Also I refuse to believe Tamaki was able to knock Maki out unless those were fakes too, sadly I don't have Arthur's eyes so I couldn't tell, but that was definitely a fake right? right? RIGHT!? don't be doing my girl Maki dirty like that.


This part really bugged me a lot

This show can never do more than one thing right. The animation was back up, but man, the dialogue, art and story... So bad and cringey. Especially some of the visuals. The fucking feet and smiles...

Damn, this episode's animation was great, the fight scenes were great, especially with Shinra and Benimaru. Shinra's hallucination and Benimaru's explosion was the highlight.
5/5 Episode.

Damn, the Animation was fire this episode! Benimaru is seriously too Op as well! Deflecting those relentless attacks so effortlessly like that at the start of the fight was incredible but taking the fight to the sky was dope to see was another level of awesomeness right there! Lol @ Beni chilling with the arms crossed during the little 'princess ride' scene and Shinra losing it in the end, those sure cracked me up for some reason. Hika and Hina's transformation to the fox girls though, damn that sure felt off timing-wise but was pretty hilarious nonetheless.

A little curious-striking focus on Shinra though. What the heck was up with the delusion of those legs, yikes. And did his leg just respond to the Lieutenant's pleas, how does that work?

Anyway, we're finally going to enter the second cour from next week. I'm definitely going to miss this Op & ED for one but here's to hoping what's to come (Op, ED and more of course) will be even better!

Every fight scene with Benimaru is fucking god level! He is by far my favourite character in the entire anime.

I really have a soft spot for Hina and Hika too. I thought they were just gonna be cutesy background characters but they're just as fucking cool as Beni! They're for sure the next generation leaders of the 7th!

Your comment is almost a insult to all the hard work put into this episode by the staff, you literally don't know what you're talking about and is sad that you think you know...

Captain Benimaru's fight against the demon, at least, the final attack was very epic, what a great demonstration of his power. No wonder he is called the strongest fire soldier. What a peculiar measure Benimaru took to eliminate the confusion of the people, "fight each other", hahaha.
I am glad that in the end the visit from the eighth to the seventh has not been in vain, and that both of them began a friendship. Unexpected smile from Benimaru, hahaha 😁.
Anyway, great episode.

Ps: I wonder if Shinra had those hallucinations because of the shock that caused her to remember her mother's death or due to Adolla Burst.

Well, this was a great episode.

I have to say, Benimaru is awesome. He's just too powerful. That last attack of his was insane.

I loved the way Maki and Tamaki knocked each other out.

We will be getting a new OP and ED next week.


I'm actually a bit sad about getting a new OP and ED. Mostly the ED. It's such an addictive song! I think it would have been better off as the OP, honestly. I'm gonna miss letting the episode go off without skipping..

Anyway, I think this episode was well worth the watch. The Evangelists found out that Shinra has the adolla fire that can devour humanity. I'm curious how that's gonna build into the larger story.

The animation was amazing, my only nitpick is that scene of Shinra carrying Benimaru with his arms crossed looked a little awkward to me, not the scene itself but the animation in a way? I can't put my finger on it but overall the animations was pretty awesome.

One of the reasons why I like Benimaru is because of his awesome fighting style, his Nichirin is my favorite. It's both a powerful, beautiful and eerie at the same time. Gonna be honest, he's one of the few characters that kept me reading the manga and watching this show. Shinra just doesn't pull me in enough.

One thing they removed in the Anime was a gay guy who had a crush on Benimaru, a very minor background character who said that if his house was destroyed, he wanted to live together with Benimaru. Benimaru tells his men to make sure said gay fellow's house was sturdily built no matter what. I was kind of waiting to see him but never did.

Now that you said that would you consider it as character development?

Like if we analyze what was going on it started with konro sacrificing his fire powers to save asakusa by defeating that demon he faced and then when the empire decided
to make them into a fire fighter division if konro was ok he would had been the one who would have been the captain but because all this happened he kinda forced benimaru to be the one.

We have see benimaru not liking that much of the idea of been a captain or something but after all this in this episode we see benimaru stepping up and doing his 1rst steps into accepting this whole leadership he was given so yeah i think we could say that he had some development on this part he accepted his responsibilities and start taking initiatives instead of asking and waiting whay konro will say and
he made the steps konro was waiting this entire time towards been a leader to them.

A really cool episode with great character development and thematic narration. Overall, one of my favourite episodes.

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?

