So, there's this new anime that started last week, Shakugan no Shana, that I've been checking out, and it seems kinda neat. It seems to have a kinda Bleach/YuuYuu Hakusho feel, with the whole "otherworldly warrior and dead people" kinda thing. But the art is really, really pretty. ^_^* Basically, the plot is that our hero, Yuuji, ends up in the middle of an attack by the "Guze no Tomogara", who come to earth and eat people's souls, then replace the souls with things called "torches", so that no one's the wiser. Then, eventually, the people eaten literally fade out of existence, to the point that no one remembers them ever being around, except for Yuuji, who's all "WTF, there's people disappearing all over the place!" So far, two episodes have aired in Japan, and one group has subtitled the first episode, though not very well (one of their translation errors is going to come back and bite them in the ass in the second episode x__x). If no one else comes out with anything better, I may have to get off my ass and pester IY-F about doing it, since I'm masochistic like that and miss the good ol' days when I translated IY for them. ^_^* The only problem is that the opening and ending songs don't have their lyrics subtitled, and I'm horrible at deciphering song lyrics even in English. x__x

Awesome! I've been looking for something new to see and this sounds interesting, especially because I love Bleach and if it's anything along those lines, it should be good. I'll have to check this one out. Don't worry about music lyrics Patches...I can hardley ever decipher them even in English either.

Okay, another group has released it now, and their translation is decidedly better. Awkward in some places, mostly due to odd word choice, but at least not outright wrong like the other group's. So, woo, looks like I won't have to descend back into masochism and translate the series myself, unless IY-F comes pestering me about it. XD You can get torrents for the first episode here. Eclipse is the good one, EP is the bad one. If even more groups come out with it, I'll check those out, too, so I have a good judgement of whose to follow for the rest of the series. Something tells me I'm going to be seeing the first episode a half dozen times at least. XD
