Woot So glad that there will be a third season of Shana after all.
This is kinda odd cause the night before I was ranting to my friends on ventrillo about how I was pissed that the Shana project that they had announced a few months ago was an OVA and not a third season. But today when I was checking ANN I nearly jizzed myself when I learned of a third season.

In a nut shell I am pretty happy =D

Mod Edit: Please don't double post.

Pretty happy - hopefully we can get any/most of the flashback eps done in the OVA series for S3 can be at least 60% action.

I'm just praying that if S3 is the final season they don't end it ala Tsubasa Chronicles.

This is the news i've been waiting for, big Shana fan! Although S2 wasn't as good as the first, i think that S3 has amazing potential!

Can't wait!!!! :D

If they do the novel end I'll be happy, the last 2 seasons had fillers at the end and changed the endings mainly.

That being said, the novels SHOULD be ending soon so they BETTER do the novel end.

I'm glad they at least clarified that they intend to end the anime series once and for all Maybe this time we'll get a proper ending, preferably one that follows the novel.

We launched "Shana Project" with a view to ending the Shana anime series. Before moving on to the third season, we need to describe the backgrounds and the relationships between the characters more in detail. So the project began with the OVA series.


is there a need to explain EVERYTHING again?=/

Sorry, I just assumed that his inflammatory comments on Shana continue to provoke people into emotional responses. (quoted that a bit from a wiki source) Given what he says is "fact" and anyone that argues with him is always considered "wrong." Or maybe I just misunderstood all of his remarks in the previous Shana announcement thread, in which case i would say I am wrong.

I'll be looking forward to them.... truthfully there was a lot of filler throughout the series, but certainly the animation is top notch and Shana fillers are still more fun to me than a lot of crap that's been on.

This will be a great way to round out the upcoming anime seasons.

But it is fact, Shana have a lot of filler and have average to low animation. Now you can accept that and still love it like me or not accepting that one of the thing you like got badly produced (Because it is good for you don't mean it couldn't have been way better) like fai.

or just like Fai you can pass your opinions as mere fact. Seriously even though the filler aspect cannot be disputed, just because we have 2 people saying the animation was not that good does not make it fact. If you didn't like the animation, big deal...but going around saying the animation was subpar as FACT does not make your opinions more valid than others...I personally loved the animation, considering season 1 was done in 2005, I dare say it was one of the best looking shows on that year, the same goes for season 2, but of course thats MY opinion, which is NOT fact, but neither is yours

Or just like game8910 you can stop accepting the opinions of others.


However animation quality can't be stated as "opinion", since animation quality is something to be judged by universal values common to everyone.

You can state opinion on Music, Animation Style, Art, Characters, Story, etc

You can't state "opinion" on "quality" of something, be it music or animation.


The animation in shana always lacked the OOMPH it could have had, 2005 had many things with great animation quality, Karas, Ayakashi~Japanese Classic Horror Stories, Basilisk, not to mention Trinity Blood, Blood+ or FMP....

Hell Even dreaded failures like FSN(which was like "previously on FSN" recap of its v-novel with everything mish-mashed into one thing) and Mai Otome(which was like a hentai doujin version of MaiHime greatness), had great animation quality, greater than Shana's

Hence why I always felt that SnS franchise would have had more quality if it was released in form of OVAs/movies, covering the parts of story, aka how Kara no Kyoukai is handled.

OMG, just stop. There's no such thing as universal values when those values change with time and even from place to place. You are basically stating a general consensus, and too bad for you, you can't force game to accept it if he really doesn't agrees with it. If he changed his opinion just to go with the flow then he'd just be a sheep.

With that said, can both sides stop trying to shove their views down the throat of one another? Neither of you will ever get the other to consider your view as the absolute truth.

I am just stating the obvious fact that while person can h ave opinion on various parts that compose one particular anime, there SHOULD be a general consensus on the level of production values

No matter how one hates the story or anime itself, one can still recognise the level of production quality in that show. Production values are something that you can compare to other values of that time and hence Shana is lackluster effort in this department.

