| Dislike. MC should have got together with hot boss. She gets best character award for sure. |

| This series would be so much better if it had an actual ending. Such a shame. |
| Kind of an anticlimactic finale this but I suppose it was intentionally left to the viewers to interpret and make out their own side of the story. I, for one, would like to think this is a bittersweet conclusion with the two tragic lovebirds meeting once a year or so and deciding to try and move on from each other. But, then again, it's difficult to imagine that two will be able to fend off their feelings considering how things transpired over the last 2-3 episodes. Welp, I'd much prefer sticking with the former for scientific and moral reasons. Last episode's cliffhanger where it was implied the two had done the deed was honestly a little hard to take in. I didn't expect the series to take it that far but you could tell it was building up to it. Psychology of the series was the MVP for me, personally. Saeki-san, for the most bit, was immature in many ways but I could see some light on his mental anguish over this. Chidori-san's attempt at keeping a leash to this buildup was really sweet too but a little too late apparently. Whatever the case, I'm glad the two didn't decide to go for the easier suicide route but instead try and come to terms with it. All in all, it was a touching and bittersweet tale of a forbidden romance. Definitely was slightly awkward at times but sweet and thought-provoking at other times too. Soundtrack Department was the pick of the lot for me. Certainly did a wonderful job to enhance several moments throughout the show. Op is a peach to tune in to, as well. Animation Quality was undoubtedly lacking and the white mouths a little irksome initially but this is an old show so that's to be expected to a certain extent, I suppose. At least, the Cherry Blossoms scene delivered. As such, I'm going to stick with a solid 7/10 for this. |

| I agree with those above that say they'll probably meet up every spring which is kinda sad. GO ALL THE WAY!!!! Overall i enjoyed the anime: 8/10. |
| oh snap |
I made a very poor meme. I hope you guys like it. |
hah i plan to watch it next. Just finished Koi Kaze. Not expecting anything close tho. Last couple of episodes were so intense. Every rooftop, ocean, carnaval shot made me think "yup they (or one of them) are about to die" butt cheeks were clenched. |
| I appreciate the how mature the story telling was regarding the general themes of this anime and was quite entranced by the whole ordeal, but there are few things that were grating. The animation is definitely not good, even by 2004 standards. The seiyuu for the sister was terrible, no emotion whatsoever. Flat and monotonous throughout the whole thing. The Brother was just a shitty character in general and very unlikeable, regardless of how well a hopeless person with poor morals is portrayed. 7/10 overall I think. |
| My 1st completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 10/10 rating. |
| Some studio should pick up this anime for remake HD version. Its masterpiece. |

| I don't know how Nanoka fell in love with her brother. It is wierd that she did after his behavior toward her. I liked pacing and music (good OP and ED) and overall serious tone in this show but show didn't convince me how she fell with him. Maybe I need to rewatch some scenes idk. First half of the show seemed better. I support interpretation which is telling that their relationship won't last (or maybe it will be not good for them) as trees they wrote their names will be cut down. |

| When the mother said "both of you must have left home very early to arrive here at this time." I feel like it's a mother's feeling or instinct. I know that their mother doesn't know about what happened between them but it's like if we're hiding something, it feels like a mother's simple words or actions can lead to what we are hiding. Not to mention the small talk about Nanoka's album of memories from junior high and elementary school, that last sentence really... When they laugh and are happy together those are the moments where I wish they weren't siblings so they could show off their happiness and love openly to the public and most importantly to their parents. Since I'm a sucker for happy endings so I assumed that they would still meet and go about their days as usual but decided to go on a date there every spring. Maybe I'm thinking like they decided to "show" their relationship only every spring, in the first season they met and in the first place they "dated". I wanted to support them but half of me knew it was wrong. However I really enjoyed and liked this anime (which I didn't expect) so I just wish the best for both of them even though I know it's almost impossible for their relationship to have a happy ending.. especially the scene where Nanoka and Koushirou pray for the Ferris wheel to move but in fact it doesn't move (because it's impossible, the engine doesn't start and neither of them can start the engine) as a signal that no matter how hard they try in this relationship, it will never move anywhere.. because it is impossible for society to accept due to the fact they are siblings and neither one of them can change that fact. |

| Koi Kaze was one of bold and beautiful anime which can highly recommended to people seeking phychological and emotional anime with a blast of triggers sprinkled all over to take you on a surprising roller coaster ride. The anime had the best emotional sequences and interesting charcters, the anime made use of silence to soothe us and sometimes even trigeer us as well, those silent sequences reminded me of Mushishi's quiet moments as well, and that was the beauty of this anime. And the essential part of this anime was it's OST, Oh! it was so beautiful throughout the series it made sure to evoke the right kind of mood during the moments and the ED made sure would to calm me down after the gush of wind it would shove as part of the triggers. This anime is not only about taboo, it much more than that, and if you are open minded to feel the flow of the wind that this anime offers, then the wind is for you to get blown away! |

