Shakugan no Shana III, The Unwanted Return

Author: nova

I expected it to be over for good. I thought wrong. Many of you are undoubtfully aware of it but just in case there are some like me who managed to miss the news last autunm let me type it up here. Shakugan no Shana, a light novel series adapted into two seasons of mainly sub-par anime, is getting another anime that’s likely to air this autumn.

Not that this was unexpected – anyone can tell that JC Staff has been going crazy with light novel adaptations as of late. Unexpected – not. Unwanted – absolutely! In all honesty I must say that I had hoped that Shana would never again return in animated format. The second season of the anime was such horse shit (possible spoilers in the linked articles, although it can be debated whether SnS 2nd has anything that could be spoiled) that I haven’t even seen many of the hardcore Shana fan camp bother defending it. But as I am aware that vast majority of the common folk out there has astoundingly crappy taste in things such as entertainment, I have no doubt that there are a lot of basement dwellers jumping in joy for being able to see moar of their dear tsundere Shana-chan. But let me tell you something.

Shana-anime is fucking shit and the novels are equally dull and childishly written, intended for equally childish audience. Tsundere for the sake of tsundere isn’t cute and high school teenage love triangle shit is not something to prioritize over an actual plot. Fuck JC Staff and fuck this shitty anime.

Ahem. Guess that says enough of my feelings on the matter.
