Fire Force

Why is anything shounen related so cancer on Yea Forums? Fucking 15-year-old retards.

looking forward to seeing how DP animates this

Because people hate fun...?I mean, Soul Eater was full of fan service, why would anyone expect anything else? Freaking canon r63 manga chapter.

It's pretty good, one of my favourites of this season.

I don't think there's a lot of hate for it, but there are jarring issues hard to get around.
It's way too edgy, has characters with nothing working for them (arthur. usually a dumb character has a special schtik, just being dumb is not funny)
Animation work is pretty good, but breaks down sometimes for the sake of fluidity
Zero world building aside from a 2 minute explanation and spoonfeeding us with what we're supposed to concentrate on.

I still think it's enjoyable, but it's certainly not without problems.

>It's way too edgy
But that's the best part

Ah, i don’t know about the worldbuiling part, i felt like the last 3 episodes tried to give us a lot of insights. And it kind of showed us whatever badass qualities Arthur has, who I will admit is generally kind of annoying.

>It's way too edgy
>Implying is a bad thing.
Go back to your moeshit.

but you're a tripfag so it doesn't matter

Also I found out Okubo plans for the series to be at least 30 volumes, but no more than 50. That means we're about halfway through since volume 17 just released.

Well?

Second cour OP is "Mayday" by coldrain feat. RYO from Crystal Lake

Attached: EC55JS-UUAA9vKQ.jpg (1800x1200, 524K)

The manga has tons of world building, every arc keeps revealing new things. The way Ohkubo does world building is what makes Fire Force and Soul Eater so good imo

Can they top the current OP? The chorus is catchy as fuck.

Are they going to fight fire monsters again or is it just tournaments arc from now on?

>tournament arc
What? The series doesn't have any of those.

The manga is really boring. You'll like it now but there's a reason it never really caught on. It only really started getting attention because of the anime. I also don't think it's really anything speical as a story in general eitehr

>A mixture of "Soul Eater was better than this" (forgetting that Soul Eater needed like what, 50 chapters before getting even remotely good
This is some strong history revision. People liked Soul Eater like almost immediately out of the gate because of the manga's unique style and concept.

>People hate fire force?
No. I fucking love it.
this. anecdotally, I'm rather on the moe shit than on the shoenen crap show of side of things.

>Zero world building
What the shit do you want? Copy'n'paste crap lore à la Overlord or DanMachi, stolen all over the places, but mostly from wikipedia?
Worldbuilding is fucking overrated, and only shitshows that can't tell a proper story make excessive use of it. It's a distraction you morons.

Attached: 1656124412343.gif (611x720, 1.13M)

it has nice worldbuilding anyway, the anime just hasn't gotten to most of it

>Why?
-Extremely generic and forgettable battle shounen characters and plot
-Stilted pacing

This isn't notable enough to have a hatebase, most people drop it out of disinterest. Note it doesn't get threads outside of airing day unless someone it taking a piss.

Is the seven days of fire shot really still that iconic? God damn, long shelf life on that one.

I had agreed but since you're a tripfag everything you say is meaningless

i won't deny my inner 13 year old linkin park fan is pleased with it

not exactly what i was talking about, we know the names of things that exist, but not why or how

die in a fire

The manga has it. But we're talking about the anime.
They could leave out a few cuts of shinra's grinface and in about 40 seconds an episode let us know what we need.

>only one extreme or the other exist, there isn't any middle ground
yeah ok

>worldbuilding is overrated
i see that so is proper education in your household.

There's a chapter just about taking pictures for the annual firehouse calendar competition.
Get ready for bara.

It's nothing terrible it's just past the pretty lights it really is just another one of those and if you've had enough of those then you're probably gonna be turned off by the series.

Combine that with the fact that people get very upset when they feel like a show tricked them into thinking it would be something else and you get lots of negative flack.

Lol

still selling more than most manga in Japan right now. how is it a flop, faggot?

Because it's not. Fire, clover and stone are all fighting for last place while actually successful manga have 5x the sales. At least the latter two have actual fanbases in japan and the west though.

