Netflix is listing new episodes of the new television anime of Hiroyuki Takei's Shaman King manga for release in India on May 26. The company is also listing Wit Studio's original anime Vampire in the Garden for release in India on May 16.
The new Shaman King anime premiered in April 2021. Netflix began streaming the anime in India alongside its worldwide release on August 9. Netflix is currently streaming 38 episodes of the anime in India. The season ended with 52 episodes on April 19. A sequel for the anime has been green-lit.
Netflix describes the anime:
Medium Yoh Asakura enters a battle tournament held every 500 years, competing with other shamans in a bid to become the all-powerful Shaman King.
The anime adapted all 35 volumes of the original manga's new complete edition, which Kodansha started publishing in print volumes in Japan in June 2020. The first anime adaptation of the manga premiered in 2001.
Joji Furuta (The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of The Commandments, Uta no Prince Sama Maji Love Kingdom, Double Decker! Doug & Kirill, ēlDLIVE) directed the anime at Bridge (Fairy Tail, The Royal Tutor). Shoji Yonemura (Pokémon franchise, Wave, Listen to Me!) was in charge of the series scripts. Satohiko Sano (Heybot!, Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun, Talentless Nana) designed the characters. Yuki Hayashi (My Hero Academia, Haikyu!!) composed the music, with King Records as the music producer. Masafumi Mima was the audio director.
Takei launched Shaman King Flowers — the sequel manga centering around Hana — in Jump X magazine in 2012, and he ended it in the magazine's final issue in 2014. Takei then launched the new Shaman King The Super Star spinoff in 2017, although he put it on hiatus in September 2021. Kodansha publishes both manga in English.
