| Wow! What power! :O Using the flame to make art with the face. It's like plastic surgery... So Benimaru finally understood there's some interference besides infernals. Now to clear those misunderstandings :( *facepalm* What are those two idiots doing? Shinra, Arthur, focus! They are not synchronized which I find amusing to watch. |

deg said: this is normal science fiction (not hard science fiction) though so expect pseudoscience like this Where's the science part in this alleged science fiction part of the story? kids that can manipulate fire in multiple ways sound a lot more like magic out of the fantasy genre or supernatural at best, but not science fiction. |

| more action more fire force ᵇᵘᵗ ʷʰᵉʳᵉ ᶦˢ ᵗʰᵉ ᶠᵃⁿˢᵉʳᵛᶦᶜᵉ |

| Why is everyone so whiny about this episode, i mean... its not fullmetal alchemist so whats with these skyhigh expectations, compared to other shows this season id say its done quite well. Imo if anything to whine about in this show its the sumo costumes, but hey im not going there... |
| this show is starting to have so many issues.. jesus |
| The action scene was really good. I liked the ending, it sets up the next episode really well |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| Shinra & Arthur still have poor teamwork! looks like everyone will know about the shapeshifter cause of the ruckus! 5/5. |
 |
| This show went from a solid 3 to an okay 5 since we entered Amakusa. The scene with Shinra and Arthur was cool. Besides that I still dont understand the actions of some characters or their behaviors (like why the strongest dude in the village is just running around talking to one person if he can fly and destroy shit, and so on). |
| Tbh, the forced humor in this is just making me frustrated than make me laugh. Good to see Shinra and him doing some teamwork |

