I am all for Yoshida + Khamsim (although the probality is near zero...)!
Ike can go... I don't know, It was him anyways that put Yoshida in such a postion after all, insisting on the bond between Shana and Yuji not being "Romantic". He got himself into that... XD One thing that I might forsee is Ike using Yoshida's Hougou instead of her... to show his true love... XD Then we see Yoshida crying etc... then epic end... ( hopefully with Yuji and Shana both alive... ) sht... why am I talking of the end anyways... I don't want it to end! XD |

Considering they turned novel 14 into 6 episodes, I don't really know if there's any proper measure of how many novels would be required.
Ofcourse, none of the proper foreshadowing for the current story arc in the novels was in the anime because it was cut out (the foreshadowing goes as far back as the Friagne arc in the novels), but the end of the second season sets it up so that this (if it is indeed the third season) would start with the arc. Believe me, this arc would make as much sense as a flying penguin living on a tropical island if we don't somehow get all that earlier material that hints at it somehow, so I'm almost certain that about 1/3 of this possible 3rd season is going to be an original story arc to patch things up. |

Whatever happens, I hope the powers that be schedule things so that the novel series will be allowed to conclude, and that there is enough time so that said conclusion could be animated (rather than some anime-original conclusion, which is what happened to Toradora, if memory serves). This of course assumes that the novel series is winding down, and that the third animated season would be the final one (please correct me if any of these assumptions are questionable).

Thanks for the correction. I'm not familiar with the Toradora franchise, but I've encountered quite a few fans who think that the anime conclusion diverges enough from the novel series conclusion to be considered anime original (hence what I said in my other post). Whatever -- I'm not taking sides on that issue since Toradora doesn't interest me too much at the moment.
But I don't exactly want Shana to go the way of the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime series, which had to go on an (apparently inferior) anime original path when the ongoing source material was exhausted. Last edited by mitsuganae; 2009-06-29 at 09:44. |

^ agree with fma analogy
though was episodes 1 to like 10 in the second season all novel too? i thought it was like side story filler or something, when i watched it, it was complete trash what im trying to get at was the lack of progression and im not sure if the content was novel or not |

Episodes 1-11 of the second season are filler material, I believe. Beyond that is novel material up until episode 22(I think). |

Everything onward from the point when Hecate shows up at the end of 22 is anime original.
Even the end where Shana is smiling as if she sees Yuji coming is anime original, though I'm not going to go into details of why it isn't in the novel due to the fact that a full explaination would be a massive spoiler. |
