Shakugan no Shana 3rd Season Confirmed

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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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? ^ ^

    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

    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.

    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 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.

    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.)