Water-sama said: @LeloTheUnamused That's was very Rude. Now it just seems like you're on a Personal Rant against me. However, You did make 1 semi-decent point. "I If I am too specific, you complain and change the question" "If I semplify it too much, you complain" -Nobody changed anything. I responded to YOUR explanation. I even Quoted you... - You literally just got angry and considered a Logical Argument to be "Complaints" because you couldn't prove it wrong. You didn't even try to reply to all of my arguments, YOU SKIPPED THEM. I even quoted where your explanations was Flawed. "I missed the points" -Then EXPLAIN IT BETTER... Anyways, There are no points to get because it doesn't make sense. That's why you just gave up. You say my logic is "complaints" when you can't defend a point I made. I understand that you like this show and you can't defend this show for not making sense but don't rely on personal attacks because my arguments prove your "explanations" wrong. Keep in mind I asked for even asked for help understanding this stuff before concluding that its not sensible. Tbh you seem to come from far but I'll try to explain to you. The fire force is one just in name. It is actually a match up of different companies, each being sponsored by different organization. All the fire force is officially headed by the empire even though the actual power of the empire on the companies is limited. - company 8 is backed by the fire departement. Obi and his higher ups decided to create this company with the goal of spying on other companies and discover the truth behind SHC. - Haijima industries only backs up company 3 and 5. They have much influence overall because they basically furnish all the equipment to all the fire force. The fire force NEEds them to even exist basically (and the whole country needs their super power plant to even work) -I didnt get the licence to kill part. Yes they have a licence to kill infernals.. which is also their job... |
| So lieutenants Benimaru and Konro were pretty much shoehorned into the entire fiasco that is the Fire Force, putting into their hands a new company (that is Company 7). And that same region of Asakura is totally in ruins from Evangelists, with Shinra and Arthur in banks of rivalism. Such poor teamwork and typical shounen fare. Like come on, it was meant to be funny but somehow it missed big time. I don't really know how to feel about this episode...it still feels very stretched and far-fetched, hope this can get resolved soon. |
 |
| @WiselyKamelot So the Fire Force is Fire Fighters, The Government, and Hajima Industries? |
 |
| Good episode! The evangelist had starter their attack, Shinra and Arthur went to fight them, they need to get a better teamwork, but atleast they are a funny tag team! But at the end they managed to fight them really well, so the other guy suicided and probably will becamo a infernal to save the arrow! Btw, how was Arthur able to understand the Hika disgise! |
 |
| Nice, now that 8th is getting too close to the Evangelist now, and everything is burning now. Interesting episode as always, looking forward to the next episode. |
Water-sama said: @WiselyKamelot So the Fire Force is Fire Fighters, The Government, and Hajima Industries? The special fire force is originally created by an association of the church, the army and the fire fighters under the ratification of the empire. They quickly needed the support of Haijima industries and it developped in such a way that each organization had a huge hand in one lf the company (the church in 1, the army in 2, Haijima in 3 and fire fighters in 4). |
| How are people still watching this atrocious abomination of an anime? People who force themselves to watch shit need a new hobby |
| The fight scene had it's cool moments, but I hated the interruptions, as usual. I like seeing all this chaos unfold. I want to see how they fix everything. Shinra's whole "I'll come running to save you" thing always sounds really annoying for some reason. Also, I stand by saying that Benimaru is turning out to be a very interesting character. Obi's still my favorite though. Not gonna lie though. This anime is growing on me. I like it. It has it's problems, but I'm starting to look forward to episodes. It did have a bad start though, IMO. Also Reading through the replies, it's so interesting to see all the perspectives on this specific show. By that, I mean, some people liked the start more, some people like the later parts more, some people like the humor, others don't, and each episode tends to have completely different views on it. More so than other anime even. Just something I noticed.  |
Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Not going to lie, the first half of this episode bored me with the usual humor. Shinra's fiery temper still shows literally in both his attitude and abilities. It seems he just can't seem to get along with Arthur LOL. At least the action was decent I guess. Man you're on almost every new episode discussion for every anime. How do you evn manage watching all of em? |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I just want to see Shinra and Arthur work together more. They have potential. |
| - The legendary Courier |
| This series is certainly starting to pick up, great episode and fight scenes. Starting to like the guys at the 7th more and more. |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
deg said: have you miss our discussions about the molding of the faces and voices of the villains? the villain uses scientific terms in a pseudoscience way like heat affecting the blood vessels, lymp nodes if i remember right and other biological terms I didn't miss them, I just didn't buy the lowball asspull explanation to shove a certain title into a genre just because it uses technobable that makes no sense and only gullible and less enlightend viewers would buy and spread as gospel. deg said: and well im a manga reader and one of its genre tag here on MAL is Sci-Fi here https://myanimelist.net/manga/91037/Enen_no_Shouboutai and it shows even on the current arc on the manga there will be some science fiction stuff and pseudoscience explanations And this is also a site that refuses to change a demographic tag such as shonen out of the genre categories. Yeah, MALs credibilty is as good as Trump's when it comes to categorizing genres and tags. And funny enough the anime adaptation doesn't have such tag in the MAL section for anime. |
deg said: @Kimurah well ok just drop it then you clearly just going for intellectual elitism here rather than just enjoyment of fiction like this one and its shonen too that targets age rating of young kids and kids at heart like me Ah the typical butthurt fanboy rant "drop it cuz you're not a gullible fan that believes everything for no good reason" It's not intellectual elitism it's about proving something with ACTUAL evidence. You didn't even try to explain in terms why your hamfisted definition of sci-fi should apply here, you just repeated yourself in an empty soliloquy. That's not a good way to prove how a really stretched out fictional piece of entertainment should fit in a well stablished genre. The way the character allegedly manipulates capillar vessels in order to allegedly shift another character's face doesn't apply anything remotely similar to to science, it's no different from a psychic from Mob Psycho picking up an object or a person and tossing it with their psychic powers. Supernatural is the genre category that kind of action fits in. |

