September 9, 2008 FUNimation announced yesterday via their podcast that the company’s latest rights acquisition belongs to the GDH K.K. series Kaze no Stigma. The 24-episode series is adapted from Takahiro Yamato‘s novels, directed by Cardcaptor Sakura‘s Jun’ichi Sakata, and produced by studio-of-a-million-titles: GONZO. Here’s the press release synopsis for the series, which will hit DVD in 2009:
Kazuma is a descendent of an ancient clan skilled in the magical Fire Arts. Unfortunately for him, the gift seems to have skipped a generation. Defeated by his younger, female cousin, Ayano, in a battle to become the clan’s successor, Kazuma is exiled with only the smoldering burn of failure to keep him company. But now he’s back, risen from the ashes and armed with a powerful new mojo that’s sure to fan the flames of the family rivalry. The cooler he gets — the hotter she burns, and when Wind and Fire collide, Tokyo is caught in the eye of the storm.
