Most English dubs for anime = NOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS
Only Pokemon seemed to have good dubs when I was little... XD I just re-watched Shana 2... Missing the Hishokou No Sora Piano version... hopefully they'll put it soon on the up coming OVA DvD.

the bad guys seem to not do enough of research as to why the good guys are countering them everytime. Some research, take Yuji out, the brain of the team = win? (obviously I dont wanna see Shana-tachi lose) Not to mention I am kinda annoyed that the bad guys always gives a lecture about their ability, plans etc to the good guys and they dont seem to want to finish Yuji off even after extracting the Reiji.
Love this series, I guess I have to ignore such stuff =p |

Yeah now that you remind me, people in that universe looks down on Torches/Mystes. Guess they never learn their lesson with Johan.
edit : Just rewatched the last epi, if I was Meta, i would have punched a KingKong fist into the Seeking Researcher's mouth xd. Even as a Ayako Kawasumi fan, I found Kazumi is freaking annoying... + Hope to see Sabrac, corpse retriever and the boy with the hood in S3! |

I finally mustered the energy to start watching this series. Now I'm still at around episode 9 (or was it 10?). I just realized that the series wastes too much time on the romance aspect of the series. From the nature of the plot, I believe it's more suited to action with a good helping of romance. They overdid the romance.
They wasted like 4-5 episodes on Shana's angst against Konoe. I only remember about 2-3 episodes with any decent action in it. Now it looks like it's another 4-5 episode flashback arc... I still eagerly awaiting for something exciting to happen that's not in a flashback. |

I totally agree with you on the first half of this anime though.

I agree that there probably should have been a better balance, since devoting the first half to the love triangle/square made the story meander quite a bit, but I thought the episodes were very good in their own right (Except for maybe episode 7, which I honestly didn't like that much), and it's pretty aggravating that the only sort of 'discussion' you're likely to find online about the first half of Shana II is a bunch of people saying 'this sux lol'. |

What gets better in the second half is Yuugi, who seems to regain the brain he forgot in his desktop during the first half.
If you like action, there is more fights in the second part too. If you like something to happen, you can scrap pretty much the entire season and consider it never happened, because it's basically how it can be summed up - especially the romantic aspect, which basically preserve the statu quo with a cowardice and a passivity that would make Takashi proud. |

Looking back, I think it's kinda funny that so many people assumed Shana III would pull a Zero no Tsukaima and that the storyline/character relationships would never progress. Refusal to progress is... definitely not a criticism that can be levied against Shana III. "You think we'll just stick to the status quo and never change things? Well then, we'll just run in the complete opposite direction and make things change so fast that you'll have no clue what's going on! Enjoy having Yuuji change into a villain before the first sixty seconds of the series is finished, lol! Who's the status quo clingers now? Owned, bitches" - J.C. Staff
