I love you too guys. Not that you hurt my gigantic pride, I just felt a need to clarify it. Naruto was one of my first anime and since then I'm a huge fan of shounen. But seeing how Naruto manga fails now I haven't read it in ages and I keep it still in my favorites for the sake of it till I catch up.
Second, you wanted a real opinion why I don't like Shana. Same as other people, I don't think there's a point in stating it, "not more shana" train should be good enough, but let's try to make it short. I went in expecting a good show, a good strong tsundere lead, action, etc. What I got was female protagonist who spent most of her time on the rooftops wondering why she feels so strange when she's next to Yuji. They focused way too much on the crappy romance, action was boring too, and they decided that it'd be totally awesome to insert some fanservice, yeah that's great, but Shana looks like she's 10 and if I wanna fap to a loli I'd much rather watch hentai/play rapelay than watch an actual anime. Feel free to investigate my favorites further to make your argument more valuable.


When I said that I was mostly joking and I didn't meant it as an argument at all.

Your expectation is in no case an argument, it don't affect what the show is. While I do agree that they focused too much on the romance (which isn't something bad to begin with, just something who don't fit your taste) there is a good part of action but you didn't even make it there.
Talking about a show after you seen only the six first episode is what I call weak to judge. The romance won't go away, the second season ''filler'' are boring but in no case the novel material is.
Now if they adapt the end of the novel as a season 3 you have nothing to cry about, it will be 5% romance and 95% action, you just need time to let the story started.

It's like dropping bleach after episode 8 cause you're bored of karakura & rukia crap when the better is going to come soon.

And why she sits on rooftops pondering her love has a pretty good explanation later on. Though yeah, the romance is pretty bad in the begining, but it get's much better towards the end imo.

Action boring? Well what do you say good action is? Going "HNGYAAAAAA!" and getting random powerups midbattle? Maybe i was naive to think you'd actually finished it when you complain like you do, but i think you'll find the action to be good if you continue. Maybe the thing is that there is no superfocus on the action, like three episodes per fight?

And the fanservice... I don't know about you, but i've never fapped to an actual tv-anime. What the hell? And while i can agree with the fanservice in Shana is pretty pointless (like in all shows with fanservice?) there is so little of it that i can't see how it's worth complaining about.

To be honest, I love the songs too .... Blaze is my favorite and so is Sociometry. ironically they are all from the second season. :p

I didn't mind romance because the whole time i was rooting for shana. If you expected all action, an anime with nothing but sword swinging and punches would get a littile boring imo.

I think the story is well, for all those people that have different tastes.. dont watch it if you dont like and than complain about it after a couple episodes, that is the most irritating.

True, I hate idiots who comment about a show when they haven't finish it, even more when they haven't even seen half of it -.-.
I'm not asking the people who disliked it to finish it but they better not to comes saying anything about it before they saw it completely.

I wished they'd resolve the relationships plots. After the first season, all I'm really interested in is the resolution of the love plots. They killed any and all proper progression of the rest of the characters, so not really interested in much else.

Although, I find it very interesting that they'd restart the project after the direction they started to evidently head in during the 2nd season. Really, really odd.

Sorry to tell you but you aren't right at all.

Tough it's true that they won't be fighting about who yuji like.

Though it would be cooler to have it now rather than later.

I'm kinda surprised. What can they do with an ova? I hope it's not some random comedy episode like the hot spring one in the first season >_>

It's bad because to begin with OVA are really often monthly released and OVA serie are often around 3 episode.

I don't mind the current TV quality so I don't care at all about filler OVA, I fucking want a serie ._.

Oh. Well if it's an ova series (that follows the story) it's actually great news. They didn't have to make each season 24 episodes, so the last one being shorter would be very welcome.

For someone that talks down about this series in general, you give the impression of knowing fillers when you read the novels??

Hopefully the OVA will be good.

Whenever they do make a new season, I hope to god half of it isn't filler like SnS Second. Shana's main problems are the filler and the god awful romance being crammed in it all the time.

Otherwise, it is a decent show to watch.

I also feel the need to mention ZnT being way more likable...at least until the 2nd season ended. 3rd was just ugh...

Do I need to say that they have a lot of material to cover ? I don't think it would even fit in a no filler 13 episode serie.

I just hope that the 3rd season will have 75% Action And just 25% for Romance Story^^
In 2nd Season we had just 25% Action And 75% Romance Story^^

But I love The Scene When Shana Ask Kazumi How To Make A baby^^

There is no 3 season but some ova ._. I wish they could do a third season tough.
It would probably goes 90% action, 10% romance.
