The July issue of Dengeki Bunko has revealed confirmation of a third season of J.C. Staff’s fan-favorite series, Shakugan no Shana.
Speculation and rumors over a likely third season has been brewing for some time now, but this is the first concrete confirmation through official channels of the new series.
As they often are with these sort of announcements, details are scarce, with some rumors even suggesting that the upcoming series will be a remake rather than a continuation from the second season, although that might seem far fetched.
Regardless of the exact details, this can hardly be seen as anything but joyous news for fans of the fiery-haired melon-pan lover.

God dammit, not that crappy show again. A damn waste of screen time. It would be acceptable if there was no shana, though. She completely ruins the series.
Do.not.want.
Diaf.
Then, don't watch it.
No one is forcing you to watch this series.
I am.
He should be made to watch it tied to a chair, with his eyes peeled open.
I agree with this, Shana > all
oh hi Hyo, nice to see you here...the next line is just for you
Shana > Hei
Funny, i found Margery the most annoying and she's my least favourite in the show. The only reason i want her to stay in the show is to developt Sato's character. Hell, Ogata is a lot better than her.., and how i wish that twincest gothloli gets the blondie role instead.
Oh yes, I am a hater.
Seriously, the parts with the two delinquents and the usually-drunk-blond tend to crack me up, but shana herself is just plain annoying.
Dunno, maybe it's my hatred for kids & most loli looking/childishly behaving characters kicking in (childish loli tsunderes are the fucking worst)... And no, I'm not a troll. I'm willing to accept I'm wrong if the third season proves to be good and portrays the little bitch in an acceptable way. But, as I said in my post below, I expect an equal amount of fail, if not more.
He laughs best who laugs last, shanafags.
Peace~
Oi, geimu, you are a lie and there is no shana!
And to all you other shanafags... Well, tough luck, your little princess also has her share of haters.
*prints out a shana picture and throws darts at it*
To say that Shana ruins Shakugan no Shana shows you aren't a hater, just a retarded troll. If you hate Shana, SnS isn't meant for you and you aren't going to enjoy it anyways so why bitch and moan about her?
Oh I WILL watch it. For the sake of getting more arguments why shana sucks big time~ <3
then you are ABSOLUTELY retard
Die in a fire.
just dont watch it you know. you really dont have to. and shakugan no shana rocks.....
For my country, it means that "to be gone into 'the sea' (again)" lol
fuck awesome!
more of teh Rie <3 <3 <3
Shana FTW! HELL YEAH!
YEZZZZZZZZZZZZZ BITCHEZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
weeee more news...
new season: more noizi ito artwork <3
*JC staff artwork. Style is very different.
Which is a shame.
Hopefully, the writers will learn that fans want more action between the love triangles liked Season 1. I will be watching this remake, or not. =3 The main point of the story is wonderful.
However, it's no surprise for a new Shana. The series is going strong in the market with novels and such I bet.
If they will continue from season 2, its probably going to be more overreacted. From the novels, Yuji becomes (ahem) and he becomes SnH and fights with "HlFa" (swap the capitals from the quote)
I just hope it wont be like that :/
Oh and I know some people know what I mean.
it's been spoiler5fied a few times above.
That's going to be awesome, I can't wait.
if it isn't to be like in the novel, then what is the meaning? a new storyline created by the director? fvcking NO! we need it original
Can't wait for the 3rd season of shakugan no shana. Amazing series, can't wait till fall.
I HEAR IT'S TRUE! BUT I NEED TO NO THE DATE OF THE ACTUAL RELEASE DATE! DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN IT COMES OUT!?
someone said it will be come out at October 2011
wen does it come out? XO
Is there any official announce when season III will be relased ?
cool!!!!!!a 3rd season to shakugan no shana hope it's good as the other seasons..
Good Luck!
can there be a season 3 ??
dont u see the article above? =="
Wow, everybody hates...uh...what was her name? She's quite easy to forget. Not necessary at all. Shoulda been something like "I realized I was no match for Shana so I just decided to be in the background".
