- In the outskirts of Tokyo, we had the chance to spend a day in the studio of Hiroyuki Takei, the mangaka behind the world-renowned Shaman King series.
We dived into his evolution as a mangaka, the behind Shaman King and its sudden cancellation from the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and the new turn the series is taking, more than 20 years after its first release.

Idk whwther I can draw pretty well at age 20 (im 17 lmao😐)
This guy is freaking Yoh in real life lol. Then again he admitted the main character was sort of a projection of himself.
@@figuringitout796I love Yoh ❤
Akira Toriyama had no money to buy a juice so became a mangaka.
The only guy in this world who can appear like the most humble person while having a Ferrari and a Delorean in his garage.
:)
I wish was he was poorer so he could compromise with remaking the animation.

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.
Здорово чувак
@Shaman Xeed everything he said is correct
Эммм в отличии от Наруто и Луффи, у Ичиго есть мозги:)
И Блич тоже базируется в реальном мире:)
Well ichigo was different compared to the people you mentioned. He was the only one who was down to earth character
SHAMAN KING BROTHERHOOD WAS ANNOUNCED RIGHT NOW TAKEI THIS MOMENT IS OURS!!!
i wonder why this show up in my rememdation...oh well wait to buy used figure for cheap since og one is too expensive compare to normal one..
Brotherhood lmao xDD
🤣😂 not Shaman King: Brotherhood
Let's freaking go.
it's not called shaman king brotherhood
He’ll probably never see this but I want Hiroyuki Takei to know that he made one of the coolest fucking manga of all time. 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.
Thank you so much, Takei-sensei, for creating one of my favorite manga. Keep making cool things.
Im watching it on tv as a kid, but unfortunately it stopped middle way but seriously the art is so cool
The ending though
I used the name MARU when I used to go out tagging because of shaman king 👑
I was literally about to say the same thing. Shaman King was one of my favorite anime to watch as a kid. I feel so sad that he thinks it was a huge letdown. I wish I could have hugged him through the screen honestly. He has so much talent!
thank you for representing us so well deserved
Shaman king is beyond underrated. Series literally got me through depression as a youth
Me too. (I mean “me also” not that MeToo).
Honestly these series helped me regain my ability to have faith in myself.
same here
what happened when you reached volume 32?
Me too.
Brought me my life philosophy and helped me keep balance as a child growing up. Could never thank Takei sensei enough for what SK did for me.
When he said that Shaman King was a series that is being looked down on it breaks my heart to hear that. I never felt that Shaman King was a loss but cheers to Hiroyuki Takei-san keep up the good work and you will reach your dreams of putting your series on the top.
the manga is great (collected it when it was published back in the days) but the anime adaptation (the latest one) isn't very good, the adaptation doesn't do the manga justice
I've watched this interview multiple times at this point. Every single time it has made me cry. Hiroyuki Takei-sensei has been an immense inspiration to me and I've been watching/reading his series ever since I was a kid. Popular or not, I want to say a wholehearted "Thank you" to him even if he never reads this comment.
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 just want the original Shaman King to get animated. Ana's story was beautiful, and Shaman King is one of the few manga to actually get the chance to have a good ending. Yoh is also a very unique main character. I hate that it just faded off.
CursedUsername I’ve been praying for a shaman king to redo the anime like hxh 2011 especially the yoh hao it felt very rushed and under budgeted
@@Manganization there was an offer for the whole series to be animated for the 20th anniversary but Takei shot it down. He wanted the original anime cast and they couldn't promise that
Nazdrovie same here.. SK fans waiting for new series!!!
@@Manganization where can i read that stuuuuffff?
Shaman King is pretty popular in north africa (algeria, morroco, tunisia and egypt) it’s a shame it didn’t get the recognition it deserved. I hope one day you’ll make a portrait of kentaro miura.
We do get this request quite often, it's a long shot, but maybe someday hopefully...

