This series is a complete fail.

Wow that was boring.
Needs more Kazumi.

Can't believe so many people hate this one/found this one boring. I thought this was the best OVA yet.

It wasn't "oh man, their bodies swap, isn't that wacky!!!!" and it wasn't "what's she hiding? let's stalk her! oh it's food and things! sentimental value!!!!!". It was backstory. Which is always nice. I loved it. Looking forward to the next (and S3)!

Also, anything that gives me more Shana and less-- even better, NO-- Yuji is A-OK in my book (despite how crucial he is to the actual story, I'm not a big fan of his).

Well yeah I can feel kind of bad about that girl that she become touch and her whole exist be gone.

This OP just keeps getting better. : >

And Shana is just as bad at interacting with humans as usual ^^;

This is way better as a character study than action, and honestly it's better without Yuji. I ;_;'d a bit.

Better than the first two series combined. ugh.

It was alright...
wasn't that good or entirely boring/bad =/

No Kazumi? Instant win :>

Everyone likes another character so that not win. Kazumi's neutral for me.

On the episode: It was ok but nothing special, little sad and boring episode. Honestly I cant understand why u guys rating it to the max. 5/5

Great episode, though I did find it a bit slow/boring.

That was a really sad episode, I nearly cried. Actually without Yuuji, this episode makes it more interesting, only Shana. Want the 4th episode ;_;

Guess people hate or like it cuz it has less of the other characters. I'm for the hated side. Too much Shana means boring and slow. Needs the supporting cast.

Another lesson for Shana. I'm just not sure where to put it on the time line.

should be pretty obvious....this is before season 1 episode 1

QFT!

I thought it was an excellent episode, and the focus on the Torch Junko & her family was very well done and poignant. For some reason I liked Junko right off, and watched with curiosity where she was going. And then she runs into a fierce-looking Shana... oh shit... this won't turn out well...

The anxiety mounted with each passing second that the confrontation lasted; when Shana extinguished the Torch it was just so sad. Fans seem to gloss over the fact that these Torches are human (or were) and that their existence becomes as if naught; their entire lives are wasted, as are their influences upon their family and friends. I felt the same way after Hirai Yukari was taken. It's quite tragic :-(

Kinda surprised at all the haters; ya can't have (and/or don't need) action in EVERY episode, jeez. I'm sure that the next OVA will supply plenty of it.

Over the course of these three OVAs I've enjoyed the balancing out of all the aspects of the regular series.Since it's just a series of OVAs I'm not expecting anything too exceptional in the ways that a series might deliver; usually OVAs are just put out to maintain interest in a series or else just cashing in. These are actually adding to the Shana canon, which is cool :-D

While it's true that the action's been lacking, the balance will be restored after the next, and then we will see how they treat Season 3, which I'm REALLY looking forward to!

I definitely think it qualifies as one of the better episodes.

That was a pretty sad episode.

i think this episode, and of course the next, is some sort of a stand-alone seinen version of how a Flame Haze works as a being that preserves the balance of existence, sometimes mingling around with the lives of Torches, those who are about to fade from existence.. this seems to be a different take on how the universe of SnS work and it can only be done before Shana met Yuuji.. i really like it and i believe this is one of the more uniquely better episodes.. i hope the next one brings this issue to a good resolution..
