I'm seeing a lot of complaints about this show regarding awkward directing, unfunny jokes, no feels, low BD sales, Kyoto Animation Fire stigma, opening 2 animation is trash.

I'm seeing a lot of negative reception here, not much of a future for this series if that's the case.

Considering the extremely low sales it's very unlikely.

Yeah it doesn’t matter if the show is trashed on, all that matters is if it sells. As stated above, low sales so no season 2.

The premise is cool and the fight scenes are great, but something just feels off about this show. The timing of scenes is really weird, with all the weird static frames. I sometimes minimize this to check my internet connection because they'll pause on Shinra's face for 5 seconds with no sound and no movement. If there is a second season, hopefully they fix that

i say yes

a CrunchyRoll employee in Japan says this

Blu-Ray sales aren't everything for an anime these days, especially with streaming involved. Fire Force is currently free to download on Amazon Japan, and is on a lot of streaming sites here, including DMM.

and this is from a sakuga expert

In case you're wondering how would people watch Fire Force in JP if they're not buying home video releases, here's all the services it's streaming on in Japan:
(domestic streaming rights are same company as home video rights, so they benefit from this)

That was the plan. Wondering if they cancelled that considering the low sales.

no anime is safe anymore for being cancelled though just look at that original anime about tennis this season its like the first time an original anime was cancelled half way through the show

disc sales and manga sales are not relevant anymore compared to international streaming profit that is the new king right now

plus the manga sales of Fire Force got a significant boost like double actually

As mentioned above it's been confirmed now but just thought I'd add that I've since seen it officially advertised on multiple channels including both the JP and English language official Fire Force Social Media accounts.

S1 did not fail at all.
It didn't sell good on BD but it made a lot of money on streaming sites and the manga sells increased drastically because of the anime (almost doubled).
It's almost the same case as Dr stone, it didn't sale a lot of BD but it was extremely popular on streaming sites so it got a sequel.

I’m sorry what ? S1 didn’t fail at all ... it literally boosted the manga sales which it was meant to do . When will ppl learn blu ray sales do not matter to anime with source material , S1 boosted the sales by a lot , and the series is getting a stage play on top of S2 . Where’s the failure ? Fire Force was extremely popular on streaming sites

I didn't know that... it's reassuring to know...

I have been reading the manga for a long time even before the anime was announced so i was so sad seeing people saying that the anime has failed

But it turned out it's not the case so thanks everyone here...
