here i am asking you a question

Okay, so this just happened… Hiroyuki Takei, the creator of Shaman King, the greatest manga to ever exist (a manga which got a pretty bad anime), was asked if he wanted the anime to get a remake (because it totally needed, like, 2/3 of the anime didn’t follow the manga, main characters weren’t shown, characters who had deep and important story arcs weren’t given the screen time they deserved *cough*Chocolove and Horohoro*cough* and a whole lot more of important moments were forgotten), and what does Takei-sensei does…

The man I respect as my greatest idol…

The man who created the best story, the best characters, the best universe in manga history…

…Refused to remake the anime because they couldn’t get the original Voice Actors crew!!!!! He refused to give the world, the greatest anime of all times because it wasn’t going to have the same VAs!!

And, yes, I know, this is actually a pretty big thing, even if the anime isn’t as known or liked as the manga, we, the fans, still watched it, and the voices were all great. So not having the same voices is kinda sad, but this is still something I can’t wrap my head around. This manga is such a huge part of my life, the characters and the story mean so much to me, it just doesn’t seem fair that we almost got a new chance, to make it right this time, and it was taken from us…

…I still love Shaman King, and my respect for Takei-sensei hasn’t faded in the slightest, but I really wish there was some thing we the fans could do to show him that we still want the remake even if the VAs aren’t the same.
