Fire Force: What went wrong?

No, really...what happened here?

This had all the makings to be one of those non-Jump battle shounens that could blow up worldwide:

>had a great studio behind it
>had a solid two-cour anime
>had a not bad story to go with that

Yet it seems to have died as fast as it came.

>fanservice dead in the middle of otherwise serious moments
Summed up 80% of the show for you right there.

A show where fan service killed it.

it's fucking terrible, literally everything about it is garbage

Even Black Clover is better than this.

If they simply deleted the girls it would be about 800% better.

Proof that Sakuga can't elevate shit characters and story.

It was generic in an non-amusing way.

Holy shit, faggot OP BTFO. Also cant wait for S2.

>fanservice dead in the middle of otherwise serious moments
Literally only the Rekka fight had this, faggot.

That’s retarded, if that was true then One Piece and Fairy Tail wouldn’t be nearly as popular as they are now.

>This had all the makings to be one of those non-Jump battle shounens that could blow up worldwide
No it didn’t, the characters are as bland as they get. The powers were also pretty boring.

>gay jojo faggots still seething
imagine being this gay. kino force is great.

lol no

Keep seething >S2 confirmed btw

Dropped after episode 5. I made the mistake of trying to read ahead in the manga only to realize it was shounenshit.

The main character is boring.
Ohkubo is better when he's writing crazy or retarded characters.

Why would a gay person be seething about a show loaded with gaybait dudes? Idiot.
Are you laboring under the misapprehension that I would be unhappy about this?

Well the Kyoto fire kinda fucked things up

OP... fire force is getting a s2

>Are you laboring under the misapprehension that I would be unhappy about this?
Are you one of the Jirenfags from the /dbs/ threads?

No.

people can only pay attention to a single character who shows up once and a while and then for even less time does something dumb and it INSTANTLY RUINS the show. Are y'all so horny that once a character shows any skin you instantly can't pay attention to anything else for the rest of the episode?

Sounds like you’re trying to imitate them.

You need at least room temperature IQ to do that, something that many anons lack.

The second opening was garbage and it made me stop watching it

jojofags are pissed that their show didn't get the DP deluxe treatment, simple as that.

Promare's rip-off.

cool. can't wait. that's just what i wanted. thanks DP.

This

Nah, heavy metal shounen ops need to come back. Also it being in english is a plus.

Yas Forums tier post.

Someone stole their idea but also made it better

>>had a great studio behind it

>>had a not bad story to go with that
Only the first one is true?

I dropped after watching 10 episodes. And I only watched this much just to be sure if it was get any good later, because this shit was pretty popular.
So, the main problems are not "forced" or "random" fanservice like some idiots says. That neko girls was supposed to be a character, but instead she's just a walking fanservice abomination, a totally wasted character.
Now about the story, it's too damn weak and random, they were totally trying to milk the non existent story with "good" animation and all.
And that's it. Wasted characters and no story.

It has a second season greenlit so it's hardly dead

The premise was both dumb and pretty restrictive. It takes effort to care about a battle shounen about fucking fire fighters. The worst part is how it actually takes such a dumb premise seriously.

Just needs more of the side characters doing shit like this:

Accurate though.

Both of those series established their fanbase well over 10 years ago.

Weirdly slow pacing for a seasonal anime really hurt it for me. I ended up finishing it, but I totally get why people dropped it.

>That neko girls was supposed to be a character, but instead she's just a walking fanservice abomination, a totally wasted character.
Wrong she meant to be a one-off gag but Mashima told Okubo that he wants to see more of her so he forced her into the plot

The overall pacing of the show was terrible imo. There were so many awkward pauses and unnecessarily long stills that it was just unexciting to watch until some action came. It's almost like they held back until Shinra vs Sho

Probably a problem on part of the animation budget, but even if the pacing was better I don't know if the show would improve that much.

No, it just needs more character development for everyone.

Based

Maki deserves to be on a better show so much.

Those two series haven’t changed much since they began.

>muh gorilla cyclops
She’s a shit tier one-dimensional characters. The others are just even worse, so she only looks good by comparison.

That's a good enough reason.

True

Not enough Iris

Is this some sort of hentai? All I see is scantily clad sluts with big tits posing assuming the position.

>had a great studio behind it
Studio can't do shit if the source material is fucked into being some generic shit
>had a solid two-cour anime
I honestly felt this worked against it, they started trying to appease too many people to fill that budget they got. If it was a 1 cour they probably wouldn't have tried to make it something so broad and stuck to more shit from the source.
>had a not bad story to go with that
It wasn't bad but you could see the signage on the wall far too early for being GENERIC FUCKING WE ARE THE BAD GUYZ? OR ARE WE?!?!? shit coming in episode 2

The fights were broken up with odd pantsu comedic shots that lasted too long or stole the thunder/scene around it. The story was far too forshadowing far too early, the MC wasn't too great, world building was kinda meh early on to where people got turned off.

Should have toned down(see remove almost completely), made it more focused on the world/conflicts, and tone down the obvious generic forshadowing. Fans also overhyped this shit way too far with "muh animation" and "BAsED STUDIO!", when the source material was too meh.

I couldn't even finish this show.
I'd rather rewatch IS.

Nothing? The show was amazing, stop measuring thing by how popular they are.

Because of the kyoto anime studio that burned down and killed like 30 people. It was extremely bad timing for a fire fighting anime.

Bland characters except for the sexy pink heroine.
Bland powers with no logical progression or relation to one another.
Based entirely on a dumb pun that's been done before.

I never got why I should care for any of the cast. What was I suppose to feel for any of the characters?

If Iris and Hibana were competing for the MC, then there would've been more interest.
