| Amazing start, visually this was a pretty awesome treat to my eyes. Really liking the art style and animation so far and seeing all the comments here that there's a lot of ex-shaft animators invloved, this shit is LIT! Also, already loving Maki, gotta love them eyes! So hot  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

Holy shit, this discussion threads are always the same. Do People really think that the word "generic" is a fair criticism? Lol you sure don't read books. Everything can be called generic because it's fucking 2019 and EVERYTHING'S BEEN DONE YET. And it's just the first episode. You think you are intelligent and "critic" when repeating the same stupid adjective for every first anime episode. But you are not, you just look like wannabe critics. "It doesn't anything new" and how is it bad? Remember that Agatha Christie didn't add anything new to the premise of her genre, and still she is the best writer of detective stories. But you would just call her "generic" LOL The episode was fine and the animation Amazing. I do not criticize it for generic, but for being mediocre. |
| I can’t wait to see the reason why these people caught fire. I’m so intrigued by that. |
 |
| Chance to be AOTY in my eyes. The opening and ending were really good, the premise was cool, and the animation was top notch! Great first episode. |

| The opening song is really good but I don't think that the sound matches at all with the animations, also, I was thinking like it's kinda unnecesary to rush everything in the first episode, like her mom and brother's death, the explanation of whatever the enemy are and how they spawn, and pretty much the ending is the "sister" story. It was good anyways. |
 |
| The animation is simply outstanding. Everything else was meh. |
"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." |
| love how stylish this anime is. characters are very likable, the setting looks dope, visuals are beautiful, and the soundtrack/score is godly. I'll give this episode a 5/5 hype is real, hope it continues |
| HOLY ANIMATION!! The mc is charming and the rest of the cast seem interesting too. It hasn't sucked me in as much as Soul Eater did, but i'm looking forward to more of this. |

| Holy.. the animation and visuals are incredible it looked a lot like bones. Character design looks good, its very rare for me to like the spiky teeths but it fits the main character. Maki hat is adorable. Also good ending song. |

| Holy mother of god that animation was orgasmic. Lets hope they keep it consistent. |
| I find it a little interesting that so many people are praising the visuals. Yes, there are some great scenes, but they clearly are saving up for those by using a lot of stills, limited animation, and other shortcuts. It gives everything a choppy feeling and makes it all feel a bit cheaper. |
| I think what I'd describe this episode as is clunky, but enjoyable. Getting out all that backstory in one episode felt a bit much and at times it really hammers its main theme, but it's still a lot of fun so far and oh man the animation was great generally. This might be my "style over substance" show since while it does seem to have some interesting story beats, at the moment it's hard to say that's why I'm here, since the delivery in this episode at least was a bit off. Still, will definitely keep up with it for now. |

ovo4 said: uninstallthegame said: Sarazanmai had better animation? You sure about that?not a bad start. the animation was good, and overall seems like a pretty faithful adaptation sarazanmai had even better animation than this, but the story was shit. at least here i know the source material, so i won't get disappointed ok, let me clarify what i meant. the animation of the battle scene is on par with sarazanmai, the fluidity and dynamics are there but overall it is slow due to it being 2 different types of anime. fire force feels slow at start to develop a bit shinra's character and introduce other ones. just as you pointed out, the rumors say it will be 50+ eps, so it has time for that whereas sarazanmai is just 1 cour anime with ikuhara at the director's seat. the staff at mappa went nuts with the dynamics, every episode felt so energetic so yeah, overall sarazanmai wins in the animation department. not by a long shot, but it's still better |
 |
| Cool visual style and well animated, not a lot of promise outside of technical quality but it's watchable. |
| This was pretty fucking amazing tbh. The OP and ED really set the tone for what's to come. Might even be better than soul eater lol. |
| The premise is super generic, but the visuals and the theme being built around fire fighters adds a lot of flavor to the show. Will it manage to be more than a lot of well done flashy action? We'll see, but the show had a pretty great introduction here and I'm really curious to see where it goes. |
| This made a much bigger impression on me when I first read the manga. Opening is lit! |
 |
| the opening is so awesome but can't get behind the premise...fighting fire with fire literally |
 |
| Not counting Vinland, this is most likely going to be AOTS The season so far as been kinda meh, so seeing this really makes me fucking happy <3 |
 |
| So this anime is pretty much this. XD https://youtu.be/AUhF58Kp9uA Context: Its a gag from Family Guy where a firefighter showed how they fought fires with their bare hands before the invention of hoses. Also damn the dub is already out. |
| I used to be a watchmaker. |
| Holy shit, how is David Pro handling JoJo consistent Quality with such a Sakuga animation for this anime? absolutely marvelous! That alone sold me, I hope its able to maintain its quality and of course, I have high expectations for the plot, hopefully it doesn't disappoint, it has a lot of room for character development. |

