D. Gray-Man vs. Shaman King

[Benderama]

Has anyone seen both of these series? Is it just me or are they very similar?

I thought that Shaman King started off really strong and ended kind of weak. But so far I would say the opposite of D. Gray-Man it seems to keep building and building and getting better and better.

I agree but I think the art style in shaman king seemed to be geared more to children where as D. Gray man is more mature. Personally I like D. Gray man alot more.

That may be so, but bleach has a very similar art style to D. Gray and it is clearly aimed towards children as well. I think the art styles have more to do with time than with audience. I think it has been progressively getting better.

Vampire Hunter D 85
DB 86-89
DBZ 89-96
Flame of Recca 97-98
Berserk 97-98
Trigun 98
Shaman King 01-02
Naruto 02-07
D.Gray-man 06-Present

I got a little lazy in my time line, but I am sure you get the point. A lot of these a kidsy but I my mind is in no mood to remember other anime that I have watched in a sitting after I downloaded it so one that I watched over time came to me first. These are also better known ones. But, I think you can see a general trend of increased artistic ability for the most part.
