 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| I give it a 8/10 even though the last two episodes sorta sucked. I watched the english dub on netflix and the lip syncing was great all the way until here. Ignoring that though, the plot seemed to jump off a cliff. Ayano bringing Kazuma back to his senses so easily was sort of lame and the fact that his awesome looking black wind was weak was annoying. Then when Lapis summons Belial, one contractor and two fire magic users finish it with one hit? That sucks. By the end everything started to feel extremley rushed and I wish they had made it 26 to flesh out certain details. Still though, I enjoyed the ride and liked all of the main characters so I'll stick to the 8. Sucks that we'll never see a second season since the writer died and everything. |

| Got hooked to the anime, but wasn't too thrilled after watching the ending. The ending wasn't too bad nor grand. Left a lot of unresolved issues and room for a second season that wont ever happen. I was wondering though how Tsui Ling and Kazuma got kidnapped, or what led to Tsui Ling's sacrifice. If anybody knows this, please message me. I'm curious. It would also be great if they showed in the anime how Kazuma made a contract with the king of winds. Overall, 7.5/10. |

| overall the show was just alright but the romance was pretty lame. There wasn't even a kiss at the end. 7/10 |
     |
| The author died so 99% sure there won't be a season 2, it would be too disrespectful to continue a deceased authors work. Such an awesome anime left unfinished :( |
 |
| This episode was really entertaining!! To the point where Tsui Ling ( how ever you spell her name) said that that her last thoight was for Kazuma to die, I somehow felt that pain....poor Kazuma :( ( glad Ayano consoled Kazuma and she hugged her) I thought the team work was great ( really wanted them Kazuma x Ayano to kiss) , when they were talking about the future and about protecting her and the others was sweet!! Glad Ayano gots Kazuma's back, ( are they kissing yet) when he smelled her hair ? Nope just smelled ( AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH KISS ALREADY !!!) Otherwise glad he did in episode 4 !! Over all glad that it didn't end boring but a hint that they Kazu7ma and Ayano make a perfect couple!!! |
 |
| I love how at the end its like a character reunion why cant all anime do that, its kind of cool even though some of them never talked too each other in the series they were all there at the end. |
 |
| A pretty flat ending in my opinion. I felt that the entire show went downhill with this last arc. Everything was resolved and I was a left with a feeling of, "so what...?" Why were the bad guys bad? Why was Kazuma so angry? I didn't even get a kiss to satisfy the romance aspect of the anime. 6.5/10 |
 |
| You know the creator died before season 2, as far I Ive heard |
|
| Is the manga not way ahead of the anime? That seems to be the case most of the time...Shame the writer died. I was really enjoying this, but the thing with Tsui Ling left a bad taste in my mouth. Pretty horrifying thing that happened to her, and I don't even get to know why. Been driving me nuts, but I suppose I'll have to let it go. I should really stop torturing myself with things that will never be finished (Rosario+Vampire, Highschool of the Dead, Air Gear..) |
| I...I want more :( That last scene made me remember how fun it was, and knowing that it'll never be finished sucks. |
| 6/10 because of the plotholes and unfinished ending. Sadly, the author has passed away so there is no chance for improvement in a second season. I did enjoy it a fair bit. |
| that ending huh...but this was really good...too bad it will not have another season |

| I really liked the anime. there were plotholes but i did enjoy the anime. its a shame that the writer died :c i was hoping for more development between kazuma and ayano. |

