Kaze no Stigma started out as a moderately promising show, but it went down the crapper after episode 7. The main character Kazuma is pretty much the only reason to watch this show, although Ayano has her moments every 5 episodes or so. I had really hoped that this show would focus on [...]
We get a flashback of when Vernhardt used Tsuo Rin to summon a demon, and she got tentacled to death right in front of Kazuma. Back in the present, Pandemonium is lighting up, and is filled with tons of yellow crystals. It turns out that the whole RPG plot was Almagest’s plan to [...]
Genma offers to go kill Kazuma and Pandemonium, but after being reminded of how he got his ass handed to him last time, he lets Ren and Ayano try instead. The scrubs all end up turning into yoma at midnight, and after Kazuma shreds them to pieces, the gory bits all converge on Pandemonium. [...]
Kazuma follows Nanase and Utsumi, to find Pandemonium in Central Park. Kazuma is following an eBay form of attack, where Kazuma will wait until Vernhardt thinks he has won a bid on a cheap boxset of Madlax before sniping the bid at the last second. Then Kazuma plans to destroy Pandemonium and kill [...]
Lots of Class 2 (SEED) duels are popping up, and Kazuma uses them as handy locations for interrogation. Although his methods are quite harsh, Kazuma is unable to learn anything other than that Utsumi has become a Class 3 Rune Master specializing in curses. Kazuma takes out Nanase’s bodyguards, Katherine and Izumi, and [...]
Vernhardt mentions that Lapis’ class is Sword Master, and she uses a giant angelic projection to cleave the tower in two. The bad guys escape and recreate Pandemonium, allowing a handful of scrubs to get a class change. While Kirika gives the Kannagi clan a second-hand account of Kazuma’s past, Kazuma sits on [...]
Kazuma remembers that the Tsuo Rin he saw in the street had purple eyes, but thanks to the power of flashback he also remembers that she originally had green eyes. At this point Kazuma hears the details of Ren’s disappearance, and goes on ahead while leaving Ayano and Kirika to clean up after him. [...]
After catching a glimpse of Tsuo Rin, Kazuma loses her in the crowd and gets all angsty. In his absence, the other characters round up the MMORPG lamers for questioning. Katherine has joined Kirika’s squad, and has little trouble taking out mahou shoujo-wannabe Shii-chan. Meanwhile Kanon gets harassed by Takamatsu Takashi. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Katherine insults Kazuma, thinking he is some scrub wannabe-ninja Fuujutsushi, but after he wipes the floor with her, Katherine decides to hire Kazuma as her coach. Katherine and Ayano tend to simply charge straight into battle, where Ayano’s superior weapon (Enraiha) is too much for Katherine’s spirit beasts. Kazuma trains Katherine to use [...]
Fresh off a Continecious flight from America, Katherine McDonald is here “for Dew.” She wants to take the title of premiere Enjutsushi family from the Kannagi family, and is willing to interrupt Ayano’s fancy dinner for a chance to duel. The McDonald style relies more on spirit beasts that concentrate fire spirits into [...]
Juugo has nothing better to do, so he makes up this absurd story to get Kazuma on a date with Ayano. There are supposedly some hints of poltergeist activity, so Kazuma and Ayano go to check it out; Juugo also mentions a special “tutoring fee” if Kazuma teaches Ayano how to control her powers [...]
