Shakugan No Shana

[Arcane]

Review time!

Title:Shakugan no Shana
Genre:Comedy, Action, Romance, Drama, and Supernatural (wooooooooo....)
Age Group:Teens.

Storyline:Sakai Yuji,a high school student of Misaki High who was thought to be alive, is dead.When he was on his way home,time suddenly stopped,ppls were being covered in blue fire and were eaten by a creepy doll monster.The doll was about to eat Yuji, but a red eyed flame haired girl appeared *gasp* and totally pwned the monster.She explained to Yuji that she was a so called "Flame Haze" that goes out hunts "Guze no Tomogara".Yuji was then called by her a torch, a temporary replacement for ppls who died from in the fuzetsu(an area where time is stopped).He then catches her with pokeball and nicknames her shana (Joking!He just made friends with her and called her shana since she didn't have a name) and fight along side her.

Review:Now, this bloody, and unless you don't like blood, then stop reading.NOW.But let's continue.Since shakugan no Shana is a Romance, of course, there is a love triangle.The love triangle is always making you eager for more.Just like the love triangle, the fight scenes make you eager for more and are always very exciting to watch with all that hacking and a slashing.The sad parts, well, can make you almost cry

I never actually saw the whole series, but from what I saw, it was a great anime

I love this show!!!!!! It's actually been the first anime I've ever been serious about watching for a year, not since I watched Fate Stay Night last year (also a very good anime and one I'd highly recommend) The 1st series is really good, but apparently the 2nd series, on the other hand, is a different story. There's also a movie based on the series too.

It's just like what irregular said, it's a recap of the first season.
Just finish the first season and start watching the second season.

I personally liked all of them

[Archer]

Season one's end was epic as Yuji literally went from a normal torch to an abnormal existence and not to mention he held Blautsauger with one hand xD (and subsequently jammed the mecha in one hit)

[ohsopriestly]

I'm a little hesitant to watch this anime, to be honest. I feel like the male MC would be absolutely worthless.
