Review Shakugan non Shana Movie


 
The pendent on her chest can talk so I guess there is a reason to have your eyes down there
Yuji Sakai is your average high school student until one day while walking down the street he runs into a giant doll monster who starts eating people and is quickly stopped by a girl with flaming hair and a sword. It is then that Yuji learns that he not a normal human but a torch, temporary spectral replacement for the real Yuji which was devoured by a denizen of the crimson world. Yuji or what is left of him has to come to terms with his new mortality and find out what is plaguing the town where he lived.
 
minor characters go poof
The Shakugan no Shana movie is a retelling of the first story arc of the series (first four episodes of the anime show or the first light novel). This is to say that this movie requires no previous Shakugan no Shana experience. There are a few changes from how television series or nevel went so you might want to still see this even if you have seen Shakugan no Shana in some other form. No matter what your experience with the franchise this is a generally good supernatural action movie.
 
spoilers, this movie is different
So what this means is that if you watch this movie you will get several decent fight scenes connected by some scenes with average character development for an action movie with some perfunctory thoughts on the meaning of mortality.
 
Overall I would say this is a great movie but if you are looking for either a starting looking at the franchise or simply a way to waste an hour and a half this movie will certainly fit the bill.
 
Rating the bronze Haruhi for being a decent movie adaptation of a light novel. It's not great but it is entertaining enough.
