Kaze no Stigma Episode 19 - Pandemonium A meeting is being held at the Kannagi residence, unaware of Ren’s disappearance which happened right about that time. Kazuma arrives late and Ayano insults him for the blunder he did (letting ‘Hell Hound’ get away), which Kazuma surprisingly accepts without much complaints. The Special Investigation Unit is currently dealing with the rise of people having supernatural powers lately (involved in some kind of ‘game’). Kirika explains that the target victims are middle school to high school students, who are endowed with promiscuous powers upon reaching the site known as ‘Pandemonium’.

This week finally gives us Kazuma’s past, with particular emphasis on his relationship with Cui Ling / Rin’s. The Pandemonium issue also complicates itself, as some players have been upgraded into stronger fighters. So now we have renegade (and not particularly intelligent, IMO) amateur wizards running around wrecking havoc. Kazuma, taunted by the presence of Lapis [...]

Kaze no Stigma Episode 18 - Tokyo RPG From where the previous episode left off, Kazuma sees a girl with a striking resemblance to Tsuoi Rin, making him once again remember the tragic incident that happened in his past. He runs after the girl but loses track of her, at the same time allowing the criminal from earlier escape.

Kaze no Stigma Episode 17 - The Way to Defeat a Magician Images of a computer screen with the message “Do you long for power?” have been shown at the start and throughout this episode, showing how it has a central role in this arc, but that will still have to be revealed in the later episodes.

[ Episode 16: Father and Son ] This episode was absolutely hilarious. It focused mainly on Kazuma and Genma fighting each other at every opportunity that allowed them to. I felt sorry for the owners of the hotel a bit though. Those two fighting caused so much damage though I guess the Kannagi family will pay [...]

[ Episode 15: Katherine Returns ] Katherine is so awesome. She would’ve won the fight against Ayano if she didn’t get too relaxed. Oh well, at least she isn’t returning to America from what she said in this episode. Her being around adds some spice to the series and some much needed rival tension between her [...]

Last week, Ren was kidnapped by some evil Big Boss, who is also the lord of Pandemonium. How is he faring? Is he going to show some of the fire (pun intended) and ferocity he displayed last week? Or is he going “nii-sama!” at every available juncture? Similarly, we are also finally seeing Kirika in [...]

We start out watching Kousuke Utsumi taking a bunch of low angle shots of the tennis team. Eventually, Nanase busts his expensive Pantax camera, and this inspires the tennis team to stand up to the little pervert, and start beating him (one girl has a bat, wtf?!). Unfortunately, Utsumi only ends up getting [...]

*ding-dong* Sort of off-topic: I’ve thinking of writing Zombie Loan for the past few weeks… but somehow I just didn’t do it. ~_~ Maybe because I’m exhausted most of the week. Maybe because summarizing Zombie Loan will take more effort than I am willing to spare. The question here is this: if I drop the screenshots and [...]

The Real Ayano x Kazuma (fight aftermath) moment~ <33 (A semi retelling of the real father and son story in the novel~ and for some reason... I had this urge to translate the conversations~ for not wanting any details to be lost? XD) The son who considers his father the “worst father”, and the father who regards his son as a “pathetic son”… one sudden meeting at the Kannagi house was all it took for these two individuals to once again clash and head on for battle. Yes, you heard me right… they fought in the Kannagi residence, not in some onsen where fanservice abounds, together with additional characters and intrigue (Catherine, Kirika) added into the mess.

Kaze no Stigma Episode 16 – Father and Son Many people have been wondering what has happened to Genma ever since he’s been hospitalized… well, he finally got out and decided to take a break and relax in the onsen. He coincidentally goes with Kirika, for reasons not really disclosed. Soushu who wasn’t aware of Genma’s onsen plans schemes yet another plot to get Ayano and Kazuma together, imagining their vivid and steamy ‘love scene’ as well. Yukari and Nanase together with Ren gets dragged into this plan, which he thought will be fool-proof. That is, until he finds out that it might end up being a father and son clash, as Genma will be going to the same onsen as well.

Wow Ren, you look kinda cool! With a title like that, how can I not blog it? So, continuing on from the last episode,it appears that some site on the internet has been randomly luring people in to contracts with youma, giving them special powers and setting them up on a widescale Tokyo FFA RPG [...]

Juugo sets up the kids with a free trip to the Marunage Hot Springs, telling Yukari to lie and say she won the trip on a TV quiz show. Naturally, Juugo is hoping that Kazuma will sleep with Ayano. Unfortunately, it seems that Genma and Kirika are working together on a mission, and [...]

“Do you want power?” What sane person would say no? So. They choose “Yes”. This is what happens when they choose that in the world of Kaze no Stigma. This week also presents an intriguing insight to Kazuma. His shocked face and dazed, wide eyes seem to say something. Why does he look so shocked? Is it finally something [...]

This week sees Ayano, Kazuma and Genma (to a few) in brief, swimsuits and/or scanty towels. This week also sees a conflict (or three) between Kazuma and Genma, prompting the title “Father and Son”. Let’s just say that if you think that Kyoya Ootori and his father (Ouran) are dysfunctional, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

[ Episode 14: Ayano-chan’s Further Disasters ] Ayano was the hawtness in this episode. She was dressed rather elegantly which is a welcomed departure from her school uniform which she has worn from since…the first episode. Anyways, this episode introduces a new character and a favorite of mine: Katherine. She’s just so awesome and possesses that [...]

[ Episode 13: Let’s Go To the Amusement Park! ] An all-around fun episode at the…amusement park! The focus here was pretty much Kazuma and Ayano’s date. Yup. The entire mission thing was a hoax just to get those two together. There were some very funny moments. Like when Ayano destroyed a pervert and two overly [...]

[ Episode 12: Confession Under the Moon ] So Kureha and Kazuma were similar at one point in time. That is, not having the talents of the family they were born into. It was nice to see she gained her natural powers after losing the behemoth’s but still pretty sad that she died trying to fight [...]
