Shakugan no Shana Movie

Good enough.

It's a sort of remake of the first few episodes of the first season of the anime. So there is nothing major to see. The differences lie in the flow of the story and are only noticeable in the final half of the movie.

Some of the minor details in the movie include:
  • Wilhelmina is always on T.V. and is traveling.
  • Yuji's father is in Gobi Desert according to his mother.
  • Yoshida's love interest for Yuji is revealed as early as before the real Yukari passed away.
  • Friagne the Hunter used more dolls.
The weirdest thing about this movie is that Yuji was able to cast a Fuzetsu. Another revelation is the fact that Alastor did not randomly select Shana as his vessel. Shana was selected because of her capability to unleash Alastor without destroying herself in the process.

This movie, like other anime series based movies, is jargon to all non-Shana watchers.
