I know it might come as a bit of a surprise, but I don’t think of Shakugan no Shana as a really excellent series. While the characters got to be quite interesting, the music was fantastic, and the visuals remained very strong throughout, the whole thing felt empty to me, kinda like Hecate. [...]
While Bel Peol beats the crap out of Wilhelmina (apparently pirates > meido), Marjorie and Sydonai have a furry DBZ battle above the city. Shana makes it down to Hecate, but Hecate’s lust creates an unbreakable shield of awkwardness. However, Yuuji aids Shana’s cause by attacking Hecate psychologically; he tells Hecate that she [...]
Shana and Wilhelmina storm the castle, but instead of just flying up, they actually run up all the circular stairs. All tired out from the unnecessary marathon, they fall prey to the Professor’s trap: an insignia that drains PoE. The Professor then proceeds to zerg them with specially coated robo-clones of Domino. [...]
I was reading the St. Patrick’s Day post over at Penny Arcade and realized that they were describing exactly how Balle Masque plans to get the Reiji Meigo out of Yuuji. Ten bucks says Bel Peol will cheat. Twenty bucks says Hecate will try to “synchronize” with the Piñata.
Naturally Wilhelmina is able to bandage Shana up, and Alastor lets Wilhelmina know about Shana’s lust for Yuuji. Satou wants to storm Serei-den, but Tanaka reminds him that they’re all level 1’s and Satou can’t even equip the Blutsauger. Meanwhile, in Serei-den, Hecate can’t wait to start molesting Yuuji. Syndey’s worried about [...]
Yuuji uses another explosion of Power of Existence (PoE) to get free from Wilhelmina, and Shana finally intervenes on his behalf. To prevent the Flame Hazes from getting into a naked mud-wrestling match, Alastor lies and says that Yuuji is somehow useful still. Yuuji’s theory about the remaining osprey decorations is considered, and [...]
Things start out badly for Shana as Wilhelmina busts out a full-sized vacuum (wtf…) and cleans Shana’s real apartment. As Wilhelmina meets all the other characters in Shana’s life, she begins to realize what’s wrong with Shana; it’s the corruption of love! Now that Balle Masque has discovered the location of Reiji Meigo, [...]
Thanks to Ender for pointing out why the hell Marjorie is always referencing children’s rhymes.
Yuuji spends the whole episode finally letting all the self-pity out, and this opens the door wide open for Kazumi to endear herself to him by being sensitive. Isn’t that usually a trick guys use on girls? While Yuuji is busy angsting on about being a Torch, Marjorie passes out bookmark cell phones [...]
Strap onto pain express, cause it’s leaving town like Yuuji. Yuuji’s all depressed about not being human anymore, and everyone else is wallowing around in a lovesick muddle. Kazumi wants to confess to Yuuji but is afraid that Yuuji might be a Torch; Shana wants to surprise Yuuji with her yukata but she [...]
You betcha it’s time to go back to the future, and it’s shown how everyone is wallowing in the lovesick yearnings of the springtime of their youth. Thus we return to the epic tale of love and food. While Ogata tries to catch Tanaka’s eye, Kazumi and Shana wage a cold war for [...]
Wilhelmina’s neko-mask bandage powers are pretty roxxor, but she instead has Shiro come back and defeat Orgone. Turns out he’s not really a skeleton; in fact he’s a hottie with long white hair and was part of some strange love triangle between Wilhelmina and the previous Enpatsu Shakugan no Uchite (who from now on [...]
What the heck?! I’m not really sure what this little 3-minute smorgasborg of Shana clips was, but it was totally hilarious and random at the same time. Really felt like several animated 4-komas, joined into a mini-episode. I loved the bizarre drooling scene, and it was interesting to see Kazumi’s nasty side [...]
