Anyone know the name of the seiyuu for Nanoka? Her voice is one of the things that make me like this show more... it resembles some anime voice I've heard recently, perhaps from GSG.

After reading your post, I have checked out the first two episodes of this series and can safely say that I am hooked. Like someone said earlier, the series has this soothing effect which is pretty rare in animated shows. I also don't believe this series is leaning on any incestual theme. It seems, episode three has been released by AS. Off to dl it.

I like Nanoka's voice too. More anime need to pick VA's who are the same age as the characters they play. One thing I dont like was the blatant fanservice. The underwear and locker room scenes just ruin the mood. Oh and her in the toilet stall. There was no reason to show that.

I'm amused by people's idea of what constitutes "blatant fanservice." It's one of the more amusing subjective thoughts on anime, to me. |

I am enjoying this series a lot. The production quality is very good. This show has far less erotic content than plenty of others lately - actually zero. Any suggestiveness real or imagined is gently mocked. I am up for whatever is going to happen because the characters are likable and seem like sensible people (come to think of it, Onegai Twins was kind of lacking in sensible characters).
Anything Itou Masumi has a song on I always like, which is kind of strange, because I thought her voice was really weird the first time I heard it. |

I think, for some series, that's the case. But KK seems to be working on a more subtle level than that. I honestly didn't get the impression that the scene of Nanoka's friend changing clothes was done to titillate the viewer, rather, to simply show it as it as: changing clothes, getting the cramps, wearing shapeless sweat-pants and shirts--this is the approximation of real life. |

I find it tiresome to argue about this sort of thing because it is easy to simply watch shows and make (usually misguided) claims about "all-audience," but pinpointing the target audience involves closer viewing and sometimes doing a bit of research. Koi Kaze is based on a seinen manga. In the adaptation some of the humor is downplayed in order to make the series a bit more inviting to a more general audience. But what's left over is definitely seinen humor. Quote:
But there were 3 underwear jokes in episode 3, and focusing somewhat voyeuristic attention on a young girl is at least suggestive. |

... Fortget about "INCEST," even until the last page of the manga this term can never apply. LOVE, INNOCENCE, PASSION, and INDECENCY can apply. Forget about "PEDOPHILE," Koshiro is not that type of man. He is a fully grown adult that loves his former adult girlfriend but fails to manage their relationship. Unlike his colleague that shows interest in high shool girls. He feels uncomfortable to have a young girl, who is merely a stranger to him except their blood relationship, stay with him. It is not easy for a male adult to comfort young girl who is full of expectations from you while preserving your own lonely life (heart-broken life). Shading tears in front of a stranger-turned-sister in ferris wheel always aches his thought and so embarrassing to his adulthood. The situations lead Koshiro to some degrees of PERVERSION but the story is not about it. Males always have perversion to some extent then SO WHAT. Quote:
The anime tones down a talk-of-the-town scene in episode 4. See it then you know which one. It is natural for that behaviour when you have a lot of conflicts in your head. As a middle age adult I can say this story is good for male adults, young females up, parents with brother and sister at some age distance, any male with younger sister, and anime fans wanting to have their feet on the ground. Those who finding the ways to abuse their sisters should see something else, it is not about that. If you are a male with younger sister you propably adore your sister than before and may stop some harshness againts her. Females are fragile you know. Koi Kaze is beautiful. Seeing this story in anime form is more wonderful despite several elements concerning the story development in the manga are removed from the anime. YOU HAVE TO SEE WHY THE STORY DEVELOPS TO END THAT WAY SHOULD YOU CLICK MY SPOILER LINKS BEFORE. I SEE BEAUTY. I LOVE THIS SHOW. HaRoRuleZ P.S. The manga is beautiful. The drawings are fine and sharp. If you are a collector do not miss. Seeing Nanoka's eyes is some kind of refreshment. After hopping from store to store in different areas to find Vol. 2 and 3 I was exhausted. Finally I got Vol. 2 from Amazon JP (currently out of stock but you can get Vol. 1 & 4) which arrived my door this morning. Even Google returns many online bookstores but most of them will lead to Amazon JP for ordering. http://www.junkudo.co.jp has significant stock of Vol. 1-3 and ship overseas but all processes are in Japanese. Vol. 3 from this site is on its way to me.
