On 'Shaman King', they call Manta Oyamada 'Morty'. They call Tao Ren 'Lenny'. They call Bokuto no Ryu 'Rio'. They call Sha-Wen 'Shaolin', and Lee Bailong 'Lee Pairong'. They pronounce Tao Jun and Bason wrong. Who made this? Whoever did obviously didn't read the manga.
The only episode I watched beginning to end was the one where Yoh, Sha-Wen (Shaolin), and Amidamaru fought Lee Bailong. I didn't have a big problem with this part, but it wasn't as funny as in the manga: Manta (Morty) runs away from the battle to find a sword for Amidamaru. He finds a wooden sword, a bokuto, but gets stopped by a gang, and Ryu (Rio) saves him.
This is what should've happened: Manta still runs around, and still finds a bokuto, but the owner is Ryu, who's followed by his own gang. After consulting his conscience and his shoulder-demon, he begs for the sword, and gets hit by Spaceshot and Apache, Ryu's near-deaf stooges. He gets a bloody nose, and asks again. They hit him again. Looking even more beat-up, Manta pleads with them one final time. Ryu smashes him into a wall, and Manta lays seemingly dead. Ryu and his gang walk away, but the nose-bloodied, scratched, and bruised Manta leaps up with his heavy dictionary and whacks Ryu. Convinced Manta is a zombie, the stooges and Ryu run off, leaving Manta with the bokuto.
That was long. Anyway, these guys gotta make the anime more like the manga.
