Woot, Shakugan no Shana Season 2, Episode 1! :D
Spoiler :
Ahhh, what a crafty way to do a recap of first season! Yuuji pretty much got caught himself in some sort of a dream world made by a new Tomogara (who by the way is that gothic loli girl with horns). And in the dream world, he pretty much relived some of the events like the first encounter with Friagne and those incest twins. After Yuuji figured out it was all a dream, he made sure he woke up. When he did that, he saw Shana fighting against that Tomogara.
The new OP sequence freakin' KICKS ASS! The people of I've Sound are really branching out towards the rock styles. And I have to say, the animation from J.C. Staff looks a lot slicker than usual. I guess they got themselves a more solid budget this time due to the popularity of this. 8-)

Went as you recommended. But now I shall feel the pain of waiting within each second until ep2.:(
Spoiler :
Hehe, the "recap" thing got me really confused.
"Did they put in the beginning from s1?"
"No wait, they are just playing with us, it's a new semester."
"What the hell? It's Friagne!"
And so on...

I really liked it when Yuuji (I prefer this version of the name) asked Shana about what did she say before releasing Alastor. *BLUSH* "Urusai, urusai, urusai!" Soooo cute! XD
The OP song is quite different than "Hishoku no Sora" (s1) and "Tenjou wo Kakeru Mono Tachi" (from the movie), so I'll probably need some time to get used to it.

That opening is more rock-steady then the original's 'epic' feel I've been getting, but it works...

This is at its core a HOT action series [ack, pun] that involves the only overaged female child [gah?] that's turned me into a semi-loli in less than 4 episodes...

[Yes Omni, you're supposed to like women, WOMEN WITH BOOBS AND BODIES ACK*]

*stares at Margery Daw a bit more...*

ah, that's better...

But why does she get to live with the darn 'badass' delinquent, it makes no sense... [he also seems indifferent to having a near sex-goddess living with him which doesn't match my standard 'deliquent' cliche, which is good]

Yes..I blame this anime for making me a partial loli-phile too. But remember, a little on the side never hurts. Just look at more boobs later.

Episode 2! This episode provided a mixture of both relationship mayhem moments and some slick action scenes! :D
Spoiler :
Kazumi is giving Yuuji lots of tasty bentos which made Shana jealous. So Shana ended up stuffing her bento with lots of melon bread and gave it to Yuuji (considering her cooking is full of massive fail :lol: ). Knowing how considerate Yuuji is, he tried to finish off both bentos and ended up getting a stomachache. Kazumi and Shana followed him to the infirmary.

The Tomogara that creates dreams is back, and this time she traps everyone including Kazumi. Thanks to Yuuji's quick thinking, he was able to figure out that Tomogara is inside him the whole trying to take his Reiji Maigo. The Tomogara failed in taking it away since it was protected by something called the Keeper. With her defeated, everyone was able to wake up.
Next episode, a mysterious transfer student appears, and
Spoiler :
it's Hecate?!! Oh shit, this is going to bring in a lot of complications to Yuuji's growing harem! :shock:

It's the second half of the s1 recap!:D
I forgot that even in s1, Yuuji was quite intelligent.
Spoiler :
The reasoning inside the dream and finding the Tomogara's true body prove his good usage of brains. I believe main characters are rarely this smart.

As for the Keeper thing... I'm kind of doubting it. Maybe it's something the enemy put inside him for some reason?
On the other hand, Kazumi should learn to back off sometimes!;)
Looking forward to see what's with the transfer student and that strange man shown in the preview of ep3.
