Product Description The studio behind Toradora! and Ōkamisan and Her Seven Companions presents the iconic series about the spark between a hot-blooded huntress and a teenage boy as they maintain the balance between the ordinary world and the supernatural.Follow Shana the Flame Haze in this collection of special missions sure to fuel your passion for paranormal action. Find out what happens when Yuji accidentally triggers a found Treasure Tool while it’s pointed at Shana! Then, Yuji teams up with Wilhelmina to stalk their fiery friend—whose secrecy has become unsettling. Finally, in a two-part special, Shana tracks a Denizen’s trail by sorting through a Torch’s memories for clues. Her sleuth skills reveal a teenage girl’s heartwarming last days and a predator with a serious identity crisis! .com The four-part OVA (2009) brings back put-upon Yuji Sakai and Flame Haze Shana in new adventures only tangentially linked to the main story of the popular broadcast series Shakugan no Shana. In the first episode, the mismatched pair rummage through a mountain of junk until Yuji finds the Reshuffler--a magic telescope that switches the main characters' personalities. Yuji struggles to walk in Shana's platform shoes while she tries to restrain her outspoken nature in something approaching Yuji's mild demeanor. Sadly, the farce ends before the filmmakers have a chance to explore all its comedic possibilities. "Domicile" is even slighter, as Shana and her friends plan a surprise party for Wilhelmina. The tone of the OVA shifts from slapstick humor to weepy melodrama in the two-part "Overture." Finding the Demon who devoured the soul of Junko, a high school girl turned Torch, requires Shana to become deeply involved with her troubled home life and budding romance. Yuji and the rest of the cast remain MIA during this adventure. A different voice cast takes over the familiar roles, but the performances are very similar, and neither Shana nor Yuji require much in the way of acting chops. The S OVA series offers a pleasant, if undistinguished, diversion for the many fans of Shakugan no Shana. (Rated TV 14: violence, violence against women, brief nudity, risqué humor, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon (1. Reshuffle, 2. Domicile, 3. Overture, Part 1, 4. Overture, Part 2)

More excellent episodes
There are 2 separate episodes and one two-part story. The two-parter looks like it could have been a pilot to sell the series to the network. It has similar things going on as at the beginning of the series, but is a totally different setup with the characters.("ANIME: Storytelling at its best")

''OMG" XD I CAN'T BELIEVE ITS COMING OUT!!"
"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"

True To The Spirit Of Season 2
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.

very good ova
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.

Great Anime 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.

Shakugan NO Shana
i like the series but why is it only on blu ray and japanese are they going change it? if they make it in english dub like the rest of the series it would be better. And i wonder if it going on dvd as well.So is it all of the ovas on there then? well it said 110 minutes so i would think that maybe the case.

Really good
I skipped over these episodes when i watched all the season of Shakugan no Shana and i kinda regret it now that i watched this. The OVAs where good the dub was great and the mini specials where hilarious. Definitely a good buy if you like Shana.