Absolutely

I'm sorry...But why does he talk as if he is a nobody? He is a bloody legend!!!
Japan way of talking and living
japan's wisdom & humility
Also a passionate artist never thinks very highly of themselve
it's only in america where speaking loudly and boastfully makes people think you are competent. in countries like japan speaking loudly makes people think you're stupid.
@@elizabeth4689 it does make America look stupid though.
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.
Where you from East European Brotha?
I am from Romania, Agree with everything you've said
i remember when they had ended season 1 on Jetix I couldnt wait for season 2 and each time the last episode of season 1 aired i was so hopeful that this time we get the actual continuation instead of episode 1 rerun. The pain was immense. but then finally it happened and we got season 2 gosh my excitement! Loved shaman king.
Now if you are a woman, marry me please! :D :P Not everyday I meet a person, who adores both LOTR and "Shaman King"!

Who still remembers the Shaman King intro to this day? That was a banger back when I was still in school.
Let there be light! Revive ass hole!
Look around you. Look Beyond. We can form an Unbreakable Bond!
The world around you is not what it seems so revealed beyond your wildest dreams
So many things i never could see
so many choices falling on me!
Could It be my destiny... to be Shaman King!
Shaman King.......saved my life! No exaggeration in this statement. I truly believe that I would not be here right now (at 26 years old) if it wasn't for this amazing story that he wrote. 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. I truly hope that Hiroyuki Takei is aware of how many lives he touched with his story as I'm sure I'm not the only one.
No, you're not. :)
What happened?
@@pedrovasconcellos3346не так что то с твоей психикой, а у автора с историей всё в порядке

武井先生ありがとう。
When he says that Shaman King is a belittled series, it breaks my heart. It is one of the most important manga for me and even today I would love it to be released with the official ending in my country. I wish I could send a letter to Takei Sensei and say how much Shaman King is still loved by me and other people in Brazil.
Same~~:( I always wanted to send that letter, or visit him just for cheer up & thanks him for all what he did in our childhood...he seems to don't know SK really worth it!

TODAY IS OUR DAY, MY BROTHERS
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.
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.
i took loong breath and asked my self what is meant to be '' making cool things '' ima gonna grab a pen
You are really something dude.....I follow you from over a year now....you keep amazing me....of course he is big deal but you are a big deal too
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.
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.
These are the words that I couldn't put it correctly. Thank you for this great comment.
SK The Super Star is fucking great.
Red Crimson was amazing.
I'm thoroughly in love with the new generation of Mankin.
The announcement of the new anime make me comeback to watch and recommend this video again, it makes me so happy for Hiroyuki Takei!! He will finally understand that this series has a special place in every one of us, and he can prove it to the new generations. It would be amazing to get a follow-up video once the anime is out to see his opinion and perspective about it.
Same here dude.
absolutely agree
I was so hyped by nostalgia that i even bought the whole anime for DVD.
Yes!
If Hiroyuki Takei could read that, I wanted him to know how Shaman King was one of the first mangas I've bought and have it until today. I love that series and I wish it had more love. Here hoping that one day they'll make a proper remake of the anime. Hiroyuki-sensei, you are the best!
They almost made one but he declined.
@Shaman Xeed One of the reasons why he refused was two reasons. The voice actors and the JAPANESE soundtrack from the old anime. Yeah, do you see a problem with his comment?
Nitwit's World I give him credit that he thinks the original cast did such a great job that he would want everyone back, that’s respect. However I do feel that’s limiting his creation. He did say that he used create to have fun for himself and not his readers and regrets having that mindset. He also said that he wants to prove that shaman king has a place in the shone world, so I hope he learns how to compromise with a new anime adaptation. I also wish him luck with his new projects
@@MPW2012 Ye' man, he said he wanted to prove Shaman King was good, and he got an offer from MOTHERFUCKING MADHOUSE and he rejects it, fucking hell man, I can't think of many others studio that can make a work of quality like Madhouse, that was his chance to jump back to popularity and he soiled it, let's hope we get a new series at all.
I said with a broken English.
@@NoxSuperNova ehh I'm ok with him skipping out on madhouse. If that did happen, 9/10 they would've only given us a 12 episode season, then make us wait four years only for another studio to finish it up
Shaman king is very popular in my country, i didnt know it was being looked down by others.
where are u from
Same here, from italy
México here.
French here_was my favorite shonen at 16.
Indonesia too
It breaks my heart that he thinks people look down on Shaman King. The series blew my mind as a kid and opened me up to thinking about things so much differently. I have so much love in my heart for Shaman King
I see no reason for Shaman King to be underestimated, it is a type of stylized art, I personally think it is a very good work with a lot of quality, the anime has very colorful art, this type of stylized art pleases fans who know that mangas don't need to be realistic to be good, greetings Hiroyuki Takei!
I want to live in a world where Shaman King gets the FMA brohterhood treatment :(
Why though? The anime is pretty awesome
@@avrhamcom it's really not.
we almost had one but his dumbass turned it down because they couldn't get all the original voice actors. So you have the Creator In This very video to blame as to why we don't have a new shaman King anime
@@avrhamcom because the anime does not follow the manga all the way and comes up with an incredibly lame original ending. From your comment it's pretty obvious you're an anime only guy. Go read. The Manga Has Amazing Stuff past that point and a cool ending
@@DTakeshi93 I respect him for wanting the original voice actors to return.
Shaman king is very popular in the spanish world
Do physical copies in Spanish exist? I've been trying to find this series printed in Spanish for so long
Ojalá lo vuelvan a sacar junto con los nuevos como en Francia y Alemania
@@xrichie7924 I have all the original 32 volumes in Latin American Spanish by Editorial Vid in México :) they exist.
@@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.
@@Lamadrigueradelconejoshow Thanks for that summary. This is a good time to be alive as a spanish comic consumer.
*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
I hope Takei-sama will see this message