I wish that the third season (or whatever it ends up being) would instead be a straight adaptation of the source material, ike the new Hagane no Rekninjutsushi. No need to build a house on top of a crumbling foundation, just start again from the bottom up. Just don't forget the quality please. Moar quality.
guys dont you know the 3rd seasson is great
i think th last episode of seasson 3 you will see a best fight all flame haze vs valemaske and other guze..
i think in the last fight shana kill hecate but shana is dying to. so yuuji will sacrifice all of his existence to rescue shana but yuuji will disapear. how sad.. guest what? do you think yuuji will revive like the fushigi yuugi? ^ ^
SO BOLD!!!!!!!!!!I HATE IT,REALLY,SO i'm sorry but this website is ..............??????I DONT REALLY KNOW WHY U MAKE ANIME A BAD IMAGE!!!
bacot lah anjing
Please mail me if ever it will released
I really like the whole season 1 and 2 of shana
its the best anime i ever seen b4,
Lol I want to see shana and yuji happy forever.
damn they need to stop the stupid filler and bring out seirei no hebi sakai yuji
YES, MORE SHANA ACTION! <3
I hope season 3 will be alittle better because season 2 was abit of a disappointment, though. ;_;
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG YEES FINALLY i can die happy now ... well at least after i watch it
i hope in this season shana and yuji will lie forever...n_n
Yes! I love Shana.
The problem is the fucking bitch Yoshida.
I hope someon ewill kill her off. No, seriously. She is tha worst fucking side character ever.
hate her! kill her!
Shana BANZAI!!!
I am disappointed in the ending of Shakugan no shana 2nd Season but it's a good anime. i wish the 3rd season will be great.
well, the cause why the ending of SnH s2 was being like that will be revealed in s3 though.
+1
yeeees yeeeeeeeeeees yeeeeeeeeees!!!!
This is soo exciting to see a season 3 coming out! I really love the anime. First season was excellent and second season was okay but got to show Yuji powerful side.. Second season kinda disappointed me when Shana never got to say "I love you".. --baka yuji for not hearing in 1st season-- Im sorry but Ike is really ruining the season.. Hope they come up w/ more better ideas for the third season XD
Great ;] I can't believe xD
awesome!!!!....shakugan no shana has a new season,,,!!!
YES, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
:D
Ughhh no more
More like Tsundere no Loli 5.
That's a bad thing?
If this is a remake i'm going to be pissed.
Now all they need is another season of ZnT.
+1
Louise! Louise!
IMO, it's more of a cliffhanger than SnS. However, they both really need a continuation.
Yeah... I wanna see about all this silver fire shit. It seems to be an extremely broken arc so far.
Hooray for Shana. She still remains my favourite character. I really hope they either remake the series to properly play out the light novel, where several of its better moments never managed to make it into the anime such as Yuji stabbing Wilhelmina with Blutsauger during the school festival after she tried to kill him and Shana, as well as to set things in proper order as things got messed up in the first season somewhat but aside from the ending, it wasn't that bad. The second season though... I still enjoyed it but its massive break off from the light novel really wasn't something that should have happened, but given how they had paced things it was expected.
If they do a third season, a few of my friends who are also into Shana were wondering just what they could do and I certainly agree that there isn't a lot of material to cover since there are only novels 17 and 18 to cover, as well as a bit at the end of 16 that needs to happen in order for the events of those two novels to make any sense. Regardless though, they've already covered at least 17 of the novels, since they also did SnS 0 during season 2 and that was at the point where most people noticed the anime got a lot better again for obvious reasons, so season 3 is either going to be a lot of annoying filler or very short. If they do go this path, hopefully they can get someone in charge who actually can create scenes worthy of acting as filler material, though that is very unlikely.
I'm pretty sure there are more than 20 light novels published(volume 0 included). The Anime so far has covered up to volumes 15-16, though not all of the material in the light novels were adapted into the Anime so it would be less than that.
Hopefully they either remake the second season or surprise us in the 3rd season.
Altough they both ilustrated by Noizi Itou
Why the 10th book of Haruhi still not published yet.
