How is the movie related to the anime? Is it a sequel or a different story?

Not sure why spamming already posted information will do us any good, and the movie still doesn't have a theater/DVD release date. It's still a long wait. What this thread will contain will just be pointless speculations about its production and fanboys saying either "this will cover the plot" or "this won't cover the plot." Pointless.

Sounds intresting im waiting to see the final episode anyone know what the movie is suppose to be about. Im not sure if i should get excited or not i guess well have to wait and see

[npal]

I think it's ok to have an extra thread just for the movie (and speculation about it). Unless a mod has a different opinion of course.

After the ending credits for the last Shakugan no Shana TV episode, there was an announcement for a movie coming soon.

Either the Shakugan no Shana movie will end up being a parrallel recapitulation of the anime's plot but taking place within an alternate reality and presenting a whole new set of different characters except for: Yuuji, Shana, Alastor, Kazumi, and the other Flame Hazes.

Just as it was the case in

Escaflowne: A Girl in Gaea Movie from the TV series.

and

Utena: End of Adolescence Movie from the TV series.

Or it will be a direct sequel that will carry on the storyline where the anime left off like was the case for FullMetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shambala.

I hope it's the second, since from what I hear the ending left some things to be desired, and since the movie was announced with the end of Shana, it's more likely to continue the anime plot (or so I hope)

/me really hopes it is about Book 10 ^_^;;

It had better be a sequel. We need conclusion!

[CaiSter21]

yea
i wonder if they will pull a "school rumbe"

like how at the end of eps 24, it says that there is going to be a movie

and it turns out that the movie is a sequel instead of a recap of the last few eps plus a little bit extra

[shaolinx]

s1 covers half, so the movie should cover the other half or parts of it. hopfully theres left over for a s2

ive allready read somewhere when sns was still running that there is allready a planning or even progress of making a second season. I dunno if i just read shit or it was simply mistaken for the movie.

You read the "2 season" thing which everyone misinterpreted to be 2x26 when it really meant 2x12.

All I can say is "Yuuji and Shana BETTER make out!" XD
Nothing graphic. Just one little kiss is all I want. And there has to be a mutual confession of course or stated clearly that they are a couple. Shana-chan took the first step. Come on Yuuji, be a man! XP

You read my mind.

I would actually be disappointed in this. It sounds too straight-forward and trite. One of the interesting things about the story is the complex interaction between the characters. Having it end so simply just wouldn't make sense.

Shana & Yuji kiss.. that would destory the story, i'd like it a lot more of Shana just gave him a lemon bread. ^^

Not lemon bread -- melon bread.

Incidently, it is named melon bread because of it's shape, not because there is any melon in it. Actually it is made with layer cookie dough wrapped around the bread dough and cooked together. Some radical and untraditional melon bread is made with a melon filling, but I don't know if Shana likes that variant.

I got it wrong on purpose..

Hmm, all i can say about the movie at this point - i just hope Ko Otani does the music. ^^;
