Shakugan no Shana S 01 Released!

Yoshida Kazumi is hotter than Shana. She is nicer. She is cuter. She is closer to Yuuji’s personality. She is a better fit for Yuuji than Shana. Yoshida Kazumi is superior to Shana in every way possible. Kusion disagrees, but this is how I have felt for over 2 years. Heck, just ask Asuki. ;)

So, this is why we’re doing this:

Kusion: Let’s do Shana S!
Kristen: No.
Kusion: We’ll do it in joint with Mamiko!
Kristen: No.
Kusion: Mamiko’ll provide everything except encode!
Kristen: Um… OK?

We did wind up providing a little bit more than that, but still, most of the credit goes to mamiko. Please visit them at their website.

Edit: It seems like we also provided editing and timing and typesetting and karaoke? I didn’t know that.

Specs – Softsubbed karaoke, softsubbed typeset, softsubbed text muxed onto a raw encoded from Blu-Ray with unadulterated 2.0 PCM->FLAC audio for HD versions, AAC for 480p, MP3 for XviD.

1080p: Kazumi x Yuuji 4eva

720p: Kazumi >>>> Shana!

DDL: Veritias is NOT back lulz

480p: Kazumi is hotter than Shana!

XviD: Please download one of the other links.

    personality doesnt matter, shana is hotter, way hotter

  16. sarni Says:

    yeah!

  17. Pink Lemonade Says:

    [TRUTH=] It’s BECAUSE Kasumi is closer fit to Yuuji’s personality that they are NOT a good match. Yuuji needs Shana. [/TRUTH]

  18. Pink Lemonade Says:

    Also, Shana is hotter. And Tsundere.

  19. Miroku74 Says:

    Kazumi is better than Shana, IMOO.

    Kazumi is too wimpy : >

  27. Frankt Says:

    so this ovas are the way shana is gonna end? or there will be more after the ovas ):
    thank you for this btw

  28. Drew Says:

    Yoshida Kazumi can die in a very low temperature fire, as to make her death as excruciating and horrifying as possible. And then she can continue to burn in a hell reserved only for the most obnoxious people on the face of the planet.

    There she will find herself accompanied by the likes of Sairenji Haruna and that dumb maid bitch from Zero’s Familiar.

    And together they will burn for being dumb bitches who are meant to frustrate anime watchers everywhere with their stupid, getting-in-the-way-of-the-real-romance-ness.

    Shana is love. Anything else will not be accepted.

  29. chazzgt Says:

    @Kusion I’m terribly sorry! Got to exited and forgot to give appropriate 10x to each. Consider this my v2 message LOL:

    besides, Kazumi wil ldie a horrible death, l sent an assassin after her :]

  43. Taonas Says:

    Thanks for the fast release, been looking forward to it!!
    Now I just with the other 3 OVAs would come out sooner than one every 3 months =(
    Any plans to pick up season 3 next fall?

  44. Havoc10K Says:

    next fall ? are they nuts ?

    BTW
    Shana is a super Loli !
    shes the 1.000.000 paper bill of loli currency.

  45. klaymore Says:

    thx for the 480

    after some thinking, best is Shana + Kazumi ^^

  46. Modhesh Says:

    thanks for the site which does fairy tail.

    anyways, I’m just curious, Do I need to watch the previous shanas to be able to cope up with this? yeah I have no Idea what shana is except that shes a flame alchemist or something.

  47. Kusion Says:

    @Modhesh: probably a few references to s1 and s2 but nothing major for now

  48. -_- Says:

    I like the Yandere Yoshida Kuzumi in Shana-tan better.

  49. Modhesh Says:

    @Kusion
    Thanks. I’ll watch it.

  50. happyGuy Says:

    Shana ftw!

    thx Chihiro – Mamiko!

  51. JoCurryrice Says:

    Shana >> Everything else. That’ how I’ve felt for all these years. I can’t believe Kristen doesn’t agree. Well, I agree that Kazumi is very cute, but Shana is way cuter (in her own way…). Anyway, thanks to mamiko and chihiro for this great release.

  52. Path Says:

    You’re both fools – the only sensible pairing is Shana x Yoshida.

  53. Datenshi Says:

    great thanks for the release guys ^_^

    also Shana FTW ! ^_^ :P

  54. Aero Says:

    You guys are seriously the best sub group I’ve seen. But this makes you go beyond all my original expectations. Thank you for the new Shana.

  55. Mirandur Says:

    Could someone point me to the right FLAC codec used? The codec I downloaded from flac.sourceforge.net does nothing for giving me audio, neither does the Directshow filters from xiph.org…

    Might I suggest Chihiro put up a page listing to the various codecs they use, or make it a bit easier to find, if they already have one?

  56. MaD-EyE-MoOdY Says:

    Shana + Shimapan = EPIC Shana !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  57. Makura-chan Says:

    Kazumi FTW!!

  58. Shadow Says:

    @Mirandur

    I use CoreFLAC Decoder:

  59. Samiot Says:

    Thanks for the release chihiro! And btw ——– Shana > all

  60. Mirandur Says:

    @Shadow
    That did the trick, thanks a bunch! ^_^

  61. ... Says:

    pfft please!
    Wilhelmina>all

  62. Miokun Says:

    I despise Kazumi. Shana > all

  63. funky Says:

    Your taste in girls sucks.

  64. KoSa333 Says:

    “Yoshida Kazumi is hotter than Shana. She is nicer. She is cuter. ” And she has bigger breasts as well ;) But I still like Shana rather :)

  65. BokuWaOtakuJaNai Says:

    just a suggestion…you might need to fix the 1080 version. The timing is way off. The subs come in way behind the audio. Maybe it’s just me, and I can fix the timing for myself on MPC, but please check it. Thanks guys!

