| Lucky Shinra getting to touch unironically lmao. Well looks like we have a clue about the fire that happened 12 years ago. I'm guessing Sho becomes an enemy and will eventually fight Shinra |
 |
| After over 25 years of watching anime, I'm used to fan service. but this was the cringiest shit I've ever seen. Garbage fanservice may not seem like a big deal, but the problem is, nothing else in the show is interesting enough to divert attention away from it. Boring, trope-ridden shonen story, uninteresting fire powers, unlikable main characters. Only the setting and costume designs have really been interesting, and it's not quite enough for me. |
| this is going very well |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| Shinra looked he didn't know what was going on when he accidentally grabbed Tamaki and him smiling made him looked perverted. I didn't mind the fan service in this episode because fan service is like icing on a cake to me. So the plot thickens with the Fire Force keeping secrets for political and economic reasons. |
 |
| Another completely stupid and garbage episode: - More infodumps about things that could easily be shown or were shown before; - Stupid villains that for some reason go to a place full of enemies but conveniently don't encounter any other 'firefighters' or whatever they are; - Awkward directing and dialogues; - Lots of still images and weird shots towards the end; - Incredibly stupid fanservice. It's not even funny, bro. |
"Doubting everything that you take on... That is very important. Open your own eyes, clear out your ears, and look and listen to the world... And think using your own brain. After you've doubted everything, there is a possibility of something real to believe in. To believe in something, doubt everything." |
| So the neko girl from the opening was finally introduced and I must say, she has left a good impression on me. Also, Aoi Yuki's voice suits her perfectly. |
| I could see it since they mentioned the fire - Sho being taken away by some villain faction and used later on against Shinra/Fire Force. The Infernal that appeared to Shinra that day could be summoned by Sho, it could be living in Sho, Sho might inadvertedly become a villain because of his own personal connection to the fire. There are many paths this could take, but all of them unite in "Sasuke retrieval" if you know what I mean. Should be a trope name for it somewhere...[/quote] Yeah I can see that too but can't say I'd be a fan of such plot. I don't hate it but I personally don't really like those kinda stories where one character was told some BS and goes full Yanderu for no good reason. |

| I've seen lots of fanservice, but that scene with Tamaki was so awfully forced and off-putting I couldn't help but cringe. Don't know what I was expecting from this series tho. Lots of PLOT going on. What is more, I thought it was just my imagination, but those weird pauses in dialogs are unbearable at this point. That's something absolutely new to me like why is this even happening? They have nothing to cram into the episode, so those silent seconds are just left there to pass by? Not a fan of such solutions. On the other hand, the fight with Joker was fairly decent. Animation quality jumping from impressive to botched felt weird, but I'll keep watching this show. The premise itself seems intriguing, especially when Oubi mentioned some shady businnes taking place within the organization. I'd like to know the truth at least. |

RayReynolds said: @Ferrozo I have told the problem comes from the source, the manga was very mediocre especially for someone who made soul eater that seems to have worsened This anime was not going to be good unless they rewrote much of this especially characters like Tamaki which is the Obligatory Fanservice Girl whose schtick is that she keeps getting groped. If you're going to call out something as an awful cliche, don't just go ahead and do the cliche anyway, you putzes. She contributes nothing but hitting the catgirl fetish crowd though. Then we get to the ""fight"", if you can even call it that. They were happy to animate Whose-Its kicking. But the direction decided that the best way for him to be attacked would be to blithely stare at and/or narrate that he was being attacked. Multiple times at that. "Gee, I wonder if the explodey dust will explode again. Better stare at it for another 5 seconds." That's when it wasn't just interrupted by them having a longwinded conversation revealing the shocking truth that the brother who disappeared without a trace in a fire wasn't disintegrated. Again, something anybody with half a brain assumed already, and three episodes in certainly is not a big shocking reveal that could carry a whole episode like they clearly thought it could. @Farabeuf this would not even win a position of an average shounen. I utterly disagree with you. I have nothing more to say. |

| I though the censorship at the ending was scarier that the original part too... Like heads are missing, lives have been forgotten and you don't wanna know what's behind the big black censor line! ><' But yeah, as said, Joker's design totally looks like it's coming from Soul Eater (remember the clowns and the Flying Dutchman...), needless to say, I expect a character to be mysterious and smart just like Justin.(maybe not Joker, but another antagonist) Oh and in this episode, Arthur made me think of Kid!(That time where he's proudly cutting the ceiling in a clean form xD) Yeah, maybe this episode doesn't have outstanding animation like in previous ones, but the stylistic zoom on Joker and Shinra's face was dope! And the plot looks more interesting than what I thought before. Really glad Fire Force's coming back every week! ^^ (Oh and when you know Ohkubo's love for cat girls like Blair from Soul Eater... <3 I kindda started to enjoy fanservice, that's what made me start Soul Eater's anime, I was a just a middle school boy excuse me, thanks to him... ... There's nothing to be shocked about fanservice here, I usually don't like it but I've seen a lot worse in other shounen manga/anime EVEN more popular, and from time to time adding with the comedy if it isn't to persistent it doesn't hurt, I see your bad faith! >:( ) |

