Wow, aren’t I full of Shana goodness? Lol, my two past posts and this one makes three Shana posts in a row, total Shana Moe ;p. Anyways, just watched the first episode of Shakugan No Shana II which is the second season continuing from where Shakugan No Shana left off on. The animation looks pretty much the same, the characters do have a little more maturity on them, but lets be honest here, we all watch Shana for Shana lol. Everyone loves Shana from her cute melon pan eating to her Red Hair and Red Eye’s Flame Haze fighting, and let us not forget “urusai, urusai, urusai” ^^.

The school year is continuing from the break and everyone is converging onto school again. Yuji especially enjoys seeing Shana again after all that they went through after the battle at Seirei-den who has been walked to school by Wilhelmina, to Shana’s annoyance. Everything is going well until the teacher yells at Shana for not bringing in her notebook but Shana replies the teacher is taking away irrelevant parts of the quote that no one would know unless they knew the original quote “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” (Shakespeare, from his play Romeo and Juliet) . All too familiar to Yuji as other events also repeat themselves like Friagne and the incest twins appearing again when they died. But Yuji also notices that things he doesn’t already know doesn’t occur like trying to find Satou’s house that he doesn’t know the location of, resulting in never finding it and constantly ending up at a dead end or asking his mom what kind of coffee she buys but she responds that Yuji’s father might return soon. Yuji makes the connection that its all a dream and he wakes up after announcing that it was his dream and being sliced by the brother of the twins.

Yuji wakes up in a fuzetsu where Shana is fighting a weak Tomogara. The Tomogara welcomes Yuji back to the real world, for she was the one who put Yuji into the dream state, even though it was only for a few seconds in the real world.

The weak Tomogara and Shana fight it out with the end result being Shana slicing the Tomogara in half.

After the fight, Yuji and Shana walk to school as Shana enjoys her breakfast of a melon pan.

Yuji asks Shana what she said to him as they left Seirei-den (I love you) that catches Shana off guard and leaving her responding that she said that she respected Yuji more but Yuji kept asking resulting in Shana’s “urusai, urusai, urusai” (very cute ^^). At School, Shana meets up with Yoshida and the two stare it out as “Round Two” over the love of Yuji commences (I’m rooting for Shana). As everyone heads to class, we hear the laugh of the weak Tomogara over the school.

Impression:
Sugoi, Shana season II has started. Although I was a bit annoyed that they retold bits of Shana I with different angles, it did lay the background for the new enemy who I assume might attack indirectly in dreams rather than physically. Who knows, but getting killed in a dream might cause you to die in real life, but we can’t prove this for if you die in a dream and as a result in real life then how can you tell someone lol. The new Tomogara looks cute lol, the horns remind me of a succubus though but the gothic lolita clothing is awesome. I’m not a true fan of gothic lolita but I like the designs and details that go into the outfits. Back on topic, we’ll see how this new enemy will involve herself in the story and see old enemies as well. We’ll also might see who wins Yuji’s heart, Shana or Yoshida…I’m for Shana 100% ^^. Watch Shana season two, if you haven’t watch the first season then watch that first. After you watch the first season then watch the movie, or read my review lol.
