Quotes:

[opening narration of the first episode, as a horn blows into the distance]
Morty: That was the sound of the last train back to my house. And once again, I missed it. Our English class always gets out late on Tuesdays, so I have to walk home. But that's OK, because I like English. And the walk home's not so bad. Usually.

Something Special

there is something very special about this cartoon indeed. that is no true shaman history at all....and I guess that is not about shamans basically. So! For those who considers he(she) can find it useful in study of a shamanism - not the right place. But for those who wanna see a very kind anime - you are on board. I have heard that kids really do accept everything from the cartoon as the pure and undeniable truth about the world of shamans.....but shamans predominantly do not get together in groups and they do not make competitions......anyway - as I said the most important thing in this cartoon is a friendship, love and backing up theme. Destiny and fight against evil at all costs - these are the basic aspects of this wonderful anime - surprising is the fact that this is anime that could be rated for kids of any age.
