Video: “This is why I like Fire Force”
Lmao deadazz fr 😂
Thanks for saving me time bruh.
Fr bruh 😂
Jus started the vid nd it was immediate like wow
The manga gets so good the anime didn't even get to the best part
more like cringe fan service
Yeah seriously I can’t wait to see the Arthur vs dragon fight
@@cheemslord9917 bro is mad at what they have in almost 99% of anime they straight gooners bru
@@5starw309 Wtf does this comment even mean? Do you even know what you are saying? This generation is doomed
@@eruptorr9103 nga use your brain
I am still waiting for Fire Force to get a season 3 since i have not read the manga
You should the manga is amazing
Season 3 was announced about a year ago, though we're still waiting on more info.
Just stick to the manga it is better if a bit long.
@@s3studios597 it was announced in 2022 to come out in 2023, we aint getting s3 sadly
@@bertschnitzel1559 they never said it would come in 2023, probably they are holding the season for the 10th anniversary of the manga (which would be in 2025)
What they actually said in 2023, was that production had begun
I would definitely rate the fireforce manga atleast like an 9 or even 9.5. though, the anime is still very good despite the fan service(which is not much of a bother for me) personally everything in fireforce is the closest thing to my favorite manga/anime. The pacing,the art,the story, panelling and almost everything is top tier.
Fire force fr needs to be more recognized
I really like how you put it here. Something about FF isn't just a great/9.5 manga generally but a personal one that hits all the right notes for me
Also i would say its grat literature on , oh god not only treligions beliefs and cult, but the existencialist philosophic shown and its great, its so great executed and gets so good , and makes sense despite being crazy, and is so well done philosophical as well.
And about existencialism, nihilism and hope and , how to deal with in an apearent doomed conflicted world that most people dont care to fight to make better, why its still important.
Ok its so great on a literal level. And i put the bit slow burn on its a great done mystery as well, and you gotta set up stuff and show before the other show drops, and, its still fire once benimaru comes in.
@@marocat4749 Yes, the mythology is INSANE! It's easily one of my favorite "lores" to fascinate about, like how each character represents a different human concept (this is freaking genius btw) love all the little mysteries and secrets connecting together to make such a satisfying whole
@@chi2884 Yep and the same time hoew its about still fighting and meaning and existing , and , how that gets literal in the last part show the power of belief, all kinds of belief and hope. Especially when its hopeless.
Its really impactful, and great written mystery coming together.
Gotta read more manga if Fire Force is a 9 in ur book
I love Okubo’s style of making characters represent concepts and ideas and then having those ideas and concepts clash.
The art style for fire force is a great improvement and a very refined style from soul eater. And I think fire force to me has the better story and the better ending but it also when you connect both soul eater and fire force they make each other better.
Ah love the ending
And how shinra changes so many stuff in the world to his own liking and knowledge
Then there’s me who actually started watching it just for the fan service
A fellow man of culture
recommend coming in clutch I just started my reread of fireforce 2 days ago 😂
Arthur my goat
Fire Force is my favorite manga ever and made Ohkubo my favorite mangaka of all time, despite not being that big of a fan of Soul Eater. I know it has its flaws like some loose plot lines and mainly focusing on its male cast members, but the manga just resonated with me, it felt really personal.
The story and art are so creative, especially in its last third and the philosophy was really interesting. Not only the parts where they focused on life and death, but also human nature itself and how we see other people like Tamaki.
Its slow beginning is probably my least favorite part, but the mysteries and the twists it leads to are absolutely worth it.
tldr: I never would have guessed that a battle series about fire fighters would be so thought-provoking.
The total removal of Tamaki would've done wonders for the series. I and many others dropped the fire force manga early in it's run strictly because of her. And I am so happy that I decided to give the series another go around the time the anime got announced because it ended up being one of my all time favorite manga out there. Easily eclipsing Soul Eater in scope and writing. The power system is so creative, the world building is amazing and Ohkubo's ability to draw amazing fights is rivaled only by a few artists. And he topped it off with an ending that is not only good but vastly outclasses almost every other shonen ever.
