A creative and quite well made series, Kaze no Stigma is about a story of a young man who tries to escape his past but is forced to face it again when unfortunate deaths start to occur and he is the prime suspect. Kaze no Stigma has its own light novel in Japan and the anime series runs for 24 episodes. Overall quite a nice series, not a lot of blood or violence but still has a decent amount of action. Filled with both emotion and humor Kaze no Stigma is a nice little series that we enjoyed. Kazuma using his wind powers
Animation
Quite nicely done, the animation in Kaze no Stigma is above average. The animation of certain elements, mainly fire and wind, makes battle scenes interesting. Along with the nice animation comes along a long line of fantasy related themes. There are many fantasy based things throughout the series such as fairies and powers that you would not normally see in other series. But we were a bit disappointed about how many of these things are not elaborated on in the anime and many things are left in the open for the viewers interpretation. A fairy talking to Kazuma
Characters
Nothing too special but the characters each do have their own little flair. The anime does go into the character's pasts quite a bit and builds up suspense in Kazuma's case. Their is a wonderful variety of colorful characters in the series but many of them are left out after one appearance and are never seen again. But the main characters do have visible development in the series and many bonds are formed. We were impressed with each of the character's growth near the end of the series which we will not go into detail about but we did enjoy Main Characters of the Anime this aspect of the anime.
Plot
Well the plot is short and sweet thats about the only way that we can really describe it. The plot is kinda original but with the idea of demons and mages using elements to fight them is kinda overused in other series.
Soundtrack
Hmmmm.... none to speak of
Overall
Despite all of our criticisms, Kaze no Stigma is not that bad, it needs to be tweaked a little but the last few episodes were wonderfully made. Kaze no Stigma is worth your time to watch.