How is this any different from your average shounen show? It's a typical shounen through and through, downright to the shitty fan service and unfunny comedy.

>arguing over shit sales

He's just being retarded on purpose

What did people think it was going to be? I felt like coming out of Soul Eater it was pretty much what I’d expect.

Isn't it weird that this series was relatively unknown before the anime, especially when it is written by Soul Eater's mangaka? I didn't expect it already has 17 volumes.
I don't think I ever caught a manga thread, even now.

>i won't deny my inner 13 year old

Maki isnt really dork tho. Shes well educated and knows her etiquette from home.
Shes just hopeless when it comes to her El chica romantica side and some of her complexes.

Your criticisms are typical and unfunny.

Black Clover is trash

And your opinion into the trash goes.

>One Piece STILL at fucking number 1
OP is on its own level. There is nothing else that even comes close to it.
>Slime that high
Slime is such a phenomenon that it managed to get in top 10 best sellers last year, the only LN adaptation to do so. In fact, it has outsold the LN long ago.

So no different to fireforce

Just like this show is generic and unfunny.

Tipical doesn't mean unenjoyable.
And when the shonenshit that define the shonenshit "one piece" is the best seller, i really can't complain about people liking fire force.
There is a barely engaging plot, some entertaning moment, and the girls are waifu tier.
Not regretting the 3 minutes i waste to read a new chapters every week at all.

I like fan service as the next guy, but there is a point that fan service stops being sexy and comes across as annoying and grating instead, especially when it's not a ecchi/fetish show.
The average animeonly is not that informed. They wouldn't know the manga is made by Soul Eater's author.

Does no one else find the dialog in this show retarded?

you might just be autistic

Exactly

main character is an annoying faggot and I hate him
none of the other characters are really likable either.

this show is so nice looking too why would you waste time and money on this awful story with these awful characters

Come on, i could understand if in the middle of a space battle between giant robots, would appear a pole dancer that while twisting on her pole would destroy everything with rocket tits and vagina lasers. But a short smokey shower scene every few episodes while nothing happen is perfectly ok.

it's such a massive step down from Soul Eater it's impossible not to be angry at it, no matter how I look at it it's almost impossible to believe this came from the same author

>when the shonenshit that define the shonenshit "one piece" is the best seller, i really can't complain about people liking fire force.
Huh
You can't complain about something objectively shit? Alright

Everything about it is retarded.

>knight
>mmm
>KING knight
this shit is more repetitive than InuYasha

Still better than "soul eater NOT".
Probably something imposed by the editor cause it was the moeshit golden age.
Good thing the author decided to make a separate trahbin manga for that shit.

I legitimately completely forgot Soul Eater NOT was a thing.

>Obligatory beach episode
Funny how fanservice is always the worst in those gay beach and/or onsen episodes. I fucking hate that bullshit. Someone make it stop. MAKE IT STOP.

>the annual firehouse calendar competition
Now this sounds like something. But who the shit is bara?

Gay.

It's not great but it isn't shit, having a Shaft guy directing at least makes it look different than most shonenshit, can't understand who really hates it other than Kimetsubabies falseflagging.

>but there are jarring issues hard to get around.
I agree. However
>It's way too edgy
Fuck off, this is not a complaint.

don't care about it that much but my old man used to be a harbour firefighter and used to see someshit, and i'd rather watch a show about real firefighting

B-but i like little girls having tea parties...

>i'd rather watch a show about real firefighting
That's generally a really bothersome and just annoying crap habit of mandarine color by numbers writers
>pick super specific and interesting topic worth to be explored
>nah, scrap that, let's reduce it all down to aesthetics and do the usual good guy, bad cop shoenen from zero to hero bullshit
why. WHY.

