As for the Shana S1 and S2 BDs… we’ve decided to cancel them for now due to the horrible detail-destroying upscaling that was used in the mastering process.
Will complete season 3 as a BD project.
HD: [Doki] Shakugan no Shana III (Final) – 01 (1280×720 h264 AAC) [EB8F5FF8].mkv
SD: [Doki] Shakugan no Shana III (Final) – 01 (848×480 h264 AAC) [EFBF5BE6].mkv
Reserved for Jecht to “first”.
Thanks, I’m loving this!!!
PS: Fate/Zero coming soon?
F/Z has been cancelled.
No chance of borrowed subs BD in the future?
Holo doesn’t have time.
Zdm… prob doesn’t have time.
And Dys… prob doesn’t have time.
And I don’t like fate.

Say what!!!!!
How can you NOT like Fate!!!!!!!!
*Syntax error, cannot comprehend*
Ixlone, You sir are missing out on a masterpiece.
I recommend that you reconsider and give Fate another chance.
Anyways,Thank you for heads-up staff.Saved me a lot of waiting time. Downloading UTW’s version as we speak.
well….it needs a lot of “effort” to work on 47 minutes show…. :/
“Does not like Fate”……………….I’m sorry I…what in….I don’t…HUH!?…but……..WHAT!?…….does not compute…..*breaks down from being unable to process statement*.
as long as i can get mai RKB BDs 😛
We’re not doing Fate/Zero
UTW is doing Fate/Zero and they have nice subs with pretty fast releases. Unless you’re really picky about subgroups, you shouldn’t have a problem with them.
UTW just released episode 2, so you can check it out if you want. PS: I am not trying to get people attention on only UTW, for I myself support many sub groups, and currently UTW is using 10-bits for Fate/Zero.

I was gonna go with UTW’s release anyway. As much as I like Doki, I liked UTW’s version of the UBW movie better. No offense.
Oh I have to see the 1st & 2nd seasons before I can see the 3rd season. Well, it have to wait another year or two.
Anyway thanks!
Wow, the final episode already. That was quick.
o_O
┐( ̄ー ̄)┌
Yes. We have a direct line to the animation team and have already gotten all the eps. Enjoy.
Paw, wasn’t this anime the one with the new sort of structure that it started backwards from episode 24 Final and then 23, 22 etc.? Or am I wrong?
You know something like the team in Haruhi did with Endless 8 what is it called? Uniqueness maybe?
Huh? That makes no sense.
Not sure if trolling… o_O
Er, no. The (Final) is basically part of the title of this season.
While I can understand the reasoning behind the BD cancellation, aren’t the best version of S1 atm rather bad TV rips though? S2 is fine as is at least.
DVDs are the best option for S1. They might be SD, but at least they have all of the details missing from the BDs.
Ah, I wasn’t aware there were DVDs. If they use Eclipse’s subs, I’ll go look for them; thanks for answering.
I also have 1 unrelated question if you don’t mind: What’s the ETA on Mashiro-iro?
Thanks, have a good one~
The DVDs came out 5 years ago in America, you can find the Exiled Destiny and Eclipse release on Bakabt if you need a place to download.
Thxs for the release. And damnit nooooooooooooooooo @ Shana BDs. Hopefully itll be picked back up later.
ah was rly looking forward to the BDs to rewatch the series..
o btw you said you cancel them “for now” so will you do them in the future someday? O_o
Maybe if they re-release the BDs using Toradora’s upscale method (which looks pretty good left is DVD, right is BD).
Ugh, just barely made it through the first season, dropped the second one after a few episodes… Sorry, not even trying to watch this thing.
NOEZZZZ!!! NO SHANA BDs… Imma cry now xD
i cried when i saw the BD screenshot T_T
is this 10bit?
Nope, 8bit.
Doki marks their releases quite clearly. This is h.264 HiP(8bit)which they simply mark as h.264. 10bit will always say Hi10P on the file right next to AAC/FLAC.
Just as a side-note I’m quite glad Doki is clear with their labeling. Other groups right now don’t bother labeling their releases as Hi10P.
Fuck Yeah! Awesome as always Doki! Thanks!
aww wanted to rewatch the bd’s to refresh my memory been a year since i watched the 2 seasons. well good thing i have the dvd release of eclipse subs archived 🙂
Anyway thankyou for this episode, watched it streamed the day before last but nice to have it in better quality anyway, not really a Shana fan but after watching the first and second seasons its nice to finish a story off in all 😛
I am watching S1 and S2 before the next episode already.
