Anime production:
Takeshi Furuta (Utano☆Princesama Legend Star) is returning from the last anime to direct the anime at Studio Bridge. Shoji Yonemura is also back as the series scriptwriter, while Mayuko Yamamoto is replacing Satohiko Sano as character designer.
Takei launched Shaman King Flowers—the sequel manga centered on Hana—in Jump X magazine in 2012, and concluded it in the magazine's final issue in 2014. Takei then launched the new spinoff Shaman King The Super Star in 2017, though he put it on hiatus in September 2021. The new Shaman King anime premiered in April 2021. Netflix began streaming the anime worldwide in August 2022. The anime had a total of 52 episodes.
Finally, the anime adapted all 35 volumes of the new complete edition of the original manga, which Kodansha began publishing in print volumes in Japan in June 2020. The first anime adaptation of the manga premiered in 2001.
