Art

Art: The art in this anime was very well done. There weren't any items/characters that you didn't have an idea who or what it was. The characters were original, and smooth looking, with a good deal of time spent of accurately representing facial expressions, locations, and the like .

Rating: 9

Sound

Sound: to tell ya the truth, I don’t really remember much of the music, except for the occasional “pump-the-audience-up� song near the end of the series when a lot of action was going on. I really thought that song was cool, but If I can’t remember anything else, there either wasn’t anything else, or it didn’t merit mentioning .

Presentation

Presentation:
Overall, the presentation of “Shaman King� was a very good one. It caught my eye, (1 point) it kept my attention (2 points) and it even made me want to make a wall of it (100000000000000 points) So if you are looking for a good anime to keep your attention, and something, to just watch In the meantime while waiting for manga from Naruto or something, check this series out, it’ll definitely take some time to finish it (around 25-30 hours of anime for the whole season) and on top of that, it is enjoyable. GO GET IT NOW! .
