Shakugan no Shana: Season 3, Part 2 (Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

Absolutely love this anime it is a must watch must buy

Yuji has disappeared following the battle that concluded season 2. All that he has left behind are the memories that his friends have of him and the love letters that he received from Yoshida and Shana on Christmas Eve. After some time, he returns, but as the leader of Bal Masque. A battle erupts upon his return. He takes Shana away with him and leaves Marjorie injured and in a coma. Keisaku rushes to Marjorie's side and realizes how much he loves her. Meanwhile, Wilhelmina, Khamsin, and Rebecca Reed (an old friend of Wilhelmina) set out to rescue Shana. In the midst of all this, a full scale war has broken out between Bal Masque and the Flame Hazes.I was very surprised at how this season began. All of a sudden Yuji is gone, and a bad guy? Well, I guess that's one way to stir up some drama. The war that breaks out between the opposing sides is pretty cool and I was also very shocked at what transpires between Keisaku and Marjorie. So far, season 3 offers some incredible plot twists, tons of action, and some touching drama. As you may expect, the animation, voice acting and soundtrack are all excellent. I can't think of a single bad thing to say about this season so far. There are a lot of new characters introduced that also play some key roles. I do wish that they had been introduced earlier, but that's all I can really say about this part that left me wanting to know more. Overall, I'm thrilled. It's just a shame that the end is in sight. In her final hour, Shana burns brighter than ever. This is one anime that you would be a fool for missing.

I am a major fan of this series... This was a wonderful introduction to the final season. If you are unfamiliar with the storyline there are some twists in season three that really brings the series to life. Without spoiling anything... You will get to meet a number of new and... eccentric flame haze.If you are familiar with this series, buy season three parts one and two. If not, but you still enjoy anime, I would still advise you to check this series out.

Season 3 is by far the best season of Shakugan no Shana. Season one was great, season 2 was good but a little slow at times (school festival stuff) - but season 3 surpasses the first 2 seasons by far. This is where things get real interesting, The introduction of more characters on both sides - the Denizens and Flamehaze is really what makes this season great, as well as the culmination towards all out war, where the leader of the Denizens is certainly surprising. I only wish I could have gotten all of season 3 in one set, like seasons one and two. The move towards breaking anime into smaller and smaller sets is irritating to say the least - like they did with Bleach - you could get all the seasons in larger boxes of disks until after the Bount saga, then they started selling the episodes as only 3 disk sets - Anime Companies - Stop doing this - Charge what you want, but stop making collecting episodes more difficult please. Also I am weary of the push towards Blue Ray - I will not succumb unless regular DVD gets dropped all together - at which point I will be incredible angry. At least thus far you can find the combo DVD with Blue Ray sets - even though I don't particularly like paying more for additional disks I wont use.

Anyone who enjoys actions with a sidestory of romance would enjoy this anime. This ended the anime pretty well with an emotional final battle, though some may argue that the ending left much to be desired it could also be argued that it was just the right amount. The 5/5 is based on my enjoyment of the anime.

READ BEFORE BUYING! When I purchased the title for this box set was different. It neglected to mention this the limited edition of Shakugan No Shana Season three "PART ONE". I was under the impression that it was the complete third season limited edition box set. So before you but this bare in mind that you are buying twelve episodes for around eighty dollars. However, the box is the same hard cardbord as all of the other funimation limited edition box sets, so its big enough for part on and two. (I even has a card board stand in for where part two can fit into this box.) But again there is no Season three part two "Limited edition." You could by the regular part to and put it in the box, but then that would look weird so you might was well just buy the two normal part one's and two's for the same price that you can get this one. ( Unfortunately I will have to buy part two normal edition to complete this set, but I'm going to keep and eye out for a part two limited edition, and edit this review if I find one! )

i saw that its coming out in march and i cant wait but i wonder if its going to be on dvd or a combo pack. And i hope both parts turn out in english dub. and i wonder why their is two part 1s saying blu ray

well this is probably one of those good animes that you don't know nothing about the characters are lovable the story is great the animations great has just the right action comedy and romance highly recommend you look at the entire series of this
