In case anyone else here likes anime, I wanted to recommend one that is not to commonly known. I am not really into anime but I really liked and enjoyed this series. It is called Shakugan no Shana and it has three seasons. You can watch for free at animefreak or download it through torrent. The later is preferable because the hosting for the stream is crappy and it freezes a lot, even in my fast internet. Its a nice series and totally worth it if you are bored of scripting or need something to do while you test your script.


This show is just amazing, try it and if you like it, enjoy it!

Season 1 Preview:

He had thought his normal days would last forever, until they were ended abruptly by an encounter with a girl with red hair and eyes. He named her Shana.

Not long after he enters high school, Sakai Yuji’s normal days come to an end. He sees something bizarre on his way home: people are frozen in a strange fire, and a monster that looks like a large doll is attacking them. Just when he's about to be killed, a girl in a dark cloak wielding a large sword appears, and slices the monster in half. Although Yuji survives the strange encounter, the girl informs him of a desolate truth: "You don’t 'exist' anymore."

She calls herself a Flame Haze who hunts “Guze no Tomogara”; intruders from another world. She explains to him that he is a "Torch”, a substitute of Yuji whose “existence” has already been devoured. She also told him that he is a special Torch, “Mystis”, which contains a precious item in it. When he looks at his chest, he sees within himself a faint flame, just as she said.

It is in this way that his eternal struggle alongside the girl begins. (Source: AnimeNFO)

Season 2 Preview:

Shana and Alastor, Lord of the Crimson Realm continue to do battle with the Denizens, who are trying to steal the Power of Existence from mortals. In the last battle, Yuji is revealed to be a mystes, a "torch" of nearly unlimited Power of Existince. Since the Denizens want to capture Yuji and use him to upset the balance of the Realm, Shana resolves to protect Yuji. Yuji then vows to join Shana in her fight. (Source: ANN)

I started the 3rd season as it came out (which ever one was airing just recently) and couldn't get into it, too many other good animes. >.> Watched the first two quite awhile ago.

I watched the first back when it was the only one that existsted, then watched the 2nd and 3rd recently, 3rd starts weird and slow but I gets really good past 4 or 5 episode.

Disagree with the old anime art and style

This anime stopped its original airing on March 2012, that is less than a month ago, if that is not new enough for you then be it, just don't judge without knowing much

Well i disagree with you once again, i don't know why you said 'stopped its original airing on march 2012' because i would still have to watch the old episodes/seasons from years ago, so what you said was wrong and is meaningless.
