However, even though it does lack originality, it's done well and to a good enough standard to enjoy watching it all unravel. It's storyline does lack, with some filler episodes (such as amusement park visits and hot bath days), and random bad guys which pop up, get defeated, and so moves on to another scenario. Most action fans would see the storyline as very cliched and predictable, having seen it all played out before.
I started this thinking 'alas, another predictable action anime which I may end up dropping' but it had me sucked in to the very end. It's a good thing they have an open end so I really hope for a sequel. The main lead remains one of my favorite characters. I think it was pretty great and I don't regret seeing it. However, if you like magic battles you'll find this anime cool, plus the characters and some of the situations make the 24 episodes worth the time. Well, as I said, unless you're into magic, combat and ecchi shots from time to time, you're probably not gonna find anything interesting. Nothing else to say here, the characters are probably the strong point of this anime. To my surprise, the guys have cool personalities as well, the main lead taking the title of one of the most kick-ass characters, you're gonna like his style. KnS has it all: the tsundere, the athlete, the rich lady (from America, though speaks English like hell), the lolita and so on.
I liked the idea of two ending songs/sequences since it changed with the atmosphere of the episode. Not much to comment on this area, the sound is fair enough, soundtrack fits the mood all of the time and the opening song is quite catchy once you listen to it. Even though it's no better than other 2007 animes, it clearly has it's own attractiveness for me. the characters are drawn good enough for any fan to enjoy the art.
Effects are good, from flames to wind and other unleashed powers plus The characters are very nicely drawn, you can clearly see this is a 2007 anime. Even though the lack of main plot overall disappointed me, I found the story overall satisfying. The 'main' plot starts later in the series as the first 3/4 is filled with random missions and somewhat fillers like hotspring episodes and so on.
The story is fair, not really impressive since for me it was predictable towards the end. Battles, magic, comedy, kick-ass moments, KnS has it all. Kaze no Stigma is a fun anime if you're interested into this genre.
