Kaze No Stigma – Anime Review
Review:
All members of the house of Kannagi possess the ability to
manipulate fire. Kazuma however was never really a talented fire-user. After he
was defeted by his cousin Ayano, his father banished him from the family for
being a disgrace. Now, 4 years after Kazuma left, he decides to return to his
hometown. He has made a contract with the spirit of wind and became a powerful
wind-user much stronger than most of the Kannagi family members. At the same
time several members of the Kannagi family are killer by wind-magic and as
rumours spread Kazuma seems to be the main suspect. Despite having no interest
in the Kannagi family anymore it seems Ayano’s and Kazuma’s ways are bound to
cross again.
Kaze no Stigma is an action filled anime with a solid story taken from a
novel series. The animation quality and fights are well designed; yet the
downside is this series abrupt end which leaves you hoping for more.

Dance in the Vampire Bund – Anime Review
Review:
Akira suffers from a loss of childhood memories, but with the help
of his friends he is still able to live a normal high school life. However, his
peaceful life suddenly changes after Mina Tepes starts to approach him. She is
what appears to be the princess of all vampires and she is about to not only
reveal the existence of vampires to the general public, but also with the help
of her enormous financial backings create an independent city at the coast of
Japan for vampires to gather and live in peace. As Akira spends more time with
Mina he remembers he is from a werewolf clan serving under her and his memories
slowly begin to return. Unfortunately the society of vampires isn’t as simply
as to simply follow through with Mina’s goals and ambitions, so it seems Akira
will have a lot of work on his hands.
As a fan of the manga this anime is based on, I found the alterations Shaft
made to the plot in the first episode to be rather absurd and unfitting.
Luckily the following episodes compensate with high animation quality and a
more down-to-earth plot. It’s an anime recommendable to all
vampire/action/fantasy fans.