| This is what you get when you have talented staff, a generous production schedule, and producers that actually give a shit about the quality of the series. An absolute visual masterpiece. As for the content, eh... it's alright. Fire Force doesn't go full Soul Eater-level whack until 80 chapters in, so it's gonna take some time to get this series to the quality you'd expect from Okubo. Still, it's gonna be a fun start! |
 |
| remember trying to read the manga but never heard much fuss about it nor it being as good as soul eater but once i saw the PV i thought maybe this is one of those shows that will get elevated from the source at least with action alone it looks amazing ,granted we got mob this year showcasing a good team with a good schedule can produce episode after episode of consistently good animation and this first episode hopefully is just the beginning of some awesome sakuga props to them doing a anime about fire it must be hard to animated that in interesting ways. episode it's self was very shounen not bad very quick and bash it's points on the viewers head quite a bit but these kind are slow burns so ill be checking it out for action if nothing else. |
 |
| I didn't expect an action shounen series, but oh boy was it good. I didn't check out the tags, I thought it was a drama kind of anime but I was wrong. Any ways great start and the animation. |

| Woah, this looks really cool and interesting. Haven't seen a badass firefighter anime. |
 |
| The ED is very good as well, very catchy |

| Wow, that OP is wild and really gets you pumped. Superpowered firefighters is definitely not something I've seen before and adds quite a bit to otherwise pleasant, but generic setup. Show look it's gonna a lot of fun to watch particularity on the battles and of course there is Maki. <3 So yeah, count me in unless it takes a massive nose dive in he next 3 episodes. |
| This episode felt a bit rushed to me but it was still a lot of fun. The visuals are even better than I had hoped for and the VAs are great (Kazuya Nakai especially). |
 |
| This was quite good. And yay for that muscular, toned girl. |
| The art and animation is top class, this looked crazy, also them muscles Maki! *_* |
| Visually stunning first episode. The premise seems quite generic, as expected, but I found it really entertaining so far. I also love the characters design and Shinra, as an MC, is pretty likeable as well. Overall and leaving the visual aspect aside, this was a pretty decent start. Really looking forward to the next episode! |
| Dropped, I also dropped the manga a few months ago. I just dont like the character, especially the MC, maybe I'm too tired of this "Gonna be a hero" type of MC. 6/10. |

Trainer_Green said: I definitely understand the hype around the anime, I for one was totally ecstatic when I saw the release of this show, and now all I want to do is blow my non-existent life savings on the manga. However was the first episode worthy of a 10/10? Eh. no. The first episode I found was rather disappointing. We got all the information we needed from a first episode. Characters, plot, and setting. Episode one is all about setting the stage, however this show decided it's time to go over board with the backstory dropping. I understand the writers want us to feel and sympathize for our character so that we will be more than likely to root for him as the series progresses, but talk about forced writing. A backstory should be delivered slowly and piece by piece. We learn more about a character while also watching him mature and grow. Once I have his life story pieced together around 3-5 or so episodes in, I'll be much more satisfied rooting for him. However this kids entire backstory was dropped into my lap in the first episode. "I'm already full from the context you've already given me Funimation" but all Funimation says is "EAT MORRE." I'm all for this show and I'm really interested in watching future episodes, but understand that interrupting a hype fight scene to input a sappy story about why my guy is in his situation in the first place is what we call LAZY WRITING. The episode literary had 3 minutes of flashback and you don't want any feelings attached to the character?? I don't know about this.. what do you want hollow shells?? And in case it wasn't obvious, they haven't given anything out yet. They will piece by piece as you said. This was a great introduction. Great music and great animation. |
| That was a really solid first episode. Liked the opening and ending songs as well as the animation. Looking forward to next week! |

| Not hooked on the story yet but am interested to give it another episode |
