Every 500 years Shaman across the world prepare to fight in the Shaman Tournament. Shaman are people who not only can see ghosts, but can merge with them and fight to become the Shaman King. One such shaman, a boy called Yoh, channels his ghost Amidamaru and enters the tournament. Along the way he meets new friends, enemies, and discovers something about his family he did not know.
Will Yoh channel the King of Spirits and become the Shaman King, or will the evil Hao rule the world?

I dunno what was so great about Shaman King that make it be so enjoyable. Yet this show proved that even anime for kids may be really good. I'd love to watch oryginal japanese version and read the manga. SK is certainly not for everyone. Mostly it is adressed to kids not older than 10-12 years, though I'm 19 and I still enjoyed it. There is someting in it. Maybe because I enjoyed DB so much? Still I think that it is worth watching anime for anyone who wants to spend good time and not worry about understanding every single conversation. It is a very good filler between more mature and complicated titles. If you've enough of RahXephon, EVA or whatever you're watching at the moment... just turn on Shaman King and have a good time... If you are one funny guy... you won't regret it...
