Just Manga

I read some of those manga. Here are some summaries:

• Shaman King - (See Beginner's Guide) It's about Yoh Asakura who can see ghosts. His dream to become Shaman King, but to get that dream, he has to fight many shamans from around the world.
• Fairy Tail - (See Beginner's Guide) It's similar to Rave Master except it's revolves around magic and the concept of guild. Fairy Tail is about the adventures of Natsu Dragneel and his friends as they fight evil and defend their guild and friends. It's more lighter in heart and violence than Rave Master's manga.
• Ultimo - It's the combination of Shaman King's author, Hiroyuki Takei, and Spiderman's creator, Stan Lee. It's about robots who fight to decide which side is more stronger, good or evil. Dunstan who looks like Stan Lee created these robots to answer that question. It's similar to Shaman King due its concepts of reincarnation.

Hope this helps you.

Edit:

Oh! I forgot about this tip. Fans who read the early Fairy Tail volumes tend to mistake the drawing style for One Piece. It happened to me and lots of people.

@saoakden: I haven't read any of the ones yo're asking about but D.Gray-Man fits in with the other stuff you listed.

That's probably because they look the same. One Piece looks unique compared to other manga so it's not a case of both series using a generic art style or going with the norm.

@sickVisionz: Whats D.Gray-Man about? I never heard of it.

In terms of anime, it's like a non-political, Bleach-looking version of Fullmetal Alchemists, except alchemists are called exorcists and homunculus are called the Children of Noah. Everyone has unique fighting styles and magic powers and they run around beating each other up and causing chaos for the other group.

@saoakden:

Shaman King manga is definitely better than the anime because it has a true ending not an ambiguous one. You get better character evolutions and more action with the shamans and spirits as they develop more skills and variety to their Over Souls. However, the first Shaman King manga series ended abruptly. Don't worry, they have a Kanzen Ban series that features the true ending. It's like a revised version of the first series.

The first series has 32 volumes while the Kanzen ban has 27 volumes. I say read the first one then Kanzen Ban. It's a lot of reading but it's worth it.

I had fun reading it and filling out all 32 volumes' wiki pages.

About D. Gray-Man

It's about Allen Walker who is plagued by the death of his foster father, Mana. The Millenium Earl asks him if he wants to bring back his father to life. When the boy says yes, Mana came back as an Akuma. Mana asks why Allen did and he scratches his left eye. Allen's hidden anti-Akuma weapon awakens from his left arm and instinctively kills Mana.

Allen lives with the curse that his father gave him, and he uses his left eye to seek out Akuma and kills them in order to give the Akuma, salvation. He "saves" their souls. Most of the manga revolves around an Arms race between the Millenium Earl and the Noah against the Exorcist. The Exorcists have to find the Innocence and develop new ways to combat the Millennium Earl and his Akuma army.

(Akuma are like demonic entity made of dark matter. What makes them frightening is that they can hide in human flesh. That's why Allen is the only guy who can find and kill them easily.)

It sounds like an anime that revolves around religion, but the anime doesn't have much religion references to it.

Anime VS Manga

The anime had a lot of fillers in the beginning around 1-40. It ends in 101 episodes, I think. It's up to you to decide. I read the manga first then the anime.

Nice comparison!

You could say Akuma are similar to Hollows in Bleach.

Both entities evolved and become more humanoid and intelligent.
