*applauds* I agree in full, Tony. It's good to see someone else respected SnS as a solid series, despite some formula problems, the fanservice, and the non-closure of an ending. Unlike some other series *cough* Rozen Maiden *cough* SnS looked like it could have benefited from, and deserved, a second season; the "Shana flashback" was long and, in my view, quite tiresome to marathon through. It's also a pity all the "OVA's" are "Shana-tan" parodies. :/ Personally, I gave SnS a 7.6-7.8 (cannot remember) on a six category scale (1-10); characters/plot/tilt/animation/music/voices, though I should include a category for "character design/atmosphere" one of these days. For reference, I gave Haruhi an 8.7 and FSN a 7.2. |

Not technically same animators, but same original character designer which is Noizi Ito. But seriously, there's something about the way she draws the characters' eyes (mainly the girls) that makes them so mesmerizing. It'll be a while until the new Shakugan no Shana movie comes out, but I definetly can't wait to get my hands on the DVD. Mainly, I'm curious how the Ocean Group dubs this especially Tabitha St. Germain'srole as Shana. From the few sounds clips of her other roles I heard in CrystalAcids, she has the right bratty tone |

Can we give links to fansubed movie promos? It seems like really grey area, as it is technically illegal, but who in their right mind would care about fansubbing ads?

I actually have one dvd to go until I finish the series but so far I really enjoy it but if I were to rate it I would give it an 8.5 out of 10. It would be a 9 out of 10 but I really disliked the two blondes that were brother and sister. They really grossed me out especially because spoiler[they were kissing each other all the time.] I actually thought I was going to be sick a few times. The shows overall story was extremely good and that's the thing that I enjoy the most about anime. So I suppose that's why I enjoyed Full Metal Alchemist so much. I can't wait until I watch the final dvd.

I liked those two. They were funny, their grossness made me laugh. Occasionally though, they got a little too gross for me. But most of the time it was at a level that I actually found enjoyable to watch, if only because it was so funny and slightly unusual (for a normal anime, I'm sure that stuff happens all the time in hentai anime).

Tiriel's the girl and Sorath is the boy, right?
Personally, I think that Sorath doesn't care much for his sister and her attention towards him. He's more preoccupied with the Nietono no Shana and Tiriel seems to take advantage of that.. |

Key said her voice was perfect. If she can make Flay even more psycho and insane, Shana wouldn't be a problem. I like this series! The plot about the torches is creative and is the whole philosophical side to it is amazing. The only character I detest is Kazumi, but I liked everyone else. Dark motifs is a genre I like, which Shana is. The sibblings and that guy with the doll kinda scared me, but they were the bad guys. |

I really didn't expect to like this series, but it really grew on me. I think the turning point were those flashback episodes (or a bit before) where the shift goes from Yuji to Shana. Shana makes a far more interesting protagonist than the bland Yuji. I agree that a second season is welcomed.

Oh yeah, the movie is out!
spoiler[At first, I was a bit uneasy about it since I heard it's actually an alternate retelling of the first 6 episodes of the first season. For the most part it was especially since some of the familiar scenes (like when Yuji first met Shana, the whole Yukari incident, and the undressing of Shana) were reused. BUT there were some key differences! - Kazumi Yoshida actually got in a couple more scenes whereas in the TV series, there was not much. - They cut out some of the comedy bits like Shana pwning the teachers, and Yuji waking up and being surprised she's on his bed. - There's an insert song during the final scenes of Yuji's futile attempt of not letting Yukari Hirai disappear. - The first appearance of Margery Daw actually didn't end up with her fighting against Shana. Hell, this is when both Shana and Yuji first met her. - In addition, both Shana and Margery Daw actually worked together in order to fight against Friagne. - The final fight scenes against Friagne were FAR better choreographed than the TV series as it showed the true extent of Friagne's powers especially with Marienne's ability to possess dummies and the Trigger Happy gun. This is where J.C. Staff's dumped a lot of the movie budget on! - The Flame of the Heaven's true form is revealed, and it was BAD ASS! ] This was surprisingly an enjoyable movie. While some people may already get bored with the beginning assuming you've already seen the first few TV episodes, near the end it really blows the TV version away. Heck, now I can't watch the TV's version without thinking about the movie! 
Hopefully once Geneon's problems are clear, they'll be able to release this on DVD soon. |

Question: Could I watch the movie without having seen the series or will it spoil me? Also how exactly does it relate to the series, sequel, standalone, recap, etc.?

Im glad that someone else also shared the hype I did for this movie. I found it just a little disappointing though, since I was hoping it would be more of a bridge between season1 and season2, however it wasn't but that's all good.
I'll agree with you chibi spoiler[Alastor's form when released was KICK ASS]. Also I enjoyed the song too, which is why it is playing right now. Other things that pertain more to the story that I noticed were spoiler[Yuji didn't yell at Shana in class, which I thought was a pretty big with the resentment of Shana taking over Hirai's identity] Anyway, a pretty good movie overall, shame it was a recap, although the movie did do spoiler[Friagne's fight a whole lot more justice than the T.V show did.] And to your question Kruszer, you could watch the movie, but there are definitely some parts that'll leave you confused on how things connect together. Some of the character introductions are short, such as spoiler[when Hirai meets Yuji in the CD store. They seem to not know each other, but somehow Yuji knows her name afterwards. I unno maybe I missed something personally here, or maybe just cause they are classmates, but I thought that was odd. Nothing really big though.]. However, I personally believe that if you watch the first season before watching the movie, or at least the first 6 or 7 episodes, the movie will hold a lot more meaning to you. |
