yeah for one it'd be definitely cheaper to produce maybe making the price of those pricey dvds go down a little of course it'll be harder to spread as some people are like "omg no way am i ever gonna read while i'm watching tv, reading is so 20th century" but i'd definitely be happier but i'd miss those TL notes you only get in the fansubs

but then again i usually watch a dub to pay attention to everything in the background like facial expressions and such that i'd usually miss while spending time reading the subtitles, that being said it's still so much more enjoyable with the Japanese voices i should take time to learn it :P

Please remember, though, that the topic for this thread is Shakugan no Shana itself. The old and tired "sub vs. dub" debate is probably best left for another time, another place. (Or, perhaps, no place... )

What do you mean old and tired?

And isn't this thread kind of useless now that we actually have our own subforum?

Well, I mean that I'm sure we've heard plenty of "dubs suck, subs rule" debates before. At least I know I have... it's one thing to comment on the quality of the dubs of the first season, but I think the idea of a "Sub Only Movement", and the implications of that, is better left for another thread. In other words, I was just trying to say, let's not go too off-topic here.

Well, it's intended for general discussion of the first anime season specifically, but I see now that it doesn't say that explicitly. I'll update the thread title to reflect.

... uh... maybe?

But seriously, this thread is the generic thread. We've broken down most of the generics into specifics. What is there left?

Nope -- discussions about episode 1 of the second season still belong in the episode 1 thread, while more general observations on the second season belong in the second season general discussion thread. This thread can be used to discuss anything related to the first season of the anime.

you know, in singapore when there is gundam seed destiny the dubs were terrible, and there were subs WITH the dubs. what they say in the dubs are completely different from the subs. i switched to japanese voice immediately since its dual sound lol.

Just finished watching in one shot and loved it very much!! I like the ending best where Yuji used his own will to defeat Hecate. My favourite character is Yuji..haha By the way, is the lady with three eyes still with the other twos Belle?

Just finished watching the anime. Goddamn it was nice. It is guaranteed in my all time top 5 anime list. Besides the outstanding drawing the visual effect, the background music was also quite smoothing and it fits in quite well with the current situation displayed in the anime. I watched finished the whole series in 1 go and I still feel so energized!! I would give it a perfect 10/10. In the anime, I liked Shana and Kazumi.. They are just adorable and they both play quite a vital role in the anime series.

To be honest, this anime have a quite unique introduction. At the starting of the anime, it is already quite heart shattering and I almost cried Indeed quite unique and the plot just catches my attention without even realizing it. But I do have a doubt in mind. Is there any second season where I could see the continuation of this fabulous anime?

[Fate lover]

I also rate this anime a 10/10 because it follows a very unnatural storyline which captures my heart a lot. The characters are also drawn quite beautifully plus the shading effect is superb.

I am just wondering here...What does Kazumi mean when she declared war against Shana. That meant that there really is a second season, right?

The second season is almost finished, there are tons of Shakugan no Shana II threads. A bit looking around doesn't hurt.

That is one major nice news, hehe. Can you share with me some threads for downloading it? Thanks

[bongky]

Thanks a million Toreno. You've lighten up my world as I was quite desperate to find out whether there was a second season or not as I can't wait to see the continuation of this marvelous anime. Just after watching the first few episodes, tears was already flowing down my cheeks as the first few episodes was really heart jerking. The 1st season ended with a quite fabulous settings which leave anime lovers to logged for more of this anime.

Yep, they focus a lot on Yuji and the Reiji Maigo. Also the pace is a bit slow at the beginning of the series.
