If we put the kind of entertaining show with almost all rookies (k-on, Suzumiya when it first aired is close-ish in that Hirano Aya was practically a no-name back then) on one side of the scale and trash w/ brilliant cast (Queen's Blade anyone~) on the other, I'd say Shana is somewhere like 2/3rd down the line to Queen's Blade. Do we have any details on any variation in terms of studio/director/etc for season 3, or is it just one of those things on like comptiq with a blurp about it releasing at some point?

So... What is "tsundere"? Are Akane Iro blah blah blah and Gintama any good? What is Akasaka? hahaha. On June 04 2009 16:25 konadora wrote: Yeah. They could have done a bit more with the action sequences. And they sort of overdid the romance too. One thing I really dislike about the anime is that Shana looks completely different. Take these two by comparison: ![[image loading]](http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/1294/moe4988sample.jpg) Light novel/manga version ![[image loading]](http://sheryl.imouto.org/sample/68533a018cd5c606d79061c0d9a269fd/moe%20134%20sample.jpg) Anime version They really ruined her in the anime =.=" Wow you're right. I liked Shana as an anime character, though...and personally, I'm a sucker for romance, so I wouldn't have so much minded it in the anime (though I haven't read any of the novels or the manga, so I have no basis for comparison) were it not for it being handled so stupidly. -____-;; On June 04 2009 16:29 Ecael wrote: She can wear a chinadress, obviously not that bad, cough Louise cough. At PH's post above, you want to complain about underwhelming potential? sola, nothing in the last 4 years can compare to it in terms of wasting potential. You get insane scenario writer and character designer then toss it away with a half-season and a half-assed manga? Bah. Matsuri still remains one of my favorite characters, even minus Noto Mamiko voiceacting. Yeah, I agree...Sola could have been a LOT better than it was. I totally forgot about it, though. It left a relatively feeble impression on me, lol. | ||

The July issue of ASCII MediaWorks’ Dengeki Bunko Magazine will reveal on June 10 that the “Shana Project is restarting” with a “new anime in development” for Shakugan no Shana. -AnimeNewsNetwork I'm guessing it'll be the same studio, don't know about director, seiyuu cast should be the same. | ||

It needs to improve animation, sound, plot, the male lead, dialogue, and the outside characters. It has some good moments but they are too few and far between. | ||

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eroge) I'm a sucker for romance too, but I think in season 2, they could have done a bit less in that aspect. | ||

It left a relatively feeble impression on me, lol. sola hurts more for people that play visual novel or read light novels, because the character designer and scenario writer are both large names in that field, them coming together for an original animated series was like...yeah.  Gintama is excellent, at least the manga is, the anime also has quite good pacing and all, but some of my friends feel like the humor is more geared toward asians. Akane-iro ni somaru saka is an eroge turned all-age turned anime from like two seasons ago? Average at best, watch if you have a thing for Kugumiya and Hirano Aya. (edit wow at screwing up Japanese grammar so hard, I need sleep, let it slide please konadora). I can't explain tsundere, try looking it up. Akasaka is a name or a place, one that pops up to mind is a character from Higurashi ga naku koro ni, but I've been tempted to read the games recently so that's in the foreground of my mind. EDIT - I didn't know akaneiro got abbreviated as akasaka, isn't that confusing? I mean, 茜色 and 赤坂, wrong colors wtf :p EDIT - Testie bashed Shana hard lol. Can't quite disagree with him, light novel series of long standing tends to be cash cows like shonen manga, best have low expectations. | ||

It wasn't until the second half, when they actually started having fights again, that it got interesting again. Hopefully Season 3 will learn from past mistakes. J.C staff's gotten much better since then, doing good works like Toradora, To aru Majutsu no Index, Hayate no Gotoku!!, etc. I'm sure season 3 won't disappoint :3 btw, I'll be watching Detective Conan, episode 526 and a few more episodes.

I didn't notice until I had watched the whole first season that the they only had introduced the characters and had done very little on the actual main storyline. I'm Looking forward to season 2. | ||

I'm Looking forward to season 2. There is very little "main storyline" , the light novel is just starting to develop that really, to be honest, I doubt the author had anticipated the novel to go on as long as it had, because there was very little relating to the "main" plot for the first 8 volumes really, it isn't until vol 9 do we start seeing more clearly the forces at work. That said, I enjoyed the series a lot (Misaka~) and found the anime to be a fair adaptation of the original light novels. They cut out a ton of things to make it all fit in time though | ||

On June 04 2009 18:22 konadora wrote: In terms of content... Light Novel >>>> Anime always. Well, of course, the question though is how much the animated version is willing to shed from the original work. Let's take Kara no Kyoukai, that is an excellent adaptation in that it kept all the important things of the original novel yet did not spend too much time on the other things. The original novel is really a primer of the type-moon universe and goes into much detail about the mechanics of the universe and such, while it is slightly disappointing to see those things left out as a type-moon fan, it does work out much better and prevented every chapter from being 2 hours long (chapter 5 would've been like 4 hours if they tossed in everything). With light novels though, we don't tend to see that, they tend to instead just shave out the character development for main plot. It is really an issue of pace, I suppose, you simply can't spend 52+ episode on 6 volumes, yet character development is meant for that length, but plot is dispersed through that. Index didn't suffer as much when it got animated simply because the early volumes are really disconnected. | ||
