*A wonderful sequel to a fabulous series.*
It is highly recommended to complete the first season of Shakugan no Shana before watching this. This is a DIRECT sequel, so prior knowledge of the series is expected from you.
Shakugan no Shana II is sometimes viewed as a "filler" season due to the plot trailing off from the light novels where it originates from. It also received numerous "bashing" from fans of the previous season who complained that the first half of Shakugan no Shana II lacked actions. Personally, I really liked how they began Shakugan no Shana II so I have nothing to complain about. But many

== Shakugan no Shana II Review == (Updated)
By: ChaoticHoshi Ah yes, what better to have a second season with so many things left to answer from the first. STORY: In the anime Shakugan no Shana II we learn more about the Reiji Maigo (The treasure inside Yuji Sakai) and its real purpose, but in the process a powerful tomogara as well as former enemies have their eyes set on the this treasure which will put Yuji in harms way once again. The story does tend to start off at first slow which is in-fact a great let down. The usual tension continues between Shana and Kazumi still exists ... Jan 31, 2008
Story
The story follows up from the first season, i have to admit that the pace at the beginning is usually quite slow, unlike the first season with plenty of action and fighting scenes, this may have put the orginal fans of shana season1 in quite a dilema since it was like watching another anime, but after episode 12, the flavour of season 1 truly makes a great entry and i feel this starts the fireworks for season 2, bringing back what we liked best from the first season. Art In my personal opinion there are no complaints on the art of shana, its quite bold, flashy, ... Mar 25, 2008
Shakugan no Shana II for those not in the know, is the second season of the Shakugan no Shana series based off of the novels of the same name. The general plot of the series follows Sakai Yuji, a torch (a replacement spirit of sorts for those who have already died) who possesses the rare Reiji Maigo (an item that replenishes Yuji's existence everyday so he doesn't burn out), and Shana, a Flame Haze (whose job is to keep the balance of existence from being blown out of proportions) as they discover evil plots devised by otherworldly invaders called Guze no Tomogara along with their

Well, after I watched the first season enthusiastically, I was hoping to watch the second with even more enthusiasmus, but in the end I was quite disappointed with this season.
Story: 5/10 In the second season the origins of Yuji's Reiji Maigo are revealed and Bal Masque takes further steps to change the rule of the universe with the Reiji Maigo. (The reason for that is unknown.) Well, this time the story was glib. Over the half of the series only dealt with the Love-Triangle from season 1 and the schoolform of Master Throne Hecate, Fumina Konoe. (Well, it actually isn't a spoiler. You can tell it with ... May 11, 2008
Story (8.4) - A fine story, with no doubt, but comparing with the 1st season, my conclusion is that this 2nd season story is a bit worse..but no problem, still very good and very interesting to watch. Basically, Shana and yuji continue to fight a lot of enemies that want the reiji maigo, and in the process they find a lot about its meaning. Between the fights, there are some episodes where relations between the characters are the main focus.
As i said, its good, but i prefer the one from the 1st season.. Art (9.0) - No big differences between the first season and the ... Mar 28, 2008
For those of you who haven't finished watching the first season..watch that first and come back and watch the second season. That way the story wll connect together and piece itself quite easily. (just a friendly reminder)!
Shakugan no Shana II is a great anime to watch for those who wants action and some romance combined with it. Story revolves around the main characters Yuji, who is the male protagonist and is also the central character for the story's development. He is a Mystes, a dead sentient being who is kept alive with the power of existence (flame of life). He is also the most unusual ... Nov 29, 2014
I'm writing this after watching season 1 and season 2 recently (I've watched 3, but not spoiling), and season 1 was slow, slow to the pace that a snail would sneer. The story is great, and there is So much potential in this anime that I get miffed that they stretch it out so long.
Story: Much better in season 2, but only in episodes 12-24, episodes 1-12 are mostly about Shana and Kazumi being jealous. You'll get it when you watch it. After episode 12 is when it gets good, some of the sub-charaters and the mains realize their feelings. ... Jun 28, 2013
I thought I had seen it all until Shakugan no Shana Second, but this series just about blew me away with character development. All of the characters introduced in season one are involved, and just as important. The plot is fresh, and brings forth even more dangers.
I didn't start watching the English dub until episode 17, and I can honestly say the soundtrack is just as great as the Japanese. Justin Cook (Alastor), Colleen Clinkenbeard (Margery Daw), and Kent Williams (Marcosias) were a pleasant surprise to my ears, to hear voice actors from Funimation come into roles that they fit so well. I really did ... Jul 9, 2008
=-= Shakugan no Shana Second =-=
Story : 8/10 Well, unlike the first season, this one is focused on developing the characters more. Perhaps,too much.The first half of the show is mostly fillers.It actually reminded me of Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien.But, I suppose it wasn't that bad, because we got to know some of the characters' past and the sorts. BUT, the second half of the show kinda made up for it, because it was a lot better. It was almost as good as the first season. ... Aug 15, 2008
Much better than the first Shakugan no Shana, in my opinion of course.
Story: Even though it focused more on yuji's love life I really liked this story. The whole devlopment of yuji is great I believe and other characters start to bloom more like yoshida because she finally starts to take a stand. The story kinda failed when focus so much on the bad guy when she was in the same school as yuji. This story I think though is setting up for season 3 because other than Yuji becoming stronger nothing really new happens. Art: Same thing as the first one, its really good ... Jan 22, 2020
[Contains spoilers]
When I finished this I lazy and decided not to review this and continued to season 3 right away since the cliffhanger ending was quite interesting and I wanted to see the happy episode where I can finally relax and watch Shana and Yuuji dating and hanging around. But I saw season 3's first episode. Ahhhh, I wish I hadn't seen that episode, Yuuji has evolved again and I thought he couldn't be any worse than what he had been but now omg I can't describe this, this level is beyond words. I should have known that this was coming anyways, the way Yuuji ... Dec 20, 2011
Generally, the sequel of a successful series, or any series for that matter, falls short of the fame attained by its predecessor. For the first half or so of the second season of Shakugan no Shana, I must say that I was slightly disappointed with the content. However, by the end of it, I believe that season two has more or less achieved the same level of success as season one. With that being said, there were some differences - both good and bad - between the two seasons. As with all second seasons, I tend to raise my expectations and score them more critically.

