Shakugan no Shana-tan Returns

Buoyed by the warm response to the first Shana-tan omake, this sequel is even more over the top.

Looks like the "uruchai uruchai uruchai!!!" animation has improved considerably.

Evil Ayako Kawasumi voice is so win.

Shana-tan's orange carton stacking and somersault was just great. As was Wilhelmina's dialogue with Tiamat especially when the conversation abruptly switches to yakiniku when Wilhelmina suddenly says: "I am hungry de arimasu." and Tiamat chimes in with menu suggestions.

Three different dogs on three consecutive days. I was rather upset that Shana-tan actually burned up the three cute animals. That's surely a crime. Such cruelty! I, for one, would have ensured that the dogs were skinned, gutted and hung for an appropriate period of time before applying a marinade of 11 secret herbs and spices to prep the meat for a proper BBQ. Then again, probably not as none of the three breeds above are really suitable for meat.

Hecate-chan!!

Evil Ayako Kawasumi x3 4TW!

Movie easter egg!
It says: "Please support the movie too!" on the guard of Nietono no Shana.

Evil Ayako Kawasumi x4 4TW!!
Even Tiamat mentions her name directly albeit with *beep*

In conclusion, a bucket of laughs. It's great when studios send up their own work. Though some series *coughGSDcough* that need this kind of sending up so badly don't actually do it. Except perhaps via Keroro Gunso.
