Crimson Thoughts

No, I'm not going to bitch around...of course I could...demo...

Yuji refused union with Hecate and did a Sailor Moon "I talk you to death"-thingie while Shana rescued him to tell him afterwards there's not enough time to help him out *cough* Yeah, I guess it was meant the way he must help himself, but it made me smile. The two other big battles could have been even bigger, but I guess I'm okay with that.
What I really can't understand is why Margery's storyline about the silver guy was totally forgotten and I'm angry about it. At least Shana used Blutsauger in the end. It would have been very stupid if she did not use it, the guys had such a fuss with delivering it.

All in all Shana was enternaining in various ways. I liked the music a lot and animation was light dreamy decent. There was too much/too less character developement, depending on the story arc. The episodes I enjoyed the most, one yould say I was in a Shana hype are those I did not blog about. There were good jokes, fights, everything perfect. The crash for me came with teh flashback episodes, but that's a question of taste. The ending was more or less disapoointing, too standard. Still a funride, so I'll be sure to keep an eye on PS2 and movie releases ^^

Battle in the Seirei-den

Hm, well, yeah there was some fighting, but I'm waiting for a really big clue, like...Shana gets to rescue Yuji but he answers "Hecate showed me what real love is, I'm evil now and will kill you" or something like that. Else it's going to be a weak ending for a so-so series.

Flickering Flame

Professor, what are all these cogwheels for? - I don't know, but doesn't it look cool?

I'm again at a point where the show gets on my nerves a lot. There was nothing new this time. It was clear Ane-san would come back and that Shana makes a desicion for Juji. It was only dramatic waiting and talking and preparing and *YAWN*
That's not how I expect the final episodes to be.

And all in all it's only about sex, what else. Yuji is "spreading out" and it "feels so good"?!?

Fading Thoughts

It seems I still have to wait for the decisive battle till next week and I can't stand that tranquillity anymore. Feelings are important, okay, but please, let the action begin.

Now we are at a point that was inescapable: Shana has to decide between love and 'job'. Now I understand Wilhelmina's part in the show, she has to remind Shana of her duty and stirs her feelings up. She does a good job and I dislike her even more ^^ ~ de arimasu.

My biggest critic this time goes against Yoshida. I'm a person who thinks love is the most important thing that exists, but she's so aloof of every form of reality it's unbearable. What did she think? Now that she knows Yuuji is the Meiji Reigo and stays alive the can go on dates and hold hands? I guess protecting mankind is a bit more important than that. Wake up, little girl!

Heartless Wilhelmina

I did not like Wilhelmina from the beginnig. She seemed coldhearted what she now shows off directly, her ~de arimasu is annoying and in now way cute, first she spoiled Shana to hurt her now and she's carrying around a vacuum cleaner in her bag...I guess there's no more I have to say.

This episode had dramatic potential and still felt calm. The calm before the storm! Also it had somehow the same feeling like the first episode, that seems like months ago. It's the matrix effect, just imagine you find out the world is not at all like you thought it is. Little Yoshida-san acts too normal after that great shock, imho. I don't know if I went for a walk with my dog if I new some evil guys somewhere want to destroy my love, my city....the world?

TRo already sum up Shakugan no Shana a bit it was a rollercoasterride with many ups and downs. I definitley won't rewatch it, but still it was an enrichment to my sunday morning breakfasts ( I just finished some rolls with scrambled eggs ^^). In the development of the series the focus swithced a bit too much on teh feelings of the protagonists and I'd like to have seen more of the things behind, but I still hope there will be some solutions and answers to my questions in teh final arc.

In the Midst of Battle

In my opinion this episode was mocking both - mecha shows and their strange unions when you ask yourself...WHY? And on the other hand I was reminded of typical old movie comic adaptions, where there's always an evil professor with his zeppelin *lol*

Crushing Hopes

Six screenshots are not enough...to show all the drama and emotions of this brilliant episode!

2006年02月19日

New Prologue

This episode is not only entitled with a new beginning, but I feel like it actually is the step to the final arc of the show (I'm excited *yatta*). Decisions are made, secrets are revealed. New characters take actions, while Shana is in trouble with her own feelings. We are coming to the climax of Shakugan no Shana! Let's see wether it will satisfy me or not!

