OMG, the Shakugan no Shana the Movie is OUT! :shock:
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.

- 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 was 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.

- 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 sort of 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! :o

x2 to everything angelx03 wrote.

Though, they didn't put in the funny scene from SnS1, when
Spoiler :
Yuuji wakes up with Shana in his bed.:D
On the other hand, season 2 starts tomorrow, right? I'm still considering, if I'll be watching it as it comes out or wait for it to finish.:/

x3 to everything angelx03 wrote.

and I was dissapointed that they didn't use that scene either, I know it's a pretty cliche scene, but it's reeeeally funny in the Shana TV series. First ep of which should have been yesterday. I guess Eclipse-SS will be taking it, but since they're also doing Clannad, I'm betting Clannad will get their attention as the 24 hour subs show the same way they did Kanon 2006.

Just saw the OP to Shana season 2. Too much Yoshida in it, seriously she should just give up, she has ZERO chance to get with Yuji? Is that right, it's been a while since I've seen Shana so hoping his name is Yuji.

Yeah that's his name alright. I don't particularly care about her tbh, I mean, it does at least add some competition into it right? It would be rather boring is Shana just got with Yuji rightaway.

I'm kinda hoping that they speed things up a little in season 2. Season 1 was good, but I found towards the end some things were being rushed through, while others seemed to drag out needlessly. Episode 18 was the best one for the series I think.

Also, did anyone else notice the continuity error in episode 21 at 9:20 into the episode. Shana puts her sword away, then it suddenly appears for a scene and disappears again O:

The was another continuity error later on, but I forgot it from when I saw it.

Yeah, that's what I had to do with Nanoha StrikerS <,< As long as eclipse isn't hella slow like Yesy, I'll be just fine.

Ep1 by SS-Eclipse is out. Seems like they will be doing three series.
Let's give them a cookie for their efforts.:)
