Review of Fire Force Season 2
The way Fire Force does things isn't a linear sort of progression that is common in most works of fiction but instead it progresses like putting together a puzzle, first we get the edge pieces, the different organizations, groups, and elements of the story. These parts give us the starting information that we need, from here we move to the middle pieces where we are presented with little snips of information about the world here and there instead of being hit with all of one plot point at once. The reason fire force is so phenomenal is because the world is complex and well made.As we continue through the franchise we learn more about the way Adolla works and how the bad guys are controlling things from the background. We as viewers know only what Shinra knows and so as we follow his character we pieces things together and eventually we will see this big reveal where the last piece goes in and everything falls into place. In my opinion, its just a matter of time.
Rating the Anime off of each individual part here are my ratings
Story
The universe of Fire Force is not a linear narrative like most shonen and that in my opinion is what sets it above and beyond. We know nothing. The characters know nothing. The engaging part about this show is how much we need to know before we can figure out what the hell is even going on and that what makes it so exciting, The plot of this season (when being pushed) was amazing, there were a few parts about it that annoyed me a little bit like how much time they wasted doing random stuff and how annoying that mole was but during the important plot moment this show was fantastic
7/10
Art
The animation and art work in Fire Force season two has lived up to the previous season if it has not gone beyond. The animation is fluid and the fight scenes are extremely fun to watch. I would rewind constantly just to see that satisfying kick, or that crazy explosion. The art style feels simple yet stylistic which gives it a nice feeling, its has a personality to it. The combination of these two things is a sight to behold.
10/10
Sound
The ops and eds for this season were well made, the first opening Spark-Again was wonderful and the second, Torch of Liberty was also a solid op. Outside of that the background music did its job but was nothing too special compared to other modern titles like Demon Slayer. I really liked how we got to hear Inferno again in this season because that op was a bop.
8/10
Characters
Shinra had phenomenal character development in this season and Arthur was still fun to watch. On top of that I really like how much growth we saw from Tamaki as she finally did something that wasn't just sitting on her butt half naked, hopefully next season we get to see more of her growing and using her power to its full potential.
8/10
Enjoyment
I really liked this season but I feel like it lacked more growth of the Adolla abilities that Shinra had compared to the first season and I would have loved to see more of that, on top of that I really hated that stupid mole from the second Amaterasu arc.
8/10
Overall I give this season an 8/10 It was pretty good but it was held back from being perfect due to its pacing issues and how late most of the major growth happened also that stupid mole I hate that dumb mf
