Shaman King is a series that means the world to me and has become a huge part of my identity. I named myself Asakura because of Yoh. I collected every volume of the manga. I bought every video game I could get my hands on. I even started collecting the figures. Your style and characters are some of my favorite in all of manga and I can’t thank you enough for creating this series that I love so much.

In Russia and ex-Soviet countries Shaman King is often remembered with nostalgia even among those who doesn't really like anime or manga. In is a part of our childhood and youth. Yoh Asakura is different from Naruto, Luffy, Ichigo or Goku, because he isn't some hot-blooded guy with no brains. The setting is the real world, which is also doesn't often occurs in the shonen manga. It has some thoughts on the human nature. If Takei only knew how loved is Shaman King here, he would have a little better opinion on himself. And new adaptation is coming! It is a chance to change everything.

I just started crying while reading the comments too, Shaman King manga actually saved me from my lowest depression points so many times. This is the story that will always be the dearest to me.

This interview felt so somber for the most part, but his line at the end about proving that Shaman King deserves its place gave me the biggest grin, and seeing him laughing afterwards was especially uplifting. Shaman King was the first manga I started reading in the first issue of Shonen Jump I received, and it's always meant so much to me. It used to be up there with One Piece and Bleach in my eyes, even though its popularity eventually dropped. The series is basically on life support now and Hiroyuki Takei is clearly having a tough time, but hearing that he'll put his all in his next work fills me with hope that he'll really pull it off. Shaman King fans like me still exist, and we'll always be rooting for you!

I am beyond thrilled and excited for the new anime adaptation and cannot wait to see this masterpiece. For such an underrated story to get the Brotherhood treatment is the most amazing thing.

It's very popular here in Latin America too

Shaman King was and will remain one of the most vivid memories for those who grew up in the early 2000s throughout the post-Soviet space. Ask any twenty-year-old guy or even a girl about what they did every day after school as a child, most will say that they ran home so as not to miss a new episode. The first anime for many of us. What we have never seen before. The story and the characters who attracted attention and limitless child imagination. As I got older, I discovered the original manga and found out the true ending. I was shocked. I could not believe that the very heroes of my childhood actually lost and that the main villain won. I understood that it was more logical, even the characters themselves understood that there was no other way, and yet they managed to do everything possible to save the world. I still dream of a possible remake of the anime series, but I know very well author’s thoughts about this idea and will just keep these hopes in my heart. Anyway, I will be happy because I will have a wonderful tradition of doing two things once a year: to rewatch the Lord of the Rings trilogy and re-read the Shaman King manga. Thanks to Hiroyuki Takei-san for our happy childhood. Thank you for teaching us that it is always worth looking for good in people, even if others refuse. Thank you so much for the wonderful characters and the exciting story. But most of all I thank you for Anna. P.S. And of course thanks to the Archipel channel for this video.

How can a short interview go to the depth of a person in 20 minutes ? It's incredible, and masterfully edited. I loved it. Thank you all.

Yoh is one of my favorite characters of all time, his words of wisdom often resonate with me so much that I still use him as avatar eventually. Shaman King was one of the few mangas I bought an entire collection and I also respect the fact that women characters didn't have oversexualized designs and were often treated with due respect. It's a great manga, really underrated.

TODAY IS OUR DAY, MY BROTHERS

My all time favorite manga. Shaman King taught me a lot from shounen, but it also taught me that Shounen doesn't have to be senseless fighting or too juvenile. It introduced me to characters I loved, hated, appreciated and accepted, due to their different points of view and in a way... it introduced me to philosophy and ethics. I remember reading interviews of Hiroyuki Takei how he would talk about the characters as if they existed. It was funny to me because I thought that too... they felt real even though I knew they were not. If you are willing to open up and look at the right places, you will see that Shaman King has a certain quality that no other manga has. It has heart, sincerity and a soul even though he doesn't realize it. It gets cynical at times, but in cyniscim there is always a ray of hope in a way that is believable. I have nothing but respect for this man right here. If he was making things for having fun himself, I am thankful for that. If he was trying to do something different, he got it. If he felt like he was losing grip of what he wanted to do, I am also thankful for it because it gave us Kang Zen Bang. Shaman King has had a special place in my heart and was, is and will always be the manga that introduced me to things I will never experience in any other manga. I also wished that he would release a Seinen manga to pursue all of those dark notes in Shaman King but if he wants to give it a try once again with Shounen manga, hey, I am sure he can do it. I am sure he is able to do it! PS. Shaman King Flowers had a lot of potential, don't lose grip Takei-sensei! PPS. I love this man.

his calm and humble voice, his passion for his work. Poetic, inspiring, beautiful.