>Zero worldbuilding
Bullshit. It just doesn't beat you round the head with it. In half a cour we've established that:

- spontaneous combined is a scientific phenomenon, or at least one that can be approached scientifically
- the government is a good old-fashioned blend of dictatorship, theocracy, and national socialism
- a new state religion was created, blending christian practice and imagery with the worship of whatever is making the fire happen
- like in the best-known example of national socialism, a great route to power is to become a large and important corporation/institution so you can gain the favour of the government and operate extralegally
- there are still zaibatsu
- the government has reinstated church orphanages, presumably because of the number of parents just combusting
- Tokyo district is one of the last bastions of humanity OR the churchgovernment is lying to everybody and they're all in a North Korea
- Fire-related superpowers are getting stronger with each generation. People know this, but don't seem to know why
- life for a civilian is pretty close to '90s Japan. This may be because of a deliberate drive to promote a sense of normalcy, like in Fafner

None of this is expositioned or data-dumped at you, it's just going on in the background and the characters don't react to it or point it out because it's the world they know.

You were making sense until Soul Eater

Jojofags will never learn

>like in the best-known example of national socialism, a great route to power is to become a large and important corporation/institution so you can gain the favour of the government and operate extralegally
So what is that best example? Because I'm pretty sure Nazi Germany didn't operate like that. Unless I'm overlooking something of course.

>Fire Force over Black Clover
I haven’t read the manga but I’m pretty sure that’s because the anime is hot garbage

Yup. Sounds like something shounenbabies hate it. An absolute snorefest.

How is it a stepdown? You're not making exactly a strong case here with your empty aimless bitching.

I binged it yesterday, its really fun

Is his brother actually alive?

That's Sho, not Arthur.

>Why does Yea Forums hate x?
Because its popular right now.

>Yare Yare Daze

yuru camp was allright in that regard, i suppose. they just camped and shit.

That’s Arthur, he’s fucked up in the head. Both parents went out for cigarettes and never came back. They just left a note saying he’s king of the castle. He was like 5-6 at the time, and the only book for bedtime stories was about King Arthur.

I love the ideas and the soul eater quirky aesthetic stuff, but I just think the characters are really really damn bad. I like the girls just fine though, but I can't watch a show just for that if it's a battle shonen.

Damn, you can already listen to the 2nd OP. That was fast.

It's legit bros.

MY FUCKING DICK

visually, this is kino. everything else about it is complete and utter shit. The source material is worthless and should be barred from harming the viewers fucking eyes

meh. what kind of prolo garbage is this? is this suppposed to be heavy? don't make me laugh. stupid poser crap. first one is so much better.

Fire force? More like kino force.
Because the show is fucking dead today.

>first one is so much better
First song doesn't fit at all with the manga content it'll be covering. And I dont mean the visuals.

So this is the Demon Slayer ripoff?

Na they can do it well and do it poorly. I liked in in Kill la kill cause it fit the theming well. If its
A: Actualy fucking hot and not garbo "Oh i slipped and touched her boob"
or
B: Works well with the pacing

its fine.

what I hate is shitty formulaic phoned in shit.

user, those sales aren't good. Especially for a series with an ongoing anime. It's even beaten out by series that don't currently have an ongoing anime.

5toubun ended like half a year ago and still does better numbers even without backlog sales boost like FF has. When FF backlog boost ends it will drop considerably. This reminds me of Black Cuckver fags defending their failing series.

So what. It's a great tune. The second one is shit. Utter shit. I thought that shit went out of style 5-10 years ago? What happened?

>forgetting that Soul Eater needed like what, 50 chapters before getting even remotely good
What an absolute revisionist bullshit are you spewing, faggot?
People loved first 50 chapters more than anything, it's post-Arachnophobia where SE went downhill because the author sold his soul to the moe gods.

I liked it more then Dr Reddit

I get it. Ep 1 hooked me, but the rest of the episodes have been hit or miss. Shounenshitters are always getting their panties in a twist over children's cartoons. Some people aren't going to get the hype and will get irrationally angry over shit that just does not fucking matter.

It doesn't help that Soul Eater's fanbase is largely people who have seen exactly seven (7) anime.

You can't fight fire with fire. Stop it.

>. The second one is shit. Utter shit.
nah you just have terrible taste