2006年02月19日

Slaying Hand of Shakugan

*yawn* And even more and more and more flashback. What's so cool about Wilhelmina?

The Day the Flame Was Born

From now on we have a new ending song. I loved the old one, but was also enjoying the new one...ah, have to add the information to the category page.
At least this episode I got the story, but I'm so bored about the whole flashback crap. Shakugan no Shana makes it again and again. When I love it so much my hype is totally destroyed by some baka episodes *arg*

2006年02月04日

A Great Person

After all this Shana goodness we come to something like this: A flashback episode -_-° ! After all one I did not understand with a skeleton that's traumatized by his own death...all the blodd, you know?

2006年02月04日

So far so good

I'm definitely in a Shakugan no Shana hype. The last four episode were overall brilliant in character developements, their interactions and realtionships and also the story was intriguing!
A perfect mixture of the fighting and private plot. If only it stayed this way...

Love and Desire's Poolside

Ahaha, what a wonderful episode. Now I'm so into the show I can't await to watch what's coming next. Now we now Shana is fighting for love and melon bread. And Margery...had the hottest outfit I've ever seen. (of course I'm talking about her hair style ^_~)

2006年01月15日

Magnificent Goblet

Yeah, fight Shana! She really looks sugoi with the flaming hair, especially now she's got wings. I feel sorry for Margery...that may have been the intention of the story wrtiters *lol* The sudden "I can do anything together with him"-attitude takes getting used to ~_~°

2006年01月10日

The Two Flame Hazes

Now I really start to like it ^^ It's a pity I sat in such an angle to the laptop I was not able to read all subtitles *drop* Now that MArgery gets at least some character! And she really looks cute when she's drunk *lol*

2006年01月10日

Complication. Activation. Confrontation

Every time there's more action I start to dislike it again, and I like the episodes others say are boring. Hmmm....

2005年11月24日

Respective Thoughts

This was the episode I enjoyed the most so far. And I guess I know now what started to get on my nerves. The story only revolved around Shana and Yuuji, and we no I'm not a guy and Yuuji is mor the boring type of boy. Now some more charcaters take active part and Shakugan no Shana could get really good!

Flame Haze in Wonder

Before I forget to ask again: What do you think of the eyecatcher of the show. The music they use is so overdramatic I have to laugh loud every time I hear/see it.

But to the episode itself...this is the first time I wished to be a male blogger! There's so much fanservice by the obviously most favourite girl of the season and it gives absolutley nothing to me ~_~°
It's all in all strange with Shakugan no Shana. I want to keep watching, but I'm not really enjoying it in an unexplainable way. I'm waiting for something...but for what?

2005年11月05日

Torch and Flame Haze

Slowly I begin to understand why all the male bloggers think Shana is so cute ^^ Besides being bitchy all the time her face is really kawaii when she eats melon bread *lol* Again the story developement did not go too fast but I'm pretty sure this show will stay on my watch list!

The scene where Shana knocked the stuffing out of the teachers was unbelievable *lol* I wish I could have done something similar to some of my former teachers *wuhaha* She's harsh to everyone near her but in small steps she shows another side, too. It's obvious she is irritated by Yuuji and the way he acts, I actually feel she waited for someone like him. But isn't it ghoulish how Yuuji is treated like a treasure box in a RPG?

2005年10月27日

Burning Flame

While some of my fellow anime bloggers seemed to be bored or disappointed about this second episode I enjoyed it a lot. The explanation about the torches was a bit long, but I can totally understand Yuuji, as the show plays with one of the biggest fears of mankind: To be forgotten after death!

I'm very sorry, but i have to take screencaps by random curiosity for future entries, as I have some serious playback problems with the series!

The End of Everything, A Beginning

Shakugan no Shana is the second show that goes directly to my watch list! Hey, it's J.C.Staff! *J.C.staff fangirl flag unwrap* Animation was decent, the soundtrack good, although it's not topping Jogoku Shoujo, and the story myterious. It's not Loveless but it looks enjoyable!

I hope I will never be cut through!!!
