Kaze No Stigma

8.5/10
Kaze No Stigma is about a young man who is expelled from his family for being unable to control the power of fire like the rest of his family. In this family they prefer fire over wind and those who are unable to master it in the main family are disowned.

This anime probably has one of the cooler main characters because lets face it the dude is just not a bitch like most of the main male leads. Granted he really likes to tease the people around him but, all in all he is a better character than most. Plus, the dude is a total bad ass in a fight I think he loses his cool in a few fights during the whole anime. Now he isn't completely infallible because that just wouldn't be any fun to watch with series like One Punch Man or  Overlord hanging around. Granted I will say that Kaze no Stigma is older than the both of them so I guess you could call this their grand daddy. Unfortunately not enough people liked Kaze No Stigma to keep it going as it only had one season with little hope for another one. Since it came out around the time that Harems were the big thing to mess with its' popularity suffered the damage and caused it to fail.

Without the Harems or, if people would have just had their minds out of the gutter(which not many people can help) Kaze No Stigma is a really good anime. I love the way they portrayed their story and made the young son seem like an outcast that was loved for some reason. It was explained why that was within the first episode he may not be a good fire user but, he is a hellified wind user. His affinity with wind magic makes him rival some of the very strongest fire users according to the head of the family so, Kazuma is really powerful. Part of why he ended up an outcast was because he wasn't nearly as powerful when he got kicked out then when he came back he had become the Kaze No Stigma giving him pretty much all wind powers.

The only real weakness to this anime that I really saw was probably the lack of characters in general. Normally less characters means they spent more time on each one but, in this anime there just aren't enough people in the 'world' to make it feel alive. It is like playing a video game or reading a book where the main character only ever converses with people in direct contact with him at all time is a pretty good idea of how this anime feels sometimes. That being said they did do a lot of work on Kazuma which is fairly obvious.

In conclusion, Kaze No Stigma is pretty fun to watch in general as it is the grandaddy of all the over powered characters anime. Unfortunately it just never caught on so, I would try to watch it if I hadn't already.

Hagure Yuusha no Estetica

8.5/10 Ever wonder what happens to the hero after the story is over? Well this anime is here to show you just that! With Akatsuki defeating the 'Satan' of another world he is returned to his world after reaping the benefits of his new found powers along with his reward of taking custody of Satan's daughter. With Akatsuki returning to his world he is forced into the Babel program which helps people integrate into society with their new found powers like a tournament setting more or less. During this Akatsuki will fight other people with similar powers to his to see who really is the best 'Hero'. With some fan-service here and there this action show should be enough to tide you over while you wait for a new show to come out! Lets get this straight Akatsuki is the hero I would be if I was a hero lax a fuck and really carefree. He is the protagonist you want in any anime as he is not afraid to take advantage of any situation no matter how weird it may be thoug...

Death March

7.5/10 Hey guys, I'm back with yet another anime review. Something a little different this time as we're going to review one that isn't actually complete yet. I thought that people were really ragging this anime down with no chance and because of this I have decided to do a review even though, it is not finished. Let's jump into this one right away this one may be longer than others as I try to argue a better opinion to this anime than it's previous reviewers. Death March is about a game programmer named Satou(or Sazuki Ichirou) that is suddenly transported into another world with some gimmicks from the game he was creating tagging a long for the ride. Many people and I do mean many people have consecutively shat upon this anime without really ever giving it a chance. While their concerns are certainty noteworthy and a lot of their arguments valid here is what they aren't really telling you. One of the many things that has happened in the past year or...

Interviews with Monster-girls

8/10 Heading back into the lighter things this anime is about a teacher that wants to learn more about the "Demi-Chan's" that live in our world. Things like vampires, werewolves, succubus, and other mythical beings are genetic defects in this world. This is a light-hearted anime made for people who want to relax and chill out with a good laugh here and there. This show mostly follows the teacher Tetsuo who wants to make a journal of various Demi-chans that are from around the world. He is fairly reliable, likable, and is pretty smart as far as anime main characters go. There are some attempts at fan-service and romance but, this show mostly sticks to its' guns with the whole just being a show about interviewing thing. Which I have to admit is a nice change of pace. I like my monster-girls as much as the next guy but, recently it may be too much so, this is a nice new take on it considering the fact that they even tried to get all scientific about it. The main s...
