, resulting to a completely different conclusion.

This time around, the anime is going to be completely faithful to the original manga storyline.

"Shaman King" follows the story of Yoh Asakura as he competes in a semi-millennial tournament to become the Shaman King. It previously aired in GMA Network.
