Yeah, that's right, it's an S, so I don't really have any reason to believe it's going to pick up from where XVI left off. After a seven month wait (as XVI was released in November), we get an SII in June instead of an XVII, yikes.

Well, I've done my part, discuss...

I have a feeling that this portion of the story will focus on the side characters and what they have been doing upon Yuji and Shana's absence.

Maybe we might get some Dark/Bipolar Yuji humor.

Though I really haven't read the first S yet so I don't how they're like

Domicile and Yearning. Such nice names for stories. Especially with a word as obscure as domicile, even though it just means something as simple as "home".

I just now realized the graphic novels are rated 16+ by viz......i dont see how. what i've read theirs been not really any "explicit" content. heck the shows rated 13+ and the show seems pretty tame as it is, i always figured the novels were tamer lol

It's probably the text, not the illustrations.

He's talking about the Novels not the graphic novels

[MercFH]

Ok Im Confused Now.
When u say "It's probably the text, not the illustrations." what exactly are you talking about?
the Graphic Novels are like the Manga....amirite?
whilst the Light Novels are more like well. Books......w/o all the purdy pictures lol?

i just wondered why Viz would list Graphic Novel as 16+ and the Light Novel as 13+

and I also asked way before if the "Graphic Novel" was ecchi or anything (Like ZnT which i really didn't like...)
any everyone said no it's not. but were they talking about the Light Novel or Graphic novel.(aka the manga)

cause The "GN/Manga" isn't ecchi either I assume? amirite?
sorry If I confused everyone. and I know my questions are annoying (i know it's like ecchi or not who cares). but I mean when you see to much ecchi it makes you not want to see other ecchi....since you've already had you fill with it lol....and it's nice to see like "clean" manga/anime thats generally fun/good to watch :_D

[DeotoxSlayer]

While the anime, only ending might not be that great, they could successfully move it into a third season, and link it to the Novels

The dissappearing footsteps seem, like they're foreshadowing something, maybe, Yuji "Disappearing" and becoming Sairei no Hebi. Plus they can say that Balle Masque intended the Statue of Pride, to become Sairei no Hebi's body, and Sairei no Hebi became impressed with yuji's resolve while trying to get the Reiji Maigo back, and trying to protect the city. Thus making the Anime only ending, link into Season the Novel material, so what do you guys think???

This post is kinda late seeing as how SnS Season 2 Ended a week ago, but I just around to watching the episode because i've been busy.

[CapoExecutor]

I pity the guy if he can't find a way to write XVII. At this point, since SotF Sakai Yuji is nearly impervious to direct combat, wouldn't he have any mental weaknesses?

Is Johan still completely isolated within the Reiji Maigo or did SotF expel him out?

It's probably not a writer's block, and if it is, this'll work as a way to allow more time to come up with ideas. It'll also give time to elaborate on the world - putting SnH Sakai Yuuji into perspective.

[Game8910]

I still trust the author to deliver an awesome method of dealing with SnH in the end.

[Ratix]

Did anyone read some special edition book I saw running around, titled(Rough translation) Shakugan No Shana: Secrets of the guze or something around the lines of that. I read the back summary its seems more like a guide book in a way featuring the character description etc, also featuring the full story of the Shana and Yuji body switching incident.

Didn't buy it though... Perhaps another day,.

I'm assuming you're referring to one of these two?

Oh... that.

Spoiler for Graphic Novel 1:

In the Graphic Novel, there's an illustration of a naked Shana with long hair covering the bottom and a panty she's holding covering the top. Granted, there was a similar illustration in the light novel that Viz removed. That's why.

Well, after spending a LOTS of time to read all the pages of this thread it seem to be quite some interesting development.

Spoiler for Thoughts about Yuji:

- So Yuji becomes SnH (or for shortens Snake (Yay, Metal gear solid ^^)) on his own will... But as for anime, what do you think will trigger it?
Perhaps he sees Ike being a torch and get depressed, realising that even if he saved the city and everything he still fails to save the ones who stands close to him. Ran away somewhere and start wishing really hard for having a power to do something about it. That when Snake contacts him?

By the way, any Chance that any one who read novel will be bothered to post some more spoilers???

Well, I have a spoiler you may be interested in.

Spoiler for Novel spoiler:

Ike is not a torch. Trust me, he is still alive in the novels.

[CapoExecutor]

Who would have thought of the idea about Konoe and Satou going on a date in the audio drama Nazo no Celebrity Date. Of course, I could be mistaken since I can't find a translation for any of the Shakugan no Shana audio dramas.

That is a good news

Well, generaly many people talk about SnH Yuji as a bad character or a villian. I dont really think he is one, he is just missunderstood?
Besides, I belive if he suckseeds in "changing the truth" in the end, with help of Shana who will be protecting him.
Then we might get a cliffhanger ending or we might even get a happy ending. I defenetiv go for a happy ending. As if author is going to ruin Shana or Yuji I be pissed off...

Any way, who is the oldest flame haze and his King or lord? Can any one make a little list (Or point into one) that explain how old Alastore compared to Behemoth and other creatures from Guz?
