ultragamma: how's your day?

rini: *in her cheerleader outfit* =)

yo

I don't know if it was a spin-off, but it's related to Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles.

Sounds like a good challenge. It's definitely high up on my list of things to do now.

I'm glad. The Ikki Tousen fic will get much better. The SHana one I'm going to continue. The focus will be more evenly split between Shana and Haruhi in the future.

They're unrelated, actually. MariahHolic is...incredibly odd, even for anime.I would suggest looking it up on wikipedia- AFTER watching the anime opening on YouTube. It's really out there, and kind of hard to explain. I've never watched it. I was just curious if you'd heard of it, because no one seems to have.

That sounds evil. Fun, but evil. If I didn't get the first hit on him in the old games, I was almost certainly screwed.

Enjoy!

Cool. I'll put it up soon. That, and an IkkiTousen fic I had started a while back. That should be up soon, too.

Nice! Say, have you ever seen/heard of MariaHolic?

Sounds like a good time. Hopefully the bosses are more difficult. It got annoying in DW6 that you were ridiculously helpless in the beginning, but by the end you could just whittle their life down until they got in a lucky shot.

Okay, both Ikki Tousen and Haruhi/Shana have been posted.

Oh, this was a while ago. Maybe even a couple years. It's more 'Haruhi' than 'Shana' in the first chapter or so, but I'll post it once I clean it up a little bit more. My grammar sucked back then.

I recommend it. The novel and manga don't match up timeline wise sometimes, but both are excellent. The novel moreso, since it's the original story.
The third season should be out soon. Rather, the boxset. Individual DVD's are out for a decent price on Amazon. Usually you find them as Shana II, at least stateside.

They experimented with something like that in Samurai Warriors, I think. The blocks of musou I mean. Guan Yu has been disappointing up until now imho, so I'm looking forward to a challenge.

I've also updated 'Mercenaries'. Enjoy!

Yeah I took a bit of notice to some of that.I had posted a shana fic a while back, but no one took interest so I deleted it. It was an interesting mix of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Shakugan no Shana. So I decided to add some Shana to Naruto. I didn't at first, thinking it didn't fit. Then I saw Konan and Pain, and at that point pretty much anything goes.

Good question. I know Geneon was the group that released the boxset that had seasons one and two in it, and I think they used Shout! factory for their VA's, but I'm not sure. Funimation is usually pretty decently quality, so that's a good sign.

It really does. That, and I always got a kick out of leading hordes of people in circles, spinning around and cutting them down for Musou fodder, then running again.

Sorry for the late reply, btw. I got dragged to a wedding in Canada this weekend -_-'. Blah. I hate weddings. Even though there were some legitimately hot girls there...non-family, too, for a change!

You'll see a lot of Shana-ish effects in 'Serving', if you know where to look. Like Yuji's fight against Pain. I was in a Shana mood when I wrote that a few months ago.
And yes, I'm a ShanaXYuji fan myself. And in case it was still a mystery, my Yuji was named (at least party) for Yuji Sakai.

Kagami, definitely! Or maybe Chisame Hasegawa from Negima's english VA's. Can't think of her name. If they did an english version of the title theme, I would say Caitlin Glass or maybe even Skye Sweetnam (though I usually hate the translated themes).

Did they at least keep the right stick camera configuration? The one-stick movement control drove me nuts in DW5.

I haven't talked to you in a while, so I thought I'd drop by to say hello, and ask how you've been?

Those are all good names (that have not appeared in Shana to date). Season 3 is due for a release in the US shortly. It's theme is 'Joint' by Mami Kawada. STELLAR opening. In fact, I picture that one scene we talked about for our co-op fic during it. at :55-1:05 mark, I always pictured Yuji in Shana's spot, walking in on Kazumi (Azami) and Yuji (Ryofu), with that sort of shocked look on his face. For when Azami is drenched by Ryofu's jutsu and whips her top off, I mean.

In the eng imho, Shana doesn't sound Tsundere. She just sounds like, well, a dog, lol. Yuji's VA did a fairly good job, though.

I'll have to give it a shot, then. I think they finally got the control system right for DW6:E. If they've improved on that, perfect!
