On Tuesday, November 14, 2023, the official website for the Shaman King Flowers anime series announced its January 2024 release date, opening theme song, and more. The news came in the form of a new commercial for the series, which is streaming online via YouTube and the series’ aforementioned official website.
The Shaman King Flowers anime series serves as the sequel to the original Shaman King anime, both of which are adaptations of author and illustrator Hiroyuki Takei’s original manga series. More specifically, Flowers serves as the continuation of the 2021 readaptation of Takei’s manga rather than the original 2001 television anime adaptation.
With this latest batch of news, essentially all significant release information for the Shaman King Flowers anime has been revealed, save for the anime’s ending theme. With the series set to premiere in a matter of weeks, fans can expect this information to be revealed sooner rather than later.
