So I'm not alone with that opinion. ^^
Though, it didn't bother me that Ren got some spotlight, but that clone girl was just too typical and "sooo sweet and nice" that I just had to hate her... >_>

and the long-awaited, legendary, has-to-be-sealed-away-by-human-sacrifice behemoth was a turtle. a giant fucking turtle.

if you make a crappy series with people flying around and shooting colorful magical spheres at each other (and fairies, don't forget the fairies) at least make the monsters look cool.

wtf...

Ren'a arc has been the highlight so far when compared to the previous few arcs IMO...
Guess you guys like to see more of Kazuma and the ill-fated one... Ayano right?

I'm just really glad Ren gets his spot light.

Lots of hate, but i loved this arc. Looking forward to the next arc. Unfortunately next ep looks like a filler -- a good filler tho :)

My thought exactly, a lame ass turtle. They really could and should have been more imaginative than that.
And just how could their fire wound something that live and breathe molten lava? You would think it should be more or less immune to their puny flames even in it's weakened state.

I hat how no one ever gives Kazuma enough credit for what he does, especially that stupid Ayame. I mean if he wasn't there or didn't feel like helping out the Wind and Fire magic users would've been wiped out by the Wind demon and the Earth magic users would've been wiped out by the Earth demon

I don't have anything against Ren but he's not interesting enough to get the lead in episodes so I'm glad this story with him and that girl has ended.

Okay, I'm loving the boss fights, but can they PLEASE last longer than half an episode? It's like fighting through a gauntlet of monsters that can wipe you out in two hits only to kill the boss with one strike... ICH WILL MEEEEEEHR!!!

Yeah Kazama needs more credit. The guy is by far the best of the bunch. Kinda funny how powerful he is and yet he uses "inferior" wind magic. (Funny how fire users are always kinda lame. Avatar the Last Airbender is another example)

I was afraid to comment before because I thought I was the only one. XD

I didn't hate or dislike Ayumi, but she only got three episodes of development (yes, I know she's only a year old technically, but still) so it's a little hard to say I got attached to her character in that time. And... there wasn't much to her. Pretty stereotypical "nice" and altruistic character who lives their life knowing they'll be a sacrifice. (Stereotypical by anime standards at least.)

Well, at least Ren got a little more screen time. Though the highlight for me again was Kazuma and his comments.

Hard to get about a character that we only know for a couple of episodes. I agree with several others that I did not really enjoy this arc that much.

Hope it gets better.

Well maybe we can get back to the main plot now. Although I did like the spotlight that was put on Ren, and at the end it did bring a sort of sad feel on for him.

They tried to build it up to a sad moment, but it wasn't really that sad D=. I think they could have done a better job.

I didn't mind this arc because Ren is my favorite character and honestly I didn't like Ayumi all that much (not that their was much time to really get to know and care about her), but some if my favorite parts of the show are the Ren/Kazumi interactions .

I hope not to see Kazuma doing any more stupid things that would remind me of something Ayano would do.

Still, the best arc so far.

Well I liked this episode, I know Ayumi did not have a lot of build up character wise but she didn't have to. If you accept that sometimes people really can and do fall in love that quick you can accept it. The thing that annoyed me was Mayumi being a spoiled brat and treating Ayumi like crap and as soon as Xenon is dead and seeing Ren's heartfelt sympathy all of a sudden she has a 180 degree change of heart? That is kinda hard to believe....people usually don't stop being self absorbed twits quite so easily.

Really enjoying this series overall though, but I read the season at the finish feels very incomplete because the creator passed away before a second season started......that's a shame....as good as this has been you think someone would have picked up the reigns and continued the work.

kaze no stigma is very boring and senseless so far. The story should have focused in the relationship between kazuma and his father. He defeated him so easily that now i have no idea what they want to explain to us. What's the point of adding fairies and giant turtles?

Great, touching episode. Sad ending but I guess there was no other way to end. A happy ending here would be unrealistic, even though I wish there was one... loved the ED song too. It was a nice touch... Ren met the girl, they fall in love, and lost her just as quickly. Dude literally just grew up very quickly. Ren is now a man in my eyes.

Was a pretty good arc. Only problems were you knew how it was going to go from the minute they got to the beach scene. It was nice to see Ren move beyond comic relief wimp. Kureha was a nice change of pace. I was really hoping for something more along her lines from Kazuma. Never bought his homecoming/reunion. Will give points to Juugo. The toss the girl at him and effectively make him the next head of the family is about the only thing that would prevent him from taking it out on them.

Hmm I surprisingly liked the Ren arc, it was cute and heartwarming. Ren wasn't a wimp either, he manned up. Poor boy, girlfriend turned into sand.

That monster got defeated pretty easily. I think this show could benefit a bit from slowing down some. While the stories tend to be pretty interesting, some of the execution and reveals come a little quick to get a full impact. Even Kureha being a foil of Kazuma seems a bit swept under the rug a bit.

Also, I wish the fights weren't just some random blasts and that's it. It'd be nice to see some thought and strategy involved in the attacks.

Well, I guess water is next.

Good episode, Kazuma and his team defeated the earth demon but lost a very important comrade.

I give it 7/10.
