Review of Shakugan no Shana: Season I

~Story: 8~ Although at first this anime is confusing and a little far fetched, the storyline was actually brilliant, and one of the most original things I've ever watched. From "The crimson world" to "The chanter of eligies", I don't think I got bored even once. Despite the love feud between Sekai, Shana, Ikea and Yoshida, which annoyed me slightly, I think this story was beautiful. I loved how it started with doubts to whether Sekai was even alive, and ended in him knowing that he was Yuji Sekai and it didn't matter what anyone told him. ~Art: 7~ The art of this anime wasn't unique or sophisticated,but rather simple, yet the action scenes always seemed to surprise me. The art wasn't bad enough to make me stop watching, so I guess it was good.

~Sound: 9~

I have to say, the sound in this anime was superb. the openings and ending themes were really good, and I actually never skipped them when watching. the soundtrack was beautiful, and deserves more recognition.

~Characters: 8~

Wow. The character development was absolutely spot on. Each character had their own unique personality, and I found myself worrying about them on numerous occasions. Not once did I get sick or tired of them, and had a lot of fun watching each individual character grow into something more.

~Enjoyment: 8~
Guess I'll just say this was fun to watch.

Overall: 8

This anime was very enjoyable, fun and original. The style was unique, and I enjoyed the character development, and the sound. This anime may not be for all, but I wasn't dissapointed, so there you go ^^