| Koi Kaze is what you call an anime with a very interesting premise, but a very bad presentation of its story, that it fails to make itself a masterpiece when it comes to anime romance, and I even consider it a meh anime. I found myself mostly bored with Koi Kaze due to the pacing. Each episode starting from episode 2 was just a drag due to its slow pace and non-progressing romance. Also, did we have to make the sister into this angelic person, who has no evil or malice in her heart? Did we really have to make her this way? AND WHY IN THE WORLD is there such a big-age-gap between the male MC and the female MC??!!! This aspect shaded the fact that this is an anime about wincest, but it now started to be more about an anime romance of two characters with a big-age-gap, and this is not what we signed up for. Like the person above my comment said = This anime would have been better if both the male MC and the female MC were adults, since then we wouldnt have the "predatory" vibes, and the anime would have focused solely on the wincest. And why did you make the male MC look like he can play football/rubgy, while in turn making the female MC look like she is just 10 years old, when she was 16?? Also, why did we have to wait for the final episodes for them to get together as a couple and then end the anime there? It would have been much more interesting and entertaining if they got together real early in the anime, and then go from there, with them being judged by their parents, and friends, and society. overall, Koi Kaze was an anime that had masterpiece potential, but due to its presentation, it ended being just a bland anime. Koi Kaze should have been 10-episodes and not 13 episodes, to speed up the pacing. |

| Ferris wheel is a perfect metaphor for their relationships. |

| I hate everyone equally |
| I'm not sure how I feel about this. Some heavy topic is explored here. I assume the foreshadowing of the amusement park being shut down and the trees cut down means their romance will come to an end. Somehow but for sure. Suicide? Separating? And these 13 episodes ended where the show started. The female side characters either know or have somewhat a strong intuition on what's happening. The mother surely sensed something. And Nanoka's friend was also wise enough not to pry into who the boyfriend is. They might feel happy now. But I have the feels that everything leads to a tragedy. |

| Extremely weak anime, with a very basic romance plot that is hardly different from the basic romance show of the season, if you take off the incest factor, there is barely nothing in this anime and I'm the kind of person who doesnt care incest, so this show does nothing for me. I was even going harder on trashing this show but apparently the age of consent in Japan is 16 years old so I cant judge it as pedophilia, I must respect the rules of every country and this relationship in Japan is totally legal in the sense of age, so the MC isnt doing anything bad or illegal, still that doesnt mean the age gap is a bit disturbing specially considering the MC looks like an Alpha Male(even for the Western standard) and the girl looks like a 10 years old, also the underwear smelling he did earlier in the show is totally disgusting, usually people only do that stuff in porns or when a bunch of highschoolers go to a friend house and use the panties as a hat for the trolling sake of it, doing that after you are 16+ makes you a creep or a pervert. The cast is very mediocre, the music is less than average and the animation is just bad. Nothing more to say, this will be a 1/10 if age of consent in Japan were 18+. |
| How did people watch this show if they keep saying that Nanoka is 15? She was 15 at the start of the show and shortly after had her 16th birthday. It is spring during episodes 12 and 13 (like it was in episode 1), so she's almost 17. You can disapprove of the age gap without throwing words like "pedophilia" and "statutory rape" where they do not apply. |

| All this serious discussion and I'm just sitting here marveling at Koshiro nonchalantly drinking a cup of mud. That is the most disturbing scene in this show. |

| I'm conflicted, and it's expected with this kind of series. I honestly don't like Koushirou here, he himself is not stable in many ways but he still proceeds on doing it with her sister who is obviously doesn't know a lot of things yet, so yeah I don't like it. The age gap, man I can't with that kind of far age gap, just doesn't feels right. Those are the things that me feel bad, it's just I hope they did it when both of them are already stable in life, can't accept when one of them is still in school. I also feel happy for some part, like them having fun and showing love to each other even though they know the society won't accept it, just kind of nice to look at. Also surprised about the committing suicide, didn't expect that she would do that kind of extreme thing as long she is with her brother. For the show itself, I like it. This is one of those series that made me think a lot of things, especially this is an age gap and incest series, can't help but pause many times to think what's right and what's wrong. It's bad, it's fun, and it's sad. Just hope the characters didn't regret their choices, because that's what matters a lot. And for another time, I don't side with what the characters did here, because I hate it. |

| Oh my god what happen aaaaaaaaa. A lot of people commented that the ending is open for interpretation and I think that their secret will be found out someday. I actually thought that they're gonna commit suicide together or Koshiro will leave Nanoka for good. Nanoka is still young. She will meet a lot of people and will have more fun with friends. |

| An ostensibly high quality anime. Characters were all okay and served their purpose, it's competently written to a degree where no scene feels wasted or purposeless, and it doesn't betray its central theme or pull a bullshit reveal that the siblings aren't related (something many authors fail to do with this particular subject). The visuals are very dated, even for it's time. If it wasn't for the fact that it uses digital animation, you'd almost think it was five or six years older than it actually is. I also believe that the mournful atmosphere sometimes felt heavy-handed, primarily due to Koushiro being the main catalyst for its dreary presentation. Because of this, it makes it difficult to believe he could develop his romance with Nanoka as quickly as he did. In short, I felt he was too pessimistic, to the point where dramatic scenes weren't as impactful as they could've been because Souchirou's usual state is that of woe even before any drama occurs. If he was nominally happier inbetween these scenes, they'd likely hit harder. Soundtrack was serviceable and fits most scenes adequately, while blending into the background at the perfect volume. Koi Kaze does most things well, and with better visuals and a minor adjustment to the main character, would be fantastic. Maybe it already is. |