| Meh, disappointing ending. Overall this show was pretty mediocre, about 3/4 of the show was average at best. Then things started to get interesting in the last arc but they dropped the ball with the ending. 6/10 could have been a 7 if the ending wasn't so bad. |
 |
| Tsui-Ling wanted to kill Kazuma! My feels :( |
 |
| they did kiss a few times in the series... well mostly him kissing her.. but it took how many years and anime seasons for Shana "where do babies come from?" to get a kiss from "i was deaf season 1" Yuji ;) even once the kiss came, it was in the most disappointing weirdest season ever |
| Sucks that this didn't get a second season :( I like how Kazuma's dad was there the whole time like a BOSS. It was obvious that the whole summoning Belial was just to weaken Kazuma and then finish him off. |
| I felt sorry for Kazuma for Cui Ling wanting to kill him. Good anime. It's too bad we won't see the series in its completion. Rest in Peace Takahiro Yamato. |
| Meh, pretty decent episode. Wasn't my favorite arc but still enjoyable. Am i the only one that found the plot to be somewhat confusing at times?? But overall, still enjoyable. 7/10. |
| it was a good anime. i liked it. i probably would have liked it better without ayano though. eh, c'est la vie. |
| Is there anyone here who's proficient enough to translate Lapis's words directly into English? At the end, she said Cui Ling's last thoughts were "I want to kill you". And everyone assumed that meant Kazuma... But I think it would be helpful to know EXACTLY what Lapis said, because I have another theory about Cui Ling's last thoughts. If she did say exactly "I want to kill you" then couldn't that mean she was addressing the evil mage who was about to sacrifice her to the demon? Or perhaps she was telling the demon itself that she wanted to kill the beast. I think the villain at the end is the sort who likes to mind fuck people. With half truths instead of outright lies. So my theory sounds plausible, doesn't it? Because the villain told the truth. Cui Ling's last thought was "I want to kill you". He just neglected to tell Kazuma that those words were directed at the demon. And Kazuma being the egoistic dude that he is, immediately assumed that was all about him. Who agrees with me? |
| Great ending!! I feel very satisfied. By far, one of my favorite action romance that has to do with magic. There is suppose to be a 2nd season but I don't think it will happen since the author died. I hate when that happens. Soo sad.... |
| I went in looking for a simple magic/action romance and what did I get in the end? Hair sniffing and an ass touch. =D IDK this anime was sometimes cheesy and cliché, but some of it is pretty unique. A decent closure because the story had almost no plot, and had some tender moments. 4/5, worth the watch I guess |
| It was good I guess. There are times when it's good, but most of the time it's just plain. Almost lost interest in the last few episodes so the ending felt so anti climatic. 7/10 |
| Recommend me an anime |
| Well, the main(?) villain is on the loose. Anyway, renzbiohazard said: It was good I guess. There are times when it's good, but most of the time it's just plain. Almost lost interest in the last few episodes so the ending felt so anti climatic. more or less, my thoughts too. |
 |
| Dat spank lol. That was so cliche lol. And the romance was pretty poor but at least it didn't get a Zestuen no Tempest ending. And those random panty shots throughout the series xD Well at least it was entertaining and Kazuma is a badass. One of a few good male MCs. Too bad R.I.P author, I'd watch more. 6/10 edit: Oh, and the 'last Tsui Ling words' were so lame and made up in the last while .. |

| lol.the ending sure is rushed but ok I guess.I mean they finish him with only one big attack 7/10 this Anime |
 |
| Kazuma smacking Ayano's butt is the kind of comedy they should have stuck with throughout the series. I'm not saying the show needs to be ecchi but it could have done so much better if it took itself less seriously. They stopped the show at an awkward part in the relationship as well. I don't mind open endings but this was just lazy. |