Nah. Tamaki's inclusion is based and 100% justified narratively and thematically.
@@s3studios597Nah. I could've done without her entirely. Blair is the better Ohkubo catgirl by mile.
@@SushiGhost97 Tamaki was awesome, cry harder.
I agree she’s a fun character but she’s unnecessary they lost so many fans because of her
@@tinysandwitch343 the only reason I stuck around for as long as I did back then was cuz I was a huge fan Ohkubo. He is my favorite manga artist of all time, and I knew he was cooking something special in the long run, but I dropped it at the time so that I can binge a bunch of chapters and so I can glaze over all the Takamaki fan service scenes without worrying about a weak chapter for the week. She was very funny n likeable in the peninsula arc. She's much cuter when she isn't dragged down into weak fan service scenes tbh.
It was a fun anime and I'm waiting for season 3.
Am I imagining it is background music from Shadow 05?
My youngest son goes to school with the son of the author out here in Osaka. Super chill guy.
I will forever love the author for how they responded to people complaining about the fan service. It was the most creative verbal smackdown I've seen in a manga ever.
What happened?
@@Luh_katkatbasically had a whole fan service fight. And called out characters for being upset about sex appeal.
Just try reading chapter 280-281.
Yes and I will forever remember him as the author who assassinated his own character to spite everyone. I will be honest I forgot she even existed liked the manga but not her.
@@oneeyed9579 nah, you just have a pathetic axe to grind, sucks to be you tho
holy shit that kid just erased his mom from existence 😭
Tamaki’s fan service resulted in a pretty good fight in the manga though, so it’s fine by me
I just recently finished it and wow man i absolutely love it
I finished it not that long ago too and enjoyed the power system a lot plus characters are a jam also the ending was nice and connects to Soul Eater which is sweet. With the fanservice thing I think it's used in an effective way more often than not but man Beni is the best
Even lisa, i love how she later, she uses fire tentacles as power and gets to own it, not jspmething be subjected to, same as tamaki and later, she owns that gradually to, defeat assault who is crazy strong in reality.
Also maki and obi, great done fanservice. I mean even tamaki improved a lot.
Soul Eater was my first ever anime, so I was quick to hop on Fire Force when the anime dropped. And honestly, I'd rank Fire Force above Soul Eater in many ways, even if there are some things Soul Eater did better. Honestly I've never really been bothered by Tamaki and her running gag through the series. Like I totally understand why people would have an issue with it, but it wasn't an issue for me. Arthur is my favorite character I love his silly antics and his last fight with Dragon was my favorite fight in the whole series. I'm glad to see more positive content being made on this series even after its conclusion
The Soul Eater Manga is far better than Fire Force. The Soul Eater anime is barely even following the Manga. I just found the power system in Fire Force boring compared to Soul Eater.
I dropped Firce Force after the first or second episode, because it didn't seem to have a unique pull to it (I also didn't know Soul Eater's mangaka wrote it), but you now convinced me to give the manga a try. Paneling and art do look awesome, I'm glad to hear there's cool worldbuilding and a solid plot---that's actually exactly what I look for in a story, so thanks for making this video.
At least they only had Blair in Soul Eater for fan service. Also I dropped FF because it was tied to Soul Eater canon. I wish it was it's own thing.
I love the fan service, and I loved everything about this series (both manga and anime), It was tailor made for my tastes. Firefighters are rad; fire is rad; women are the greatest thing in this world, this art piece celebrates them so much; mysteries are incredible; I love the art and aesthetic (I am catholic and this absolutely pleased me); the philophical discussions were awesome and inspiring. For real, a masterpiece, 9.5.
can you talk about Gachiakuta because is reaching 100 chapters next week and also is getting anime next year by Studio Bone.
I love gachiakuta!!
