Not sure why they took away the categories but this is a pretty interesting one to say the least. Major pacing issues, characters being one dimensional and general rushed plot development really hold this one back. I feel as though many of the best arts are lost between the lack of a build up with satisfactory resolutions. Black Clover does this really well as things begin to unfold over time that create intrigue into the world and its characters where fire force just throws it at your face. Characters will blatantly tell the viewer everything they need to know without much respect for the viewer or their commitment to growing with the show.
Fire Force however does have great action sequences with that same Soul Eater flare for character design and abilities. The MC Shinra is quite likable but lacks the depth of someone worth rooting for and whos conflict isn't all that relatable. Other highlights would include the lore of the world which is mysterious and intriguing as well as how character relationships will develop moving forward.
