Has anyone here actually read the light novels? If so, how do they differ from the anime? And how much further ahead of the anime do they go? For that matter, has anyone seen a website or review on the light novels? If you have please post it and I'll link the wikipedia article to it since the english wikipedia has nil information on the light novels. (I'm not sure about the japanese wikipedia.)

On another matter, I found a recipe for melon bread.

Its been a while since i last read shana i'll just list all that i can remember i guess

Spoiler for Difference from novel and anime:

First main difference is that Shana used Tenpa Josai in Vol 1 against the hunter rather then at the end of the anime.

The introduction of Margery and Ramie in the novels are after the Death of hunter.

In Vol 4 of the novel Sydonay loses one of his hand inside Yuji when probing for the Hougu due to a barrier. (This kinda becomes important later on)

I think the entire aftermath of the festive and test cramming and changes in Yuji was skipped in the anime and moved on to the arrival of Welhelmina and her epic duel with Chigusa, after that we did not get to see Yuji's father and Welhelmina Vs Shana/Yuji

The the anime turns to made up ending arc, If you follow the novel story Vol. 9 is intro of Welhelmina, Vol 10 is the flashback story of the great war, Vol 11 is the School festival and Yuji finally learn basic Fuzetsu. Vol. 12 and 13 Show intro of Pheles, after she found Yuji, the containmation of Reiji Maigo (something to do with Sliver I guess), battle with Bel Masque. etc, etc. anyways lots of thing happen here including the token Pheles give to Kazumi, which leaves alot of questions.

This by no means is a good overview, but i'm lazy so dont bash me.

EDIT: The Light Novels are licensed...? Here in Mexico is almost imposible to get some of the stuff that you usually buy....

Shakugan no SHANA novel questions

- in which volume does the anime ends and in which the movie (if anybody knows)?
- is it still fun to read the novel if you already watched the anime?
- How many volumes is this novel going to continue?

[Hikari no Clover]

for Q2 sure

[Owaranai Destiny]

1) The movie IS and adaptation of the first volume of the novels, (supposedly) completely. The anime ends at around volume 8 or 9 (someone confirm this).
2) Definitely.
3) No one knows...But it's ongoing.

It feels like it. Can't say for sure, though.

Shakugan no Shana is almost over in the novels?

1.- Is true that in the novels Shana and Yuuji almost kiss but Wilhelmina interrupt them?
2.- what happened with the silver dude?

As above, it seems like it, but I can't say for sure. It's just a feeling, because

Spoiler:

Shana is starting to wonder about how you have kids ( ), what with Yuuji's mom's pregnancy.

1.- Is true that in the novels Shana and Yuuji almost kiss but Wilhelmina interrupt them?

Yup. Not my most favorite recollection of Wilhelmina. ( )

2.- what happened with the silver dude?

Do you mean the skeleton guy, Shiro?

Not really... lol

/me runs away

[NoSanninWa]

... person unable to discern Shana's true feelings?

Really, I want to know what you're running from!

[Owaranai Destiny]

Yuji's pretty thick-headed too, I suppose. He did need Ike to tell (or hinted) to him that Kazumi had feelings for him before he really knew.

Well, all the better.Depending on how the story's going to end and the relationships in between that blossom and develop.

Oh, and...*Chucks a Tenpa Jousei at bayoab, all in the name of good ol' fandom*