| i really liked this episode, it kind of showed me that there's a lot to come, and thats just the beginning also it kept me curious - to me the series *really* started from this episode..🙌 |
papsoshea said: Although the new fanservice character (Tamaki) is pretty hot, she is no way better than Maki - getting baited again by manga readers (rolls eyes). Learning about Akitaru's goal, I am really interested to see where the story goes on from here. After watching 3 episodes, I like it - the action sequences involving Shinra, Arthur, Tamaki, and the villain Joker was pretty dope. Shinra's younger brother seems to be alive. Good new leads and developments. I really like tamaki but yes, Maki is still my best girl <3 |
 |
| >Fire causing continents to be practically chopped up. mm-hmmmmmmmm -I will admit, that was one impressive villain entrance. So many aspects of it were nailed greatly. >His brother is still alive. Well that would explain the lack of bones at the scene. -That fight sequence was solid, and the sound design was flawless. Very cool sound effects in fights seems to be a staple of DavidPro. >Arthur cuts through the wall for a shortcut. You're a dumbass, Arthur. -I gained even more respect for Oubi. He realizes the problems with the system in the show, but knows that he still needs to serve the people. Work your way up and change the system from the inside. Overall, it was a fine episode. On a semi-related note, I had a bad sunburn while watching this, so that made for an immersive experience. I guess.  |
Qrow_Branwen42 said: O.K is it just me or does anyone else find humor in this show really cringey and forced? When it comes to action or drama, everything's doing just fine, but once the show decides to lighten up a bit, it feels like it was writen by 14 old. This seems to be the case for most anime humor for me, to be honest.

Sasukoso said: I still don't understand how the new female character got groped, how do you "accidentally" put your hand under a bra?Or did Shinra just grope a girl he didn't even know? Can someone explain that scene, or is it just, this is anime so this happens every time? I'm used to fan service but at least it has to make some sense Yeah the whole "accidentally slipping hand in both her bra and panties and pretty much groping her naked tits and ass" thing was ecchi-tier bad. That stuff doesn't happen on accident lol. I think most of us have accidentally touched a female friend's ass or breasts, it happens, but I've never heard of an accidental slipping into her panties. It was just stupid. |
| Pretty good episode. Tamaki (I think that's how you spell her name) is amusing but needs to improve more imo. That scene though was totally unexpected and I burst out laughing. I totally looked like an idiot doing that. I have a feeling that the joker will be one of my favourite villains. |

MasterHavik said: This show is becoming so fucking stupid. Fire neko kitty? Are you kidding me? Stupid fanservice. tottobennington said: Tamaki is love <3 i already know i'm going to love her xD What i did not expect is for her to be the "fanservice" character in such a heavy way... I was expecting sexy shots of her, here and there but not to love ru levels of groping This episode was ok, but I already can't stand Tamaki, created just for pointless fanservice, it's just damn annoying. That Tamaki girl is annoying. Her voice and personality made me dislike her already. Does she get some interesting moments? It doesn't seems like it, she looks like a character that only exists for forced, awkward fanservice. If you don't like it drop this and go watch other series, don't waste your time watching something you don't like and complaining about forums, Carpe Diem! Well, my opinion of the show just drastically degraded. What's with the blatant fanservice? What was the point of the entire scene? Seriously, horrible. Back to the story now. Not quite unexpected, however, why would they keep the reason a secret, that is a mystery. Talk about horrible fanservice. What was the point? Does the author think kids are going to like that? the forum of snowflakes and feminists is somewhere else if they can't stand a girl teaching skin. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| Tamaki aside this really was a dope episode. Seriously Shinra's hip-hop spin kicks was just dope as well as Joker's sway dodges of Arthur's sword. |
| I used to be a watchmaker. |
| Decided to watch the first 3 episodes today. I pretty much got what I was expecting, something that looks like soul eater in a different universe and with better, much better, animation. So far it looks pretty good, the animations and fight scenes are far above the median, they keep using the contrast of dark and bright colors which is pretty eye catching, and the character design is pretty good. Only thing I don't really like is how the scenes are being managed (directing?). The flow feels broke from time to time, it is like they skip a scene trying to ignore something not very interest to then jump into something more relevant. |
 |
| what the fuck is up with the fanservice?? can someone explain why Shinra did that?? It'd be such an awesome anime otherwise, but the unnecessary sexualizing makes me uncomfortable. I'll watch porn when I feel like it thanks. |
   |
| Despite all the complaints about her character, Tamaki happens to be one of my favorite female characters in the series. As a matter of fact, she is my second favorite after Arthur and a certain someone from the the 7th brigade. She's my best girl because she is a very likable character, despite her being groped and used for cheap fan service. I got immune to it while reading the manga but personally, I see it as a parody of blatant fan service which is common in the Anime/manga series. Then again, this is a your run-of-the-mill shounen and they often come with lots of fan service at the expense of a female character that is absolutely ridiculous and illogical. If it's not your cup of tea, it won't get any better. Expect lots of moments with Tamaki getting groped and stripped. This certainly won't be the last time you'll see her in ludicrous and over-sexualized states. However, despite her being my favorite, I feel like that scene where Shinra groped her twice was executed very poorly. It's like BAM in your face, like how the eff did that happen? It looks like Shinra did it on purpose, while in the manga, it subtlety happened, she was stepping in front of him, he was raising his hand to stop and get Captain Burns` attention. He accidentally slipped and grab her tit and her ass in that manner. I also didn't like how they were trying to force that "humorous" part of Shinra questioning why Mamoru-kun was a mascot. Why did they repeat the "huh?" twice? That was really forced as well. On the plus note, the voice acting was great and the animation during Shinra's fight was wonderful but that part when Shinra landed with the two victims and his face was not animated was really weird. |
| 臭い- |
| The pacing was a little fast, but I'm enjoying the ominous tone of the anime. Can't wait to see how things develop with the Joker. |