    Edit: I’ve checked all possible settings (I think) on MPC but it won’t let me put in a negative delay interval on the subs. I guess I’ll have to watch the 720p version!

  66. CP Says:

    Timing of the 1020 version is not way off at all, but my 2.5 year old dual core is _just_ not able to cope with the karaoke which slips slightly. The regular text works just fine.

    Guess I’ll have to get a quad core soon ;D

  67. Fuzzbucket Says:

    Holy huge file, Batman!!!

    Anyway, is this an old show that y’all are subbing off blu-ray or is it something that’s currently airing? I downloaded it and am seeding right now but was just curious. Looks promising, though.

  68. J.R. Says:

    I was firmly in the I <3 Kazumi bootcamp until I watched this.
    Now I must say, I <3 Shana

  69. Shadow Says:

    @Fuzzbucket

    This is an OVA that was released on the 23rd. Amazingly quick subbing, de arimasu.
    [i]“Fan approved.”[/i]

    Thanks for the release, Chihiro!

  70. wingsunleashed Says:

    Okay. In ANOTHER channel, there was some confusion about if this is season
    2 of Shana – no.

    There was Shakugan no Shana season 1, 24 eps, Oct 2005 to
    March 2006.

    An ova, December, 2006.

    A film, which was basically a redo of an arc of the 1st season, April, 2007.

    Shakugan no Shana Second, 24 eps, oct 2007 to March, 2008.

    Then this is Shakugan no Shana S, a five ep ova.

    There WILL be a season 3, which will be the third and final installment, but no
    idea when or even how many eps it will be. And actually, I think that’s actually
    waiting on the finishing up of the light novels or something, of which there are 22.

    Or something. Ennywho…lemme stop writing about anime and start watching some!

    ARIGATOU FOR THIS!!!!!

  71. KICKASSKAZUMI Says:

    Shana all >>>>>>>>>>>>
    Kazumi DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  72. ThePeoplesChamp Says:

    Can you guys release a 1080p version of this with AC3 audio? FLAC isn’t working right for me.

  73. wingsunleashed Says:

    uh oh. There’s a v.2 720 release? J00 GUNNA MAEK ME WATCH IT AGAIN!???!?!?!?!

    Heh ha…enny excuse to do so is just fine…

  74. CrowKenobi Says:

    Looks like an unofficial re-encode to me…

  75. wingsunleashed Says:

    o.O ??? I SWEAR…there was one. I even came back here figuring there would
    be some comment as to why they did a v.2 – now I can’t find it? wtf?

  76. TheWingless Says:

    There IS a v2, but it’s UNOFFICIAL.
    Quote from the torrent on NyaaTorrents:
    Re-encode of original Mamiko-Chihiro release.
    “I hate FLAC audio….and I don’t like having large files clogging up my computer and if you agree you should probably check this out.
    Re-encoded using triple-pass High Profile x264 with max reference and b-frames – excellent efficiency.
    Audio has been re-encoded to AAC-LC VBR 1.0
    Really….it does not take 400MB+ for any sort of 720p anime ep to look good….you can see from this ep at 180MB it already looks quite excellent.”
    And some sort of quality comparison picture here: http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/1241/shanaf.png

  77. boneknocker Says:

    That why V2 look like a fake one for me ha ?

    A lot of graphic damage on it. Especially a lot of pixels damage spread around that version.

    I think the first version is better to keep.

  78. Kei Says:

    Nah, Shana is MUCH hotter than Kazumi.

  79. naoan Says:

    what’s wrong with 720 ver. color? (didn’t check other version)
    here’s a comparison :

    chihiro : http://i38.tinypic.com/2ahciro.png
    BD 1080 raw : http://i37.tinypic.com/fkqfrk.png

    and I don’t think my player’s at fault :/

  80. Ninja-Samwray Says:

    WOW, 900+Mb is… mind boggling.

    Seems the current high quality stuff might replace xvid encodes in the near future lmao.

    Anyway, thanks!

  81. Lero Says:

    If you say “Shana is hotter than Kazumi” = “I’m a lolicon who likes bipolar women”
    Kazumi is better than Shana = I’m a normal guy like other in the world

    Yuuji dissapoints me like Saito, don’t needs anyone cause he is gay.

  82. Kei Says:

    Have you watched tis ep/second season at all?
    Big breasts aren’t necessary, personally i prefer a bit smaller ones.
    And Shana isn’t as loli as loli should be so you know what? I would gladly take her home :D

  83. AK Says:

    I personally think 1080 is overrated, then again I say that because I lost my computer to play 1080. Whatever, though this might be an off statement how many people out there actually own a decent size monitor with a 1080 p or 1200p resolution? I personally have one and only one.

  84. Arokan Says:

    Woah, 1080p version even lagged my pc in the karaoke.
    Even 10,00 barrels exploding in crysis didn’t do that. (Lets not mention the _other_ pc that tried to render said explosion.)….

  85. intothenight Says:

    When Yoshida-tan starts saying uruchai, uruchai, uruchai, I might consider her being half as cute as Shana. She’ll never catch up to Shana-tan.

  86. Havok Says:

    Hey guys! Thanks for the releasse! Any werd on the next episode?

    Shana > The Universe!

  87. moo Says:

    what Havok said. we’ve got BD subs in spanish and thai but all the english only dvd or 720 upconvert

  88. Stealth_kkj Says:

    The second episode of Shana S is out! Plz Sub it!
