About Shakugan no Shana
Yuji Sakai learns he is a Torch and names the Flame Haze guarding him Shana.
J.C.Staff adapted the run across three TV seasons with a recap film and side-story OVAs in between.
Good to know
The 2007 film retells early season one with new animation, so it is optional on a first viewing. The S OVAs from 2009 to 2010 are side stories best watched between seasons two and three.
