Just hearing light my fire 🔥 opening 6 and serment op 7 made my day 😍😍
definently check Endongs ED1 are extremely great!!!
Maybe do Zero No Tsukaima openings next? It's in the same era as Shakugan no Shana and has the same art style for its characters, it's also one of the OG Isekais. xD
@@rayzen119 and it's hilarious since both fmc is voiced by same VA 🤣
This dont have so much sad moments. Mostly in first season. But its preatty good and COMPLETE story with only 3 seasons with 24 episodes each.
This anime is an old hidden gem
It's a supernatural romance with a lot of action.
I liked most of it, but it started feeling like it was dragging on and on and I thought the ending was "meh".
Not as bad as the season 2 of "Freezing" though. I always recommend season 1 to people, but tell them to ignore season 2 since it just adds more questions and generally isn't very good story wise. "Season 2 doesn't exist."🤣
@@Sgt_SealCluber because it certainly did drag on. They stretched the content in season 1&2 and added slice of life and then rushed the ending in season 3 (or so the novel readers told me).
I got some closure by reading the "real (not rushed) ending" but don´t remember if it was manga or a translation in some forum.
I was just happy that J.C.Staff actually finished a series....
@@Sgt_SealCluber I was in love with that anime back then but S3....well I really hated it.
Well I leave my response to a now removed comment about me thinking the ending was "meh" here anyway:
I can remember so much of the body of the series, but I can't recall the ending very well. It just wasn't very memorable. I wasn't unhappy with the ending though I wasn't overjoyed with the ending either, hence "meh".
It's kinda the same as with the ending of "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" movie. I thought the main body of the film was good, but the ending left me going "meh".
Of course these are just my personal opinions and art/media is partially subjective.
@@ElPsyCongroooooo never read the manga. Would you recommend it
The singer, Mami Kawada, actually retired back in 2016.
She still write music. Her last song was for a docomo phone ad I believe.
She was known to be more of a Trance / EDM singer
Mami Kawada would also considered one of those singers that help elevated the whole Anison into full main stream jpop. Artists like LiSA and other started their career when Mami peaked. You might say Mami was once an anchor for that type of music.
KOTOKO was also the singer of half of these openings.
Namie Amuro, Yui, Mami Kawada and Aimer Younha, BoA are Goats of Anison and Jpop
You shouldn't miss out on the endings of shakugan no shana. "I'll believe" is my personal favourite.
Yes I love too this song.
I second this notion.
Same. S3 eds are still in my playlist today
Highly agree and I'll believe could've easily been an op with how good it is.
A certified Shakugan no Shana classic
This is such a classic. It feels nostalgic for me cuz this is one of my childhood. Shana is really a cool character for me at that time and still is.
OMG please make this a trend. shakugan no shana deserve this !!!!
👀
Shakugan no Shana is that one anime I watched in like middle school and just don't even try to rewatch to not destroy good memories
Special ending "u/n" by Mami Kawada is also worth checking out
When I hear someone say Shakugan no Shana is old, I remember that this was on TV when I lived in Japan. I watched anime from 1995-2006 a lot, then got into comedy variety shows while I was in Japan, as I couldn't keep up with any series. To me, old is 80s and older. Haha. Anything after 2005 is still "recent" in my mind.
I haven't watched this series myself, but I've heard a lot of the songs, as they're by members of I've Sound, especially Mami Kawada and Kotoko. These two have done so many anime openings and endings, as well as other members of I've Sound.
This anime is 2005, so fair point. I wasn't born until November
the anime is finished with 72 episodes and completed story.
It's basicly about magical warriors named 'flame haze' fighting monsters who are eating human souls. normal humans don't know about that because the flame haze manipulate reality by reparing damages or creating substitute humans, the torches. the story follows the torch sakai yuji meeting the flame haze shana.
i would recommend the ending songs as well.
Actually sounds pretty awesome
@@GOTGames Maybe a little late to add to this, but Torches are not really substitute humans. They have the physical appearance and memories of a person whose soul was eaten by monsters, but they have a source of limited energy and as this energy fades little by little, people who knew that person forgets them little by little until the Torch runs out of energy and vanishes completely, but nobody remembers them anymore.
