Shaman King

Asakura Yoh is a shaman, a person who communicates with ghosts. He enters the Shaman Fight, for whoever wins the tournament gets to commune with the Great Spirit, God... that and his fiance Anna wants to be the wife of the Shaman King. Helping him are his friends Manta, Horo Horo, Ryu, and his samurai ghost partner, Amidamaru.
The rating is for the series as a whole. The first part is much more interesting and is the only reason I completed it. The later I got the less logical the shaman power becomes, and [spoiler]the end answers exactly zero story-questions[/spoiler]. So while I do like the characters and their dynamics, the more I watched the less I liked it, and with [spoiler]the ending being more a season cliffhanger than series ending[/spoiler] it kinda lowered the rating even more.
_(Now to re-watch Hunter x Hunter to see if the characters are as similar as I remember them... Edit: They are.)_