| I really liked the show otherwise I wouldn't have watched it in 3 days :D The fight against Belial was nice and the ending was okay. Like some other people here said it's sad that there was no kiss. But okay I'm happy with this. Unfortunately we will never see the real romance between Kazuma and Ayano. 8/10 for me :) |
 |
| That was disappointing no Kissssss??????? Well I'm pretty sure there is no season 2. If ling was still alive I should have shipped them :( Over all it was decent, wish there was a bit more romance. |
[center] *>.>[Spoiler][/spoiler]<.<* [center] |
| I have to say i got disappointed. It started so epic but then it turned out to be just another shounen. It was entertaining but show that trying to fake that it has a story is just boring. Pause in talking and late responds is just retarded. Also, we got no romance and no story and no ending. When he created badass MC he could at least use it right. |
 |
| I have to say that overall I was kinda disappointed with this series. In the beginning I was into it, but then it came to a point where I was kinda forcing myself to finish it just to move on. The one thing that did keep me slightly interested was the romance even though that isn't really a big part of this show or anything. But that too ended in disappointment as I wanted to see a legit confession or at least a mutual kiss. I give this a 6/10. |
| wtf with this ending. |
Sorry for my bad English  Humans see what they want to see |
| Guess I was expecting too much for the final episode. Strong start, weak middle and weaker finish. Pretty disappointing series for me personally. It left a non-satisfying ending, I hated how much Kazuma suddenly changed... from a total badass to a whiny b*tch and don’t get me started with Tsui Ling/Lapis last thoughts “I want to kill you”. When the one who killed, and used her as a sacrifice in black magic experiment was Mother F*cker Erwin Leszal, where in the end she was eaten completely, not leaving any part of her soul. With Kazuma powerless trying to protect her, she knows fully well how out of power and hurt he was when she saw MC despair face... her hatred should be towards the one destroying their life for selfish reasons not the one who failed in protecting her because he didn’t have power at that time... What Da’ F*ck!? TwilightShiva said: +1not much closure. and what about all the humans possessed by youma who were sacrificed to summon beliar? i guess no one cares? tigerz said: +1But what the heck is the deal with the mother? It seems like she played a big role in helping him survive the four years abroad and encouraged him to become a wind mage but when he comes back she's nowhere to be found... Is she dead? What gives, too many open loops. Bladin said: +1Enemy gets away? Check. Relationship still hasn't made much headway? Check. Tons of plot holes? Check Terribly cliche'd enemies? Check check check. Super smash bros final boss making a appearance? Check Seriously though, if there woulda been a second season this woulda been a decent enough season end, but as a series end, it's pretty effin terrible WildKhaine said: +1I was really enjoying this anime too at the beginning but around the middle or so it just started to get annoying. The dialogue seemed repetitious and unconvincing towards the end. Really hate when an anime starts out really good then just flops around towards the end. jbeat said: This...Got hooked to the anime, but wasn't too thrilled after watching the ending.

| @Roy_Focker the author died while writing the series. That's why after Misao's arc everything seems all over the place and keeps getting worse, until that ending. Sure they could have made it a better ending; but I'm happy they decided to animate it, even without a complete story. |
| What I want to say first is it's been a good long while since I came across a character as arrogant, stupid, spoiled and annoying as Ayano. It's too bad, because Kazuma is a likeable badass and the parts of the show that weren't heavily focused on Ayano were quite enjoyable. What's more... "What am I to you", you ask? A blood relative goddamit! A close blood relative, at that! This so-called romance between relatives is just creepy. Even the moral aspect of it aside, are the Kannagis still stuck in the medieval period that they never heard of genetics and how inbreeding messes up progeny leading to horrible genetic defects and degeneration? Besides, Kazuma has the full right to hate the Kannagi family after what they did to him, and he even went to the pains of changing his last name just to cut his ties with them from his side too, so tell me, how, say, marrying Ayano, as her father seems to be intent on making him, can even be reconciled with his justified desire to not be involved with them on the personal and familial level? It just doesn't make any sense. 6/10/ Could've been better but that "romance", the whitewashing of the Kannagis, along with Ayano being a spoiled haughty bitch and her incessant fanservicy pantyshots for no reason (Gonzo really overdid it), prevented me from enjoying this show more. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| The last fight was very anti-climatic but nevermind. I don't like how the villains walked away lol. I like the last arc about Kazuma's past, also, the whole plot about Lapia and Bernhardt was much better than the entire show besides the first episode. But, the show was bad. Ayano is just a female version of generic characters from shounens like Natsu and Asta. So annoying. The rest of the cast were just filler. At least, the only decent character in the entire show is Kazuma. The anime is unfinished and the author died, so, RIP Kaze no Stigma. 4/10 for the anime. |

| Last arc was weak. This show was better earlier. Maybe Catherine would have been a better girl for Kazuma, I wonder. |

| Cute series, if the author had lived I believe it would have ended up like the Familiar of Zero. |
| Kazuma's past is seriously too sad, and well, Ayano just isnt a good enough replacement for Cui Ling. And if what Lapis said is true that makes everything even more sad. I wish we got more of Kazuma's past, like how he and Cui Ling even got into that situation where she ended up dying. I dont like how Kazuma is in love with Ayano, I feel like she doesnt deserve happiness or to be loved. and got in the way of Kazuma getting revenge. Very good anime, but although the last arc was "good" it really did change my perspective on this anime. Overall Ayano is the main reason this anime failed, it was so good but it just got ruined somehow, and that somehow is Ayano always getting in the way of everything and being a bitch. A solid 7/10 anime, would have been a 8 if Kazuma didnt end up with Ayano. Im very disappointed :( |
