The story is uninspired, you can tell that from episode one. The whole show seems to be a catchy gimmick that might be working to catch attention in the anime community but I highly doubt anyone will still be talking about this show five years or even one year from now. The characters are so plainly stoic, generic, one-dimensional, cookie-cutter archetypes that I felt like I was watching a parody of how generic anime can be instead of an actual show. I feel like this show shares a similar vein with Demon Slayer; generic story/concept, with great visual execution. The big difference being that Demon Slayer didn't make me sigh and groan with disgust whenever a character started speaking. Some of the writing in Fire Force is actually painful to experience. Maybe I'm just jaded as fuck from seeing the same tropes for so long, but I doubt that's the full reason I didn't like this show. I can still watch a tropey generic show if it tickles my fancy, but instead, this one spit in my fucking cereal.
4/10; probably going to beat off to the character they added just for sex appeal and then never think about this show again.
