Wielding a blazing sword, Shana is a fiery huntress whose sole purpose is to fight demon-like beings that consume human lives. To reduce the impact on the human realm, Shana turns the slain into shadows of their former selves. Once a flame that represents their remaining life goes out, they fade from existence. This should have been Yuji's fate, but when he discovers he holds a special power that ignites a new found strength in Shana, they join forces in her ongoing mission to maintain the balance between the ordinary world and the supernatural. Set to be re-released in Australia next month on DVD and Blu-ray. check out this new review for the upcoming release.
Originally released in Japan in 2005, Shakugan no Shana has been what I would consider a successful anime series, spanning over two, hopefully three soon
