Tuesday, November 28, 2023, saw the official website for the Shaman King Flowers anime series begin streaming a new commercial, which revealed the ending theme song for the series. The roughly 30-second-long television advertisement spot features several characters from the series, offering no particular focus to any one character.
With this latest announcement and the Shaman King Flowers anime’s looming January 2024 premiere date, this is likely the last major pre-release news fans will receive. However, fans can likely expect additional casting announcements to be made throughout the season as additional characters are introduced to the series.
The Shaman King Flowers anime series serves as the sequel to the 2021 Shaman King anime series, which is a readaptation of author and illustrator Hiroyuki Takei’s original manga series. The series was first adapted into a television anime series in 2001 but ended after one season with its own anime-original ending, which was different from the canonical manga conclusion.
Shaman King Flowers anime is all set to premiere on Tuesday, January 9, 2023, following the latest news
As mentioned above, the new promotional video for the Shaman King Flowers anime from the series’ official website revealed and previewed the opening theme song. Sumire Uesake, the voice of the character Alumi Niumbirch in the actual series, is set to perform the ending theme song, Dear Panta Rhei.
