Shaman King (Season 1)

Shaman King (2001) is an action-adventure fantasy anime you can watch online on iFILM. Once every five hundred years a star streaks across the sky to announce the Shaman Fight, a tournament whose winner merges with the Great Spirit and gains command over all life on Earth.

Yoh Asakura is an easygoing teenager who can see ghosts and battles alongside the spirit of the samurai Amidamaru. With friends Manta, Horohoro and Ryu at his side, he fights through the qualifying rounds toward the finals. Standing in his way is Hao, an ancient shaman and telepath who has lived across centuries and dreams of wiping out humanity to build a world of shamans alone. He has been beaten twice already, returning stronger each time — and now he has reincarnated inside Yoh's own bloodline as his twin brother.

Animated by Xebec from Hiroyuki Takei's Shonen Jump manga, the series runs 64 episodes. Fights here turn on the bond between a shaman and a spirit rather than raw power, which gives the combat a flavor you don't get in most shonen. Stream every episode of Shaman King (2001) online on iFILM.
