Kaze no Stigma (Stigma of the Wind)

Too much homework, projects, and work? Not getting enough out of your daily dose of action, suspense, and of course good ol’ anime fan service? Gonzo (the animators), Takahiro Yamato (the writer), and Hanamaru Nanto (the artist) brings you Kaze no Stigma to suck all of that damn dullness out of your life and shove down a package of kick-ass fight scenes and beautiful short-skirted women. What can I say? Blood and Sex sells XD

I could start by narrating the whole plot and love affairs going on in this series but you can get that anywhere so I’ll get straight to the point—is it any good? (www.wikipedia.org - it's actually a good place to find summaries, plots, character and episode info on anime series' and mangas.

Cons:

There really is not much of a storyline

The leading lady who is supposed to be cute, pretty, and hands-down desirable is…not

The series starts to focus on how the Kannagi headmaster tries to get Ayano and Kazuma together after five episodes or so meaning, less blood.

Pros:

The protagonist of the series, Kazuma, is probably the most bad-ass character you’ve ever seen not to mention he’s greedy and self-centered. He’s a very entertaining character to watch; on the count of he’s eeeeeevil! On the flip side, he is very mature.

The color is vibrant and lively--art is great, which of course also means the women are gorgeous.

The action is great but sadly it gets a bit dull as the series progress.

Extra Info

The love team, Ayano x Kazuma, are cousins. (Not illegal in Japan…)

My Opinion:

A pretty solid series but the only thing going for it was its action but the slope of merciless killings and mind-blowing fight scenes dramatically declined as the story progressed. The relationship of the love team also really takes its time to blossom so fillers aren’t that interesting. In conclusion, if you’re looking for some evil action, watch the first few episodes and then look for something else.
