Shakugan no Shana!

When I saw this anime for the first time, all I could think about was a high school girl got awesome supernatural abilities and have epic actions with addition of comedy and romance. Hmm... Sounds interesting. So I decided to give it a go. The result was really good but I just don't really how the anime ends.

The story of Shakugan no Shana starts with the conflict between two parallel worlds. The human world and another world that is named Guze. In this other world, there are creatures called Guze no Tomogara which have the powers to manipulate the Power of Existance. This power functions as a fuel to any kind of biological creatures within our planet. The piece between the two worlds was disturbed when the lord of Guze no Tomogara called the Guze no Õ creatures starts to feel careless and collect the Power of Existance from the human being, thus disrupting the balance between the two parallel universe. Due to this conflict, some lords that are even more powerful than the Guze no Õ known as Gods, contract humans to become a Flame Haze, whose duty is to maintain the balance between the two worlds by eliminating any Tomogara disrupting it.

The story largely takes place in Misaki City, Japan and resolve in a normal high school student named Sakai Yuji meeting a Flame Haze girl with flaming red eyes and dressed in black wielding a katana. The girl have informed him that he had died some time ago that his torch, a some sort of replacement of the Power of Existence that will slowly runs out. Yuji befriends with the girl and names her "Shana" after her sword. That is all of the main idea of the story. If I continue from here onwards, it would spoil the whole anime. So for further details, I recommend you to watch it for your self.

In overall this anime is good, from the animation, plot and echii~ hehe. Some scene were funny and some of them are dead serious. Great plot and what I like the most is how the character develops through out the story. This anime is recommended for you to watch. So I would actually rate this anime a 3.5/5 good, but not awesome.
