| Great episode to end the OVA series. I really enjoyed these past two episodes. It was a little emotional towards the end but that is how this show is. :) After seeing that clip after the credits. I'm really looking forward to season three. Can't wait! XD |
 |

| good eps it was nice to see that the Shana cared about the torch she replaced and the epilogue gave way to a possibly darker 3rd season - im really happy |

This last two OVA episodes returned the series to it's original dark flavor where things are not black and white and there's no happily ever afters. It was quite sad and touching seeing how after everything is over and done with the girl won't be remembered, a fate worst than death. It was so deeply driven in by the fact her loved ones kept talking about her future and happily waiting for her. And the last part where the guy just cries without knowing why, that whole sequence was perfect. The last two episodes make the OVA's worth it. |

EXPLANATION: In the 22nd episode of season 2 (when shana and yoshida are sitting on the bench) right before shana says lets write letters to yuji and have him pick, shana says that yuji won't be leaving with shana tomorrow (december 24th, christmas eve, the day yuji's reiji maigo was taken by bal masque and the day he chose shana in the credits of ep 24, and yes he chose shana because kazumi was right about to cry and shana had that huge cute smile) so in shakugan no shana S spisode 4 after the credits, shana comes back to misaki city after leaving after being chosen by yuji on christmas eve and they are reunited once again. (you could tell yuji got a lot stronger and learned to control his power of existence better and possibly got more of it because he learned to fly or otherwise how the heck would he be standing on top of a bridge just like shana??) you forgot the part when you say "This is what I think is gonna happen"....no seriously, if you dont want to get spoiled dont read the spoilers posted here but try not to make it sound like what you are saying is a fact because well, in a non spoilerish way, none of what you said is right lol |

WhYSoSeRiOuS1 said: Chalk it up to the crappy director and staff season 2 had. Thankfully the project changed hands. The OVA's purpose was to make people remember this series is more than just the slice of life romance that took up half of season 2.know what yuji is fighting for but the thing that pisses me off the that at the end of season 2 it doesn't explain or show that yuji separated from shana |
|
| Anyone know the song at the very end? Where Junko fades out of existence, the piano song that was playing. I cant find it anywhere. |
 |
| Great episode! It was really awesome! |
| Great episode is great.. though a little confuse.. that 3-4 episodes.. is that telling us what Shana done before or after separate from Yuuji? I thought it was after since Shana got those image from Yuuji before, but at the end she will going to Misaki-shi and meet things that she unexpected (meet Yuuji, freinds, herp) I know I didnt follow the series quite well, but I hope someone would explain clearer. and season 3? YEAH. I WANT CLEARER. 234h432 said: Anyone know the song at the very end? Where Junko fades out of existence, the piano song that was playing. I cant find it anywhere. Ahh that piano is awesome.. and I dont know where to found sorry. ;_; |
| This further solidifies shana as the cutest badass ever! |
| The setting in episode 3 and 4 are before the main series (first season) start, is like a prequel to show us how Shana was before she met Yuuji. Man, after watching this I can't wait for season three. I want my third season J.C. Staff. This or Hayate. |
| This episode was pretty meh for the most part compared to the previous one. Only the ending kinda saved it. |
| Good, solid episode... Nice ending for the arc. I didn't particularly enjoy the arc more than I would have other episodes, but it was still decent. Not a "must watch", though, IMHO. So it was right after this arc that Shana met Yuuji...? Hmm... |
| "Oh no, that photographer appearing in the middle of the night with his shawl wrapped around his face and sunglasses, practically longing for taking pictures of boys ... isn't suspicious at all!" Apart from that, I really enjoyed SnS S. The last two episodes were a nice way of portraying what Shana went through before meeting Yuji by taking a single incident and developing the characters quite well (for very minor characters). It also nicely illustrated the huge difference a person' turning into a Torch can make for some and how distanced Shana practically has to be. But...can't wait for Season 3 now, that ending scene was meeaaaan! |
| I need season 3 >.< |
| This was a hell of a lot better than I had expected. 5/5 So sad though. Urgh... |

Jhmf said: Guys, yuji did choose shana in the end of season 2. you could see that Yoshida had tears in her eyes and a sad look.(couldn't be the tear of happiness) Also, the happy reaction by shana supports that she got choose too. When she said "That day we got separated", and then came the flashback of christmas eve. It's got nothing to do with each other, it was just part of her memories she remembered. Got nothing to do with the say she got separated. something else must have happened. |
|
| meh I don't like stories like this. Junko just disappearing and being forgotten is too sad. I mean it was interesting but I didn't like the result. kinda good prequel though. |
 |
| Eh, I didn't really like these last 2 episodes |
 |
| I didn't really need to rewatch this OVA series after all, it's just last winter I watched it and I did know still almost everything. Rewatching the 1st and 2nd season was useful though, because I forgot everything regarding it. Now on to the 3rd season. |

