Summary: Sakai Yuuji, a high school student who expected his normal life to last forever, is dead. When he was on his way home he witnessed a shocking view as the world suddenly froze: people were engulfed by blue flames and a monster resembling a large doll swallowed them. Just as the monster prepared to consume Yuuji, a sword-wielding girl in black attire with flaming red eyes and hair that burns like embers saved him from the monster. The girl called herself a "Flame Haze" who hunts the "Guze no Tomogara", creatures from another world. As Yuuji noticed a blue flame in his chest, she called him a "Torch", a temporary replacement, saying that the "real" Yuuji's existence had already ended. Unfazed, Yuuji befriended the strange girl, named her "Shana", and joined her fight against Tomogara and other Flame Hazes.

There are few stories that will keep me fully interested.. however I realized by episode 12 I was loving every moment of this series.

In short its epic... not in a dynamic sense but in a fundemental and sincere sense The Story is one that others have touched on before but deliveres it very new.. Ironically I found it a bit like soul eater.. even gives off simular vibes.. however just like that one.. its so original in its delivery which doesnt make sense. Its things we always hear about in Japanes anime... however its so detailed so fresh that its tottally new. The story takes a new phaze and untel around episode 3 you cant even really simpithize with the main heroine.. the turn around behind this is brilliantly developed on. It may seem slow at first but developes a story that is strong, fresh and oddly inthralling.

The Dialogue is brilliant. Every character seems to have a one set voice.. or what I like to call character voices. Unlike other anime that choose voices for a particular prowess it seams this one was chosen to tipify a specific type of voice. So almost imidiatly you can find the right emotion behind every character and indeed gain insights to a character before they really develope into them. further more is makes it really easy to understand modivations even when watching it in subs. Its masterful.

The Animation is a bit difficult to describe. In short is Wonderful. The powers and flames of each character are notably awesome.. as is indeed the facial expressions. I can honestly say even in the comedic parts they dont get lazy at all. Its quite nice. I dont hate on shows that like to go cartoonish to create an effect of comidy but its nice not to get disrupted from the flow of the show. I also like how the animation itself has a character.. its like the Old Animated Batman. the Animation is alive... each giving a cast to the situation. In the later episodes I didnt like the forboding backdrawn dark castle atmosphere but again it delivered the paranoia of the cloak ticking down on a suspensful situation.

The Entertainment is awesome. It is a bit differnt to see a guy sit back while a female is the main "warrior" but its done wonderfuly while the main character or indeed most characters are not totally reduced to "cheering" from the sides. Indeed I find how they practically dont forget any character at all is amasing. The show is catchy and will pull you to it. If you love comedy, slice of life, a slow building romance set, and Action.. this show literally has it all. Its a bit hard to follow at first but once you grasp the world of the setting everything seems to go better and just steam roll into epic.

I recomend as one of the best Animations.
