when I heard censor I though... the'll use negatives or what... when I saw the censor on flames with some colour no so much pumped, the house in flames in black and white and the house for the practising with that obscuration/deminished colour scale I though ... well its enjoyable and they did the best. I dunno if the touched also some lines in the dialogues.

Keep going and a nice work to respect for KyoAni

Sooo what exactly was censored in the end? I didn't really think of it much when watching it


They should censor the fan service if they want to censor something.


Or, you could just not watch this since you already hate the manga.

alright episode, though was the groping really necessary? censorship wasn't as obvious as i had expected it to be, though of the scenes felt a bit choppy. joker's va is also pretty good.

ok that Tamaki girl is clearly the main fanservice of this show but Maki is still the best girl for me (so far)

the Joker villain lol is he like the Joker from Batman show like he is just too antisocial (or anti-society) or he is like the typical anime villain that believes in "the end justify the means" so he thinks killing people is a necessary evil

the nervous smile of Shinra is awesome as always too

im not gonna be surprise if because of profit (capitalism) reasons the businesses involving the Fire Force is holding on to the secret of the fire phenomenon

but damn the animation quality severely dropped to just an average animation this episode

and lol would you choose the red pill or blue pill Shinra? looks like he choose both for now

Well, since someone already clarified it was in the manga, I'm happy she's not just a fan service character on this anime. Also, the series is haivng a great progress. I'm really enjoying the development of the story right now. Hope it just keeps improving.

compared to episode 1? there is a significant animation quality drop especially with the so called artstyle (or technically character designs that some scenes have it rough)

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.

Joker looks straight out of Soul Eater. I like him. I also find his co-worker hilarious, how he stood in the audience with that huge creepy smile. Talk about not looking suspicious, lmao.

Tamaki is fine so far. I don't mind the fanservice, her powers are nice (the fire nekomata thing, I mean) and I like how Aoi Yuuki voices her. Looking forward to more of her scenes.

So, the villains are going to be the Fire Force corps themselves (other than Joker), aren't? I liked captain Obi in the previous two episodes, but my love for the character grew up after knowing that he truly wants to solve the problem with the Infernals, and that he made the Division 8 for that purpose.
Also, with the respect of the Fire Force (the rest of the Divisions at least) being the bad guys, so far the Commander of Division 1 doesn't looks like a bad person (for now), but I bet Shinra's brother will be an enemy in the future. The chance is too good to not take it.

@MegamiRem Not sure how that's offensive, lol. I'll still keep watching because I want to like the show. 3 episode's isn't enough of a sample size, though the characters being one-note is a huge issue and should be resolved fairly quickly. That being said, I like Arthur and Maki quite a bit.

Edit: Forgot to mention Tamaki's powers. So far my favorite of the third-gens

The animation of this anime is sooo satisfying, especially the fight scenes; that scene with Shinra taking on Joker was amazing!

I wanna know; how the fuck has the Fire Force functioned for so long when no one shares information and no one trusts each other?! Sounds super counterproductive!

I'm a Nanatsu no Taizai fan, so i'm no stranger to random groping scenes, but that was the most forced one i've ever seen. I don't even get how it happened, can someone enlighten me? I like the character though because nekos and Yuki Aoi.

Another solid episode though. I didn't really notice any censorship. I like how there's more to the MC's past than first thought as well. Not as simple as it first appeared.

When one of them is literally prolonging the combustions and the others are literally trying to stop them without knowing literally anything it is literally obvious they are in balance, literally, right now and in a literally covert war with each other. But the tables are about to literally turn as you get the idea.

How did they make so much fire without letting them explode when they escape?

Never said I stopped viewing it. But I will not protect it from any form of criticism or bashing as it is merely a yet another one. Royally disappointed.

I have to say, the girls in the Anime are sexy as hell! Tamaki is no exception. That groping scene though... Lucky Lecher Lure? I would have liked an explantion there. Also she's a catgirl, of sorts..

Animation is incredible again, Shinra's battle against the Joker was awesome! Joker is one skilled guy, eventho he has a lot of help with those ashes. So he made the whole place blow up when Arthur and Tamaki joined the battle. Seeing them being saved was awesome, Tamaki by her skilled Captain and Arthur just falling straight into the ground. That alone made me laugh a lot.

So something smells fishy within the Special Fire Force..

Talk about horrible fanservice. What was the point? Does the author think kids are going to like that?

The directing was shit and it felt moments were cut like when captain asks if Shinra is okay and it literally goes to you are a hero Shinra and he praises him. Then the akward scene with the captain and the old guy where he says you got a good man and its just there far too long.

