In 2002, Shakugan no Shana became the first 'modern' Light Novel.
In 2005, it became the first anime adaptation of a Light Novel.
For many years, Shana reigned supreme as the queen of anime. /a/. Japan. She dominated everywhere. Shana was the face of anime if ever there was one.
But the influence of Shakugan no Shana wasn't a good one. Her series poisoned the anime world in a way that no franchise ever has before or since. The damage caused by Shakugan no Shana continues to this very day.
It's been five years since the last material was released - since Shakugan no Shana III finished the March of 2012. I think it's time the world said goodbye to Shana, and anime was released from the shackles which bind it.
Why would anyone care what you think?
Commit the kill yourself.
>In 2005, it became the first anime adaptation of a Light Novel.
Not even close to being true.
But the era of the Shana clone has already ended, long ago. Even that which replaced her, the Kanahana Domination Period, has waned.
>>152108299

What?
Anyways, I'm here to pay tribute. Shana and her series will always hold a special place in my heart. As much as I've criticized J.C. Staff in the past of poor adaptation of Shana, I do praise them of their wonderful seiyuu, musical productions, and visuals. And for finishing the Shana projecting all the way to the very end.

Use your head and put two and two together. Or just one and one, if 2 + 2 is too difficult for you.
>>152108231
Now think about it Shana is also part of Isekai LN.
>>152108231
Boogiepop LN did that first and SnS is hardly the first anime adaptation of a LN. Your research sucks.

Shana is still best girl and top tsundere after all these years. And guess who recently won international saimoe?
>>152108912
This is no longer a joke.
Maybe Hina's year is right around the corner.

Hina won 2009.

His voice made up for it, though. Honestly might be the single sexiest voice in anime history.

What ever happened to Satoshi Hino?
>>152108966
Shana and Yuji deserved their eternal life together in happiness.

>>152109169
It took him like a decade to become alpha as fuck and by the time Shana 3 came out, I had already lost interest.
>>152109169
B-but didn't Shana use her PoE to sustain him on occasions? That's basically melting essences together!
>>152108231
S1: really good
S2: Worst season, school antics and messy romance during the day, battles at night. Hayate was so fucking obvious.
S3: Forced 52 episodes into 26 episodes. At least one couple scored in the end.

Second half of S2 was good though. S3 was rushed, but it had good action and fast-paced plot for the most part.
Shana is the cutest.

God, you're butthurt. I first gave honest input, then you turned around to insult and when I asked what you're getting at since you avoid explaining yourself, you went ahead to be a dick. At least I posted Shana, who is relevant and always a nice thing. On the other hand, you haven't contributed or explained anything once in any of your replies.
>>152110406
OP is an idiot anyways. Don't mind him too much, friend.
What the fuck is up with these recent "anime review style" shitposts? OPs post looks like some shit from MAL. This is cancer on a whole new level.

Shana is hot!
I recently rewatched it over the holidays and I still loved it. Shana still the cutest.
>>152114246
Shana has the cutest porn.

Shana was very popular but was never THAT popular. She never was the face of anime like Evangelion did in its prime. I think you're over exaggerating. I loved Shana (for the most part, season 3 was a colossal dissapointment for me) and I remember her fondly but I doubt anime is or was "chained" by her influence or anything. If anything the would be Haruhi.
For years after its release every anime tried to be the next Haruhi giving us a SoL high school setting with a twist and pseudo-intellectual dialogue. Fortunately the trend has bend fading out in recent years (isekai is all the rage now). So who knows what will be the next bunny everyone will try to follow.

How the hell are there still people voting for Shana in this day and age?
Clearly, I need to start following that damn competition beyond "See how far my waifu goes this year".
>>152118204
To be fair there hasn't been many memorable girls in recent years. Aside of girls like Asuna, Kirino or Madoka/Fate ones the rest are seasonal level at best. The Fast Food-ification of anime probably has something to do with it.
>>152112656
I really liked her design. Sadly, she was a bitch to the very end. Poor whatsisname died for nothing.
shana was never good
>>152118310
There's at least one girl that sticks around every year, above and beyond their respective shows. Kurumi from DAL or Saya from Dagashi for example. Shana should've been as sidelined as Haruhi by now, if not more.
Was the LN ever translated? I swear I saw quite a few volumes up many years ago but I haven't seen them again.
>>152118996
B-T had a translation effort that got DMCA'd years and years ago, yep. (somewhere around 2009, I think?).
Doubtful you'll find anything nowadays though.
The only thing Shana did was make every romcom featuring a loli romantic interest be voiced by Rei Kugumiya and have the male character be named some variation or Ryuuji, Yuuji, Luigi.
>>152108231
What poison? I thought the one that popularize isekai LN with shallow harem is SAO.
>>152108465
I too hold the series close to my heart, I still like it because of the "nostalgia" factor, but honestly I could not like anything else like it thesedays. It hits ALL the stereotypes, does everything we have seen 35263764354534590385039 times in every anime ever today. In some ways that shit ruined anime by being so popular.
>>152110199
Pretty sure Slayers was the earliest light novel adaption. And Scrapped Princess was adapted two years before Shana.
>>152119703
Viz licensed it 10 years ago and then dropped it after like 2 or 3 volumes. They are probably still sitting on the license.
>>152108231
Great thread, fuck off.
>>152108231
>>152108521
Alright, look. In Summer 2005, the season before Shana "poisoned anime," there were 16 TV anime. These consisted of three highschool harems, three highschool romcoms, two mahou shoujo, two mecha, twoterriblenon-mecha sci-fi-action shows, one non-romance highschool comedy, one highschool sports show, one elementary school CGDCT, and one show about the shinsengumi as cute girls. Shana didn't really do any major damage.
>>152123814
Would scrapped princess be worth checking out today?
I downloaded it a while ago during a freeleech but never bothered.

>>152124551
CGDCT shows were a thing in 2005? I thought that after Azumanga Daioh, they disappeared until Lucky Star.
It took me a few years to realise that Ito did the art for both Shana and Haruhi.
>>152109678
So not worth watching at all?
>>152126647
Starting for skipping most of Seirei's inner dialogues with Yuuji before S3, as I remember they interacting as soon as when Whilhelmina appeared, tried to take away Shana and Yuuji almost killed the maid with the big sword of the incestual twin.
>>152110481
Shana will always be the hottest.
Too bad JC Staff fucked up Yuuji's transition with the snake between S2 and S3 with those OVAs.
>>152132166
Also a entire vol, where appears the previous user of Alastor, the maid, the guy of white hair that appears in S1 and the Soul collector in his true form, but a least this have a manga
>>152129588
Yes, anon, summer 2005 featured Ichigo Mashimaro, i.e. the show that literally created the term "cute girls doing cute things."
>>152108231
Sadly we will never get a complete translation of the series, which is the saddest part of the whole mess.
