Shakugan no Shana
I will rate this after I am done with other anime and stuff
I have yet to write this... because I am lazy or something
I have yet to write this... because I am lazy or something
Yuuji is your average high school boy. You know average grades, in general kind of boring. Well one day he happens to be in a magical circle with a Guze. The Guze proceeds to eat every person in that circle. That is until it is stopped by a Flame Haze. Well long story short the Flame Haze saves Yuuji. However, Yuuji is a very special guy now, he is dead AND he contains a powerful treasure.
So the Flame Haze adopts the role of Yuuji s classmate. Where she is just a total bitch to everyone, including Yuuji. She slowly rises to the top of the school while making Yuuji look like a wuss. Annoyed with her lack of identity Yuuji gives the Flame Haze a name Shana.
The question now becomes what fun adventures with this wuss and Shana have?
Season 3 Episode 14
Death To The Stupid
So I understand why all the flame haze had problems with everything that happened. Yes it sucks, hell uhhh the ritual serpent made a very strong case I will give him that much. However, could none of these idiots realise that they were in a VERY bad place and would be killed if they did not keep fighting and/or retreating? I mean these are not some simple town folk forced to endure the riggers of battle. These are all experienced fighters
I guess sooner or later they would have died. They were all the weak ones. However, still you would think that they would have enough battle sense to know that they need to get home before they have the crisis. Any idiot could see that they are retreating. There are plenty of beings wanting them dead. Why did they all just freak out like babies? I guess that is why they are not main characters.
Season 3 Episode 10
I Was Confused
So remember how I was mentioning that this season they seem to jump around a lot. Well when I watched this episode I wondered if I had actually watched episode 9. For the first time since this series had started I actually had not watched an episode. This is just bad, seriously bad when crap like this happens.
Season 3 Episode 5
The Bounce Around
So I get it instead of having one story that makes sense. The world is now complex enough, I guess, to have the story jump around a lot. Part of me feels like the writer is trying to make up for that abortion we will cal Shana 2. Though I don't really get Shana... seriously what is her deal? When did she become such a wuss.
Season 3 Episode 5
Did I miss something?
I am pretty sure that I did not skip the last episode. So why does this episode make so little sense? Did I miss something big or are they just being dicks? I have no idea what is going on in this anime any more. When did Sato disappear? What is the deal with the Flame Hazes? Why the hell is Shana being such a... well girl? What is Yuji's angle in all of this? What the fuck is going on? Every episode they hint at something big. Yet unlike in the past episodes I was at least aware of what was going on. Hmm... looks like this is getting a quick finish.
Season 2 Episode 13
Slice of... uhhh people?
I was trying to make a bad joke there. You know about slicing up people with swords... Yes.. I am a bit loopy right now... I am not sure why. Maybe it is the slice of life in this anime. Anyway, it finally ends. Thank god, too.. you know I think the crap they pulled in the first portion of this anime is what inspires fucked up fan fics.
The people get so tired of seeing the crap that happens. You know going from a magical action anime to a slice of life high school anime. They feel the need to make the various characters suffer. So they make up all these messed up scenarios where the girls get raped. Then as punishment for this happening all the girls become sex addicts. Ah the fucked up world of fan fiction... Seriously, why does such a fucked up world exist?
Season 2 Episode 15
This is What I Call Lazy
So Yuji is up to what five or six titles. He is almost like a super sayain. You know he can do a little bit of everything. His inventory of titles and abilities just never stops growing. Sooner or later he will be a god. He won't need anyone. Because he will use his massive powers of existence to manipulate peoples hearts. >_>... Well we shall see if this is more than just lazy writing.
I mean they could have added another three characters if they wanted too. So why don't they? Oh yeah, because that would require creativity when the time comes for them to have to combine all of Yuji's powers. Plus that is a bunch more dialog. I guess they really want this season to be over.
Since we are giving Yuji so many powers, I think he should dispense Pez. You know an actual useful power. The pez would be tons of wonderful sugary distraction. For those great times when Shana is getting her ass kicked or just needs a pick me up. The question is where would the pez come from. I say it should come out of his ankel. That way it is annoying to get the pez. Others might write painful fan fictions >_<. Either way I think his next title should be "Pez Dispenser"
Season 2 Episode 11
Please No More Slices Of Life
Oh god, I am losing my mind here. This is supposed to be an action anime. They emphasized it in the first season so very well. What was there too much... I don't know... depth? Seriously, I am tired of watching the two who want to be plowed by Yuji blush and glare at each other. It just... oh god... make it stop. I don't care that Ike likes Kazumi. I don't care who likes who. I want to get on with the rest of the story. The indepth adolescent relationships are not important in a series like this.
