Episode 21....goddamn that was utterly beautiful!

Spoiler :

Next episode is a Christmas Eve episode! Hmmm, makes me wonder what the next 3 episodes are going to be about.

Ep 21 was totally epic, I don't see why nobody else thought that o.O

I'm presuming that Ike will confess to Yoshida next episode (or the episode after) from what I have seen of the first OP.

Yay Shana! I don't know what anybody's talking about since I've only read up to chapter 10 (manga) and seen the first 4 episodes (anime)!

I heard about this anime a long time ago but never got around to watching it until now. I've just finished the first season. These are my thoughts:

Shana is a very likable character for me, having the clear loli traits and the spunky attitude. i believe my favorite scene may have been her verbally beating the shit out of her teachers.
This, however, was the only thing that the show did for me. I didn't like the enemies, and they're attacks were far too cliche-natured. Shana slashing them to bits was not nearly as epic as I had hoped it would be. I went into this anime with very high expectations.
They left several things left unexplained (which I hope are addressed in the second season), and many things just seemed too convenient for plot and threw me off a bit.
I liked the first Opening, but not the second. No real opinion on the Endings.
~de arimasu gets on my nerves.
I like the romance angle between Shana and Yuji, but as in several of Kugimiya's other loli roles, I can't see it going anywhere... ever. She's always so impulsive and vengeful.

The Shanatan and Hecatan specials did nothing for me. I am still disturbed by Yuji's (implied) masturbation scene. They just threw that in there for the lolz i suppose.
The only arc I actually loved was the one with Khamshin in it. He was badass, but he only attacked once and then we never saw him again.

So, with this I am ready to move on to something else. Given my personal review of the series, do you guys think that I would enjoy the second season enough to want to watch it? It would have to make up for a lot that the first season lacked.

Particularly, I want:
1. Relevent-to-big-picture Plot
2. Likable, non-cliche enemies
3. Epic fights
4. More awakened/learned abilities for Shana
5. Khamshin to return
6. Pie

Can the second season deliver?

first half = very slow and even boring

then about ep13 when Pheles comes into it, it really picks up
Yuuji can somewhat fight now
the past 2 eps had badass fights
season 2 is more about yuuji than shana

@ Ishbalan: dude you have no idea how badass Season 2 is. If you can put up with the first 11 or so episodes, you're in the epic zone.

Then again, it's up to you, not exactly my loss
