Studio Bridge was the anime production company for the 2021 Shaman King. And many fans believe that the anime has horrible pacing issues, especially in the latter half of the series.

Since Bridge is returning to produce the sequel, fans are skeptical. Few other fans worry about the anime since there are few manga volumes. They believe that the series might soon run out of source material.

However, these are only speculations, and we have to wait for the anime to air and give it a chance before we jump to conclusions.

About Shaman King:Flowers

Shaman King Flowers is a manga series by Hiroyuki Takei and a sequel to the original Shaman King series. The story remained incomplete due to the magazine’s sudden cancellation until the new series Shaman King The Super Star. An anime adaptation of the manga will air in January 2024.

The series centers around Asakura Hana—the son of Asakura Yoh and Anna—about 14 years after the Shaman Fight in Tokyo 2000. Hana has grown up to become a lazy and brutal kid. He does not care about his studies, skips classes often, gets into gang fights, and feels very bored of his everyday life. All that changes when members of the branch Asakura Family—Yohane and Luca—arrive to challenge and kill Hana and his father Yoh to take their place as the main house