I'm definitely gonna try and do another one. I have a couple already but I'd like to do a new one soon.
Is that the lava shelter ost you play in the beginning? If so, you a g
It is! That would be courtesy of my editor. He's a wicked Sonic fan.
You should analyze Ikki Tousen series.
It’s been a year and I’m still on episode 3
I was wondering if you could do video on a manhwa called hardcore leveling warrior
WE CHANGING FROM KNIGHT TO GAMBLER WITH THIS ONE!!!!
this anime still is one of my best picks in choosing anime for newbies, well kinda, people would nitpick the parts its lewd but overall the fights are fire, the manga fights are also fire, the creativity of the panels like the part where benimaru uses his technique that just used a aggressive stroke, if u read it u knew what I meant.
and also shinraz fighting style advanced capoeira, definitely cool
where can I read fire force manga ?
for free
mangadex, manga4life
one month later the anime’s next season release is announced😭
WERE BACK BAYBEEEEEEE
Love the video, you need to chill on how much your little character changes it stresses me out
Man i liked tomakis character and the fan service and the story in general
I’m just upset that we haven’t gotten an announcement for another season. I want to see the show to completion so badly.
Announced earlier today 😎 same animation studio doing it that did the 2 previous seasons as well so no big-changes to worry about, 24 episode season starting 2025 that finishes the manga
Someone actually counted and only roughly 40 of the 6,000+ pages of the manga have any kind of fan service in them. So Tamaki is really not as frequent or big of an issue as people make her out to be. Especially when she's barely in season 2 and won't be in any of seasons 3 and 4 until the very end when her character is given meaning.
Ahh, this was the anime i watched like three episodes of before getting bored.. My brother, who recommended the anime to me, only made it to about episode 12.
Trust me it gets a lot better, just be patient
I enjoyed every minute! I recommend to continue the anime - more characters and adventure awaits!
@@MegaMagicdognah, its boring
I only enjoyed and keep watching it because for that juicy sound effects😂
We just got news that we're getting season three!!!🔥
I saw! I can’t wait!!!
I am a huge fan of ohkubo, both mangas are amazing and I struggle to choose a favorite
when is the next video?
as a person who tried watching fire force 3 times and after all that got ep 9 just feeling bored
i kinda want to watch the show again but i have to many things to watch right now so il wait
Fire force is amazing but it never reached its full potential because it shares its pacing issues with soul eater and its character writing can use some improvements. I honestly think it needed another 75-150 chapters and it would easily be in my top 3.
You should analyze Slayers anime.
When people talk about the fanservice in Fireforce and the characters, then coming from the sidelines like a quarterback with a vendetta many say they like soul eater more because it was handled better....
You people have seen soul eater right? the Boob grabs, Fanservice scenes and ESPECIALLY Blair? (which seeing the cat theme, makes even more sense) because i don't think many people have.
I think Soul Eater is filled with such nostalgia that many people forget it. :')
What’s the problem of the quote on quote fan services??? For me sure some manga go a bit overboard (mha) but like you said why get angry? I keep reading due to story, world building, and enjoyability. Not fan service, that shit sounds stupid if you ask me
Fire force is one of my favorite manga because of the overall goal of the evangelist and how they have a realistic goal in wanting to end the world normally it would be generic like humans are bad and need to die but ohkubo twisted that narrative I don’t wanna say why because of spoilers but that’s one of the reasons fire force was such a memorable manga
Man i am still waiting for it's 3rd Season
Maybe it’s cuz I grew up loving Soul Eater, I fell in love with Fire Force day 1.
Time Stamps would be great to avoid spoilers
Because Soul Eater anime didn't adapt the manga till the end, I planned to read it, but after I heard Fire Force is a prequel to it I planned to watch Fire Force before reading trough Soul Eater. But the downsides of the series you collect in the beginning were the exact problems of black clover, no interesting characters, nothing interesting or big happening, but there's to much fanservice. black clover was a huge disappointment, so now I don't how watch/read Soul Eater (while I don't think after Soul Eater Ohkubo able write a series as bad as black clover).