After watching this I am not surprised it too them so long to get the final season. Go I am tempted to not watch the final season... unless the second half of this season starts to get good. Maybe the OVAs and movie will be better... Oh god... just make it stop... please god you are killing me. Please just kill one of them off and have Yuji go off the deep end or something. Just make all this high school sap stop. It does NOT work with this show T_T.
Season 2 Episode 4
Special Ed Cutie
You know there is a limit to how oblivious to the world someone is allowed to be. Sorry, but Konoe is so far past that line it is no longer cute. There is a point when someone's lack of attachment to reality is annoying. I mean she is in high school. <_< there is a limit to stupid you get to be. If you don't understand the principles of how your bag works it is time for you to be put in a bubble.
Season 2 Episode 7
I Thought This Was An Action Anime
This slice of life crap is getting really old. Seriously, how many episodes must I endure before it ends? I am tired of watching Shana and Kazumi try and Seduce Yuji. Yes we get it Kazumi is the better wife figure. What with her cleaning and cooking and having a chest. I get it as well, Shana just doesn't understand her feelings. God... get over it already. Want to seem some kind of development other than this poor relationship and character development.
Season 2 Episode 10
He Fills More Roles
Yuji, gets to be like the corpse retriever... or whatever his name was. He gets to be super powerful and special and carry four or five titles. I know I don't understand the specifics of this universe... however... WHAT THE FUCK? Why can't the author make a new character. Instead of adding a small twist in the relationship of Margery and Yuji?
Season 1 Episode 24
Yay Panties
You know when I think about it panties are alway inevitable in anime. Well anime that involves girls. They are just as inevitable as swimsuits. Well at least it was tasteful. After all, bits of debris and fire cannot protect the innocent whiteness forever right?
speaking of which I miss the old days when there happened to be censoring. All this blatant censoring is getting annoying. At least back in the day they were creative about it. Then again, back in the day they did not have to sell DVDs with the incentive of being uncensored... such a waste of good creativity. Well whatever.
Season 1 Episode 19
Loveu Loveu
Gah... I wonder how you spell the way the Japanese say "Love". Is it love.. oo? Meh anyway, I hate this kind of garbage in these shows. The world is collapsing and they are all caught up on their own personal teenage boners? Seriously, why is no one ever capable of seeing the big picture? Something goes wrong and they say "Hold on let explain to her/him before the madman destroys our city"
I also hate this in particular love triangle. I mean it is just getting annoying really. You have Shana who is not supposed to feel anything because she has a job to do. Then you have the normal girl who would be perfect for Sakai. I mean must we always steal a note out of classic tragedies? Hell why don't we make things interesting and make Shana and Sakai brother and sister? That way it is the ultimate love that can never be without it being a sing. God... fucking anime fans and their fucking romance.
Season 1 Episode 4
Probably a Sterotype...Squared
You know I have noticed that the confident "Idols" of the school are always complete and total bitches to everyone. Maybe that is one reason Shana is such a bitch. I mean she is magical so she is able to learn fast. Then she just sort of seems to run around hating everyone. I think it is because they are all weak... or something. I wonder if the writer thought about how they could make her even worse.
Enter in stereotype number two, the flat chest. Is it just me or does Shana seem particularly Loli for a high schooler. I mean if I did not know she was a girl I but she could pass off for a guy. Give her a nice boy haircut and put pants on her. She would make a nice guy. I think that is the other reason she is always pissed off. After all, girls with no boobs are incredibly aggressive.
Season 1 Episode 7
It Is Layers Upon Layers
You know, it is funny to know that anime writers get lazy too. After all the old guy fills three, probably later on four roles. What a great way to save time right? You don't make 3 characters. You just make one super bad-ass character. Of course his a super bad-ass character who is a wuss. I don't know, it gets kind of annoying. However, at the same time it is cheaper and easier to do.
Season 1 Episode 9
More Boob Anxiety
Poor Shana, she was ef...feminated..? Yeah that is a word I think... anyway she was effeminated in front of everyone. What with her lack of a chest and her having to wear a swimsuit that basically says "Boob Stealth". It did not help that every other girl there had more than pecks. However, I guess that is her appeal. After all, she is a flame haze, that kind of stuff does not matter right?
Speaking of swimsuits.. how did Kazumi's swimsuit work. I mean it is tight enough that it allows for minimal bounce... yet... loose enough that her tits can drape over Yuuji's head? This was not resting it was flat out draping. I am kind of surprised that Yuuji was not blinded by the boobness.
Speaking of boobs... why is it that anime girls get so uptight whenever a guy happens to be touched by boobs? I mean if a guy does more than an accidental brush he is a potential rapist. I just don't get it. Then again I guess most anime characters are complete wusses... so....