This man is a legend. Shaman King is a masterpiece. I'm 28yo and I revisit this series once in a while and each time it brings something new into perspective. It is so deep and profound and spiritual and nostalgic. Thank you so much,Sir, for bringing these characters to live!! If you think these series wasn't successful, look closely, cause it touched the hearts of people who needed it the most, the real kind hearted people, like yourself! Your mind and soul are exquisite! 👑
Shaman king has always been a positive influence on me ever since the very first time I read it. I'm so awed by the art as well he's just a great artist.
This man is literally the creator of one of my fondest childhood memories
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.
So Humble, even after the cancellation of his Series, Takei Sensei you will always be one the founding fathers of my inspiration.
I still haven't seen another Villain pull a Hao and never lose
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.

his calm and humble voice, his passion for his work. Poetic, inspiring, beautiful.
Takei-san, you underestimating yourself too much. You are one of the greatest mangaka and Shaman King is one of the greatest that Jump ever had. Hope this message goes to you, big love
15:20 that "I just want to make cool things" line, with the joy of creating something in the next scene, while being in and out of the Manga industry, and still being cool and joyful about it, is what made me have respect for this guy... he is a true visionary, and above all, he is the meaning of a CREATOR! Not for the money, not for fame... just for himself... and that people, is one of the hardest things to achieve... to fight your ego, even tho you know you could make great things, just for the love of pure art... Salut to this Living Legend!
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.
Six years of weekly chapters with close to no interruption, and suddenly having to rethink everything in order to finish at a fixed date :(
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.
武井さんの絵も、考え方も、着眼点も、現実にあるもののアレンジのしかたも大好きです。
中1の頃からずっと大好きです。