The world is not what it appears. There are battles taking place that we cannot see, between the protectors of balance and those who want to destroy everyone living on this planet. That's the basic premise of this show and there's not much more to it than that. Shakugan no Shana Second is incredibly basic when it comes to the setup, but it delivers an experience unique to itself.
First thing anyone should know is that this series is the direct sequel to the first series, Shakugan no Shana. It is highly recommended to watch that before watching this series. The first series explains terms and ... Mar 29, 2008
Story:
A continuation of the first seaon, Shakugan no Shana II, leaves us almost right where the first left off. This season covers more of the social aspects to the characters lives while still giving the intense battles (more in the latter part of the season) that we came to love in the first season. Art: The art is basically the same as last season with a few imporvements here and there. Sound: The first opening song for this season JOINT is by far one of my favorite songs ever and Blaze the second opening isn't bad. Character: This season focuses more on the character development that the previous season ... Apr 1, 2009
WARNING! MY REVIEW REMAINS THE SAME FOR SEASON ONE AND TWO, SO DON'T COMPLAIN!
Well people we have come to another anime which is widely debated as either gold or fool's gold. Shakugan no Shana is all about a boy who meets up with a girl who poses supernatural powers. Then the boy discovers he has supernatural powers and begins utilizing it. Of course the two then start to realize their feelings for each other, but this only comes to light towards the end of season one and season two. Now I'll try to be neutral about this as much possible, I've seen the anime and ... Dec 9, 2012
They are so back! When the season 1 was more of an introduction to the series, this season brings out the whole greatness of the series.
There’s a long review coming…………… About the STORY The story is even better when plots are revealed. The mysteries and a lot of questions about the story are almost all answered. You are amaze even more with how the story unfolds. Let’s not forget how original and unique the story is, which make this series stands out a lot from others. From plot to terminologies to naming the characters, it is such refreshment. All this originalities makes me wonder if this ... Dec 15, 2012
For the second season of Shakugan no Shana, it was a lot more based on the romance and love triangles, where as the first season was a lot more based on action. The second season brought a lot more emotion and drama that actually had me crying my eyes out at one point for three episodes straight. If you have already watched the first season, you should already have a good idea what's happening in this anime so I won't spend my time explaining about the details. But overall, it was a 7/10. The only thing that bothered me this season was to how oblivious

Shakugan no Shana was, at least in my opinion, a pretty good show – it had strong action and good characters. I reviewed it previously (here: https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=287931) and most of what I had to say holds for Shakugan no Shana Second. The difference is... there's a good deal less of the good stuff, and more of the mediocre stuff. When we do get to the denizen-based action, it's really strong; the final arcs are possibly even better than the material in the original, but you have to sit through a lot of episodes of the teen drama with... not a ton of