My only dumb nitpick about the Ohkubo universe, is that all of his manga are connected, except for B.Ichi,😂 which is funny because its the easiest one to connect to Soul Eater, I know its dumb but it bothers me a little bit😂
Bro just had to wait another month
I remember really like Fire Force alot, but at some I got bored around The nightmare arc....once I got there I told myself I'll read it later when it gets ahead a bit.... I never did.
Imagine if at some point we would see God in Soul Eater and its just Shinra
If u liked the dragon and Arthur fight, there’s a good animation by NinjarsticNinja(? I think that’s the name) that makes the fight come to life
I've seen it. It's amazing!
Season 3 announcement
Fire force is definitely one of my favorite manga
Season 1 was good imo but everything that happens from where season 2 ends was very slow imo and counter productive in terms of building tension for the climax
and it just got announced today season 3 will air april 2025 and january 2026
Season 3 anouncement just dropped
around season 2 i started to like Tamaki she just became someone that wants to try her best and I like that (not my fav character but at least i don't dislike her or is more neutral to her existence lol)
Season 2 was suppose to come out my birthday a year ago march 17 2023
After years and years of watching anime and reading manga fan service will somewhat be apart of everything and I’ve learned to ignore it there literally is no way around it won’t ruin the story in my opinion
This aged well
Fire force is one of my all time favs fosho I wish they’d finish animating it 😭
The characters (aside from Tamaki) are the only reasons I’ll keep watching it
6:32 Oda has stated outright that he doesn’t actually plan anything and that his editors do most of the work
My favorite character was Charon. I am not a father, but I want to be one, and that's what I aspire to be. I got teary whenever he talked or was with haumea, I am in fact getting emotional rn. Good god ;-; aaaaaaaaaaahh
How is fan service a short coming
I really love Fire Force despite its issues (Tamaki and Juggernaut) but it is really great. I hope season 3 comes soon
juggernaut feels so lame, like hes jus there to be there, no depth nothing, he had next to no chemistry with tamaki and ended up with her anyway, it just felt forced
@tf2player32 yeah people seem to like him but I hate him. He was annoying and a character simping over another character who is nothing but a rude bitch for the whole story just feels wrong. Tamaki also would have been way better with Shinra anyway tbh
new trailer just came out for season 3
Season 3 trailer just dropped
Fanservice in anime; isn't a problem for me.
yeah, i don't really care either way, but idk why people watch anime and then complain about anime tropes
Didnt care about the fanservice other than when it was in the middle of the fights, that was cringe.
But mostly i didnt connect with any of the characters, not one.
Then you've never read fire force 😂
@@bignoob2726 What does that have to do with anything? Fanservice is a nonissue.
I started reading fire force for two reasons
1. It's a prequel to soul eater (one of my favorite manga
2. The MC can beat Goku
Funny enough I never had a problem with the fan service neither was anyone I knew I didn’t know people thought it was too much
I like tamaki, granted in the manga, you can ignore when its overdone and the anime might overdo it, but i love how he really made it an arc of her going from objectified making it her strengh,
Which that last speech is about, if that can help her save her feriends, screw you superficial criticism, you cant shame me anymore.
Thats a great arc, and she is never that much, plus its not like soul eater had no weird fanservice thats worse, fire forces fanservice works so good organic in.
Also the amazing end , its such a good exploration not only about beliefs, cults and religions on such a great literally level, its also
also so good exploring of existencialism and nihilism and hope and so good, and sadly fitting of the times currently, and great commentary on that.
God even with a great meta moment that hits :(
Damn soul eater had worse fanservice and, its great literature that has good worldbuilding and myster, that comes wit a bit of a slow burn, till that pays off.
