Let me preface by saying that this review will just be a wall of text for now, as I am at my internship and am not going to look for anime screenshots on here. I will also say that this review is a mix of subjective opinions, and "objective" opinions. Objective being the story quality and such, they're not really objective but I have no other way to differentiate them.

Scroll down for a TL;DR.

ＳＴＯＲＹ（5／10）

I'm not going to talk about the premise here, I like jumping into anime blind so for others who want to do so as well, this is just for you ;).

It's a very simple story, and very obviously shounen. Mostly consisting of fighting and getting better, really nothing special. The world is pretty interesting though, with fire departments all being completely different and having their own secrets. Like always though, the villains' motives are dumb as hell, and just there to be villains. It's realy nothing special and that's good, I don't care, it's a battle-shounen.

ＣＨＡＲＡＣＴＥＲＳ（8／10）

This show is full of characters, and especially the 8th fire department has a great dynamic. Shinra and Arthur are both dumb as hell, and I love dumb characters so their rivalry antics are extremely fun to watch. The other characters in the squad are cool too, although Maki's one and only joke is very stupid. Aside from the 8th department, the other departments also have fun characters, like Hibana. She has big tits.

(best guy is Benimaru, love him and his squad)

ＡＮＩＭＡＴＩＯＮ （8／10）

This is where Fire Force really shines, the fight scene animations are top notch and shine all the way through, in every single one. Just watch the first episode and be amazed. Shinra's jet-fucking-engine feet look incredible and all explosions look beautiful too.

The reason the animation does not get a 10/10 is because of the scenes outside of combat. This is where it's very obviously the Shaft people animating/directing it. (If you didn't know, many people from Shaft moved to David Productions, and worked on Fire Force.) You've got this awkward conversations where there's just a static image of them far away, blank faces and weird close ups straight out of the monogatari series. There's a lot of talking, so you'll see this a lot. I don't particularly mind, as I love Shaft, but it is still awkward and can be at least decreased to a degree.

ＳＯＵＮＤ ＡＮＤ ＭＵＳＩＣ（9／10）

Yes! The sound! It's good. it's good sound. The voice actors deliver their lines well, I really have nothing to complain about.
Shinra's fire sound are just jet engine how cool is that? Fucking cool. It's fucking cool.

The music is awesome too, it's got this orchestral feel to it and an awesome leitmotif that keeps coming back and I fucking love leitmotifs. It's hype, the OST is hype. Thank you. Goodbye.

ＣＯＮＣＬＵＳＩＯＮ (tldr?)

Good shit, I definitely recommend watching it. The battles are fun and cool, the animation is fluid, the soundtrack is fun, the voice actors are good, the world is interesting, the story is not. Thank you for reading this shitty review!