As for opinions and "stop trying to shove them" - hey I am not the one who keeps jumping on certain people from thread to thread, just because they think in a way I don't agree with.

There's no "absolute truth" and no "supreme/superior" opinion, hence the things certain people in this thread are doing are just...stupid?

Sounds good I guess. Hopefully this'll be better than S2 though, ugh. S1 was a fun anime with the right mix of action and romance so hopefully they'll get back to that.

And lol at above conversation.

Thats right, had they not indulged themselves into horrible fillers, S2 of SnS would have had one of the greatest cliffhanger endings to ever be had ;]

Pretty much. It's become a "let's prove my view overrules your view" thing and that leads to nowhere. Now I have to agree that harrasing other people because of their views by stalking them from thread to thread is an act that should be frowned upon.

I respect your view and actually, I agree, the quality of the anime itself went down the drain during season 2. I have just a bit of faint hope (as a fan) that they will rectify things (mainly because the studio itself has been doing fairly decent work with other series) but I'm not holding my breath.

Anyway, I just really don't like arguments online between hardcore fans, because ussually both sides won't ever come to an agreement and it's all an exercise in futility.

Ok, lets see how it is in movies.
Matrix the first movie was like a god`s creation. The second was like carp. But the third was like humans creation, and the final fight was cool. ^^
Anime: Bleach
1. The Rukia plot. Great start. Cool fights, good story and tells a little about most of the characters.
2. The Bounto plot. Fights got worse, got a lot boring flash back`s and the new characters where a drag.
3. The Aizen plot. Fights are great, less flash back`s, the new enemy`s are cool too.
So if we look at my nonsense text we get that the first creation is always the best, but then the second comes and its usually worse then the first one. But at the 3rd one they usually try to make it good again, so i`m look`ing + and i think that the 3rs season will be great. ^^

Your Bleach example is not THAT good considering Bounto is filler. Actually, scratch that, it proves that filler ussually ruins things when done as merely stalling to put space between adaptation and original source.

The thing is, Shana's anime adaptation has always focused on this very lame Anime Original plot. Unless they are using the OVA to set things straight and reboot the series (I wouldn't mind them retconning season 2 altogether) I don't like the odds. In other words, the OVA might show what we can expect out of Season 3.

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.


I don't see how the hell does this apply to Fai except maybe the fact that he has an opinion completely different than you.
Fai is mostly right in a lot of point he pointed out and I don't think he said his opinion to get emotional response (Which he get because some people can't recognize that a thing they like have flaw).

Now you are mostly flamming him with irrevelant point meaning that you are totally off-topic on this thread wanting to have a point on Fai. That's really what I call trolling someone.

If you would look back to my previous posts i stated that I "expected" FAI to flame in this post JUDGING on the whole TROLLING he did in http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=88941&show=0

I don't get it , you are saying irrelevant but you should know well of that thread.

edit: maybe what he said MIGHT be right, but from the instances i see and read .. its either his way or no way ... if you do not agree with him you are "dumb" ect ... so what would that be?

friendly conversation? or is it just he is constantly baiting every person that looks at this and the previous shana thread, his opinion is shit ... if he has high standards good luck finding an anime in this past two season for him to watch ( BTW Fai , FMA brotherhood sucks) ... best thing to do is to keep it to himself or keep it out of this thread

He has never made statements that he claimed were objective, especially on matters like plot, characters or setting, but rather he said that compared with the shows in the same season it was released, the production values were bad. *That* is a fact, and he's perfectly correct to say that it is.

People talk about shows they don't like all the time - there are plenty of reasons why they do it. Do you honestly believe that you're so important that Fai gets a high out of trolling you? If you can't accept that he wants to have a discussion and raise negative points about a piece of fiction *you* should be the one keeping your thoughts to yourself.
Peace through Superior Firepower!
