Shakugan no Shana <3

I was browsing throught my playlist again and nothing surprises to you readers happen again, I'm hooked on a new song. "Yowake Umare Kuru Shoujo" by Yoko Takahashi (Click on the Hyper link for the details of the lyrics and also the Singer).

What surprises me is that this is the singer which sang "Cruel Angel Thesis", "Aoki Flame". No wonder the voical sound familar.... Its a refound <3

Shakugan no Shana is a fantasy theme anime which features a girl who has no name, she is just known as a 'Flame Haze' who hunts down the 'Guze no Tomogara' who is using powers of existances of humans for fullfilling their own use throught the conjuring of 'Unrestricted Method'.

While the powers of existance is human's existance, once drawn will cause the human to cease existance, not just dissappear, but also the memories and record of such person in people who have came contact with the person before. Such sudden removal of human's existance will cause the 'balance' of world's existance to suffer a heavy setback, such that the ones who governs over this 'balance' send flame haze, whom made a contract with them for their respective powers to draw from their powers to battle with the 'Guze no Tomogara'.

What they do is that when a human has his/her existance drawn away by either the 'Guze no Tomogara' or their servants who feed on this powers, the 'Rinne', the flame haze will use what ever is remained to fix the surrounding. As the battle is conducted in an enclosed dimention name the 'Fuzetsu'.

It encloses the battle area, in which only the 'Flame Haze', 'Rinne', 'Guze no Tomogara' or special human name 'torches'(more to this will come) can move freely, but normal human beings will become freezed in time. Damage can still be done, so does the drawing of existance from normal human. Thus human who died this way, when replaced with a dimishing amount of Power of Existance, will become 'torches'

What 'torches' does is that it reduces the drop of the 'balance' uphold by the 'Lords of Crimson Realm' as it acts as a cusion which slowly allows the 'scale' to drop and not in a large scale.

While 'torches' are just 'torches', there are some special ones are the 'Mystes', they are normal 'torches' with a special magical objects call 'Hougou' or 'Unrestricted Methods'.

One such example is the main character, Yuji Sakai who is a 'Mystes' with the 'Hougou' name "Reiji Maigo" which replenishes the user's power of existance to full when midnight strike.

The main story revolves around Shana, the Flame haze titled "Slayer with Flaming Hair and Blazing Eyes", her name came from her sword "Nietono no Shana". It was given to her by Yuji when he felt that she should have a normal name instead of a title.

Yuji Sakai who tragically turned into a 'torch' without his own notice, but thanks to the 'Hougou' "Reiji Maigo", his able to keep his existance as a 'Mystes' till now. His fateful encounter with shana bring about the start of his epic adventure in his own self battle of existing or inexistance with the fate of his town, along with his friends in school all involved. This show is on an average setting but it really can make you glue to the screen, be it the battle between the 'Flame Haze' and the 'Guze no Tomogara', or just the Tsundere'ness of Shana going "Urusai".

An Ova for this show is boardcasting soon and a second season is in the production phrase, I'll look forward for the releases. <3

for now enjoy:
