Shakugan no Shana II - Episode 11 Discussion / Poll

[DX HBK]

Any news on the 2nd opening and the music for it?

Last season had Kawada Mami doing the first half of it for the opening before Kotoko took over. Are they going to do the same for this season?

no news as of yet, but if I remember correctly last season they only switched the theme songs at episode 16.

This will probably depend on the length of the Pheles arc. If there is a 2nd opening, most likely Kawada Mami will be doing it again, since I can't imagine KOTOKO doing a SnS song while Hayate no Gotoku is still moving strong.

O yeah I forgot about the involvement in Hayate no Gotoku for a moment there.

I was kind of hoping that they will animate what happened to Pheles and Johan until Reiji Maigo was transferrred to Yuji, instead of letting just Wilhelmina doing the explaining. But anyway, the explantion is good.

Honestly, before seeing this episode, I thought that no one will beat Ike in terms of diligence since he is one of smartest. Therefore, I was surprised to see Ike outclassed by Fujita.

Sexual harassment by Kimiko: She might have learnt it from Ogata in the OVA.

I wonder what Wilhelmina is hiding from Yuji and Shana.

But, without anyone realizing it, but definitely so, the winds of ill omens begin to blow......

I wonder if this is a good idea. Margery will not going to take this fact lightly.

I'm somewhat doubting she's going to have the time to start anything when there's a powerful Crimson Lord coming at them right now...

though maybe after this Pheles thing is cleared up it'll cause some major problems.

[X10A_Freedom]

Quite a dissapointing episode.

Spoiler:

The main thing which we were waiting for from last week's preview, Wilhelmia's news lasted 1-2 minutes only.

The rest, despite being apparently novel material still seemed like filler because of all the non-novel slice fillers we've already been given.

I have to agree with you. At least, they should extend the news to a longer duration. After all, this news is the main story of this episode, aptly called "The Promised Pair". Or better, as I said previously, they should animate what happened to Pheles and Johan. Well, I guess that I can't be too greedy.

I stopped falling for their dirty tricks with these "previews" after what happened with episode five's preview for six wherein the event ended up being a test in school instead of a conflict with a tomogara or something.

What does the maid flame haze mean by saying Phyles's power is absolute? From how she speaks about her she seems a godness, but at the end she says "Phyles you're the only one I don't want to fight against" so the maid thinks to be a match for her, after all.

[Kristen]

This was a night and day episode for me... First half was nothing more than boring filler. I honestly checked the timing at around 12 minutes, thinking that they may have skipped the commercial break and were nearing the end of another bad episode...

First half I'd give a 4, and that's lenient on the upside.

The second half was a lot of setup. It's been about 1.1 episodes of setup now, so next one better have something start. If not, they overdid it. I'd give that part a 6.

So, overall, 5. It's just another boring episode, but it has a bit of hope this time around.

Oh, and why is everyone is school calling Shana by the name Shana instead of Hikari?

It's been going on for a while now, they must have just heard about the nickname Shana.

[Reckoner]

Maybe it was my anime deprivation that caused me to actually enjoy this episode a bit, so I will wait to give my final rating after another watch, but this slice of life is definitely better than the konoe slice of live by far.

[FlareKnight]

Ike really does live a hard life. All the condolences on the guy trying to survive the day.

At any rate the Pheles news gets sprung and now there is even more to think about. Dealing with the question of silver flame which just doesn't happen and now a powerful opponent on the horizon.

Not a whole lot to say about the episode. But things look to be progressing so will just wait and see.

Seems as if Wilhelmina has more information about Pheles once based on her lines. Might be things that she didn't speak about to Yuji or Shana. If Pheles did have absolute power, then one could wonder about the battle that she and Johan were defeated in.

If someone could defeated that couple, then Yuji might pull off an upset should he confront the Guze Queen.

[KaneDragon]

Absolute power? Eternal life? Messing around with time itself? I can dig it. Pheles sounds pretty awesome. And she certainly looks stylish. Long green hair is a must, for sure. Better than three-eyes.

On an unrelated note, Shana looked rather short going down the hill with Yuji at the end. Or, for some reason that seemed to stick out to me...

[ipernorris]

Ah anyway why do they keep Pheeles so secret while they showed us plenty of her in the op since episode 1?

To Yuji, Shana has always been about chin-high.

[DX HBK]

Shana: (while in the shower): Do I need more fat on my body?

BWAHAHAHAHA! Priceless quote!

[zqube]

So little has actually happened so far which means this episode seemed to be good.
