Story 6
I know that Fire Force isn´t a jewel in what talks about originality an cliches, but all the cliches are justified, not yet in the anime, but in the manga, so you don´t have to criticate the series only because is generic. If you´re expecting for something different don´t see FF. Seriously. But FF hasn´t exploated all its potential in the anime yet because they cutted some scenes from the manga

If we talk about animation, i have to say that i´ll take it as good, but is poorly distribuited through the episodes. The battles and the flames see pretty good, but in the talking scenes, you have the charaters talking in the same frame for more than 30 seconds. But something I hate is the focus onthe FANSERVICE (for those who don´t know, the fanservice in the manga equally frequent than in the anime, but there you can see is just a parody of the fanservice of the other series)

Thsi is the best point of the FF anime until now because it fits for every moment. The only problem that I have is that isn´t used frequently. But oooh god, the openings and the ending are too god (I prefer the OP 2 because it fits better for the series that the one)
Character 6
Well, in the anime we a have a cast a little bit cliche, and we hasn´t saw the profundization yet soooooooo.. be patient. Cliche doesn´t means bad.
Enjoyment 5
The ponit that I hate the most is the poor direction the anime is having sooo I´ll give you some tips about how don´t fuck up an adaptation:
1° Do not cut the dark scenes if you know they´re the essence of the original media
2° Do never sell Bluerays of an ongoing anime, specially if you´re on hiatus
3° If you´re gonna have hiatus, you could, idk, make it worth it improving the scenes, making they´re not just images or DRAWING THE FUCKING FACES (in the manga the faces aren´t drawen only in the small vignetes for not deforming the draw, but it isn´t difficult to draw an anime face in an animation, specially if is a static image)
4° Making battles see good doesn´t mean the animation is. Please, is DP, the have lot of money. Could you please make the characters move in the screen, please?
MEDIOCRE DOESN´T MEANS BAD. But I´m pretty dissappointed with the bad decissions of Yuki Yase as director. I understand that you could not have the best impressions of the anime, but give a chance to the second cour. Let´s see if the animation improves, because the sotry does in this arcs
