Line #21 Trivia/ShakuganNoShana


1	* ActorAllusion: In the Funimation dub, Shana is voiced by Creator/CheramiLeigh, who voiced another {{Tsundere}} literal FieryRedhead with a sword in ''Literature/KazeNoStigma''.
2	* ChildrenVoicingChildren: Aiden Drummond was the initial voice for Sorath.
3	* DuelingShows: With ''Literature/KazeNoStigma'', which eventually fell short, not only due to its author's death. Likely as an ActorAllusion, Shana's voice for the Funimation dubbed material is Creator/CheramiLeigh, who voices ''Stigma'''s Ayano, another [[FieryRedhead redheaded]], [[PlayingWithFire fire wielding]], [[HeroesPreferSwords sword wielding]] {{Tsundere}}.
4	* FountainOfExpies: Shana's popularity inspired many other characters in Japanese light novels over the years, creating a whole host of [[TinyTyrannicalGirl short]], [[ACupAngst flat-chested]], [[BelligerentSexualTension romantically abusive]] [[{{Tsundere}} tsunderes]]. Several of them, like [[Literature/{{Toradora}} Taiga]], [[Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero Louise]] and [[Literature/AriaTheScarletAmmo Aria]], went to be [[PigeonholedVoiceActor voiced by]] Creator/RieKugimiya too in their respective anime adaptations, occasionally with an ActorAllusion thrown in (such as Shana's CatchPhrase "[[RapidFireShutUp Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!]]").
5	* GenrePopularizer: ''Shakugan no Shana'' was one of the first LightNovels to receive an official English-language localization. Despite Creator/VizMedia only translating the first two volumes and [[NoExportForYou the rest of the series still being unavailable in North America]], its popularity as such broke the dam for an explosion of them getting exported to Western markets in the late 2000s and 2010s, where previously only anime and maybe manga adaptations of light novels were available outside of Japan.
6	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes:
7	** While Creator/VizMedia was able to license an English translation of the original novels in the late 2000s, they only ever released the first two volumes, which have long since gone out of print.
8	** Creator/FUNimation's release of season 1 does not include the OVA that was available on the 2009 Geneon box set.
9	* NoExportForYou: Creator/VizMedia briefly held the English license for the light novels, but they only ever translated the first two volumes in 2007; the rest of the novels have yet to be made available outside of Japan.
10	* TheOtherDarrin:
11	** The entire English voice cast was replaced for season 2 and beyond with Dallas-based voice actors, since Creator/FUNimation chose not to have the series recorded in Vancouver due to a [[DevelopmentHell two-year long]] [[ScheduleSlip delay]] resulting from the Geneon[=/=]Universal [[ExecutiveMeddling merger red tape]]. For example, Yuji Sakai and Shana, respectively voiced in the original dub by Kristian Ayre and Creator/TabithaStGermain, are now voiced by Creator/JoshGrelle and Creator/CheramiLeigh.
12	** Even the Japanese cast was subject to this. In the Drama CD that was released in 2004, Shana was voiced by Creator/YuiHorie, Yuji Sakai by Creator/MasakazuMorita, Alastor by Creator/AkioOtsuka, Kazumi Yoshida by Akemi Sato, Chigusa Sakai by Creator/YukoMinaguchi, Friagne by Creator/MasayaMatsukaze, Nina by Creator/MasumiAsano[[note]]She would voice Yukari Hirai in the anime adaptation[[/note]], and Hayato Ike by Takayuki Sasada.
13	* RealLifeRelative:
14	** Ike and Keisaku's Japanese voice actors are brothers.
15	** In the first season's English dub, Alastor is voiced by Creator/PaulDobson. His younger brother, Creator/MichaelDobson, voices Dantalion.
16	** Also from the first season, Creator/AidenDrummond, voice of Sorath is the son of Merihim/Shiro’s voice actor Creator/BrianDrummond.
17	* StudioHop:
18	** The first 16 light novels were originally published by Kadokawa's [=MediaWorks=] division from November 2002 to November 2007. In April 2008, [=MediaWorks=] merged with ASCII Corporation to become ASCII [=MediaWorks=] and ''Shakugan no Shana'' stayed there until the 22nd and final light novel was published in October 2011.
19	** The anime's distribution rights in Japan are currently owned by Creator/NBCUniversal due to their purchase of [[Creator/NBCUniversalEntertainmentJapan Geneon]] from Dentsu in 2008.
20	** The North American releases were initially handled by Creator/GeneonEntertainment USA before switching to Creator/{{Funimation}}.
