Shakugan no Shana: S - OVA Series [Blu-ray]

Shana and Yuji have been through a lot together, but for some reason she is avoiding him. Wilhelmina also notices Shana's odd behavior. Wilhelmina and Yuji are determined to get to the bottom of it. They snoop around and try to get answers from friends, but everyone is in on it. Ogata, Yoshida, Tanaka, Sato, Marjorie, and even Ikei seem to be keeping Shana's secret. Wilhelmina and Yuji think something ig is about to happen, but they may be mistaken.In another episode, Yuji finds a treasure that causes him to switch bodies with Shana. The 2 of them must find a way to switch bodies again before anyone notices. The treasure has a secret that would cause their body swap to become startling news if it was discovered. The last 2 episodes are a prequel to the first season. It covers a time when Shana was still taking the places of dead humans and had no social skills. They are actually a pretty touching little divergence.This OVA was pretty much what I expected. These 4 episodes do not advance the story at all, but are fun all the same. The atmosphere of fun and character development in season 2 are carried over into this OVA. The voice actors are the same as in season 2. By now, I've gotten used to the change. I liked all the new voice actors before they did Shana, and I think that they do a good job in this series too. I can't say that this deserves 5 stars, because it doesn't really advance the story any; or have anything emotional or exciting involving the main characters. Even so, I really enjoyed Shakugan No Shana S, and I think every fan of the series needs to see it.

"The year of 2012 is the best year for me" xD I always said to myself, "When is Funimation going to release all the Shana in one year?" Looks like it finally happen!! It actually took like "7 Years for Funimation to release these "AAA Grade Anime" Reason I give Shana a "AAA Grade" cause the series took awhile to come out also it one of the best anime characters in history!! Shana is a Tsundere other wise in english term a "Bipolar Girl" What makes "Shana" a favorite character is that she doesn't have huge over rated breast, she is not one your typical shy anime girls, she always manage to fight her way through in "TOUGH BATTLES", She always likes to eat melonbread "Morning", "Lunch" & "Dinner" Seeing Shana eat Melonbread is sooooo cute >< and the fact "Shana" always says urusai to "Yuji" a.k.a "Boyfriend" is what makes Shana the best anime character around!!! Blu-Ray & DVD Combo Pack set to release this December "PRE-ORDER YOUR COPY NOW"

This is quite a good ova for the Shana series. While I agree that it would have been nice to have the original english cast back it really doesn't detract from the overall story. The three stories presented here are a nice break from the main storyline. The first one, in which Yuji and Shana swithc places is my favorite of the three. It is also the one which has the most humor in it as the other two are done rather seriously. The second story is about Shanas appreciation of Wilhelmina and the third recounts the events immediately preceding the start of the first season. Though the three stories aren't directly connected to each other chronologically they are a very good "inbetween" for the overall series.

OVA had some nice plots....not as heavy as the main story line. The gradual awareness of Shana that what she wanted was something that she had to emerge in its own time was realistic and added depth to her character.

i gave crimson s a four out of five only because of the confusion in the time between the episodes. the first episode starts shortly after the end of the first season, but then in the last episode you see the events that lead to shana's decision to travel too misaki city!overall aside from the time issues it's a good, while not entirely necessary storyline-wise, addition for fans of the series

I ordered this as a gift for my brother. I do not watch amines too often, but I have seen some episodes from this one. I enjoyed the plot, and the graphics are quite impressive. It was not just gore and blood and big knockers, but actually had a story and meaning. Because of going a more difficult route Shakugan no Shana has done very well in its genre.

Two of the episodes were heavy and one episode was pretty far fetched. The heavy episode, I didn't understand if it happened before or after the series based on what was going on. . .There are also mini series in along in the combo. Very Japanese humor.A great addition to the collection though.

A collection of interesting side stories. They aren't necessary to the main story arc, but if you liked the series, they're worth watching.

I've had the three season sets for a while and watched them several times, as I like the characters. I finally decided to buy the ova series and watched it. The three stories included are enjoyable, but my favourite is the two part prelude to the first season. The body switch story was also good. The price I paid was reasonable for what I got.

I really enjoyed shopping here ... I got everything right product

The Shakugan No Shana series has always been a favorite of mine, I did really enjoy the OVAs

Good episodes, between season 2 & 3.

Les épisodes sont tout de même sympas, mais n'apportes rien vraiment de nouveau à l'histoire... et il n'y en a que 4 sur le disque, ce qui est très court.