Torches exist to soften the cosmic impact of a person suddenly disappearing due to the depredation of monsters.
@@franespejo5302more like they're the leftover fragments of a person that was consumed since they're not the original but they were made with the original's fragments of existence.
@@GOTGamesthis anime can be considered the one that repopularized the trope of the powered individual getting together with the unpowered regular person since after it hit it big there was a lot of anime with the same concept again.
Shakugan no Shana was one of the 4 Tsundere Queen Animes back in the day. While you are at it you can check out the OST for the other 3: "Hayate the combat butler", "Zero no Tukaima" and "Toradora".
It is an anime from a previous era, I would not say it aged well, but it holds major nostalgia value for the older generation of anime fans. It's not really a sad anime, it has it's moments but mostly it's an action anime with a plot. I don't think it will blow your mind but it's a decent watch.
"Light my fire!" (opening 6) is still a banger and always on my playlist of anime songs, even after all these years.
And yeah Japan has this problem in media, they perceive the highschool years as most wonderfull in their lives so many animes are set in this setting and timeframe. I am with Gigguk on this one, I would prefer more univercity settings or young adults or even mature adults settings that are not just slice of life.
Rie Kugimiya - the queen of tsundere ❤
its not that they perceive high school as the best years, but because that is the main target demographic for manga/anime
@flygonkerel781 Yeah at the end of the day anime is a business and anime sells to high schoolers like hot cakes.
Also Zero no Tsukaima is a forgotten goat of the isekai genre. Aged a bit poorly, but still a solid romance even by today's standards.
Sad. For me it's has always been 5 TsundeRie Anime. Hidan no Aria is ALWAYS forgotten sadly 😢
@@sunnyho2066 well almost all short tsundere is most likely be voiced by rei kugumiya
Wow, I never expected someone will ever react to Shana songs, thank you for this!
Thanks Luke for the reaction, Shana came out in 2005. I would like you to check out to the Shana Ending songs as well!
Shakugan no Shana isn't really focused on sadness per se, like madoka or somewhat. Is more about a girl who gave up her personal life to be basicly a magical girl, which then falls in love for the first time....But her love interest got a sandbox friend who's interested and that Shana doesn't understand love and that she's a big tsundere doesn't help either XD
Also, her transformation is litterally change hair color to fire red and its raining embers :3
Blazes, this takes me back. The first ED was my favorite for the longest time. Yoake Umare Kuru Shoujo is such a wonderful piece. And, yeah, the themes of the story are a bit on the darker side. Ep 1 is chalk full of existential crisis.
I love coming back to these older series. The nostalgia is so good. It started in 2005 and is one of the few series that solidified the typical tsundere type main girl characters' place in anime.

God I miss this era so much, especially Mami Kawada and Kotoko intros.
Shakugan no Shana! The openings singers are Mami Kawada(To Aru Majutsu no Index) and Kotoko. I really like the anime but season 3 messed up a little with the new characters.
Mami Kawada was everywhere i love the rock electronic touch and the mix from high to low her voices just match perfectly any strong or soft tune
My personal opinion is Shana is an old school classic anime from the early 2000s
The anime changed a lot of stuff from the LN, but then it became closer back to the LN in the second half of Season2 onwards
The opening might seem like a bunch of stuff mixed together, and that's because that's basically how the story was structured.
I'm quite sure the first 2 or 3 episodes will explain into details what Shana is and what is she doing.
She's not quite Magical girl, but something similar in their own concept, if any she has some fire related superpower that grows through the story.
She also wears school uniform, so yes the daily slice of life plot happens in school, where some romantic plot will happen.
But yes there's a fairly dark story going around in the back, which involves what Shana and the main boy are fighting for.
This kind of story structure is basically the hugest genera back before Isekai blew up, so you might feel similar vibe with some other anime around the time.
Did you really just call an anime from the 2000s “classic old school”? That phrase should be used for shows like Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Bubbkegum Crisis, A.D. Tank Police, Patlabor, and Soryuden: Dragon Kings.
