Shakugan no Shana S 01 OVA Impressions (ALLCAPS EDITION)

Author: NovaJinx

I hate Shakugan no Shana. The novels were rather poor, the first anime season was mediocre and the second was total horse crap. So I really looked forward to the opportunity to make fun of it yet again as the SnS S OVA came out. Oh, and since it’s the INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY, HENCEFORTH THIS POST WILL BE IN ALL CAPS.

I DIDN’T FEEL LIKE WAITING FOR THE SUBS TO BE FARTED OUT, SO I DECIDED TO JOIN KURO‘S BADASS RAW WATCHING SESSION. SINCE MY JAPANESE COMPREHENSION IS QUITE LIMITED, I DIDN’T REALLY GRASP ALL THAT MUCH OF THE SETTING. APPARENTLY YUUJI AND SHANA ARE SEARCHING THROUGH A HEAP OF OLD ITEMS TO FIND SOME WITH SPECIAL POWERS. YUUJI HAPPENS TO FIND A SMALL TELESCOPE AND BEING A MORON HE IS, HE DECIDES TO TAKE A PEEK AT SHANA WITH IT. NOT SURPRISINGLY THE TELESCOPE IS ONE OF THE ITEMS THEY SEEM TO BE AFTER, POSSESSING A POWER TO SWAP MINDS BETWEEN BODIES.

SO SHANA AND YUUJI SWITCH BODIES AND HILARITY ENSUES. AND PANTY SHOTS. YES, YOU HEARD IT RIGHT, THERE ARE PANTY SHOTS IN THE SHANA OVA EVEN OUTSIDE COMBAT SCENES. NOW WHAT STRUCK ME THE MOST IS THAT THIS SHIT WAS ACTUALLY FUNNY.

15:03 !NovaJinx • JC STAFF PUT PANTY SHOTS IN SHANA

15:03 !NovaJinx • AND THEY MADE IT FUNNY
15:04 !NovaJinx • GAIS WHAT IS THIS
15:04 !NovaJinx • ITS UNPOSSIBLE

ALTHOUGH TECHNICALLY IT’S YUUJI AT THE WHEEL, THOSE DYING FOR SEEING FLUSTERED, NON-TSUN SHANA ARE IN FOR A HELL OF A RIDE HERE, BECAUSE DURING THESE 24 MINUTES SHE SHOWS MORE EMOTIONS THAN IN BOTH TV ANIME SEASONS COMBINED. SO YEAH, IT WAS QUITE FUNNY AND WORTH A WATCH EVEN IF YOU DIDN’T LIKE THE TV ANIME. DON’T EXPECT ANYTHING MORE THAN COMEDY THOUGH.