| Damn this was a good episode. Both parts were pretty depressing. I loved the vocals at the beggining when Junko and Yukio were on a date together. Don't think it strange though that out in the middle of no wear some stranger walks up to you and just happens to have camera set for photoshoot and wants to take photo's of you? I mean yukio has no common sense. So in the end Junko lost her existence and thier for her mother and her lover both forgot about her. Pretty sad. The Tomagara turned out to be another weak enemy for shana, but the real depth of this story was the emotional moments that it delivered. Also i get the feeling that this story took place before shana even met yuji, as not a single other person was present and also shana just now entered misaki city. Interesting, ill have to read the novels if they ever get translated. By far the most surprising moment in this episode was the end though, when Shana confronted Yuji on top of a bridge, since when does he have the ability to climb on top of a high bridge by himself? Also when shana said, "we parted ways" i guess that must be the introduction to season 3. I am totally looking forward to where the story goes from here, its been along wait, but i hope they season 3 resolves all of the plot threads and helps bring closure to one of my favorite series. |

| i really enjoyed the last 2 episodes of SnS S. it really showed how much shana has grown throughout the series, and how she has become more able to understand the feeling of herself and others, not just as a flame haze, but as shana. compared to how cold and callous she was in these last 2 episodes, not being to able to understand the emotions surrounding Junko and those around her, shana's time with yuji and the others really opened her up to many new feelings and understandings the end was pretty sad. junko's mom finally finding ease with her daughter growing up and even dreaming of her daughter's wedding, only for it to never be able to happen... and junko's boyfriend at the end was really sad, as well. he broke down and cried for Junko after seeing her bracelet even when her existence was erased; this showed that he genuinely cared for her and was deeply saddened by her being gone forever, although he doesn't know it although the action could've used more intensity, the story for this arc was really where it was at, and it was very well done furthermore, very nice lead into season 3 at the end 8/10 for this OVA |
 <img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2mw85l2.jpg" /> |
| I feel pity for Junko's relatives. That was kind of sad episode. |
 |
| The first two episodes were great, last two were pretty weak. 7/10 dat teaser. must have sucked for the people that had to wait two years for the third season. |
 |
| Such a depressing way for torches to die off with all their loved ones forgetting about them. I really like scenes where the character is crying but they don't know why they are doing this. Very powerful, shows how much they care about their partner and how much suffering they're going through. Still feel bad for the mother though since she still seems like she remembers her daughter when looking at the cake. I found these 4 episodes to be very enjoyable with the exception of Ep. 2. One was filled with great comedy while 3-4 told me a story about the sadness of reality within the SnS world. These were better than the 48 episode of Shana I've watched so far imho. 8/10 I guess I prefer a good short story over an extremely long story that's uninteresting half of the time and doesn't seem to get anywhere for 2 seasons. Hopefully season 3 won't be full of boring sol episodes. |

Well first and second episode make it up to 10 but it's kind of hard to give 10 with last 2 episodes. Anyways it was entertaining. |

| Oh shit, what? So all that happened in those two last episodes was taking place after the last episode of season 2? Or just the ending sequence? Because it would be weird that she say that it is hard to melt in the human civilisation while she have been taking the place of Hirei for so long... Also, why would she bother to chase that Tomogara? Nah, I think that it was taking place before the first she have gone to Misaki City and that I just misunterprated. It was in overall a good little arc. Nothing that relevant to the main story but some background on how Shana was dealing with Tomogara in the past. It's kinda a bit sadist to give that poor guy the wristband. Now that he ''remembered'' that girl that never existed in his reality, it's like he will be chasing a mirage... Well, since I read the synopsis of the season 3, I know a bit why she said that at the end, but I wonder when that scene is happened. From the way she say it, it look like she have been separated for a long time. |

| Hmm so the last 2 episodes essentially took place before S1? Or was it, infact, after S2? Well regardless, quite an OVA. The ending is the most interesting though...I wonder what's up with Yuuji? 6/10, should start on S3 soon. |
 |
| Pretty sad story... the more so when you realized that her brother was probably also eaten by this tomogara and that not only her parents lost two of their children but that the future she had in front of her and marriage with Yukio was also lost. I liked it. Probably the most mature story of Shakugan because the rest of this series is either shounen faito or naive slice of life romance and this was very good drama instead. The moment when the boy started shedding his tears in search of something he had just lost was very emotive and symbolic for this series. |
| Well, that short story was kind of a downer. |
| And that's the end of the OVA series. Great episode to conclude it. The OP for this series was pretty dope, not gonna front |
| Having rewatched this again, it was decent... nice little bit to tide over between seasons, and also a 2 episode short story which seems almost like it was a proof of concept 1-shot for the premise of the franchise. Also serves as a nice flashback and snapshot recap when including after credits, with some foreboding. I can also see how it can be a bit confusing. It lead into an epilogue after the credits, even though it seemed pretty clear that everything prior was before Shana met Yuji. If nobody noticed, the ED song sounds a hell of a lot like this song: Not sure if coincidence, morphic resonance, or just directly inspired. I don't particularly care for the lyric of this song by DHT, but the melody is hard to forget. |