Thank you so much for your work!
My favorite "hero" from Jump's history has always been Yoh. Since was a child I have always thought how weird was to have a shonen protagonist wishing to just relax and have peace. Now is one of the most compelling characters I hve encountered.
I guess we just need to wait for the next Hiroyuki's work.
Thanks for watching, we're also curious to see what's coming next!
Takei has finished "Nekogahara" some times ago, and now he's publishing Shaman King The Super Star (while "Jumbor" is in hiatus)
As someone who wants to become a mangaka the idea of my series losing popularity and getting cancelled is terrifying. He had to deal with that while being under the pressure of weekly releases and having a family to take care of. This alone deserves respect.
シャーマンキングに出会えて本当に良かった。いつもシャーマンキングの漫画を持ち歩いているぐらい大好きです。多分この先、この作品ほど好きになる漫画はないと思う。
I love shaman king so much..
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.
Try reading the SK manga. Its completely different from the anime at a certain point in the story. Merry Christmases
Try reading it
amidamaru in to the sword
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.
This dude is what lofi would look like if it was a person, chill,playfull,modern yet very nostalgic
the philosophy of this manga, shaman king its so relateble for this heart, the journey to find the meaning of life, the struggle to keep tight of principles whatever it takes,,, i love the story, the messege, the characters and the ending,,, i know i learn a lot about the life and how to living,, i feel this manga its the beginning of my journey to find my self and have confidence thats everything will be alright.
thx hiroyuki takei sensei 🙏

こちらこそコメントありがとうございます〜
Thanks for watching!
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
This video feels like a fever dream of a memory someone had in another life, it feels like there is such sadness, regret, nostalgia and other emotions in this man (the music, and empty place filled with memorabilia helps too) Reminds me a little of "Johnny Cash - Hurt" music video. Like he would welcome the end somehow. I hope he get's to live a good life to the end, i really enjoyed his Shaman King manga when i was younger.
I hope better, but that song, is a pretty high standard, and is similar.
I don't feel the sadness in it. I feel more of "I am at peace with myself and what I did".
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.
It might be so. I never noticed the change in tone... or I just like manga with tonal shifts. But I agree of Shaman King being avantgarde, I think you really hit the nail there.
And well the anime wasnt a good adaptation. Suff like HxH blew up cause the 2011 anime
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
Thank you for your comment, cheers!
Скольких же людей его произведение изменило к лучшему. Даже жаль, что Хироюки не знает как его любят и насколько благодарны ему за его творение. Спасибо всем кто приложил руку для съемки это видео
Yoh is my favorite protagonist in anime history
Shaman King will stay one of my favourite mangas forever. It have some kind of magic that pull me back.
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.
Shaman King anime confirmed for 2021!!!!! Who's celebrating? You deserve this Takei-Sensei!!
シャーマンキング 一番好きな漫画
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.
If only Hiroyuki Takei knew how many photos I took of his Shaman King's manga and panel...Cause the draws and the lines are beautiful...
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.
Dude thank you so much for this. I now understand Takei so much better (realizing that basically he was yoh all along.) I'm just glad that he's determined to prove ppl wrong so everyone please read his current series Shaman King :the super star!
NEW SHAMAN KING ANIME COMING APRIL 2021!!!!!! THANK GODDD!!!!! IM SO HAPPY FOR TAKEI!!!
Thanks for watching!
theres also Shamen king:Flowers which is the sequel to Shamen king
@@latintiger right! Read flowers first then "the super star" which is the continuation of flowers basically.
Long story short, read everything shaman king related, 'cause it's the best thing on this earth
*Shaman King tiene un amplio grupo de seguidores en toda Latinoamérica,es realmente popular y también muy recordada como una serie genial,la favorita de muchos diría yo* ♥️🔥
Solo puedes leer Shaman King en línea? Porque estoy buscando para los libros físicos en español pero es muy difícil
@@xrichie7924 exactamente,bueno en mi país casi no llegan ejemplares del manga,y si lo hacen son caros y no llegan completos así que los voy leyendo en línea,aunque en las últimas entregas como Red Crimson aveces ni está traducido a español o inglés :'(
Sip
@@xrichie7924 solo se de 2 editoriales en español que lo publicaron VID que cerro hace años aun se pueden conseguir pero si salen caros e Ivrea tenia los derechos pero debido a que Takei se cambio de editorial hubo no se puede seguir editandolo :(
@@xrichie7924 en mercado libre los venden de la editorial VID, ahi deberias pedirlos
Shaman king deserves a BIG shout out!! It was my childhood. To bad its really underrated though
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
Man i read his manga when i was a child.
Yup still remebering their fight againt Hao
I’ve been a fan of Shaman King and Hiroyuki’s style for a long time so this is really special!
Thank you so much Archipel and merry Christmas! ⸜(๑'ᵕ'๑)⸝ 🌟
Thank you, happy holidays to you too!
for me, shaman king is one of the best anime I have ever watched.
He has an incredible studio and his assistants work at home, are they crazy? I would kill to work in that place.
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.
Well,you both got a point.
Just live in the studio smh
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 ?).

