Synopsis

Spontaneous Human Combustion: a chaotic phenomenon that has plagued humanity for years, randomly transforming ordinary people into flaming, violent creatures known as Infernals. While Infernals make up the first-generation accounts of Human Combustion, the second and third generations became known as pyrokinetics—people gifted with the ability to manipulate and control their flames while remaining human. To combat the Infernal threat and discover the cause, the Tokyo Armed Forces, Fire Defense Agency, and Holy Church of Sol produced their answer: the Special Fire Force.

Young and eager third-generation pyrokinetic Shinra Kusakabe, nicknamed Devil's Footprints for his explosive ability to ignite his feet at will, becomes a member of the lively Special Fire Force Company 8. Upholding the brigade's duty to extinguish the blazing Infernals and lay their souls to rest, Shinra is determined to become a hero who will save the lives of those threatened by the flame terror.

However, this is not the hero's game Shinra imagined. The Fire Force is a fractured mess of feuding brigades, abnormal Infernal sightings are increasing all over Tokyo, and a shadowy group is claiming to have answers to the strange fire that caused the death of Shinra's family 12 years ago. Faced with many obstacles within and outside the Fire Force, Shinra fights to uncover the truth behind the burning mysteries that have kept him in the dark.

Character Development: 8/10
Fire Force excels in character development, particularly with Shinra Kusakabe, the protagonist who aims to become a hero while uncovering the truth behind his past. Shinra's growth from a lone fighter to a respected member of Special Fire Force Company 8 is well-explored. The development of other characters, like Arthur Boyle and Maki Oze, adds depth to the team dynamics. However, some of the antagonists and minor characters are less fleshed out, which slightly detracts from the overall character richness.

Mixed Feelings
I originally got into Fire Force because I heard that it was very closely tied to another series I had seen previously. What I didn't expect was to be engrossed in the world pretty quickly with the banter shared with the characters. Nothing incredible or groundbreaking but it was entertaining and the world feels extremely well put together. The soundtrack keeps you engaged and it's a pretty decent introduction to a series. Very entertaining outside of the entire character of Tamaki, walking fan service. She alone lowers this score a great deal. Genuine warning for people who have mixed opinions on fan service, it is ...

TLDR: Not worth watching, unless you like fighting anime

This review will be based on seasons 1 and 2 as both seasons are pretty much the same at the time of 31/08/2024

Characters 3/10
So the character here is more like what the fuck because look, ok you have this priest girl that basically does nothing, but pray to the enemy for forgiveness. The problem is what does the praying benefit for each party? It literally does nothing and she is there for nothing. The character is also so fucking cliche to the point that is bad and there is also so much dumb fan service that just ...
