Spoiler free review Part 1: Introduction Since the dawn of time incest was a very special genre anime creators always used its unique proprieties to bring forth artpieces that have peak comedic value ex: kiss x sis that puts you and kicks you out of your comfort zone by offering a huge contrast between excessive lewdness and purity ex: Aki Sora or they simply use incest as a basic premise for good tier hentai ex: Swing Out Sisters but almost none decided to take incest seriously. And Im not trying to say that it is a bad genre even if it lacks seriousness incest is a very... interesting genre but considering that Oedipal love is a realworld problem the anime industry really understates its weight. But fortunately for us anime lovers koi kaze came to change the long established situation and it does a pretty decent job at doing what close to none have done. Part 2: Why Koi Kaze is a good tier anime From all the shows that use inbreeding as a tool Koi Kaze is in my opinion the best option for newcomers because first of all it has a very serious down to earth aproach and also the incest is introduced very slowly in order to not stress out the viewer too much. Yes we all inherently find incest disgusting even I do but even if you find it unbearably displeasing I think that Koi Kaze is sure worth giving a shot. Despite the fact that the anime has incest it is actually a pretty well done forbidden love story. Of course incest is not okay and the couple understands that especially considering that the age difference between the main characters is twelve years and the girl is only fifthteen but can we really control who we fall in love with? of course we cant and thats a big sad moment thats masterfully conveyed by Koi Kazes creators. And yeah it has some nice tier characters that back up the story and Kaname Chidori is quite a waifu tier lady. Other than that the anime has good looks accompanied by a lovely melancholic ost creating an atmosphere that really sucks you in. Part 3: Why Koi Kaze is not a god tier anime With all its merits koi kaze is still far from being a masterpiece. First things first the main couple is kinda mid. Besides the fact that they are siblings and the fact that Koshiro is a pedo there isnt much interesting stuff going on between them. Compared to the majority of good couples in anime Koshiro + Nanako lacks a good reason for their affection besides hormones and complexes which of course are realistic reasons but they dont work quite well in a story plus i dont find their interactions entertaining or heartwarming enough. And the second problem is that the pacing might seem slow at times that didnt bother me too much because those filler moments arent meaningless since they actually do a great job at building up the atmosphere but i totally see how someone could dislike the slower moments of the show. Part 4: Conclusion In conclusion I really hope that the next generation of Incest anime creators will take Koi Kaze as an example and create the ultimate incest anime that will improve on Kazes shortcomings. Yes Koi Kaze has its flaws but it really does hit different. im feeling a good 8/10 on this one