Shaman King was my first anime/manga...I was 9 then. Now I'm 26... I will always love it. To this day I still love the art and characters. I would love to see it as a series. It deserves a reboot, it is incredible.

I live in France and here Shaman King has been the gateway to the world of manga for many young people. I don't know how it is perceived in Japan but Hiroyuki Takei should be proud that his manga had such an impact abroad.

*Hiroyuki Takei-sama; i wish you could know that you were the man who opened my eyes to the world of manga and that my life has been directly influenced by the philosophies of Yoh. when i was a 12 year old boy nothing in the world could've compared to Shaman King and till this day i am still completely captivated by your artwork and the way you've portrayed character development. in my personal opinion Shaman King is tied for JoJo as the greatest anime series of all time, (i realize that alot of people would disagree with me, sadly) but i have read every single page of every single manga that this man has ever created.... He is the only mangaka in the world that i have given myself the opportunity and time to go through their whole body of work, and it is well deserved. it is a god damn fucking shame that Hiroyuki-sama isnt revered in the industry as one of the greatest of all time along with his counterparts from that era. i wish i was able to articulate my sentiments towards this man in a more profound way but it is one of those things that is so close to my heart that human words could NEVER do it justice to explain the way that Shaman King makes me feel or the devoted love that i have for it. I fucking love you Hiroyuki Takei-sama and i will forever be indebted to you for the influence you bestowed on me as a young man. He will never be forgotten and someday, when i have children i will show them Shaman King because i believe that it is important for the next generation of manga/ anime lovers to know this mans greatness and appreciate him in the same ways that i do. You will forever have a place in my heart, soul, mind, and family Takei-sama. I revere Hiroyuki in a way that i could never have for another man. This series was special and a once in a life time experience to be a part of. You changed my life Hiroyuki Takei, and i wish i could repay the favor to you as well

@@xrichie7924 there are at least 3 spanish editons of Shaman King, one is from Spain (I think editorial Glenat which is now defunct), Mexican edition was published by Editorial Vid and Editorial IVREA publishes the series in Argentina, though the thing is the publication stopped when the Shaman King property changed publishers in Japan from Shueisha to Kodansha. The first two editons are sadly out of print, and hard to come by.. But it's very likely going to get republished in Mexico "soon" (This is only my guess, but the last edition is from like 2003, it's a very popular title and lots of other franchises like Dragon Ball, Rurouni Kenshin, Death Note, Yu Yu Hakusho, to name a few have been recently reprinted here in Mexico), so that would be your best bet.

Desde España te digo: Takei, nos distes una buena infancia gracias a tu obra, cuyo anime fue emitido durante el 2003 de forma integra y de ahí pasamos al manga, es cierto que nos dejaste con las ganas de ver el verdadero final, teniendo que recurrir a versiones no oficiales en internet, pero en 2021 con el nuevo anime y la nueva edición Kazenban, le estamos haciendo un homenaje a una gran serie que hemos sabido valorar y que ha calado mucho en nuestra comunidad.

ファンになって10年余り… 初めて先生のお声聴けました… 青森の原画展行きます… 月並みですがずっと応援してます。マンキンずっと大好きです。

He looks less like a mangaka and more like a hard laborer. I love it. It's such a contrast when he's sitting chainsmoking in a bandana and ratty tshirt, and then sits infront of this super modern iMac setup

You can really feel the fatigue when he brings up having to a come up with a new ending after being told Shaman King was getting cancelled.

for me, shaman king is one of the best anime I have ever watched.

I think the reason that Shaman King doesn't get the "respect" that it deserves is because sits on the duality of both mainstream and avantgarde. The plot and world-building may seem like a great set-up for a shonen show but it goes way deeper than that in terms of spirituality. At the same time though, the series would pull some eyebrow-raising moments through its plot beats, which I think alienated some readers. There was also an inconsistent tonal shift midway. This duality of not finding itself in the mainstream and being in the "draw what I wanna draw, don't care about the readers" mentality that Hiroyuki said himself in the video, might be the reason why Shaman King finds itself in an interesting place.

