uh...no, I'd say such a move would be tantamount to suicide, even for flame haze team like Shana and Alastor.

besides, they don't know where the Bal Masque land base whose name I can't read (whatever, the place Fecor guards) is. Think it's far more likely at this point that Yuji or Shana accidentally knock off Konoe's bracelet.

Eggs was my first guess as well. Maybe 2 loaves of Melon Bread and a side of scrambled eggs with soy sauce...

Or there is the old melon bread tempura, or melon bread sandwich etc etc. What happened to the good old rule of those who can't cook get all imaginative?

That's as disgusting as Wilhelmina's cabbage roll.

You are right. I hope that someone will eventually accidentally knock off Konoe's bracelet.

If it turns out that she's Hecate, what would happen next? I'm not sure if Hecate can even fight. Does she have any combat capabilities?

She doesn't need to fight, all she needs to do is snap her fingers and Yuji will automatically jump to her defence

I'd imagine Sydonay's expression if he finds out that Hecate only wants Yuji for herself. Of course, the expression on Shana and the others are also in for shock.

I also wish that show would just hurry up and progress. I would not mind this slow progress as much if it weren't for the fact that there are only going to be 24 episodes. If the rest of the novels are going to be placed in this second season, it is going to become very sloppy and rushed, which I do not want to see. At this rate I hope they get a 3rd season on its way.

School Days' ending really lightened me up on Yuiji's mental deficiency in recognizing people's feelings so he isn't bothering me nearly as much, especially because he is trying now (Unfortunately foiled though).

Anyways I rated this episode a 7/10, better than the last one but I hope we get to more story than slice of life shana...

I can imagine it now. Konoe for some reason becomes Hecate. Shana jumps to attack, but Yuji automatically jumps to protect Konoe/Hecate (conditioning). Shana goes WTF, Yuji has a confused look on his face. Sydonay pops out from the shadows and does an evil laugh and goes on about his lovely pure Hecate. Konoe/Hecate glomps Yuji and tells Sydney that Yuji is enough for her. Sydonay has a nervous break down as does Shana.

Killing two birds with one stone! Yuji that player

Well I hope they don't finish in this season.. The novel is still going so if they are going to finish then it'll turn into a anime original ending... I prefer things to stick as closely to it's original source as possible.

thought you didn't like them having an increased presence this school material.

Correct me if I am wrong. S1 covered materials up to Novel 9. This S2 episode 6 used materials from Novel 8. Judging up to episode 6, there will be a lot of materials they need to cover from Novel 10. If there is only season 2, I doubt that they will be able to finish covering all the materials.

Now that I think about it, there may be a season 3 after all. Assuming J.C. Staff doesn't screw up.

well, except that volume 10 and 15 have absolutely nothing to do with Shana.

At best they've got 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 17; at worst they've only got 11-14. And 11 and 13 for all intents and purposes have absolutely no fighting material in them. and that doesn't even take into account how much each volume actually makes up in terms of episodes. (lets just say we're not going to be getting 6 episodes out of it like the first season did for volume 1)

way I see it, they are indeed at a severe disadvantage in terms of material and have to include more school material if they want to "stick as closely to the original source as possible."

I believe each novel takes up 3-4 episodes. Given that we have about 15 left, we can go with the 11 to 14 deal, and leave the season hanging with a cliffhanger (again).

I have to agree with both of you. Although Vol 10 and 15 is not related with Shana, they represented the past and the past certainly has some effect on the present. If I am not mistaken, the synopsis for Vol 15 states that some events in Vol 15 has some important consequences for the future. Even if they choose not animate Vol 10 and 15 in season 2, they still have to take account of these events. Just my personal opinion, though.

see, but they've already noted the events of 10. and 15? they really don't. the statement was simply that a character who had appeared in there would be important later on.

I also think that if they're going to drop anything, it's probably going to be the tenth and fifteenth novels at this stage in the season. An OVA would be awesome though.
