Review of Fire Force

I'll start out by saying this. Give it a chance. I had Fire Force on my watch list for quite some time and I finally finished the first season. From episode 1, I immediately got the ever so classic Attack on Titan vibes. The theme of the show radiates many similar feelings I have gotten from many other shounen anime. "My family was killed and I want to avenge them by killing whatever it was that caused their death." But even though that is a very common theme as of now, some anime definitely portray and handle it better than most. This anime wasn't exactly one ofthem.

There were moments where I of course got submerged into some feelings, but other times the plot felt very expected and honestly kind of boring. The pace was also kind of all over the place and well as some of the events.

But even though this anime contains several negative things, there are also some positives.

The animation and the powers/universe given to the characters is very unique. There are some things that happen and moments that do get your heart pounding when it comes down to it. I also thoroughly enjoy most of the characters as well as the handful of humor that is in the show as well.

I am going to watch season 2 since I can't just leave myself hanging on season 1, since I do find that even though it's not the best anime, it does leave me wanting to know what happens next. If it's on your watch list do give it a try and don't just kick it off after one episode. I do believe that this is an anime that is not for everybody, but it's really not a terrible watch when it come down to it. You just have to get past some of the weaker points.
