Anime Night: Shakugan no Shana Movie


159 Mulfordis the place to be if you want to see the Shakugan no Shana Movie. It's a classic tale of a flame-sword wielding girl and her pet mistes. You know what I'm talking about! Well maybe you don't. It's hard to explain. Anyways this movie is a retelling of the first season of the Shakugan no Shana TV series, which I watched and enjoyed. It wasn't the best show, but from what I've heard/read the movie fixed that. For those not in attendance BT files courtesy of animesuki.com.

Helpful terms below from the CAL Animage Alpha site (there will be a test):

Power of Existence (Sonzai no Chikara): Pretty much exactly what it sounds like, the energy that allows everything to remain in existence.

Torch: A temporary replacement for a human whose existence has been depleted or erased, they fade away after a time, they think and act as if they were the one they are replacing though they are not. Their job is to lessen the shock of the disappearance of people from existence.

Treasure Tool: A special item that often gives it's owner some sort of special ability, sometimes even an unrestriced method.

Mistes: A special kind of torch that contains a treasure tool (though they may or may not be aware of it). Mistes are often hunted by those who want their treasure tools.

Flame Haze: a servant contracted to a Lord of the Crimson realm whose job is to maintain the balance of the world usually by hunting Denizens of the Crimson realm who consume too much power of existence.

I don't remember this "treasure tool" business. Did they call it something else in the show? And if they actually translate guze no tomogara (or whatever it is) to "denizens of the Crimson Realm" throughout the whole movie I might go insane.