A huge generation of Russian children like me grew up on Shaman king. We love Shaman king very much, even after years I re-read manga with pleasure. This manga made me a responsible and honest person and pushed me to draw. Yoh Asakura my idol for life. Thank you, Hiroyuki Takei! I love you and your manga!
Аминь)
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!
I love this man. Shaman King had a bigger emotional impact on me as a kid, more than DBZ or Naruto. I hope to meet him one day to thank him.
A notification from Archipel is probably the best xmas present. Thank you for this and all the amazing work you gave us this year, i'm always looking forward to whatever this channel uploads.
Thank you, much more to come next year hopefully. Happy holidays!
This is a very good video
Очень вдохновляющее видео, спасибо за такую работу! Заставляет задуматься о цене успеха, своих стандартах, мейнстриме и о вещах, которые люди впоследствии запоминают на многие годы вперед и ценят. Когда анонсировали новую каноничную экранизацию манги - для меня это было отдушиной: "Наконец-то в мире что-то случилось заслуженно и по-справедливости". Время расставит всех по своим местам. Такэи - отличный художник, его дизайн персонажей до сих пор будоражит. Возможно, манга местами и отдает некой "детскостью", но идейно она великолепна, и самое главное очень честная. За это автору и спасибо!
I've loved shaman king since I first read it. the art style was always more relatable, and had such a cool vibe to it. i actually found this today because i was looking for some inspiration, and this was perfect. Thank you for making this.
武井先生のファンになって早20年。やっぱり貴方の作品が好きです。マンキン展、行きます。
コメントありがとうございます！名古屋展まであと少し！
I really hope they let him do his Shaman King anime remake with the original voice cast as he wanted.
NONE /Dragon, I wish he thinks about the fans and let the animators revive the series with or without original voice actors.
maybe if im not mistaked one of original voice actor was gone.
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 !
Thanks for your comment!
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 :)
Now Shaman King will have it's second chance to shine with the new anime in 2021
Wow, didn't expect the author of such a classic had this vibe. He's amazing and should be proud of his hard work ☺️❤️
Agreed!
Shaman King probably has the most personality in its characters second only to One Piece. Those characters are so memorable that I may not remember all their names, I remember how they talked and played off of each other.
yeah coz they under the same wing of samurai x sensei
he is great artist!
Жаль автор не знает сколько у него фанатов в Азии, все страны СНГ любят его творение! Он должен знать что у него миллионы фанатов по миру, у некоторых в своё время даже не было интернета чтобы рассказать это
МЫ ЛЮБИМ ШАМАН КИНГ!!!
ЛУЧШЕЕ АНИМЕ ДЕТСТВА!!!
огромная благодарность авторам дубляжа, шикарная работа! От опенинга до сих пор муражки!
Shaman King was such a large part of my childhood and grew my love of anime exponentially. It made a huge impact on me. Thank you Hiroyuki Takei for creating such a wonderful story and world
Hi everyone, I feel around family writing this, as it's christmas as well, I remember watching Shaman king when I was a kid.
Hiroyuki Takei, if by any chance you get to read this, you made people happy with your work, and damn if I wasn't happy when I read that you are preparing for your next solid series. Salute everyone, and long live Shaman King
Thank you, it's amazing to see people from so many countries sharing the same passion for Shaman King :)
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.
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.
I still have a complete set of Shaman King in my bookshelf and sometimes i just read it again because it was so good! ahh such a good memories. Thank you for showing the man behind the work. this gives me a lot of insight of how he create his works and his ideology. i really appreciate it.
and damn his studio is so cool
Thank you, and yes, the studio is amazing :)
