| Well, I would miss this series. |
| Beautiful simply beautiful. loved the episode. |
| I'm speechless. Best ending i could possibly imagine. My favourite anime of all times and my favourite character Shana. She will always have a place in my heart. |
| 10/10 to series :D Damn il miss these series. SnS felt so similar to ZnT both had also weird way to end anime but i loved both series 10/10 .. il really miss both of em T_T ... |
 |
| This was a perfect end to the series i felt, and before even watching it i was thinking, the way to make this episode prefect would to be to include hishoku no sora... I was so shocked when it happened and i was soo happy. Perfect end. Though I'm very sad there wont be any more. |

| So if would review/correct/agree, Season 1+2, Basically the adventures of Shana as a Flame Haze. Little stories of the different enemies they fight, with an ongoing romance plot. Slice of Life, school thing. Some background stories of the different characters here and there. Season 3, Basically the whole thing was about Yuji's plan to free Flame Haze from their fate of fighting for eternity. The whole thing. War... for lots of episodes. >w< I've always been a fan of shana, but the last seaosn of Shana was a bit weird in terms of context from Season 1+2. I don't dislike the change, neither do I like it. O__O The plot was a bit confusing since so much plot context was put into 1 season... so yeah it was a bit chaotic. J.C. staff did a good job, I don't know who else could have done better. So... this season... I give it 10/10. Just because I loved the ending and it followed the novel (so people say). |
| This season was better than 1st&2nd together. It really suprised me at the end that they fought again as I expected Happy End, but... Stil 7/10 for the whole plot etc ; ). |

| Probably the worst season for me. It was 24 eps of nothing. "All you had to do was ask" pretty much sums it up. So stupid.... i'll give the entire series a 7/10 |
Kimberly said: Didn't watch it yet, but quick question for those who did. I don't have that good of a memory, so I'm going to ask all the ppl of MAL, what shana song? |
 |
| That's a satisfying ending. Everyone gets a happy ending except Kazumi who seems to be forever alone. In the novel Shana sung a love song to Yuji as they left for Xanadu and for obvious reasons JC Staff cut it out. |

| liked the ending , would have liked to see some Denizens hanging out whit flame haze's or humans tho :D i like them :3 . (rooting for the "bad guys" all the way) |
 |
| I've got very mixed feelings after watching this. I totally loved SnS first and second seasons. But this last one was a total mess. I couldn't understand more than half of what was happening on the screen (time to start reading novels). But this last episode still made me feel warm and fuzzy. Welp, I guess I'm just another sucker for scenes like this. I will miss this series. |
| I liked the previous series of Shana, but this one was pure crap. 3/10 and thank goodness it's over. |
| This ep had its ups and downs, and that goes for pretty much the whole season. There were alot of "fill in the blanks" moments with nothing to fill them with (unless you read the novels). The final fight was a bit anticlimactic. Sydonay's final form was boss, and the fight was real flashy and all, but Yuji was pretty much useless in the fight, so it didn't feel as epic as it should have been. I guess they were pressed for time and couldn't do much more, but even so, it was a bit disappointing. That, and they threw us a few curveballs there at the end that kinda killed the feeling of closure, like Yuji going back to being a human and whatnot. It gets you thinking if he is gonna grow old and die naturally, or if the "Reiji Maigo" theory applies to prolonging his existence forever (its a nice theory, sure, but it doesn't stand on solid ground). There is a definite sense of closure for close to everybody, but they popped open a couple of can of worms that will keep bugging me in the back of my mind when I think about this show. Overall it was a great series (I even enjoyed the last season, plot holes aside), and a (somewhat) satisfying ending. 8/10 from me. |
 |
| quite satisfying ending i guess.... but wtf, many flame haze were going too, to a 'heaven' created specially for denizens. what? are they going to start another war there? :( ...and what rage me more was that four gods were going to xanadu too!! :( |
| 5/5 for this episode, 6/10 for the entire series, without this ending it'd probably have been a 4/10. |
| Loved it from the beginning to the end. Never disappoint. |
Garfield4th said: Unahim said: Garfield4th said: What is the point in the new world for them if the flame haze go with them? How can that world be theirs if they are still in danger? I believe the Flame Haze don't trust the Tomogara yet and are thus going with them to keep an eye out. It'll now be Yuuji and Shana's quest to get them to all get along with each other. Yuuji said it could take 1000 years, now that he is "human" again won't he die and not be able to accomplish his goal? He isn't human anymore. Someone upthread said it was translation error. I think he's more a crimson lord now. The flame hazes and tomogara had been fighting for over thousands of years. The majority of the flame hazes are driven by hatred and vengeance. Heck, the flame hazes banished the God of Creation because he tried to create paradise for tomogara in this world. |