……..fuck I’m old
Back then J.C.Staff likes to change the original story and in many cases makes it very bad, e.g. Zero no tsukaima.
@@Dan_Geer_ I get what you mean, but Man it's almost 20 years ago, it's definitely old school compared to the modern days. I'd imagine I'm as old as you as I watched Shana in High School.
@@jiayi2650 Yeah back in the days the anime studios (not just JC) used this as a way of creativity expression, which often become very bad. There are some actual good changes like Hunter x Hunter 1999, but in my opinion good changes are still quite rare in the industry.
@@hhjan594 The only good case I watched is in Oreimo, which in one ep they showed us how the studios made the 'creativity expression' to ruin the original story and shows no respect to the authers
Shakigan no Shana is one of those super famous series that time took its toll. Its broadcast began in 2005 and ended in 2012, so you can see the difference in the animation... Honestly, I don't even remember half of the story. Even though I remember that I liked it a lot. and its sixth opening is a super famous song, anyone who likes anime recognizes it right away and didn't even remember that it was from this series...!
YES! At last my favorite Uta-hime Mami Kawada comes to this channel.
OP 3 JOINT
OP 5 Prophecy (Shakugan no Shana S)
OP 7 Serment
Yes it's a completely finished anime.
No, it only has three seasons. Shakugan no Shana S are a mini series of OVA's.
Which is why I don't know if you saw it, but on top of the III was written Final.
Greetings man, Thank You For This.
This is from the era of magic highschool battles before SAO started the whole isekai thing, so you not gonna find many things like this coming out today. Just like in the current isekai era, most of these shows were pretty unremarkable, but there was something special about Shana, just hearing the openings a wave of nostalgia hit me, and i realize
i still remember things about this show when i have forgotten everything from most other shows from back then.
So yeah, i wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it definitely did something right.
Last 2 song
Light my fire 😍🔥🔥🔥
And serment
is some of my favorite anime song
Mami kawada really did a beautiful song for this series
I love shakugan my god i feel old now
One of my all time favourite anime. Also Kawada Mami and KOTOKO are two legends from that era (KOTOKO is still active too) I rank the anime very high tbh, even if it hasnt aged the best, it is still a very enjoyable one even by today standarts. its an anime that many people often forget, but always have fond memories from when they remember it. Shana in itself is a very good character too, more popular than the anime itself. i recomend it to whoever havent seen it, but they need to have in mind it is an old one, and it starts kinda slow.
Another anime I thought was completely lost to time. One of my first few ones that I also watched while airing. Even made posts about it on my RUclips channel back when there was some weird discussion tab on channel profiles.
Now that you've checked this one out you're obligated to do Zero no Tsukaima and Hayate no Gotoku as well.
Just remembered there's Hidan no Aria too! Watched it back in High School when a friend recommended it to me. I'm 27 btw just for some perspective.
Wow one of the original tsunderes!!!
No. She imposed the stereotype of the perfect thundere. So much it made Rie Kugimiya into the undisputed tsundere queen to this very day!
Shana was older then SAO iirc.
I think Shana S1 was around 2005 or 2006 while SAO S1 was 2013. They have a clear time gap.
If any, Shana was still in the "Magical school battling" era of anime, while SAO basically is the anime that started the Isekai trend (although critically speaking SAO isn't actually Isekai)
Zero no tsukaima, which was almost aired at the same time with Shana, is the starting of Isekai ones. Also SAO is not a real Isekai anime.
@@jiayi2650zero no tsukaima was the first but the isekai genre doesnt gain popularity back then..mostly overshadow by shonen genre back..until sao emerge,although not specific to isekai but the virtual reality is theotherically almost the same,being transport to another world/virtual..so,i do admit Sao is the reason why isekai genre was popular after the show..and more&more isekai anime came out after sao...
@@jiayi2650 If we really want to dig back, Isekai existed even in the past century.
The whole genera of the Isekai products really only started after SAO. I think people often say Mushoku Tensei was like the first modern Isekai LN, but it got animated later than stuff like Re0, Konosuba which actually started this trend in anime.