Hey guys! Thanks for the release! Commie’s just didn’t cut it for me. Is a Saturday release going to be the norm for the weekly episode releases? Just so I can jot it on my calender. 🙂
Also , your BD comment made me a little concerned. I was going to buy the S1/S2 retail BDs because I love Shana sooooo much! Just wondering if it was worth my time to make the purchase cause North American retail prices suck >.<. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for the release!
As there is no Blu Ray release outside of Japan, and said Blu Rays are like $360+ Dollars in Japan, you’re better off just saving your money and downloading the DVD episodes.
Bakabt have Shana Season 1 back on their torrent area as Funimation dropped the license, I think as far as Season 1 goes Shana is dead in America. Season 2 onwards is another story altogether though lol
Ahhhh I see. Well I must have seen just the DVDs in my local anime outlet. The artbox design is really beautiful… but I’m a nut for precision in my subtitles. I usually am a little more lenient with retail scripts. I have Eclipse’s subs of S1 and S2. Although my S1 quality seems to be majorly lacking… I think I may just have to go with retail.
Thanks for squashing my BD dreams! 😛
Thanks for the insight.
LOL anyway make sure to look around to get the best price for Shana on DVD, ages back I managed to pick up the single volumes for 99p each new from MVM in the UK, needless to say I was happy.
The BD’s are terrible quality, do not waste your money on them.
You’d think JC Staff would make more of an effort considering they’re charging extortionate prices for the boxsets. It shows a complete lack of respect for the fans to charge like $360 per boxset and do absolutely nothing to make it look good.
they like to rape ur pocket (¬_¬)
Lol, still you’d have to be pretty rich to afford a boxset like that anyway, I don’t think I’ve had that kind of money spare in ages and certainly wouldn’t speand on an anime boxset if I did :3
your eyes will bleedin’
trust me (¬_¬)
The hope is to have them out quicker as we get into the rhythm with the new season.
what will i choose? doki or eclipse-static sub?hmm…
I think this is the season where Shana marries Yuuji and they move in with Alastor to all live together in the broach which from now on will be worn by Yuuji’s school girlfriend. Hilarity ensues. Am I right? I just have a gift for these things.
Yes. It’s called “Too Crose for Comfort.”
wow…right to the point ( ゚∀゚)o彡
maybe 99% yes…. She will *cough* marrying me *cough*
Ok.. Time to delay something
This is almost redundant since SS-Eclipse is doing it as well….except they’re doing Hi10P for the 720P HD and Xvid for the SD. Nice to have four encode options.
Thanks for the release!
there’s no such a thing like redundant whenever we talk about Shana-Shana and Rie-Rie
( ゚∀゚)アハハ八八ノヽノヽノヽノ \ / \/ \
Yes. Because groups only sub what people want them to sub, and not what they want to sub themselves.
They do it because they want to and because it’s fun. None of the members here care if SS-Eclipse is doing it as well, and none at SS-Eclipse care that Doki’s doing it.
Not to mention the last two times Eclipse revived to finish to do a project they left said projects incomplete.
@odinigh
Well said, couldn’t of put it better myself.
I have waited so long! Finally SIII. 😀
I am terrible at speaking and worse with typing but I must try to thank you for releasing. Thanks!!!(in retrospect if i am using the word correctly, I believe this is just a repeat of a common post which I have memorized and started using as a template in order to avoid questioning)
Doki VS SS-Eclipse! who will win the holy grail?! \(*0*)/
former funsub group that know Shana more then anyone else and use 10 bit?!
Or doki who only start sub it this year and not using 10 bit!
The decision will be belong to the audience and audience only \(*0*)/ Fightooo!~
don’t get me wrong lol i love both groups xD i just think it be funny to describe it like that xD
also i love 10 bit, but i hate the dam fact that it not detected on other players and not let me edit my animes (love to edit in blood@!)until i turn the “Use custom media type for H264” to On ,.. and then i can’t play MP4 and quick time files till i turn this thing off -.-
that my only problem with that shitty 10 bit so far.. and that why i start to hate it as well : (
Too bad about the S1 and S2 BDs i would have payed for those guess i will go back and watch the grainy SS-ECPLIPSE ones but on happy note thanks for the relese of season 3
File size is quite big… Try reduce the file size.. Normally I downloaded the HD version the size is just about 200MB-300MB.. But this, over 600MB??
Blame the action scene in the beginning and the OP sequence. The first 5 minutes of the video alone takes up 210MB (about 1/3rd of the file size).
So, the next episode size will be the same?? According to myanimelist this show will have 24 episode total.. So if the size will remain the same for the whole episode it will end up 14GB file size total..
I doubt every episode is going to have such bitrate-intensive action scenes.
sup!
shut up!
Y U MAD?
