Why's there no usual Kadokawa disclosure at the end of the article? Confused

About 17 years since i first hear Hishoku no Sora and it still one of my favorite OP all-time.
If it's based on Shakugan no Shana, I'd take any type of continuation or spin-off in any form, this LN was truly an era-maker.

So what is this exactly? A reimagining?

It is just another side-story collection.

It would be nice if new Shakugan no Shana anime happened...

Reboot, or sequel, whatever, doesn't matter, I was never really a fan of this series anyway, but I would like to see Rie Kugimiya reprising one of her the most iconic roles.

I remember this one i did finish the first and second season (but need to rewatch it) but on the 3rd season I dropped because of some kind of time skip I guess and what put me off is Yuuji became an adult that didn't explain at all in the 3rd season Overall, it just confused me of how the story went through or the chronology of it

I kinda want to learn Japanese just to read the Light Novelz, seems a lot have been left out in the anime, and there is lots of side stories.

There was almost no time skip. Yuji looks different because of contract he made with Seirei no Hebi and also you know... many years later some changes in design were made. The thing is seasons 1 and 2 didn't follow light novel closely and added their original endings also skipping a lot of foreshadowing for what is to come. Beginning of season 3 may be confusing for those who didn't read LN or are not aware what was changed. We get some explanation at the beginning but it still may be hard to understand.

In the Light Novel Yuji started talking to Seirei no Hebi in his dreams right after school festival (where Pheles arrived and Reiji Maigo inside Yuji was "Opened"). He slowly came to realization that he may have the way to end the war once for all by bringing back leader of enemy faction - God of Creation Seirei no Hebi. If it was good or bad decision we get to see in season 3.

Aaaand I did this again... it's all coming back after all those years. Sorry I'm just crazy Shana fan getting re-awakened from slumber Wink

New adaptation and a new translation! Please make it happen, it's been so long since anime has been as good as when it was, when Shana was airing.

Had a feeling something was up with the franchise when a new Shana figure was solicited.

Im just sad that the chances of this series being published in English after the disaster that was TokyoPop is pretty much 0.

Why is VIZ Media of all things describing this description when they don't even have license to it anymore?

Makes me wonder why J-novel hasn't license this, along with The Familiar of Zero and Grimoire of Zero? They're pretty much gold mine/golden egg.
