*yawns* There is much better romance/harems out there. I think part of whats bothering me is that shana used to be such a badass character with occasional cute moments slipping in, now all the badass is kinda gone ( i mean where did the shana who made the teachers cry, only cared what yuji thought and others be damned go?). She is like generic harem tsundere number 1000. Yuji doesn't seem as sharp either. My interest in this season is starting to wane.
I loved the romance element/development they had between them, but it was always framed in reference to their struggle in a world outside reality, and their fated circumstances (she a flame haze, and he no longer a human). Even the stalker girl made a little sense framed in that, she was there to emphasize the humanity Yuji was no longer a part of..and couldn't ever really be. (this point was clearly negated this season..)

Missing In Action

Look, after learning about events in the novels that the anime clearly missed, here's my conclusion: Takahashi is adding these events for one reason - that some important events in the past 9 novels that have been missed need to be expressed. If they were skipped, they have to come up with some way to go back to that. Fumina is the best way to go back to one particular scene that creates another stepping point in Yuji and Shana's relationship.

There's too much focus on that other blonde girl too (Yoshida? or something? she's so boring that I don't even remember her name). Sure, it was nice for a girl with actual awareness of what she wants as a mechanism to develop the main characters--but that was season 1. It's over and done with--we don't need her to be hanging on and dragging the show down in what's obviously a lost cause. Same with Konoe and Pheles - okay, Shana gets jealous. Sakai likes her...we get the point, moving on then to the actual story...? Shana spent 13 episodes of season 1 sulking....maybe this season she'll grow up after only 12? Basically same criticisms as Zero no Tsukaima--just overall weak and trite characters (all the worse since the author wrote two series using the exact same characters). Still, I've always liked the premise of the Shana series, and Wilhelmina and Rammie rock! |

Quality drop?
Wilhelmina is the same height of Shana? This episode is boring like episode 4, all events in this episode already happened before, and this is not a "eternal dream" spell. 5/10

Again, another nice and enjoyable episode for me. I really liked episode 4, so episode 5 was another great episode. I still enjoy the jealous tones from Yoshida and Shana.
It's was nice to Wilhelmina try to cut dinner for Shana. And it was also nice to see a little romance between Eita and Ogataa. Again, another episode that made my day.

The reconciliation of sorts between Shana and Wilhelmina saved the episode, but for the most part, this ep. has been the dog of the season for me. The jealousy thing is definitely being dragged out too long, although at least there was some development in other areas--the mystery behind Konoe, Shana and Wilhelmina, etc.

While watching the episode, I was frantically waiting for the point at wich Shana or Yoshida would snap and confront Yuji directly, but it never came. Not even after Ike got a little more direct did anything happen. It was quite frustrating, but then again, no judgement till the last episode.
Actually, mintham2448's comment helps me keep my breath a little longer now. Of course, this forced situation is annoying, but if the result justifies it, then so be it. There were, at the very least, some nice scenes in there. Although, after a week of waiting, it leaves a stale taste. Quote:
