Anime Review:Shakugan No Shana Season 1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No no no no no,I will not finish this anime and i will never ever ever see any anime that has a freaking tsundere character ever again.Okay maybe I'm exaggerating a bit.Anyway lets head on to the review.
Information On This Anime:
Type: TV
Episodes: 24
Status: Finished Airing
Aired: Oct 6, 2005 to Mar 23, 2006
Duration: 24 min. per episode
Rating: PG-13 - Teens 13 or older
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Few Words(More Like MORE WORDS):
Jesus by christ,Okay this anime made me more BORED as it is,Jeez i know some people are going to be butthurt but i don't give a flying sh*t about you fanboys over there,A great anime should never be excused especially when it making me much more bored as it freaking is.Wait let me just stop for a second.

So you're asking why didn't i finish an anime I'm supposed to review like what i usually do.
The reason for this is its boring me the heck out,When i watched this,after 10 minutes i called quits on the very first episode.I don't know but i just wanted to do something else that would take me away from this anime.Maybe it's because another tsundere main character is over here but sometimes i don't mind the tsundere main character,she can go f*ck right off.

Or maybe it's the oblivious f*cking guy Yuji Sakai.Okay let me point this out.When you're trying to entertain me with anime it's not supposed to feel like i'm working to finish the episode OKAY?,And also from the genre of it,I saw freaking Romance and there you have a tsundere character,You can probably guess whatever it is that's going to happen.No don't tell me that this anime is great,I watched K-On and i finished that anime right off,And that anime had no action and no story,JUST PLAIN REAL LIFE.Or maybe this anime is just god freaking predictable,snap i said predictable.I know many anime's i watched is predictable but they are predictable in a way that made me watch it more,not predictable in a way that these two main characters will have some sweet love while on the other side of the screen there is a person being jealous becaus...*ehem* i don't know where i was going there.

Thoughts/Comments On This Anime:
(Please note that some of these are actually spoilers,Muwahaha)
1.Annoying 1st Bad Guy
-Seriously,do you want me to take that guy freaking seriously?...
HE'S HOLDING A FREAKING DOLL AND HE'S ALWAYS SAYING CUTE IN A CREEPY FUCKING WAY THAT IM GETTING ANNOYED,and not annoyed in a way that he's the bad guy.Im annoyed in a way that he's REALLY getting on my nerves.(SPOILER) Good thing he dies in episode 6.

2.Annoying MAIN CHARACTER
-You remember nagi and hayate? also try remembering Taiga,Louise Franchoise,ANOTHER TSUNDERE MAIN CHARACTER! why can't anime's escape this!? seriously im sick and tired of these Indecisive women.

3.Sakai Yuuji
-This guy is somewhat likeable or NOT likeable,because sometimes this guy is being an oblivious shit who never SEES what's in front of him before he asks,and sometimes quite the impressing guy.

4.Kinda old?
-for an anime that isn't below the year 2000 the animations for this one is quite decent but it kinda gives out that OLDY feel.

5.Those two guys helping that other flame haze
-hmmm,you know? those two guys saw MAGIC,A TALKING BOOK,A WOMAN WITH MAGICAL POWERS and yet they just stand there not pointing it out.Well lets just imagine that they see those kinds of things everyday,BUT THAT WON'T CUT IT! It's bugging me somehow,like how do they not POINT THOSE THINGS OUT.

6.(Episode 7) Too Quick To Be Sober?
-How the hell do you get sober that quick?....i don't drink but usually you get sober the day after you drank.

7.Those Two Guys
-Whatever gave them the motivation to help that freaking lady is uknown,i mean they got they're butt's saved by that woman but that doesn't mean you need to SERVE them.Or did she use her feminine wiles on those two guys?

8.(Episode 7) That Book
-FINALLY HE TALKED NORMALLY.but he only said 1 sentence...
f*ck,can't get my hopes up with this anime huh?

9.(Episode 7) The Blush Starts
-You know what this means,MEANS THAT THE TSUNDERE CHARACTER WILL BE MORE OF A TSUNDERE FROM NOW ON! Well shit

10.(Episode 8) Don't Just LEAVE!
-The old man just left shana and yuji there to FRIKKIN DIE! can't you do anything just to save the two?! YOU HAVE MAGIC OLD MAN USE IT.

11.(Episode 8) Flame Wings Of Despair
-eeer...just wanted to use the word DESPAIR,anyways shana gains wings in this episode which SAVES THEM because that frikking old man didn't do anything that useless prick.

12.Aha! found another anime with Ahoge's
-(Otaku Note: Ahoge = That springy thing on a characters hair)just when i thought anime's will never design a character with ahoge.

13.(Episode 8)
-honestly at 22:30 it made me smile,Looks like happy ends can still make me smile after all.

14.(Episode 9)
Even at the most serious times,YOU MUST NEVER POUT IN FRONT OF THE MELON PIE!

15.Triple Shut Up combo
-Done by every god forsaken tsundere anywhere

16.ANOTHER ANIME WITH A POOL EPISODE?!
-animes! are you bounded by law to make atleast 1 pool episode?!

17.(Episode 10) Yuji Sakai's MOM
-Thanks mom,for NOT SUPPORTING ME!

Ratings On This Anime
1.Story UNKNOWN/10 - No,I'm not gonna rate any of the story in this anime,yes i know i got the gist of that anime but screw that it was boring and i didn't want to finish it.

2.Artwork 7.5/10 - Despite all the crap i said,this anime in terms of artwork is still decent but sometimes the characters faces and body look quite off,No don't tell me because it's old,I know when an anime characters faces look off.I watched over 25 anime's for christ sakes.

3.OP Song 8.5/10 - Again,despite all that crap the OP is still a good song quite good actually that i can trash other OP songs from the anime's i watched.
   ED Song 6.4/10 - No,its slow and i don't like slow,the oldy-ness of the song is getting to me.It sounds like a song my mom would sing in a freaking karaoke or something.

4.Animation 9.5/10 - I looked really carefully in the fight scenes and i didn't really mind the part where the characters has some missing frames,because i was too enticed at the looks of shana's flames.Maybe not that enticed i guess.

5.Concept 9.9/10 - Very original idea,Torches,Flame Hazes,The names,The Creepy bad guy.But one problem,a god forsaken tsundere character should only be born within an ANIME that NEEDS A TSUNDERE CHARACTER SO BADLY THAT,THAT ANIME WOULD BE PERFECT IF IT HAS A TSUNDERE CHARACTER IN IT.(Sorry lost my grammar there for a bit)

6.Fanservice 5/10 - Average,it's just your normal fanservice not that strike witches fanservice where you can see sh*t,also not like HOTD where boobs really JIGGLED.(No,I'm not a pervert)

7.Action In It 8.5/10 - If you're actually in this anime for the reason of action,well you can be damned sure that this anime will give you action PROPERLY.Not that one where the main boss is LARGE then he dies in a freaking cliche way.Okay maybe the action is not that great but i will bet that it's still great than other anime's out there

8.Romance In It 5/10 - NO,that's not romance that's a freaking love with the word love prounced as NOT REAL LOVE.

So This Anime?
Pass , Average , Fail

IMO,this anime is a fail.Because even a decent enough anime can make me watch its 26 episodes no sweat,I guess its the predictability that made me stop and think that this is going to another junction of tsundere land.But i guess you people can look the other way and watch the anime without thinking about whatever it is that you saw here.Oh,may i also point out that i only lasted at episode 10.Call me a cynical bastard for not finishing this but i don't give a sh*t,Remember this an anime is supposed to make you feel entertained not make you work for finishing an episode.

I know you only have to sit there and watch,but while i was watching it made me feel really bored that i came out of my room while the episode is still playing and come back 30 minutes later just to realize that the episode is finished and play another episode in hopes that it will entertain me this time,I know there is a story but with me being a bored reviewer all that story can go f*ck itself right off.

Maybe this anime is not my cup of tea,well ill try to finish the 1st season,maybe i can review the 2nd seasons story properly next time.(WHICH WILL BE 10 YEARS FROM NOW),Also i hate Sakai Yuji in the very first episode for saying the world "NORMAL LIFE" too many times,when you know that something "ABNORMAL" will happen,can you see the annoying way the predictability becomes?