Ha-ha-ha It's a PARODY! Oh, good sirs we almost lynched this OUTSTANDING series for doing a PARODY! Why, we were taking it to serious, weren't we?? Splendid then, absolution of all the wrongdoings now. The sign of a perfect parody is when YOU CAN'T TELL IT APART FROM THE REAL THING oh my oh my this amount of sarcasm is not good on my heart. Tbh it you couldnt see that it was played for laughs, this really is on you x) |
| So the censorship was removing scens with Juggernaut and adding NICE BOAT talk. Here's two pages that happen after Arthur makes holes to enter inside and before Tamaki falls on him. That would interupt her nekomata powers. Trainer_Green said: This episode was straight garbo. It's been a while since I've had antagonists and plot be forced down my throat, thanks Fire Force. Already our antagonist shows up and reads a short paragraph that summarizes to: "Join the dark side Shinra and I'll tell you about your brother," but hey at least he looks sort of threatening. Also we get introduced to Tamaki who's introduction is literally just Maki, but worse. The only thing this show has going for it is it's world building. The characters are bland, the interactions are REALLY stilted and awkward, and the plot is extremely rushed. I want this show to be good, I really do, but I don't think we're going to get that. Here's hoping the later episodes are better. Joker isn't even a villain. |

| this show is really bad. the cuts are ridiculously choppy and abandon a logical progression, the dialogue is full of non sequitur and clunky lines, and the characters don't feel remotely natural. i don't usually drop shows but i'm one bad episode away from it with this one. |
| I really enjoyed the fight between the villain dude (we don't know his name yet, and I'm to lazy to read the manga so that's what I'm going to call him) and Shinra. I really like the villain's personality and design, it was really well animated. I kind of hate the cat girl, her ability is interesting, but she's also pretty damn whiny and has a shit personality. Also, she's a textbook tsundere ( I normally don't have a problem with tsunderes, but this one is really getting on my nerves.) and is being used for trashy ecchi fanservice that this great show really, really doesn't need. I'm hoping she doesn't become a main character, but based on how many times she appears in the opening, I guess she's going to eventually be apart of the main cast... |
| A really awesome episode. I'm enjoying this show a lot more than I thought I would when I first started watching it. The animations in this show are so satisfying for my eyes, especially fire animations. Oh, if only Fairy Tail had some of those. Also that fanservice was implemented really well, I'm both amazed and pleased by it lol. |
 |
| Another great episode, loved the focus on world building and mystery. Also, all girls so far are pretty awesome. Maki is still the hottest and most badass, but Tamaki is a hilarious oddball xD Digging this so much. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| That was some good development. Got to see the antagonists. And the plot is more clear now. |
 |
| Another awesome episode! Tamaki made her appearance, and i really like her energetic personality, and she is also cute and hot! Her interactions with Shinra were funny, teasing both into that! Shinra fight against jiker was really awesome! I am also curious about Fire Force misteries, and what 1st group captain is hiding! |
 |
| This show is pretty bad so far, but thank God it has some nice waifus. Tamaki is not as good as Maki, but I will gladly accept the generous fanservice she is offering nonetheless. |
 What's the difference? |

Never said it's an outstanding series. I did say it's your run-of-the-mill shounen. Everything in it is very generic. The only concept that stands out is the characters being fire fighters. This isn't even in my top 20 or 30 series. It's just a series I'm following mainly for the animation and certain characters. Honestly, dude, chill out. You are way too triggered by a simple Anime series. |
| 臭い- |
It looks better on the anime If we're talking about fan service |
That was HOT if i can say so :P |

| The action was amazing, but the exposition was a bit forced and I dislike the fanservice - which isn't necessarily bad, but it doesn't fit in a show like this. Solid episode. |
