Okay, this here is one of my favorite "average" series.

It doesn't do ANYTHING out of the ordinary, except have enough special factors that give it that "omph" required to makes it addicting... as hell.

I rather liked the romance in this story too, and Robert's take on Kazuma is one of his best works. This one also made me start to like Cherami too.

Kaze aside, now it looks like I can finish Dragonaut.

Well it started getting much more interesting towards the end when they looked into the past of the characters. But yeah, this anime is nothing extraordinary.

My opinion of Kaze no Stigma: avoid if you can. Annoying protagonist. (his personality just got on my nerves). You do start to see a bit more dimension in his character as they delve into his past, but the series just ends without further development or resolution of any kind. I mean it just suddenly stops.

Nice to see this serie uploaded on ANN, But I finished watching this on Hulu. I would've like to see a second season, but sadly the creator of the light novel passed away and there's probably no chance of seeing a second season of this anime. Crying or Very sad

Oh boy, I remember watching half of Nurse Witch Kumogi in my anime club and it was just awful. Certainly don't want to see that again, think I'll stick to the other streaming stuff.

It wasn't that bad to me, I just watch it for humor purpose. Yeah I will agree that some of the storyline was just mediocre. But it does have it's moment.

Wasn't meant to have a real storyline. Its a fun, messed up spin-off of SoulTaker which is violent and serious.

I'll second that - this series has an odd charm to it. There's a few standout music tracks, some fun character chemistry, and a handful of cool dramatic moments, but nothing that really accounts for how much I liked it (against the weight of what's bad, mediocre, and clichéd).

One major thing... like Kazuma, it's disarmingly irreverent.

I'll echo the sentiments in this thread by saying Kaze no Stigma is probably the best average show I've seen. There is absolutely nothing special about it (Kazuma is pretty awesome, though), but I can't help but go, "That was a pretty OK show" every time it's brought up.

Heyo,

Not sure if I should be writing this here or not (if not just let me know where), but currently the third dubbed episode of Kaze no Stigma is not available. Meaning, it simply does not exist, as there is nothing to click on. 1, 2 and 4 exist and work just fine though. All the subbed episodes are there and episode 3 does work though.