As a lot of people here, Shaman King is a huge part in my life. I read the manga every now and then with the same thrill as when I first read it. Watching this video made me want to fly to Japan to meet Takei and give him all my thanks for what he did for me (for us, for the manga world). He's a wonderful mangaka, what he said in the interview is exactly what I feel about his work. For those who didn't know, he gave Shaman King a proper end (not every country published it, sadly), a sequel, "Shaman King Flowers" which are now named "Shaman King The Super Star" cause Takei Sensei left the Jump edition to Kodansha edition and two prequel, Shaman King Zero, a serie of one shots about the main characters and Shaman King Red Crimson. Shaman King The Super Star and Shaman King Red Crimson are prepublished in the Shonen Magazine Edge, every month since 2018. For the French fans here : Shaman King va être re-publié en double volumes chez Kana (Shaman King Édition Star) à partir du 17 janvier 2020 (dans 4 jours donc). Cette édition nous proposera la VRAIE FIN de Shamin King (celle qui n'a été publié que dans quelques pays, souvent en version numérique seulement) dans un volume 17 contenant l'équivalent de 3 tomes en terme de pages. Ce 17 ème volume sortira en même temps que le Tome 1 de cette nouvelle édition (donc oui, dans 4 jours, le 17 janvier) - ce qui permettra à ceux qui ne souhaitent/ne peuvent pas racheter toute la série d'avoir accès à la vraie fin sans avoir à attendre la fin de la publication. Notez cependant que Takei a repris bon nombre de dessins de la version originale, donc si vous avez les moyens de vous refaire toute la série, ça ne sera pas de l'argent gaspillé. (J'espère qu'ils auront retravaillé la trad qui pique les yeux et fait beaucoup de contre sens). Et à partir du mois de mars 2020 Kana commencera à sortir Shaman King Flowers, la suite donc, en papier et en français. Comme les contrats ont été renégociés avec Kodansha, on aura probablement Shaman King The Super Star à la suite (ils se permettront peut-être même d'harmoniser les titres ?). Toutes les infos par là : www.kana.fr/shaman-king-star-edition-extrait-chapitre-1/#.XgIXtfzjKUk And for all the fans, here, the link for the Discord group, if you want to chat with other Shaman King fans all over the world, or just stay up-to-date with news about Shaman King and Takei : discord.gg/Gtax3Zr (On y a un salon en français, pour les fans français qui auraient du mal/peur de s'exprimer en anglais sur un serveur :D)

Shaman King will stay one of my favourite mangas forever. It have some kind of magic that pull me back.

In my younger days, I was 14 or 15, I was dreaming to meet Hiroyuki Takei... And ask him to make a very giant poster of Yoh Asakura I really love yoh, until now. Even, I make some account with Asakura or Yoh name 😂. My flashdisk name is YOH till now (I'm 29 y.o). Yoh is carefree yet thoughtful... His wisdom "everything is gonna be alright" gives an optimitis vibe... I'm re-reading again this manga, and how deep the story and the values Hiroyuki sensei wants to give... I never collect manga befor, but Shaman King is one and the only one :)

Never forget, first anime with a Lamborghini mecha transformer angel

I'm a big fan of Hiroyuki Takei. Shaman King is an amazing work, full of subtleties, a truly captivating manga. It's the only closed kanzenban collection I own here, and I'm proud of it. Thank you so much Archipel! Greetings from Brazil

I feel so bad, Shaman King was one of my favs when i was a kid and made me want to draw more and practice manga. I still come back to it to this day.

The man went from being a father as a 20 year old, to have one of the greatest Shōnen Jump manga of all time to suddenly drawing manga for Stan Lee. The man's an underrated manga icon.

he is a legend for me, shaman king is a great manga in every version (the normal one and kanzenban), the way he tells stories in the manga is very unique, the ambiance, the expression, and the drawing itself felt so interesting. shaman king is one of the best manga I read in my elementary phase, and I am so lucky to have stumble upon this manga. wish you all the best hiroyuki takei san

Same. Shaman King is quite different from other shōnen manga.

For me Shaman King was my dragon ball. It's a shame i was the only one who watched the anime and was sad it ended that way. Only to realize it has a manga When i turned 13 and read it all through and waited eagerly till I got to the last chapter. Thank you for giving me a world to experience and love. Keep doing what you love and I fondly await flowers to return and i am reading through the spin offs.

Shaman King getting a new anime for 2021, Hiroyuki sensei We still Stan you and are excited to see your full story adapted for us older fans and the new generation to see this gem of a series!

Shaman King anime confirmed for 2021!!!!! Who's celebrating? You deserve this Takei-Sensei!!

Hearing him get down on himself has me wincing a little.. Shaman King was never a favorite, but it’s definitely a memorable piece of my childhood. Even just watching the silly 4Kids dub, then eventually picking up the GNs whenever I had birthday or Christmas money, I knew there was something unique that had been brought to this series. It’s spiritual, yet has these “cool” western sensibilities. Brutal, but full of humor and warmth. Mainstream-ish, but decidedly its own thing. It’s been said that the best anime and manga bring elements from outside the medium to strengthen their storytelling, to humanize their characters and experiences with a wide breadth of what the real, peopled world has to offer. Takei is definitely among the ranks of creators who excel at this. Shonen manga is better for him, as were my awkward middle school years.

