O.K., so about Fire Force, 4 episodes in:
Rhythm is also great and stands out from what I usually see in shonens. Sudden cuts to one scene to another, long sequences abruptly ended... I feel like the rhythm sometimes worked like film rolls. I love all of it. It contributes to giving the show a strong identity from the jump.
All in all, I like it a lot. Hope it doesn't lose its stride like Demon Slayer did for me. I quit watching in the middle of episode 21
Edit: why did I write so much?
- First off, on the fantastic artistic direction. The drawings are scrumptious. Each shot is delectable for real. The environments are very detailed with fineness, which makes the pretty long and numerous stills beautiful to look at. I wonder how much time it took to produce this and how many episodes they've already done, even if stills help in that regard.

- Atmosphere is off the chains. The settings are obviously very steampunk influenced but it's not overdone. You see clear touches of it, mixed with the traditional Japanese urban aesthetic that I'm accustomed to.
- The animation is excellent. I fukking love how far we've come in terms of animation. It makes it even hard to go back to old animes like Naruto for example, because we're so spoiled right now How many times do I see a scene in Naruto first gen where I'm like " this would be so fire if it was animated like Sasuke vs Orochimaru or the Kages fight". I don't know the number of episodes produced yet like I said, but I already know it's not a lot with an animation and drawings like that
- Opening and ending are great. Opening got the fire music, the animation and great fight scenes on lock. Action sequences and music also fit perfectly, and that's crucial to the rhythm and the hype of a good opening.
- Story is intriguing so far and I like some of the themes adressed, like how the firefighters can be considered murderers. In Episode 4, they chase a serial killer who calls them out on doing the same thing he does I wonder where they're going with this.
- Fanservice... is way over done. At least it's short but it's also regular. Episode 3 actually made me laugh with how overboard they went with it. Dude got his hand under a girl bra for no fukking reason whatsoever why is she even a firefighter with her fireproof jacket opened straight on the tatas This shyt was ridiculous. When she fell over his homie I was like lemme guess, he got his dikk in her by accident now
All in all, I like it a lot. Hope it doesn't lose its stride like Demon Slayer did for me. I quit watching in the middle of episode 21
when I saw it was going to be more fukking backstory on the trash ass vampire family. I don't care about them! What's the point?!
