Shakugan no Shana-tan: Revenge — Recursive JCStaffism

October 19th, 2009

 

Stop that, you jerks!

Impressions:

With the limited edition full release of the second season of Shana comes another edition of Shanatan. As usual, JCStaff really knows their comedy, which just makes it perplexing as to why they don’t do more of it. The self-referencing to ToraDora (the shower scene) and Index (obvious) got a little bit thick at the end (and the start for that matter), but I did particularly enjoy Yuuji dozing off in the middle of the Bel spewing out exposition in the second "How and Why" segment. At least JCStaff can laugh at themselves. I am surprised with all the references that they didn’t work in anything about Railgun. Maybe they’re just saving up for A Certain Scientific Lesbian-tan.

I don’t even want to know what’s up with their frog obsession over the past couple years.

    I haven’t watched any season of Shakugan no Shana although it’s broadcasted on TV.

    Is the show shelf-worthy? Thanks.

      It’s a lot like Index in that there are good arcs and bad arcs in both seasons. Thankfully, you can skip the meh first arc of the first season and watch the rather good movie instead, the rest of the first season up to the final arc is rather good. The second season gets stuck in basically filler hell for most of its run, but the Pheles arc, Margery flashback arc, and Sabrac arcs (basically the middle half of the season) are worth watching too.

        Okay, no luck about the show’s movie but the boxset’s price is already a bargain. Thanks for the tip.

        Funny how i missed out on watching this when this was popular. Maybe a mecha/gundam show on adult swim…

    “With the limited edition full release of the second season of Shana comes another edition of Shanatan.”

    Actually, it came with a bonus DVD included with the Shana II guidebook, not a limited edition release of the entire season.

      Wasn’t that all part of one big pack? *shrug*

        Actually, no. The guidebook, “Shakagan no Shana II no Subete” is just that, a guidebook. It was sold seperately for 1,890 yen and includes 168 pages worth of character profiles, episode summaries and other information. The DVD containing both Shana-tan Revenge and a 3 minute “trailer” for Shana S was just a bonus with it. It was same with Hecate-tan being included on a bonus DVD with the first season’s guidebook.