WHY.....WHy.....
Clearly the illustrator is the sole defining factor in when a book gets published, not its author. You'd have to be mad to think otherwise.
There are 17 novels that are part of the main stoy and then 0, S, and S2 for a total of 20. The other 3 are just short stories compilations pretty much.
They certainly could, but working them into the series in a manner that makes sense might prove challenging though that's never stopped them from some of the changes they've made before so who knows?
I see, well I hope they take those short stories into consideration instead of using filler, if at all possible.
FUCK YEAHR!!!!!
love it!!!
I hope for more action & story and less cooking.
I knew it! This autumn, plox
Oh God, yes, oh Thank you God.. My No.1 favourite tsundere is finally (expected to be) back.. ;w;
And please, JC Staff. Bring back Itou-sama's original artworks for the ED and make use of her character design touch (as how Nanatsuiro Drops TV almost successfully did) in the show..
Lingerie Shana looks incredibly hot in that magazine cover,btw.

WOO! Great news. Now we only need a Zero no Tsukaima season 4.
I do wait for it! I like shana too but louise is number one for me :D
wee can't wait for moar shana-tan!
...you're just waiting for the joke OVAs?
Yay enjoyed 1st and 2nd seasons and now I'm happy that they made a 3rd one.
YOU CAN MAKE AS MANY SEASONS AS YOU WANT, BUT I'M AIN'T WATCHING IT! One season was more than enough for me... =_="
*boing, boing, boing, boing...*
Burn in hell.
there aren't anyone who tell you watch it though...
Hmmmmmmmmm soooo, how is the love triangle (hehehe love triangle... 三角関係... SANKAKU kankei) gonna work out? Didn't Yuuji already pick Shana at the end of season II? They'd better not pull some shitty excuse and pretend that didn't happen.
They hand waved the ending of the first season, and they hand wave it again probably.
... I was kinda pissed off at that. I really wanted Yuuji x Shana. If they do that for the ending of season II, I will rage so hard.
Woah spoilers ftl
I doubt they'll hand wave it completely since it is a lot harder to make that scene not happen in comparison to the ending of the first season, but as far as I remember, novel 15's high point was Yuji confessing his feelings for Shana and then proceeding to beat her down and take her to Seireiden. They do still have stuff to cover in between that happening, like Yuji getting quite depressed, though they've kind of killed the set up for it since the fight with Sabrac has already passed, and then making Yuji merge with the Snake of the Festival in order to turn him to Bal Masque's side and pull off the event above.
Haha haven't read the novels yet, so dunno how the plot is going... but then from your description there, I guess it IS possible to have a plot-driven excuse other than a "oh sorry, it was too loud and I didn't hear you" thing.
No, actually, that second season note is talking about Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, whose title is right above the text in that shot. The second season of that show was already previously announced, but an airdate had not yet been revealed. The issue *also* contains a mention of the coming Shana anime project, but that's not what the 2nd season and October date were referring to. (Now, there's a pretty good chance that Shana III will in fact air in October, but this screenshot isn't the proof it's purported to be in this post.)
Ah, good catch, thanks. I was just trying to find some explanation for the talk of a remake instead of a continuation...
It'd be a bit better if you removed the second screenshot and the mention of the October date, but I suppose you cover yourself with enough disclaimers for plausible deniability in case the magazine reveals differently. ^^;
I missed even that, too. Thanks relentless, you make a good proofreader. ^^;
...
Do we really need a 3rd season of this crap?
the story is not properly finish so they added 3rd season
Best be trollin t//b/.
Yes.
baka baka BAKA!!!
+1
season 1 failed miserably.. animation and story

you shall pay hard for those words
hey... shakugan no shana...?.... why dont u bother to watch sometimes...
No need to be sorry. Just die.

+2 without the sorry
die in a fire
Troll... BURN~
The only good thing about that anime was the ending theme...
I'd say all the themes, 'cept for season 1's ED 2, all the others were awesome. Made the show as a whole seem much better than it really was.
