It's bad, really bad. The world was intriguing at first, society where robots blended in but not fully, and that creates some conflict
But they thrash it completely: robots can't lie, but actually they can, robots can't kill, but actually they can, robots don't have emotions, but actually they have.
Robots here basically humans, sometimes with abilities, like x-mens. or tosters. And I expected to be sad because kid toster is "destroyed", but there was zero attempt to build any interest to said toster, so I don't care.

It was good until it wasn't.
I don't know what's wrong with this series. It always starts strong and interesting, only to completely destroy itself by the end. The same story is repeated here.

Short review, no spoilers
1. Fights are great, impressive visually and ability-wise, fun to watch. 2. Fanservice is degrading, forced and placed like in the middle of the fight. Some characters do not have any purpose except flashing nudes. 3. World, while hinted as very interesting fiery-churchy-punky, was not explored at all. "Fire Force" forgets about their job after the 2nd episode and focuses on who knows what. 4. Story is as generic as it could be. Assemble team, grow as hero, fight bad guys. Overall I enjoyed some part and simply skip others, and did not lose anything to be honest |