I haven't read the manga, but considering it's from the Soul Eater guy, I'm not optimistic about the fan service ever getting "better". Apparently, Bones toned the pervert stuff in Soul Eater waaaaaay down pretty much from the get-go, but it doesn't look like DavidPro's doing the same here.

Glad to know I'm not the only one annoyed by the direction. I don't know if it's a first-time director or what, but outside the action scenes it's really lifeless.

I would give this episode a 4.5/5

Yeah, they did some censoring because of the terrible incident that happened with Kyoto Animation for respect, I just hope they don't get rid of important things to save their asses from upsetting someone. I have hope David Production will pick the right path.

The animation peaked and dropped throughout the episode. Best animation control by yours truly, David Production.
The fanservice was shoved down our throats, I just hope this doesn't happen often. I don't have an issue with it as long as they space it throughout the arcs.
The introduction of the villains and the fight scene between Shinra and The Joker played out nicely in my head. "Spilling" information to Shinra about his little brother being alive has opened many possibilities on how David Production can make it work.

No trashy endings, please.

Finally, Neko fire girl is here and she is hot (not as much as Maki, she is still number 1), in addition to Aoi Yuuki making her voice (Tanya Von Degurechaff).
Damn ... Maki looks so cute and elegant with that uniform.
Apparently Tamaki attracts the awkward moments, Shinra damn lucky, not only did he grab Tamaki's chest, he also grabs her butt.
The captain of the first company gives me a bad feeling and I don't think he has forgotten Shinra.

Shinra starts with a decent advantage and Tamaki doesn't accept this and shows us her pyrokinetic ability, Neko fire girl look good, the fire in her body look sick awesome.

Shinra enters the building and does not delay in meeting the guy we saw at the beginning of the episode and the end of the previous episode and introduces himself as Joker and he seems to know about the fire where Shinra's family died. Shinra's fight against Joker looks great, the animation stood out positively.
Joker defeats Shinra and when he see the creepy smile of Shinra, grants him a "gift" and reveals that his younger brother is alive, but this only upset Shinra and finally makes him angry by inviting Shinra to join him.
It seems that Shinra is not the only lucky one to feel Tamaki's ass, Arthur is blessed when Tamaki falls on his face.
Tamaki and Arthur end up joining in Shinra's fight against Joker, but the villain releases a huge amount of that explosive ash and retires leaving the three rookies in that dangerous situation, but in the end Shinra collaborates with Tamaki and Arthur and manages to flee in. time.
Obi revealed that the Fire Force is an organization that hides many things and is composed of several factions, the religious, the military and business and each of them hides information, now with greater reason i distrust of Captain Burns, apart Obi reveals the true purpose of company 8, to investigate the other companies.

Anyway, this episode was spectacular, nothing more to add.
We met three new characters who will contribute different things in different areas for the development of the story and the fanservice.
No doubt this guy named Joker left me very curious, why does he know so many things? Was he part of the Fire Force and deserted when he saw they are not honest? (This is a speculation, I have not advanced much in the manga)

HOO BOY this episode was really really good. A complete 180 from last episode's mediocrity.

Obviously the animation was stunning. Seeing Shinra in action was terrific, his break dance style fighting is so cool. The dialogue was also really funny.

The cat girl was super cute, hope we see more of her. I wasn't exactly sure what was going on when Shinra copped a feel, but I have a feeling it'll be explained later.

Now the conspiracy unfolds, Fire Force may not be as good as we thought it was. We could even have warring factions, which would be really interesting.

Damn do I love this show.

Such a great gesture to tone down some the episode to honor those who died and were impacted by the Kyoto Anime fire.

Eeek that fan service was a bit much. I hope that doesn't become the norm.

I like everything else about this episode. A hint a the past and a hint at where the story is going. I am definitely intrigued.

Fanservice is expectable from the same mangaka of Soul Eater, But damn, that Neko surely has bad luck xD. I agree that it was somewhat pointless tho.

And well, talk about Villains taking over. Seems like more shit is going down as I thought.

Loving all the fan service for Tamaki. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Action sequences were fantastic, loving all the fire animation and explosion effects. So cool. xD

Interesting that Shinra's brother might be alive and I'm very curious as to what the Fire Force is really hiding, good plot developments.
I also loved the scene where knight cut the ceiling and was like my strike were too beautiful to make the ceiling to fall. Made me laugh. XD

I've always been fan of Joker-esque characters, so that's cool.

Fanservice is always a plus in my book. I sure hope there will be more. In addition to fighting/rescuing, of course.

I agree the directing being weird. I'm not good at critical analysis of this kind of stuff but, besides the action animation, nothing in this show seems to flow right. Character interactions, scene and shot transitions, and shot composition all seem awkward and poorly set up most of the time. I don't know I can't put my finger on it but I'm just not enjoying this show as much as I would like.
