Review of Fire Force

A show that comes across as very average but somewhat difficult to rate. There are some pretty good highs and some pretty annoying lows. It has some great animation during the fight scenes, there is some good world-building, interesting concepts, and good sound design. But accompaning that is some wack editing, uncomfortable framing, eye-rolling fanservice, and characters given the basic level of development. Regarding the framing and editing, it almost seemed like they were going for a monogatari-esque style. But they never fully commit to it and that style worked in the monogatari series because of the surreal and bizzare nature of the show accentuatedby the environments and visuals. This makes the show uncomfotable to view at times and takes away from its enjoyment. All-in-all, it was watchable enough with some pleasing fight visuals so I’ll probably watch the next season. But if the next season doesn’t improve upon the first, I may end up dropping the series. Closer to a 6 than a 4.
