Why wasn't it successful?

Although it was highly appreciated by the anime community, I don't understand why it didn't have the same success that other shows similar to this one had, it had good animations, good fights, simple story exactly like demon slayer or jujutsu kaisen, so why didn't it have a global success like Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen? what had fire force less than those 2 products? even the tokyo avengers, which sucked as an anime, were more successful than the fire force

I think there are a few reasons why Enen no Shoboutai, also known as Fire Force, didn't achieve the same level of global success as Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen, despite being well-received by the anime community.

Firstly, Fire Force's story, while engaging and action-packed, might not have been as universally appealing as the other two series. While it has a unique premise, the world-building and character development could be seen as more straightforward compared to Demon Slayer's rich mythology and Jujutsu Kaisen's complex moral themes. This might have made it harder for new viewers to get invested in the series.

Secondly, the anime community is often quick to hype up new series, but Fire Force's marketing and promotion might not have been as strong as the other two. Demon Slayer had a massive push from the manga and its popularity in Japan, while Jujutsu Kaisen had a strong online presence and was heavily promoted by its studio. Fire Force, on the other hand, might not have had the same level of marketing muscle behind it.

Thirdly, the anime market is highly competitive, and there are only so many slots available for popular shows. With Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen already dominating the conversation, Fire Force might have struggled to get noticed and maintain its momentum.

Lastly, Tokyo Revengers might not have been as terrible as some people think! While it's true that opinions on the anime vary widely, it did have a strong fanbase and was well-received by some viewers. It's possible that Tokyo Revengers simply resonated more with certain audiences than Fire Force did.

In conclusion, while Fire Force has its own strengths and merits, I think it's a combination of factors that led to it not achieving the same level of global success as Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen. However, I'm still hopeful that Fire Force will continue to find its own niche audience and build a loyal following!

most people are brain dead. people can't understand those fan services are obvious baits. like there was a scene where shinra's head was inside tamaki's boobs and she was on shinra's head like panals of helicopter. it's just author making fun of everyone and it was obviously a comedy element. until I don't know if anything has happened in manga later explaining fan service.
author goes to an extent where that fan service moments cause tamaki to get bullied by girls from her class in that flashbacks. so author is cooking something with it and people have no patience.

she's basically a prostitute at this point. iam not saying i don't like fan servicing, i like them in fact I love them, to a certain degree. but the thing is almost every one who interesting with her, Lay's their hands on her private parts.like the first general,then the MC, and two more villain's and more, if i remember correctly,in one fight the villain losess the fight with her because of over stimulation after putting his hands on her private parts. i don't mind the author is funny and all. he should realise some stuff just doesn't sell. if he wanted he should have just saved that shit for some spicial, or ova something like that.

but i still don't think that's the real reason why it isn't popular. i still like the show one of my favourite. i think it's popular enough.

@DarkHomieC JJK is definitely not a show that would come to mind as an easy anime for newbies to watch. Even seasoned fans complain about how confusing the plot and rules of how magic works in this anime are. Even against the backdrop of some Mahouka. I also wouldn't say that Kimetsu was solely popular due to Covid, given the pretty impressive battle animation that clearly didn't need any extra hype to attract people.

I'm also surprised that anyone considers Fire Force an "unpopular show." It may not be a juggernaut like MHA or JJK, but it was clearly powerful enough to warrant a very expensive adaptation with cool fights and three full seasons already.

first let me correct one thing, JJK isn't a simple story, it's one of the most complex story, (the 1st season was a bit simple). and for me i really like this show ( not sure how i feel if i re-watch it now). most i heard that people dislike this anime because of having too much fan service.( not sure you can watch it in TV in your house).

talking about Demon slayer, yah it's simple, interesting, the animation is peek, so for new anime fans it's easy to get into.( especially in 2020, because pandemic more and new people started watching anime)

But Tokyo revenge, it's a different story, first time Tokyo revenge came out, every one was impressed with the cool character design, but more than that the clothes/fashion design, ware soo good and popular even in a country where i live, anime isn't even know at all(about 95% don't know what anime is ). but even in my state, people ware waring clothes from Tokyo revenge, who didn't even know what anime is. that's how much of a hit Tokyo revenge design ware. ahh from season two it's just garba

Honestly if it wasn't for the gratuitous fan service, I'd consider FF a much stronger series than DS and slightly better than JJK.

jjk doesn't have a complex story

Yeshaiah2015yesh said:

you didn't even know it was complex, see that's how complex it is. every one understand that - ooooh he beat him and he beat him,. iam not talking that level understanding, even a 7 year old can do that, most of the PPL watching the anime doesn't understand many things about the anime they just think ooh he defeated him and leave it their, they don't understand how technique , power's, and the complexity of this grow's on every chapter,(Manga readers know what I am saying). even you don't understand 70% of the techniques used by the character.

Fire Force achieved some global recognition, and it actually has everything you said, but there was also a big problem: The discussion about fanservice.

This certainly impacted many people's views on the work, which is still one of the flagships of the discussion about the validation of fanservice/ecchi in anime.

Another factor is probably the time it was released. Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen are animes from 2020, when suddenly there was a boom in the anime industry to the West, where even ordinary people started consuming them and it may have even been the first anime for some. If Fire Force had been released later, it would probably have been even more successful.

I can't say why Tokyo Revengers was so successful though.

thats like saying ishuzoku review went down because of its nsfw content,

but it waz the exact opposite,

Zeth2604 said:

They are media with very different proposals, themes and target audience (this doesn't mean that someone can't like both, I like them myself)

Fire Force is a battle shounen, for young people with young characters, that "grown people" argue didn't need the NSFW content, while Ishuzoku Reviewers is something that people watch precisely for the NSFW content and wouldn't work without it.

xay_sama said:

WOULD work without it,

and your one perspective mindset on the comparison doesn't wirk,

dk why u joined in when you just made his side look even dumber,

Zeth2604 said:

How would a story focused on Monster Girls brothels work if they took away the appeal of the NSFW content? It is both the focus of the story and the center of the anime's comedy.
