Review of Shakugan no Shana: Season II

I absolutely loved the first season and was so excited for season 2. I was expecting much of the same kind of action and plot and I got...meh. I felt like I was in a loop and the same thing was happening over and over and over. I know that this is common formula for a lot of shows in general, but I got bored and it felt really stale. Then came the last 10 episodes and it totally redeemed itself. It was absolutely what I needed to salvage this season. It's what I craved after the first season. The action and details and colors andstoryline we're all right on. It hit all the right points. I'm going to take a short break before I hit season 3. I think I need that spacer so I don't go in on a binge expectation like I had. I think that the binge is really a dangerous thing, a double-edged sword, if you will. There's cases where you can cover a lot of pleasure in a short period of time and then there are times like this that set me up with big expectations and it ruined it for me. I did take a break and started another show, which I don't usually do, but I needed a breather and it was the right thing to do.

I think that's the biggest thing I can say about this episode. Everybody's different and operates in their own way, but that was my experience. Nonetheless, you will be satisfied if you choose to watch it in any way.