The Isekai trend was started by Alice in Wonderland. I said!! :)
@@skykillerxxx Digimon, Inuyasha, Kyo Kara Maoh! wants to have a talk with you on Zero no Tsukaima being the first Isekai. And I bet still a lot of other older Anime xD But yea, can't really deny that despite SAO not being an actual Isekai..... It actually started the trend nonetheless.
Finally after months of asking thank you for the reaction
The moment I saw the video title & thumbnail I started hyperventilating and frantically whispering "Shakugan no Shana Shakugan no Shana Shakugan no Shana..."
Shakugan No Shana also has super hot endings, especially S3 EDs, please check them too.
I hate J.C.Staff changed the story in S1 and S2 which make no sense but luckily they made S3 following the original light novel.
If you interested, you can check the movie first then go to S3.
I really love this anime. It was the second anime I watched online after Zero No Tsukaima and I listened to its openings a lot in high school. opening 1, 3, 6 and 7 are my favorites. especially 1 and 7 for history themes and the other two for the music itself. I remember the excitement of when the 3rd season premiered several years later. Shakugan no Shana is an anime from 2005 and ended in 2012.
I had been waiting for a long time for you to react to these openings and maybe one day to the anime.
The song "JOINT" was selected as one of the winning songs in the Japanese Heisei Anime Song award organized by Sony Music.

I wish to see him react to Nanoha OP too, and Nana Mizuki live performance are amazing too, she literally flying during a few of them, it was awesome !
luke would enyou vandread endings more :P
@@kokodin5895 He could see all of them (nanoha and vandread), problem solved 😆
Yuru Camp is such a vibe and Chrono Crusade is beautiful, both of them are worth checking out
@@kokodin5895 😏 Hehe, you know him well!! Cheeky visual endings there! Sensual song too!
I'm watching Shana not long after it aired, and for my young self back then... This anime is DARK AF!!!
Omg, I love Shakugan no Shana! It's such an amazing anime and the openings and endings as well as the OST are so incredibly good! So glad, you finally react to it!
I've been waiting forever to see this reaction, can't wait for the endings. This is my favorite anime so seeing this was a real treat
Heck yeah, Shakugan no Shana! Surprised and happy to see you checking out the OPs.
It was a pretty popular series back in the day (started on 2005!) with the protagonist, Shana, being one of the most popular tsundere around the time, too. She's voiced by Rie Kugimiya who is popular for voicing tsundere characters and the other popular tsunderes were voiced by her, too - Taiga from Toradora is one if I remember correctly and the other one is Louise from Zero no Tsukaima (she also voiced Alphonse Elric in the JP dub of FMA). I love the first two opening songs. Shakugan no Shana has a lot of action cause of the fights but also has romance with the love triangle between Shana-Yuuji-Kasumi going on there, too. The anime is done, I believe, many years ago lol.
There's a ton of anime you've never heard of from that's old and they have pretty awesome OPs. Hope you get to see all of them one day even if it's just their OPs cause you're missing out.
And what's that about Detective Conan? Are you gonna watch the show lol? That's a ton of episodes and it's still ongoing (it's ridiculous!) but it's fun. Watch at least season 1 cause I wanna see if you could figure out the mysteries before the show itself reveals them at the end of each case. It's the most fun thing about Detective Conan for me since they do show the viewers the clues and let us know the suspects and hear their alibis.
shakugan no shana is a classic i remenber watchin till last episode even when i didnt understand the side stories my objective was to see the very end of the two mains chara supernatural romance with psyco drama
Thanks for reacting to these openings..This is one of my childhood favorites and first one that got me hooked to other Animes. I really miss my childhood. Love from the Ph 🇵🇭💙
Wow the nostalgia, we need more melon bread. Made me want to recommend Accle World openings. Its like the big sister of sao
I got to know about melon pan from this series because Shana loves them so much🤣
Bro. This anime is one of those old gems that you could always watch The OPs are very good, but the OSTs throughout the series are even better.
Recommended 10/10
I absolutely love SHAKUGAN NO SHANA. And I love Shana, a great protagonist ❤❤❤❤❤
Another OG series that just takes me back. I still listen to that 3rd opening with the hard guitar rift
Whoah!! This takes me back. A great anime that goes hard the entire last season. Series starts out on a bit of a small scale that escalates gradually until there’s this massive conflict of tons of characters. The EDs are also great.
