  • Was nearly 3am for me back then. Being a Brit sucks some times xD.

    And hell yeah. I've even actually given that as advice to a family friend who is doing English at the moment.
    To be honest, I can't remember the number (especially when it's nearing 3am xD) but it's still early on. What I usually do when I start to read again, is I quickly skim the beginnings and end of chapters to see if I'd already read them or not. I still find myself feeling nostalgia at the obvious inspiration from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX; with the dorms and such...kind of like a nostalgia trip, but not a nostalgia trip at the same time. I usually read about a chapter or two at a time though, so it will probably take me a while before I've finished it though 9.9.

    Well...I compared things like how the events in the book is confined to Wuthering Heights and one part of the book where the characters are confined in the house due to a snowstorm to the Seals in Shana and the Closed Space in Haruhi, also with how all of the events in Wuthering Heights revolve around Heathcliff, to how everything in Haruhi revolves around Haruhi. If anyone wants advise on an English A-Level I will say "Bullshit, but make it believable" and I use that exam as an example xD
    I've been reading the odd chapter now and then, but not having the internet for a whole week kinda mucked up my plans though xD. During that week, I tried to access Bulbagarden on my Grandpa's old computer, but his computer couldn't handle it (wouldn't even load the index page) >>. I need to dedicate a day to reading and stick to it xD.

    Wuthering Heights is a gothic novel that focuses around the residents of two houses on the Yorkshire Moors - Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange and specifically, the romance between Heathcliff, a random boy found on the streets in Liverpool and Cathy, the daughter of a well off family and how said romance eventually not only destroys them, but the people around them.
    Wuthering Heights is a book by Emily Brontë that was published in 1847; a "literary classic" that I had to study as part of my A-Level studies. I panicked during my exam when I realised that the only question that fit Wuthering Heights didn't fit any of the partner texts my class had studied, so a brief brain storm in my mind came up with two options to compare it to - Shakugan no Shana and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

    I have no idea why I get attached to side characters more...it always happens xD.
    Those siblings STILL creep me out! When my internet was down, I rewatched season 1 and all these years on...they still bug the hell out of me. And yeah, I really liked Khamsin (to the point that I nicknamed my Hitmontop after him...he does look like a Hitmontop doesn't he?). I always have a tendency to get more attached to side characters though (all of my favourite Shana characters are side characters, now that I think about it).

    I still think one of the greatest tragedies of the western anime scene is the Shana novel series being cancelled. Only 2 of the 25 books were translated (and the manga was later cancelled when it finished covering the material from book 2...). Did I tell you that in my A-Level English exam I compared Wuthering Heights to the first Shakugan no Shana novel? Specifically, how all of the events in Wuthering Heights revolved around Wuthering Heights (you don't say?) and Thrushcross Grange; whereas in Shana everything centres around Misaki City. I got a C, which is awesome.
    Khamsin never really hard a large role. He appears a lot in Shakugan no Shana III, but doesn't really do anything that notable.

    As for Shana...physically, she looks around 11/12 when she became a Flame Haze. Although knowing Flame Haze, it's impossible to tell how old she actually is now (after all, Khamsin is one of the oldest Flame Hazes, despite having a body of a young boy).

    With Lamies, the fact that he didn't fight and only went after torches that were about to go out was what made Alastor hesitant about Margery killing him - one, he does no harm and secondly, with the amount of power of existence he had gathered, if he were to be killed, it would all be released at once. I like how the distinction was made so early on that not all Crimson Denizens are threats and that the Flame Haze mission is merely to preserve the balance.
    Oh hush! XD

    Anyways, I need to get ready to go. I'll be on Skype while I'm at school. I don't want to be distracted by Bulba. :p
    Shana's wasn't bad, but I definitely prefer Rie's performance in the Japanese version. Dub Khamsin though........urgh >>
    It does to me. XD

    Okay, I just wanted to clear it with ya, though I wonder if I'm limiting her too much with that ability. XD
    That's because you were feeling bad earlier, and I wanted to wait until you were feeling a little better. ^^;;

    Now, can half-angels have healing abilities? My character...I have her in mind kind of like a cleric, but since she's half-human, she'll have her limitations.
    FUNimation's original plan was to have them all out in 2011, but there has been delays due to Geneon merging with Universal Japan. Currently, there is no release date except for an uncertain "Hopefully 2012". Apparently, they're also going to get Ocean Studios (who dubbed season 1) to dub them...considering my recent rewatch of season 1 included 5 seconds of the dub, not sure if I'm happy about that.
    I was just gonna remind you that I have class in an hour and a half. ^^; and I still want your opinion on something. XD
