Ok, I'm not going to describe every part of the anime in individual paragraphs... I'm just going to give to you in one.
For starters, I give Kaze no Stigma an overall score of 5/10
The beginning story was great. It drew me in right away. However, soon after the beginning, it totally lost my interest. After about the first 5 episodes (give or take...) I only watched it hoping that I would get to see some good fighting action. The story could have been sooo much better! I did, however, love the anime's version of magic. ((because every anime's magic is a little different)) BUT, I
...
was sooo confused about the two main characters! Ok, I totally got that they liked eachother and everything, but it was sooo lame! NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if someone watched this and didn't understand that Kazuma and Ayano were supposed to be love interests. I didn't like Ayano at all and I barely like Ren. Kazuma was probably the only character I really liked.
Ok, I know I've been saying how awful this anime is, but there were, admittably, some good things about it. The art was pretty good, except there was some pretty stupid 'fan service' that was slipped in there every once in a while. For me, 'fan service' isn't horrible in every anime, but I definitally don't love it. I think the reason it annoyed me in this anime was because it just didn't fit into the flow of Kaze no Stigma. This is probably the only thing in this anime that I truley liked: the action. There wasn't much of it, which was really dissapointing, but when there was action, it was awesome. The drawing of Kazuma's wind and Ayano's fire was really good, which made the fighting scenes all the better.
I might recommend this to people, but I would warn them of things I thought weren't all that great first.
RECOMMENDATION: I didn't watch the subbed version, I watched the dubbed version. Therefore, I don't know how good the subbed version is, but the dubbed version is TERRIBLE. The only good voice is Kazuma's and Ayano's is really bad... really really bad. So, even though I haven't seen it, I RECOMMEND THE SUBBED VERSION.
Hope the review helps. :)
