"Despite enjoying the first season of Shakugan no Shana, Shakugan no Shana Season 2 Part 1 made so many missteps with pacing and story development it seemed the series would remain stuck in a rut forever. However with the completion of Part 2 of this season, it is easy to say that my faith with the series has been restored as not only has all that poorly paced character development and love-triangle drama managed to pay off, but it has done so in spades."
