the old version focuses on the story and the progression of the characters, the new one focuses on th how the characters currently are and shocking value and cuts the main point. I haven't seen the new version yet, but based on what you said it sounds like it
Once again, thank you so much for this series. It's remarkable how much of a letdown this remake is and how it was able to feel so much worse than the original anime. Even ignoring the fact that they screwed up characters, scenes, and moments, the visual presentation of the show is just incredibly dull on it's own. I've yet to see a clip comparison where I prefer the newer take. Funny how Rurouni Kenshin is by far my favorite anime/story of all time, and yet if my first experience with the series had been this remake I probably would have just dropped it after a few episodes because of how uninteresting it is.
@thewanderingsamurai1150 it's just like Shaman King 2021, the characters are out of character, pacing is dull, presentation is very cheap, the old anime of both series feels more like a true adaptation of the manga than the remakes themselves
@@misterhimura036 Crazy too, because these new remakes are the ones that are supposed to be more “manga accurate”, and instead just become soulless and forgettable.
@@misterhimura036 I like the fact they are continuing it, but it feels rushed to the main point of the series instead of showing rather than telling us
I pretty much agree. The excessive exposition, bland perspective angles and the still frame poweropoints are part of the reason i haven't kept up with reboot. This kinda feels like a checklist of subplots vs. an actual npassion project. At this point I kinda just want to see how the climax of the Kyoto arc will be handled and to see the Jinchu arc animated. Even then I'm probably won't be impressed considering how underwhelming the clicps i've seen of the Saito fight was in comparision to it's 90's counterpart.
The reboot is boring and ugly to look at. Both could be subjective opinions but i stick to them. A manga or comic book isn't a movie nor is it fully animated or filmed show. Directly copying a book or manga doesn't translate to a good show. Moving images are something drastically different from a still image on a piece of paper.
This. This is something that nobody in the anime community takes into account when they ask for faithful adaptations. A manga is different from an anime, so the anime will have to make changes in order for it to work in the new medium. The art will have to look a bit different, the story will have to be changed, at least a little bit, in order to flow correctly.
the way an adaptation which does good is HXH 2011 which captures all of the characters like the original, unlike these new versions including Shaman King that puts too much attention to the action, main character and it's dailog
With Hunter x Hunter, like with Fullmetal Alchemist, I'll still say the original adaptation is better, but both remakes are still great productions despite not hitting the highs of the originals. They do their job in adapting the unadapted chapters mostly well, making some mistakes in already adapted portions. Shaman King remake is mediocre, as it clearly only exists as a launching point for Shaman king Flowers adaptation. This looks straight up bad, not awful but pretty boring. I don't know if I care to see the unadapted chapters in this style. I'd even say the Jojo part 3 ova is much better than the modern adaptation in parts it does adapt, but that one is so abridged that even if some parts are worse the modern version wins for not skipping some of the best parts of the manga. If the ova series was longer, it would have won no competition.
i discover your channel via the fullmetal alchemist videos, you do a great job, your narration is calm and smooth and goes to the point, i wanna hear your thoughts on the animated movies this show has, keep the great work 🫡
I always saw this mini-arc a little uneven, i mean after Jinei, Tokyo Arc kind of falls flat (except for the Oniwabanshu fight) until the Kyoto Arc. Ironically despite the remake cutting the filler the pacing feels a lot more tedious than the 90s anime and manga. Just like Shaman King 2021 is boring and dull for only being a copy paste of the manga but worse.
@@soul8648 thank you! I loved the 90s fillers and certain episodes actually added development. Not to mention that by the time the Kyoto arc rolled around it feels like we’ve lived with the characters more.
So far i agree with you. I wonder Is the manga good? I don't wanna be dissapointed like i was with Shaman King source material, i've watched both animes and i wanna know if the original story holds up because the remake did a poorly job to present me the characters and plot.
I personally didn't enjoy the manga too much, but I did like it more than the new anime and I can see the charm in it. The artwork is nice and the comedy is a lot better at least.
Personally I'll steer clear of the manga for the reasons of the author. At least both anime were adapted by different people. I don't feel comfortable reading the original now.

Thanks for all the kind words. And yeah I'd love to cover the movies if I have anything interesting to say about them of course.
@@etheri0n959 Any thoughts on new episodes of Spice and Wolf in the future?
Planning on covering it

I agree that Jinei is the peak of the Tokyo arc, but the Sekiho revival mini-arc was brilliant in the original anime
that's why it feels eh BECAUSE it cuts the fillers which actually adds to the 90's version sometimes it adds more
@@soul8648 thank you! I loved the 90s fillers and certain episodes actually added development. Not to mention that by the time the Kyoto arc rolled around it feels like we’ve lived with the characters more.
@@thewanderingsamurai1150 at least I found someone who agrees that fillers SOMETIMES helps
@@thewanderingsamurai1150 this is why some scenes of the new adaptiation seem dull

That's perfectly fair
Btw we have reditt community if you wanna share your thoughts
Oh thanks for the offer, but I don't use reddit. And I'd just like to stay on RUclips for now.