Kimetsu no yaiba tanjiro lines are like 99% related with the safety of his siter nekuzo to the point he is very annoying especially when you know his sister is strong enough to to fight by herself without any help and win plus when tanjiro chopped the lower moon spider's guy head i kinda cringed a lot or when the butterfly lady came just in the right time to save
the lighting breather guy but hey people called those cringe moments amazing but when the same stuff happens in fire force they tell the story in fire force is bad...

You might not believe me, but I am saying the same thing about Kimetsu no Yaiba. Rather, I am more supportive of THIS series, Enen no Shouboutai, than I am of that empty shell of Kimetsu no Yaiba.

I will tell you both are bad so that you do not fall victim to a cognitive dissonance. However, Kimetsu no Yaiba is even worse off in terms of story and storytelling. Anyone willing to bathe in my adamant integrity is welcome to check my input on Kimetsu no Yaiba forums.

It is left to the Company 7's captain, Benimaru Shinmon, to eradicate the remains of the Infernals and the Evangelists in Asakusa. Definitely the sense of realism and strength overpowering. A fight festival? Nah, I'll pass. This town and townsfolk of Asakusa is definitely very interesting so far.

Shinra is rudely awakened by what happened in his childhood, of the scenes 12 years ago. Nevertheless, with Benimaru avenging for Konro, and Shinra-Arthur tag-team drowning the Evangelists in a 7th and 8th Company joint effort, pushing each other to their absolute limits.

In the end, Company 7 is the 2nd company to join Company 8 in the valiant search to cut down the Evangelists. Watching Benimaru smile was just the icing on the cake, even though reading this in the manga felt very hideously devilish, but the anime was the same way, but one of reassurance.

What I find impressive is not only the amount of sakuga animation, but also Shinra's reasoning for himself: having the Devil's Footprints doesn't mean that he can turn to the ways of the Devil, but becoming a hero instead of his advocacies of fate.

Truly this series' best so far. And that wraps up the Asakusa arc!

The episode was great. Good animation, and Beni showed what he can do. I really don't know why people complain about this anime so much. The characters are fun and interesting, literally there is action in each episode, the music is at a high level, so what's up? Ecchi is annoying but focuses mainly on Tamaki. People are not bothered by ecchi in other series, which are, for example, higher in the ranking, and so here ??

That Asakusa arc was pretty good and enjyed the action as well. Benimaru sort of saved the series a bit for me. Hopefully, he stays relevant in future arcs.


I agree. When he showed up, the series really took a nice step to the next level.

Another great episode.

LOVED the Beni fight.

Amazing fight. To think that all of this to take on a demon, Shinra will have to step up his game, no, all of the 8th should. It seems that Shoo also has this type of flames that Shinra does. It is going to be an interesting fight.

"Daisukidesu" was the best moment of the episode and that says something. With this show feeling like a slower Ao no Exorcist, I wonder if the latter didn't succeed only because it's monthly schedule that doesn't work very well with continuous anime adaptations.

Action scenes were great and stylish, no matter what, that’s the aspect in which this anime shines, the flames and the movements looked impressive. Benimaru’s idea shocked me, just fight each other, it’s a battle royal, what a solution. So, Shinra had this strange sensations in his feet, and Arrow said something about discovering a second demon, wtf.

Quite the show in many ways. I rather have the twins than tasteless fanservice, the last 2 episodes were much better without it. The evangelist's way of talking suggests that they are indeed a parallel organisation that also servers the emperor.

Yeah, Shinra how about being a little less rude? At least he doesn't have a set of those creepy teeth of yours.

Beni had a massive amount of power that could bring the color of moon into Akatsuki's stated. No joke with his statuses as the strongest warrior of the special fire forces. Still, i got some new information about the holy flames that Shinra had. Its about the Adolla Link, that make some weird feeling Shinra had while encountering the Oni form of cult member changed. Its pretty interesting, the story got much expansion.

Unfortunately the whole investigation job was a complete mess. They couldn't bring anything for the progress of founding the Evangelist. What a wasted of time. Atleast, now the 7th division took the friendly side for the 8th division as they helped them so much. Especially with the last Shinra attempt to saved Beni from a nonsense arrow. Adolla link, thats a named while Shinra felt the tremble on his Adolla burst. Interesting. An exponentially alliances after a great win at 5th division hearts. Yeah, finally some real progression had been made....

So lets see how Obi's planned after their complete disaster in Asakusa. Could they find more hint?