| Seems like the anime is going to get more intense now. Really want to see Shinra and his brother face each other. |
   𝓗𝑜𝓈𝒽𝒾𝓃𝒶 𝓘𝓼 𝓑𝓪𝓮 |
| The quality starts to get lower, hope the episode released today be better than this one. Feel like Beni gonna turn into a fire demon or whatever they call it. |
| Benimaru is my favorite but honestly, they made him look like an idiot in this arc and this episode where he's walking around wondering why everyone is having misunderstandings, confused the 8th brigade for being traitors and turning one of their villagers into a flame human, etc. He's the leader of his village, everyone relies on him, he is powerful [spoiler] and Shinra trains with him later on [spoiler] but was walking around like an idiot. Even in the manga, the arguments between Shinra and Arthur get pretty stupid and trite. It's the same recycled disagreements too. A lot of shounen have those two characters that always seem to clash but this is way too cliche. Overall, the animation was pretty good. The humor fell flat and probably isn't my style. |
| 臭い- |
| This show is a ton like FMAB. Shiny animation and poor action sequences. It's kind of good though, too, because the characters are kind of cool, which FMAB didn't have for most of its run time. It's dark, there's conspiracies, there's a grand order you must fight. Tons of inspiration from Full Metal Alchemist. Now we get a battle episode, should be fun. I admit the pacing in the first arc with star-eyed guy was way too quick but this arc is better written overall. |
| Ok, so not gonna lie, this series has really won me over. At episode 7, I was starting to lose interest because it was slow and didn't seem to have any real structure, but LORD, since episode 8 or 9, the series has really picked up. I loved this episode. The white robe dudes are straight savages. Beni is so badass though. I love how much trust and faith the townspeople have of him. Arthur and Shinra teaming up at the end was way cool. Is it me or has Arthur gotten stronger? Joint was tightttttttt! |
 |
| Man, he needs to catty a cellphone with him, for how long are they going to yell up for him? |
| I can't imagine how difficult it would be to follow this chaotic mess in the manga, but I really hate every second of my life that goes wasted on some of the worst "comedy" pieces I have ever seen. |
  |
| The enemies stop attacking when Shinra and Arthur started talking lmao. I don't understand this: the bad guy has the capability to create copies of other people with the exact same looks and voices but the episode didn't explain very well here. 2/5 |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Funniest thing is when Arthur kicked her in the face lool |
| The episode was entertaining, it confuses me a bit that sometimes Shinra looks like he has a brain and starts thinking about strategies, but then he throws it all away, along with Arthur, they got developed right from who knows where. Their intention is to finish with the 8th company, but they barely can maintain a battle against the rookies. |
 |
| Creepy old man got what he deserved. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Visually high impressive episode. The animation was so smooth but the backgrounds and the contrast of blue and red was stunningly beautiful. Where are so many questions to be answered regarding the evangelists. Though they could be a rogue organisation, it seems much more likely that they are religious fanatics with close ties with the Imperial Court. As with Rekka the Divisions could serve as their recruitment pool. So are they semi-legal and belong to the emperor or not? |
 |
| Asakusa area was from the 4th jurisdiction authority was surprising. So thats why his appearance kinda took some hostility over that 4th division captain. Finally the battle against the cult. Surprisingly they had the fire ability that can manipulate the face of his target. Such a creepy ability he had. Lol. While everything gonna be complicated and fall down as a chaos like the previous disaster, the cult tried hard to succeeded their mission, to eradicated the 8th division. They had a difficult time. With so much challenge appeared on that village. Tamaki had a more screen time of action there, by doin Iris job. Maki changed of fire will really adorable, despite her appearance was strong like ogre or gorilla girl. Lmao. And the star that late to shines there finally had their screen time of action. The rival partner, ShinraxArthur time. They needed to do some colaboration tactic to slained the stalker cult member. Such a great partnership they had after a long run episode knowing the fact of their rivalry and the heat of hate. They still could stand to each other nicely. A great development to both of them, in my honest opinion. Again, a smooth battle action animation and art was nicely done with a perfect touched. So, after the instant defeated by several movement of the duo stupid boy, the other duo cult member need to do some retreated. They actually couldn't do that until one of them initiated something terrible. How long they could survived the last encounter? Its seems finally Beni decide to joined the party. Welcome, then! |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| Definitely the best arc ever, this one with company 7. These white-clad are more like a cult, but, well actually, they are a cult but still the way they operate is really similar with Akatsuki. Even that joker guy, I'm not sure if he's with them cause he's kinda like with the Evangelists and kinda not but he sure has his own goals so definitely = Orochimaru. And Shinra's brother? Who joined them? Definitely Sasuke and ofc Shinra is Naruto. |
 |
| When Arthur kicked the impostor twin with the knee in the Face and everyone was freaking out lmao even while stumbling with their teamwork Arthur and Shinra managed to be a decent team in the end and beat the evangelist. The Good Knight pun from Shinra lol  |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
