"That's your torch I'm carrying"

I must admit I have developed a new fetish for light novels. Compared to dark sci-fi anime, all the 'moe' and fan service provided by the former can be (ahem)...rather pleasurable at times LOL

Been digging Season 2 of Shakugan no Shana (妁眼のシャナ ) Alright I'm abit over-excited that I can finally type Japanese and make out a handful of vowels and consonants, but yeah I have digressed. The flame-haired Shana was quite a letdown this time though. It's already episode 6, but only one battle has taken place so far! Most times we just have Shana sulking away with her melon bread and Yuji getting abused by the pink-haired French maid Wihelmina. There's also this Hecate (cum Yuki Nagato) lookalike who tugs at Yuji's sleeve 24/7. I mean it's a disturbing kind of innocence, but whatever happened to the on-going war between the Flame Hazes and Bal Masque?

This isn't right. Shana should be out there kicking ass (like the rest of the ballsy chicks), not playing with washing detergent.

Oh I do need to disclaim before my memory lapses: If you haven't had a clue to what I was writing about, just go wiki the title or something. In Japan, Shana's food fit for the 'seinen' (grown men) demographic, but in SG it's just plain girly-fare. I wonder why men here don't appreciate it, the series does have some fine TNA you know.

Yes, and I'm referring to the blonde cougar Margery Daw and her 'excessively-cupped assets' . She's been around for hundreds of years, but she still looks like a penthouse playmate! No wonder Keisaku and Eita have been keeping her in their home...

Hotness aside, one thing that struck a chord was Margery's quote in episode 6. The fansubbing might be inaccurate (yeah to hell with Nyoro~n and their shit Gundam 'fan stories' ) but it's still a very profound description about some of the tricky emotions many of us feel inside, so kudos to fansubbers Valkyrie's Sake for being so poetic haha.

"Love is like a mirror that reflects your bad side. Especially when it's unrequited, you get envious, jealous, prejudiced and resentful. You will have to face all sorts of emotions. But that's no reason to find it shameful, because it shows just how serious you are. Wanna know how to break that mirror? It's not that hard. All you have to do is understand the other person. Don't make any quick judgements, and don't let them do the same."

はい，わかりました！
