Review of Fire Force Season 2
Fireforce Ni No Shou is the second season and continuation of the anime based off the manga of the same name by Atsushi Okubi. It continues straight after the first season's storyline where we are introduced to giant infernals that take are a lot harder to take down, while fireforce company 8 takes down these infernals and go on various missions, they stumble upon the white clad and the Evangelist that have started to set their plans into action, now fireforce company 8 along with the majority of the companies team up to take down the Evangelist once and for all. While this season doeshave some better fight scenes than the first one, ultimately this second season is an inferior product compared to it's predecessor. This season feels more like its a setting stage for the final confrontation of the fire soldiers and the evangelist rather than a continuation of the story, not to mention that I'm not hyped at all for season 3 nor their final battle if anything watching this season felt tedious, boring and annoying, I didn't feel that same satisfaction and entertainment that I felt from watching season 1, hell this season even made me consider dropping the show as a whole. It has the same jokes, same problems, same cliches that the first season has which applies to every shounen lol like power of friendship and give me power to protect my loved ones lmao, but back on topic this time it was done way worse than before. There were times when I was putting off watching episodes off this season, and I could have reviewed this last night but I didn't because I just didn't feel like it, looking on the bright side tho there are some fight scenes from this season that I enjoyed more than the first one, like the guy with tephrosis and Shinra vs Nataku Son, Juggernaut vs the two white clad guys, Joker and the company 4 captain vs the temple of Sol and of course the training arc on the last few episodes was also good, unfortunately these little moments that I liked ultimately did not manage to save this tragic garbage of a season. I also noticed that this season tried to speedrun it's source material and let me tell you that just doesn't work, the pacing in this season was just bad, which is a shame since the first one's pacing matched perfectly with the show's tone and atmosphere, while the second season's facing just didn't work out for it.
Pros:
-Greater fight scenes
Cons:
-Horrible pacing
-Shit OP and ED
-Tried to make another season one but failed really hard
-Story didn't progress instead acted as a lackluster setting stone for a future battle that's most likely not going to be executed properly anyway
-Ultimately ended up being more of a generic shounen than it's predecessor which is feat of it's own
-Failed in trying to hype up the audience for the inagural third season
-Less entertaining and fulfilling to watch
-Got boring
-Lackluster story
-The new characters they introduced where not good they were just annoying
-Shittier animation
-Recycled the same troupes and cliches of the shounen genre
Overall Fireforce Season 2 is a failure of a second season to a already mediocre shounen series, unfortunately this season has ultimately made everything that was salvageable about the first season dissapear for me, and now I'm strongly thinking about dropping this anime as whole. This season was a waste of time and some anime viewers may have even dropped this show by now, since let's face it if you don't stop watching by this point then you just have shit taste and enjoy dogshit anime. I give Enen No Shouboutai: Ni No Shou a 5/10 for my overall anime rating.