Maestro Hiroyuki, si algún día le llega este mensaje (por más que este en español). Quiero decirle que su obra es una de mis favoritas, latinoamerica le tiene un cariño muy especial a Shaman King. Y todo lo que quiso expresar en ella me llego de corazón. Su manga tiene un lugar muy especial en mi biblioteca (así la versión Kanzenban no fuera traducida,) y así mismo en mi niñez. Solo le debo gratitud maestro Hiroyuki Takei

God bless this man. He reminded myself and mu misstskes from my youth. Lucky me, I'VE learned a lot from pain.

he is great artist!

I had just recently started watching Shaman King again, but this time in Japanese with subs to get the true feel of the anime (since the english version is edited). I had only watched it in English (the first time I saw it I was either 7, 8 or 9 years old). I truly believe Shaman King is overlooked because its unique. It doesnt have the style or structure of a typical shonen manga, Yoh as the main character is proof of this. Yoh is calm, relaxed and wise while the standards of main characters for Shonen (at the time SK was serialised) was the opposite. One Piece's Luffy is a example. Nowdays shonen main characters are versitle (Izuku, Tanjiro, Emma, Senku, etc). If SK came out today people would appreciate Yoh as a Shonen main character more. Shaman King is my favorite anime, I want to thank Mr Takei for making such a vast world of interesting characters, while using a unique idea of Shamanism. Yoh and Manta's friendship, the silent love between him and Anna, and his and Amidamaru's bond are the best things about the series for me. I truly hope Shaman King can recieve a remake for the anime, and for Mr Takei to be able to write his true story. Thank you Mr Takei for creating Shaman King, it inspired me to create a story of my own to share someday. I will also support his next project. Merry Christmas everyone.

Shaman King. My favorite manga of all time. The philosophy in this series is something to remember for a life time. Not to mention as a manga, it probably had the most racially and nationally diverse cast of characters in any manga... ever.

This is a very good video

This was such a great interview ! I've actually never seen Hiroyuki sensei live before, and it was such an eye-opener ! I love how he mentioned he didn't wanted to make an untertainment, but actually wanted to spread some wisdom to the audience. He's indeed got a very close personality to Yoh. I can totally picture now how this character came to be. It was basically him in his twenties. This manga was also among my favorites in the age between Naruto and Bleach, but at some point, I could see it started collapsing under its own weight. Now with hindsight, I feel sad that I got tired of it in the end and never got to finish it. So I never knew he actually didn't even get to finish it ! The show was cut ! Now I'll have to rewatch the entire run (it's been almost 20 years !) With his final ending (I'm glad he got the chance to actually finish it under his terms a few years later) ! Also, the segment where he talks about how he got such a big best place for getting lots of assistants to come and learn and chill all together, like in good old times, and now it sits there completely empty because as the age changed with Internet, everybody is now working from home. That part completely depressed me ! Here's a man who lived his youth through the camaraderie in the studio of one of the most famous mangaka of his time, Nobuhiro Watsuki, the author of Kenshin the Vagabond, working and chilling with some of the soon-to-be most influential mangakas of our era, and now having made it big and being able to recreate that for himself in his own studio, the age changes, and this period of time he tried to recreate for the next generation just vanished into thin air in front of him... Heavy stuff ! But he seems to have adapted himself, which, kudos to him, may have actually brought him some needed peace. I wish him all the greater things to come for whatever comes next to him, either in his career and his life. Happy 2020, Hiroyuki sensei !

Now Shaman King will have it's second chance to shine with the new anime in 2021

I live in Argentina. My first contact with his work was trough the anime adaptation. And I think is an underrated GEM. I know Shaman Kings isn’t as popular as some other shonen. But who cares. He created and incredibly world, full of very interesting characters, a great story, an amazing mix of cultures and religions... what he made, what he envisioned... it’s outstanding. I bought the manga when a publisher from my country bought the rights. Unfortunately, in the middle of publications he changed publisher so the manga here it’s been in the fridge for two years or so. I had to finish it on internet. Regardless, I HOPE, WISH someday we could have a faithful anime adaptation of the manga and maybe (this is wishful thinking) a movie. I grew up with Shaman King. Thanks for make me believe in your world, Takei.

Wow, didn't expect the author of such a classic had this vibe. He's amazing and should be proud of his hard work ☺️❤️

Most people working in the lower levels of the hierarchy can't afford the rent for Tokyo, so they live further away. One to two hours commute per way isn't unusual, so I can relate with wanting to spend more time at home and with friends - especially considering that Japanese people tend to put in long hours. After 10 hours of work I wouldn't want to spend another 2-4 hours in traffic.