| Shana for me is a masterpiece never once in my life will I be able to forget shana's cuteness. I will admit this season was disappointing at first but the ending was great as I'd had hoped. |
| AGHHHHHHHHHHHH</3 IT REALLY ENDED-- D': ASDFGHJKLSLJKHDJGSFDK<////////3 I WANT MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TT____TT guhhh The episode was EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC *___* made me teary-eyed D': The final fight was totally awesome Q__Q Ahhh, I'm gonna miss the show </3 :'(((( and the characters, too <///3 a Happy-end, though ;__; ~Looking forward for more Kugimiya Rie's epic characters!! |
ichigo03 said: (...) But was it really necessary to do all of this? Like Shana said "You could've just asked".....Facepalm!!! No, actually it was necessary. Yuuji goal unlike Shana was creating a world where tomogara and Humans live together an work together and not only coexist with imposed non-aggression pact. Because of war both tomogara and flame haze accepted this condition and wished for it. Remember that also flame haze changed they goal from killing all tomogara unconditionally by all means, to simply protect humans by enforcing this no-kill law. Of course as it was implied several times if Yuuji tried to explain it to Shana, there is a chance that she would help him. But it wouldn't prevent a war, since other flame haze or tomogara wouldn't agree to it. And He was afraid too make her choose between him and loyalty to flame haze and don't want her to fight and kill her old comrades and friends. BK- said: So if Yuuji is a human again doesn't that mean he will start aging again? if that's so, it will get weird between Shana and him as the years go by lol I don't think so. He may be human but still is mystes with (upgraded) Reji Maigo that renew his power of existence. Secondly he didn't lose ability to cast unrestricted spell, so his more similar to flame haze but gets his power not from contracted Tomogara but from his Reji Maigo. |
| I will refrain myself to try to explain to what people just couldn't understand due to J.C. trying to cram too much material in this season. Yes the last part was done as decently as possible, but I can understand why people don't like this season because they feel lost. I laughed hard at many of the online bloggers (Sea Slugs, Tenka, etc.) who totally did not even understand the basic plot of the third season (nor did they understood Yuji's plan and the nature of Xanadu) and wrote off the series as horrible. Definitely lowered my esteem for many of them due to facepalm reaction I get when reading ridiculous conclusions and assumptions. Unfortunately, lately, whatever "review" people give looks more like ranting and venting their frustration and stress with RL into anime. Guilty Crown, for instance, generated that type of attention and I am glad this series hasn't generated that level of hate. Of course, everyone likes to vent form time to time (like what I am doing here right now) but sometimes, it just becomes really dumb. The last part of the original novel series was in fact rushed. Indeniably. But J.C. Staff somehow misled people through the first 2 adaptation... and the result is that people are confused... unfortunately. However, a good portion of the "confused" people simply didn't pay close attention and thought it would be a good idea to turn their brain off....Bad decision. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Dunno, I found the ending a little bitter sweet. To be leaving everyone behind them in the 'real' world without hesitation like that.. was a little saddening. Not Yoshida though, she got what she deserved ^-^ Loved the season, loved the series... was a little hard to keep up with but it was a magnificent job all in all. 9/10 |
 |
| Well tbh I enjoyed ZnT 100% more than Shakugan, mainly because the story of Shakugan a Lackluster sometimes. I almost feel a sleep the first 20 episodes. But it got interesting towards the end. What they did wrong in my taste was the boring explanations that didn't always make sense to me. But anyways, it was a good run nevertheless. The ending point for Shakugan no Shana and ZnT, now to make OVAs! Hope they continue to produce series similar to these. |
| lol 3/10 |
 |
| You know what, that wasn't too bad good. I was skeptical of this season but it turned out pretty well. |
| Great end to a great series, I will miss you Shakugan no Shana. 10/10 |
| I absolutely loved it. I have no idea why i enjoyed Shana so much but well... i did! The end was superb. Im a sucker for good endings so yeah. 8/10 from me. Kinda sad its over though. I was watching it since s1 :( |
 |
| Amazing end to an amazing series; Unlike many others i really enjoyed this season; i felt it was the best of the three, because while there may have been many new characters, while the story may have seem to be on to large of scale to cover it all, it truly was the best series because of what was shown in this episode; the reason Yuji did what he did, the dream he fought for; and the end result of his work. It was a perfect ending, and that kiss :D was everything i hoped it would be. YujixShana for eternity! (literally XD) This series will be missed :(, but at least it ended in the best of ways :D. |
 |
| i have never been more confused. |
| Beautiful, but also a little bit sad ending. Finally I was able to understand everything, but no enough love for Kazumi-chan made me sad. And the fact, that Yuji's parents don't remember him. And sadness still after Khamsin death, damn. But, for just an ending I'd rate SnS III 9/10. BUT. If this series would have 12-13 episodes, it would be far better IMO. Half of episodes were fights of randoms whose names I still can't remember, and so - there was no point in cheering anyone. Some of fights were pointless too, which felt pretty much like a filler. Besides, sometimes I was so tired of reading characters lines, so I didn't understand half of their boring talks, and it made big mess in my head. But, well. It was enjoyable season. Great animation, fights (even if boring) were beautiful. I liked soundtrack too, especially openings and endings. Especially "Light My Fire" is great song, I have it on my cell <3 Characters are likeable too, especially Yuji, Kazumi and Khamsin as for me, but Shana as main heroine, is one of those Tsundere who I accept, so she wasn't that annoying ;) Ah, and nice thing, that they haven't forgotten about Yukari. Overall, I rated this season 7/10, and I don't think, that I'll change it... Maybe if someday I'll rewatch it. |