Thank you so much for reacting to Shakugan no Shana Openings..... I am happy and grateful for it! This anime was favourite in my childhood...and the ost in anime hits me with nostalgia!
Shakugan No Shana is one the best anime with a good amount of drama, supernatural, romance and dark theme, most of all it has great action. All the opening theme song are fire. I've watched this anime several times since it 1st aired and still lovin' it.
Opening 6 Kotoko - Light my Fire is one the most epic openings for me and of course one of my favourites. Shakugan No Shana have too a really good endings like ending 1 and ending 6.
Shakugan no Shana have 3 season + Ova series (Shakugan no Shana S), last season aired in 2011.
Please react to more endings, maybe make a series one per month that you will make reaction and catch up the endings (and new openings) from anime series that you already reacted to openings. You have a really long list of anime you only reacted to openings and that list more and more increases and sadly a lot of really good songs were missed because of it.
My proposition to next reaction is Kuroko no Basket openings and endings (7 openings and 7 endings)
To all anime OSTs , Shakugan No Shana is the BEST of all.
😂 This is the anime that started everything for me. After this its been years and decades of entertainment content from the East. The premise, the characters, the stakes were all completely new to me. Thank you JC Staff for the continuing journey.
Gotta love nostalgia, we need more openings videos like these.
Would love for you to check out the opening and ending op The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash. (such a hidden gem of an anime that no one talked about this season).
Suddenly got hit by nostalgia. :')
Please watch this series. I want to experience this anime again with you.
Seems to have a lot of love, might need to check it out 💯💯
@@GOTGamesPlease do bro, I love this anime (only one I have a physical copy still), but it's such an old hidden gem nobody reacts to it. Same can be said of Gosick too if nobody's recommended it yet.
Please do bro, I love this anime (only one I still own a physical copy of), but it's such an old hidden gem that nobody reacts to it. Same can be said about Gosick, if no one has recommended that yet.
This anime gave me such an eerie feeling throughout. I just couldn't forget that the male main character was just a fading placeholder for someone who's already dead. I don't think that was the point of the anime at all, but to me it was a nice side effect.
I remember this.... On tv, this anime were put into "adult swims" slots, every wed and thus at 12:15am... Waking up in the morning for school was hell...
This and Familiar of Zero, both JC Staff gems, were my some of my first anime that I’ve ever watched. These shows, in my opinion, are an absolute perfect representation of the 2000s era of anime. Just a perfect amount of everything.
Watching this anime dubbed before around 2008-ish on tv. When a certain tv network on our country just starting and it shows alot of anime. Clannad, Full Metal Alchemist, Yamato Nadeshiko the Wall Flower, Shakunan no Shana, Golgo 13 were on its program that's why it was memorable for me.
The Pioneer of Japanese Light Novels
since my dude finally seems to have found an overlooked gem i hope to see him react to stuff like busou renkin,chrome shelled regios,BECK mongolian chop squad,linebarrels of iron,needless,kenichi mightiest disciple,sengoku basara and of course tenjhotenge gotta have some BOMB A HEAD once in a while am i right
Ohhh yeahhh SHAKUGAN NO SHANA!!!
I love this anime it may not be my first anime but....
This is the one that got me into anime and introduced me to the one and only tsundere queen Kugimiya Rei
Finally ,, after half year i try to recommend this.. from first opening, me b like, 'oh you wait, oh you wait untill light my fire,, oh you wait luke ' 🔥🔥🔥
Ah, Shakugan no Shana the anime that introduce me to Mami Kawada, Kotoko, and Altima.
6:17 JOINT to this day is still in my top 20 ops of all time. Such a hard-core bop of a song.
I highly recommend you to react to the endings of Shakugan no Shana, it's good as the openings 🙏🙏🙏
Holy crap!
It's been almost 20 years since this anime aired.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
DAMN THE MEMORIES! One of the shows I found immediately after finishing TTGL and started my deep dive into Anime. Still need to go back to it someday, and it looks like I have a lot of show left to see which is encouraging
I really love this Anime.
