Well, Koi Kaze just ended, so it's time for a review of the series. For those unfamiliar with it, check out my earlier episode review.

Considering the subject matter, I really liked Koi Kaze. It dealt with the subject matter (incest) in a way that felt real. You really felt the way the various characters agonized over their situation. Even though it's somewhat tough to condone such a relationship, you still wanted to root for them... It's a series that was really a character piece.

Unfortunately, I felt the ending was a little to... open. There isn't much a final resolution, I don't think. (Or else it was too subtle for me. That happens at times.) I really want to know what eventually became of the people, and it's unsatisfying, if perhaps somewhat realistic, to have that denied to me.

I'll call the series a good one (but not great), with sub-par ending. I wonder if there's going to be a 13th episode OVA for the 12 episode series.

Update: Whoops. Koi Kaze was a 13 episode series, if you count episode 7.5 (which should have aired as episode 8 but didn't).
