So there's this kid named Morty who likes ghost stories, and all the other kids think he's weird. Then he meets a kid named Yoh, who turns out to be a shaman who can use the power of spirits to fight evil or whatever. I guess he's going to enter a tournament to become the next Shaman King, something that happens once every 500 years. Yoh partners up with the ghost of a samurai named Amidamaru, who died over 600 years ago. After a few episodes, this girl named Anna shows up, who is Yoh's fiancee, and makes Yoh do alot of training for the tournament. There's also this guy named Rio, who's the leader of a small-time gang. He fought Yoh a few times, got his butt whupped, and finally decided he wants to become a shaman himself. Anyway, I guess I sort of like the show, but I fell out of the habit of watching, and then it stopped airing anyway. Plus it was supposedly edited alot from the original version. Maybe if I got a chance I'd want to see the series uncut sometime, I dunno.
