Shakugan no Shana is one of the best shows this season.

[Go-chin]

It rocks. Hard.

Very cute stuff...but it's pretty depressing at the very start. Good animation and VA work.

Marchoisis is voiced by the guy who did Mike Sounder 13th in GaoGaiGar, which gets +20 cool points.

Anyone else seen it want to voice their views?

Anyone else seen it want to voice their views? First of all, all yay for GGG but does geting voiced by the most anoying robot in the series realy deserve all that cool?

Secondly, the DVD extra, "...no Shanatan" is agably the best 3minutes of anime ever.

Yes, it is that cool since without Mike Sounders, the world would have ended long, long ago.

I like the series a lot, though I do wish the character designs were a bit... older? Something about how young everybody looks is kinda creepy.. :sweat:

This is supposed to be a shoujo series, right? It seems to have a lot of shounen elements, so I'm not really sure.

It's so cute! It's supposed to be that way.

And no, it's definitely a shonen series.

Also, Margery Daw reciting the legend of Solomon Grundy = Win

pics please? And synopsis if you'd be so kind ^__^

Aha, okay.

It's shonen? will all the emphasis on emotions in the last few episodes, they've done a really good job of mixing the two genres (in my opinion).

She did? Which episode?

I also fun it funny that Margery's book has the same Seriyu as Takashi's chubby friend in Initial D.

Emotional value has nothing to do with whether it is shonen or shoujo.
Shoujo and shonen simply mean what audience that the show is aimed at.



She did? Which episode?


The one when she first fought against Shana.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday...marriage, illness, all in one.
SOLOMON GRUNDY!
*Spews flame*

If you want images, you can try surfing around the official site (http://www.shakugan.com).

The plot is basically this: There's these people from another dimension called "Guze" who come to this world and prey on humans' power to exist, thus manifesting their own existence in our world. However, since people suddenly ceasing to exist is kinda conspicuous, they place human substitutes called "Torches", which gradually fizzle out until no one remembers that person existing at all.

Though not all the inhabitants of Guze are power-hungry killers, and some of the more powerful ones enter into contracts with humans. These humans are then known as the "Flame Hazes", and they fight to keep the balance between the two worlds.

So, now that you've got the background info, on to the story. This contains spoilers for the first three or four episodes, so don't read any further if you want to go into it completely cold. Sakai Yuuji is your ordinary high school guy, until he runs into Shana, a Flame Haze. Here, he makes the unfortunate discovery that he is, in fact, a Torch, and his real body died a long time ago. So, not only is he going to fizzle out of existence, no one's going to remember him, either. However, it turns out a special treasure has been implanted in him that causes his Torch to re-light every night, thus rendering him, for all intents and purposes, immortal (despite him technically already being dead). Naturally, some of the more power-hungry folk of Guze would loooove to get their hands on this, so Yuuji and Shana have to fight off an increasing hoarde of monsters, while dealing with usual high-school drama in the meantime. :P

Hope that was a decent enough explanation. ^_^*

[Nobody You Know]

I saw the first episode and didn't espically like it.

Does it get more depressing, or less? Because if it gets less depressing, I might go back and try again.

Shanatan is pretty freaking funny, though. Uruchai urichai urichai urichai urichai urichai urichai urichai urichai urichai!

... Ahem.

[FlyByNite77]

Hahaha yea. Shana needs a talking doll that just says "Urasai!" she says it so much in the series to poor Yuuji.

I've enjoyed the recent backstory about Shana. Wilhelmina rules.

More depressing. Then less.
But in a good way.

I'll give it a second shot. I need SOMETHING to watch. Thank you.
