I feel that the extra scenes from the first part of the movie offers more thorough explaination than the anime series and smoothens the storyline as well. I kind of like it.

Why is Shana's face in the photo censored?

BasilAbdef · 2007-09-28, 22:57

Anyone know if a group is going to pick this up and sub it? I found a version with Chinese subs, but that doesn't help me much...

I don't know how to put it into words, but I'd say that the general gist of it was to give the viewers the same kind of reaction as what Yuji had, that Yukari had become someone else out of the blue and that person was apparently Shana (when you see Shana at Yukari's desk the next morning). It probably also reinforced the fact that Shana had "successfully" taken over Yukari's role because everyone's memory of what had been Yukari was now Shana.

Arr, my movie package arrived today. This is probably one of the nicest single releases in my collection as of now. The three-disc DVD casing has truly wonderful art, the movie tape cut-out was a nice surprise (I got four frames of a scene with Yoshida collapsed infront of a sofa) as well as the movie poster. The storyboard copy and special booklet were nice additions as well. Well worth its money, I'd say. Now off to watch it.

Lol! that really sucks
anyways mine is done, time to go watch, be back to post comments
thank you for subbing this SS and Eclipse

JagdPanther · 2007-10-03, 20:08

Yeah, with my laptop gone there's no way for me to torrent this so I'm stuck trying to grab it via IRC.

It's going god-awfully slow. It'd take several hours to grab. I hope this bot supports resume. I forgot to check first. >_> There's no way I can spend all the time I need tonight to get this movie. I'll have to spend some time tomorrow trying a resume. Either that or do some over the weekend when campus internet is working better.

Many thanks for SS-Eclipse for another wunniful sub.

I have to say I didn't enjoy the movie at all when I compare it to the series. On its own it would have been okay, but since I just finished SnS the series is too fresh in my mind.

Spoiler for why I didn't like it so much:

**Klashikari** · 2007-10-04, 10:38

The movie was pretty much a very nice addition.
Giving back the details of the novel, it was much more enjoyable though some details weren't possible to add, considering the time constraint

Spoiler:

a very good adaptation, though i think "newbies" will be a bit lost. The movie is still a but fast paced, and you feel the rush.
But it really worth this "remake".

Jaden · 2007-10-04, 13:47

I never saw the series, but a friend of mine made me watch this anyway. I expected that it wouldn't be very interesting to me, but the animation was nice, so I thought I wouldn't fall asleep watching it, at least. I was suprised and impressed! This movie stands great on it's own. Really kept my eyes peeled from beginning to end. It didn't even seem like a compilation of the original, lengthy story, but rather a prequel, something like the story of where Shana got her name from....only realised the truth by looking at this thread. Great movie.

Ashlotte · 2007-10-04, 15:31

Imagine my embarrassment searching for a shana sub-forum this whole time...

Ah but the movie was good. Its been awhile since I saw the series but I got a very big deja-vu from the first half or so. I'm going to guess that was mostly recycled from the series...But all and all it all came together nicely.

Poor movies never do get enough time to tell a complete story like full series do, but I think this one did a good job of getting the important parts across as well as having some very nice eye candy action.

Bring on season II I say...Just lemme re watch Season 1 first to refresh the old memory.

see Shana is not completly flat chested

The difference between not completely flat chested and completely flat chested is irrelevant. So she is flat chested in the end.

Hurray for Yoshida bath scene. Nice bust size.

Shikimori Kazuki · 2007-10-04, 22:08

Although this movie is abit rushed, it explains about the plot-hole in Friagne's fight and why Alastor chose Shana as a container to reside within.

I liked the ending and the bath scene (^^). The ending shows a good part of Shana actually lying about not knowing about the Reigo Maigo inside Yuuji, I find that hiliarious.

I'm glad Yoshida is actually been given chances to show her character abit. I can't wait till Season 2 where Yoshida x Shana going at it again. :P

Seeing Shana the Movie makes me want to watch Shana Season 1 again.

, one of my fav's.

Omfgbbqwtf · 2007-10-05, 00:01

Yoshida..didn't achieve much of anything in the movie. The final fight was done really well. I watch the anime long ago, but I suppose this is the only time we get to "clearly" see Alastor's true form, which is pretty much what I would picture him to be.

Spoiler: The fight was just drop dead drool!! unlike most anime movies which seems to end in failure due to the lack of action after all that build up, shana the movie lived up to more than what i expected seeing yukari coming back was awesome but dying off again basically had the same impact as the TV series - yep it was painfull!! ;___; The way friagne die, i am sure it was different than the TV series (memory fuzzes out here) O.O but based on what i remember i would say i prefer this end better shana showed us what she is really like at the end but putting in that humors gag - she knew yuuji wasnt going to die XD insert song + end = drool - much better that just listening to the track on its own when you have the visuals there __________________ Siggy: hohohohoho~ \| AnimeHistory welcome to our blog ~ \| Summer2009 early review Under the radar series Summer2009: Kanamemo, GA Geijutsuka Art, NEEDLESS

grey_moon Yummy, sweet and unyuu!!! Join Date: Dec 2004	Many thanks for SS-Eclipse for another wunniful sub. I have to say I didn't enjoy the movie at all when I compare it to the series. On its own it would have been okay, but since I just finished SnS the series is too fresh in my mind. Spoiler for why I didn't like it so much: I just felt that everything was so watered down. I realise that it is a movie so they can't fit everything in, but all the scenes just felt to me pale in comparison. For example take the Hunter blowing in Marian, I just can't see that happening. I liked how he had many dolls available to fight, but I would have thought it much better if Marian grabbed Shana so that Friagne could shoot her. But then I would have expected him to not shoot her and for Marian to willingly blow herself up to save her master. Instead the action in the movie made their relationship seem wet instead. I much preferred how he got lost in himself in the series and didn't even realise how Marian sacrificed herself for him. __________________

Giving back the details of the novel, it was much more enjoyable though some details weren't possible to add, considering the time constraint Spoiler: I pretty much liked they actually give Yukari and kazumi (keeps using first name people ) screentimes. We got already tons of Shana in the anime (before you ask, i prefer shana, but that doesn't mean the other girls should be underwhelmed) The bad side of it is the fact Shana looks "deredere" a bit too quickly, but that's fine, considering that they stuffed tons of things in the movie already Yuuji, losing his "character development" from the anime gets good points as well, with his actual interventions and the like. Friagne and Marianne relationship is MUCH better fleshed out, and giving many more details. I largely prefer the movie in that aspect, considering how poorly, script and animation wise, friagne battle was. as for the quality, much like people said, the first part was really a "rip off" like, though the quality was certainly improved a lot (especially the eyes and hair), though the design was not that constant (in some scenes, Shana's front, and space between her eyes are bigger. but that's rare) The animation (especially the battles) was really TOP NOCHT. Far less still shot (remember the ugly still shot when Friagne was about to shoot them until shana use the shard glass? well), and it is really a good thing. The BGM didn't exactly strike anything better or worse than the anime, so. a very good adaptation, though i think "newbies" will be a bit lost. The movie is still a but fast paced, and you feel the rush. But it really worth this "remake". __________________ [Sig art: Kagura Yuu, Nunukko, Maku Rako & Mishima Kurone] / [Twitter]