I think if you love ReZero, you will love this too.
BTW, the voice of Yuuji Sakai as a main character is same as overload.
I really have to thank you for reminding me of this Anime! This was one of the first Animes I‘ve ever watched with fansubs (because official ones weren‘t available yet during that time). Really introduced me to Anime as a whole aside from the shows that aired on TV. And because you reminded me of this Anime I searched for some more reactions and that‘s how I found about about the German cover of the season 1 openings from Selphy. Which are now part of the official German dub that came out a few years ago! It‘s been ages since Anime got localized here with actually German opening and even ending songs too and they‘re great! Can‘t believe I missed that for one of the most influential Anime during my youth! So really thank you for putting Shakugan no Shana on my radar again! And if you‘ve got the time then maybe check out the German season 1 openings and endings as well (even if you don‘t understand German but I mean it‘s the same for japanese anyway). They really turned out great!
Other openings you can react to that you didn't see/hear yet and they are all bangers:
1. Tales of Zestiria - "White Light"
2. Black Bullet by fripSide
3. Kamisama no inai nichiyoubi
4. Muv luv alternative total eclipse - "Go to the Top"
5. Shadow's House OP 2 - "Song Shall We Dance?"
6. Ga-Rei Zero - "Paradise Lost"
And ofc endings:
1. Gosick - "Resuscitated Hope" (you'll want to hear the full version of this after)
2. Shadows House ED 1 - "Nai Nai"
3. Fairy Tail ED18 - "Don't Let Me Down"
4. Witch Craft Works
5. Occultic;Nine- "Open your eyes"
6. Fire Force - "Veil"
The Black Bullet opening is very good, but the Black Bullet ending "Tokohana" is even better.
I'm pretty sure Luke has already listened to Nai Nai. Still ReoNa's best song, and that's saying something.
@@deathslinky2768 i think he listened to ED 2 and not 1... at least i don't remember seeing that reaction, so i could be wrong.
Hi! Nice for you to react to it!
It's dark fantasy, with great music, great characters, with very detailed troublesome relationships, incluiding love, and a mastermind story, that has and end! ( most anime don't have an end, hehehe ).
One of my all-time favorite animes, and the greatest of my teenages.
I suggest giving a try to the endings. Up to this day I still listen to Sociometry and I'll believe since both songs were released.
Nice, this is one of my favorite anime's. It's not perfect and has a ton of flaws but still a great anime. Also, the voice actress for Shana is so good. So much nostalgia in this. The anime is completed and I think you'd enjoy it.
Only Op? Ed are great too!!
Such an underrated show and Op 1 after all of these years is still in my personal top 10.
React also in the Opening Songs of Asterisk War!
You can't watch Shakugan no Shana without watching Zero no Tsukaima (The Familiar of Zero), same boy/girl voice actor for the same boy/girl romance for both shows. They aired around the same time. There's also an interesting new anime coming out starring both same seiyuus so this will be their 'reunion' as actors.
The actor name Rie Kugimiya (and Rie Tanaka) will become familiar to you as you watch more titles. Rie Kugimiya is always the loli squeaky girl while Rie Tanaka is usually the older onee-san character.
This singer for the first couple Shakugan no Shana openings is well known as Kotoko, her songs were also used for openings of Hayate no Gotoku (Hayate the Combat Butler). Great nostalgic stuff from early 2000s!
I also recommend reacting to the ToAru series if you haven't reacted to that already but I think you might have.
Man, talk about a blast from the past. I remember watching this back when it first aired. I feel old now, lol.
I honestly feel so old thinking that so many ppl watching anime now don't know shakugan no shana. And im not even 30 yet.
Kind of makes me depressed ngl :(
Some of the openings are done by Mami Kawada and some by Kotoko. Interestingly enough this isn't the only time they've both done an opening or ending song for the same show. Mami Kawada did the opening for Starship Operators and endings for Please Teacher/Please Twins, while Kotoko did the ending for Starship Operators and openings for Please Teacher/Please Twins. Mami Kawada also did openings for A Certain Magical Index, and one ending for Hayate No Gotoku! Kotoko on the other hand did openings for Hayate No Gotoku!
This show was during the time when its competition and most famous show was (A Certain Scientific Index.Railgun,Accelerator series) hince why the music is this type. That series had the best songs and was the music people liked at the time. You might try that series after your done with Shana. Not sure if you have. For music that's sus and rock, hidden gem like drifters you should check out Killing Bites, it's good as Drifters song.
if you enjoyed early 2000s anime opening like this, try nanoha series opening. one of the best jp female vocal
Fantastic Early 00's Jpop from Kawada Mami and Kotoko. If you ever do a series where you check out all of the songs from a given band/singer EITHER of these two would make for a fantastic and jampacked episode.
So, Luke, you finally reacted to the Shana OP´s.
I regularly requested them and i am SO thankful to your Twitch Chat that voted for them.
But PLEASE react to the full version of "Light my fire" (your fav OP 6, from Kotoko btw), the song is 10 times better in the full version because it gets weirdly cut in the OP version - you won´t regret it!
I'm glad people voted for this, I remember recommending this to thechannel I think like a year ago. It just took sometime lol. Now do the endings because some of them are actually really good.
Really good anime i gotta say, a lil bit old but rlly good, very recommended watching it, and please listen to the endings.
Shakugan no Shana's one of my favorites. It's a dark urban fantasy about love between humans & supernatural entities. Basic premise is a boy named Yuji is saved after a girl with flaming hair and her master the Flame of Heaven appear before him, only for them to reveal Yuji is a torch-a leftover fragment of someone who was eaten by a Crimson Denizen
Yes i still have opening 6 on my phone till today ! :D Love it and i loved your reaction to it ! :D
Btw thanks for reacting on this anime opening
my brother, I'm feeling nostalgic, it feels like I was 15 years old again watching this anime for the first time more than 10 years ago
So glad you reacted to one of my favorite animes. Shakugan no Shana is really good, but I think is kinda underrated because very few people talk about it. Has a very good story with balanced action scenes with emotional drama, kinda hard to understand the story sometimes because it gets deep and characters are just throwings hints for what's coming next, but if you pay attention and you hold to the 3rd season with the climax, you realize how good this anime is
One of the Flare (from Hololive) 3D live concerts had her singing "Joint" (Shana II OP1) which is probably where you remember hearing it. Mami Kawada is such an amazing singer and KOTOKO had some really good songs as well for Shana. It's a shame that the early and mid 2000s anime have mostly been lost to the internet subconscious outside of what aired on Adult Swim. If you want another great series with great OPs from around this same time period, check out the openings for Full Metal Panic and Familiar of Zero.
I've been waiting for this for so long. You need to react to the endings as well.
Omg, I’m getting bored waiting for my next flight at the airport. You’ve brightened up my day with this reaction! Shakugan no Shana might not have been the best adaptation, but it’s one of my childhood anime and I’m really glad that you’re also enjoying the openings! Thanks so much! ^^
I recommend the ending songs as well!
This, zero no tsukaima, toradora and index. Man i need a time machine
if it comforts you: Rie Kugimiya also voices Momo in Jujutsu Kaisen - i feel old....
Noo my favorites
i have been waiting for this day to come! I absolutely love Shana and its such a hidden gem.
This is literally a top 10 anime for me!!!! I’m so happy you reacted to this~
Hopefully you’ll do a watch through soon ☺️😆
There’s 3 seasons and a movie it’s all done
Also please give Gundam Seed openings a watch
your feeling on the tone of this anime is SPOT on lmao
Shakugan no Shana, Zero no Tsukaima and Tengen toppa gurren lagann were the first not mainstream anime i ever watched. Very fond memories i gotta say.
Gurren Lagann could be considered mainstream today - at least its opening made it somewhat popular
the other 2 are hidden gems
Didn't expect this, all the nostalgia hurt me like a truck.
You should definitely check out endings as well! Some of them are pretty great
F**k Yeah! Great series and got one of my most favorites Singers of all time
i love Shakugan no Shana and i really dont expect you react to this :D
i have replica of her blade :3
Truly a hidden gem, I found all episodes back then on youtube.Good times!