Yeah I really hate fan service. And so when I tried to watch this series I really tried to get through a couple episodes to see if it gets better. So I really didn't enjoy this show
Manga, you can do ignore it probably better in the manga, and the fanservice is actually pretty organic mostly, buff obi, muscle maki, even the tentacles, are part that make sense. Lisa learns to control the tentacles.
@@marocat4749 I honestly didn't get far enough to run into anything but maki sorry
@@marocat4749 Tamaki is the actual issue.
No the way the writer treated her was the issue
@@zemox2534 He gave her a pretty good arc hpow she owns that as power thou and stop feel ashamess using whatever
Fire force got ran over by truck-kund and got isekai'd. Now you know
I’m on episode 22 season 1 & there is so much goin wrong or jus out of place nd the fan service is just 🤯like I didn’t like it before but there’s a lot missing or not said or even said when it needs to be it feels rushed on top of tht as well I don’t understand how you could expect a child who can barley even remember he had a mother to just accept someone random kid whose claiming to be his brother he couldn’t even believe tht he came from a woman nd it’s like he’s sayin we’re playin tag , it never feels like some fights are even taken seriously , at first these kids couldn’t even beat maki nd then all of a sudden there goin toe to toe with ppl who work for the first company ??? How does tht even work im convinced if he fought burns long enough they would’ve jus gave the mc abilities so it’s not a complete blow out
My first animes, other Shonen like Naruto,Dragon Ball,and Fairy Tail was Harem and Ecchi anime, so when I see Tamaki it doesn't really get on my nerves as much people do
It ended didnt it
Bro I just created this fire force char lol a d I searched fire force first recommendation is the art analysis
am I missing something? I think of fire force as a comedy anime with great fight sequences. quite literally all of the characters are extreme versions of character tropes. I understand the genuine fan service scenes. what makes tamaki is the awkwardness its supposed to make you laugh a litte. It's like if you fart in front of a lot of people. super awkward but can still make people laugh. just my thoughts
Final of 2024 the 3 season il finally come aut ❤
i thankfully can look past the fan service and its so good such a fun anime
I actually don't mind about fire forces fan service its not like we have worser fan service (COUGH MHA) but besides that I just love the show and most importantly soul eater and i hope soul eater gets a reboot cus of the new season or some collab with fire force :D
This reminded me to go read on where season 2 left off, but I will strictly be selectively not reading a single tamaki fan service panel out of quiet, seething, spite. Goated show (and manga, from what I’ve heard and seen), but that single character is absolutely a huge detractor and I don’t care how good or funny the manga’s meta fight giving commentary on her fan service is. Self awareness doesn’t erase those undesirable aspects lol, like how nikke players can tell you the game is fun but they’re still subhuman because that game is 80% sex sells.
I NEEED IT
I am gonna be honest,not a lot clicked with me when it came to fire force,don't really know why.I didn't mind the fanservice.I watched the entire anime and read the manga and while there where definitely awesome moments in the series and the plot was great as well,it didn't have that large of an impact on me.But oh well at least i got to read Arthur vs Dragoon
Arther vs Dragon is peak
yall stop hate just leave it to be and enjoy the anime i love the anime
Tamaki is barely in the manga and anime… what are you talking about? Do you hate fan service that much?
they just announced season 3 lmao
TLDR: Let us have our anime babes
I honestly don’t understand people’s issue with the fan service in the show, our fan service in general. Fire force is a Shonen no? I get it if you don’t like shows like High School DxD, Sekire, or shows like those. But for decades, it’s been very apparent just how few fucks the Japanese give about American sensibilities as far as nudity and showing both the male and female figure. Ever watched Hajime no Ippo? I’ve never heard a single complaint about the show but there’s some wild shit in there lol. But because it’s male fan service no one has anything to say.
I think it’s ok to portray your characters however you want. It’s fair if people don’t like it but it feels like people don’t like fan service because you’re not supposed to.
To be clear, I like your video and have no problems with anything you’ve said in particular, just ranting I guess. I’ve heard people talk about how annoying fan service is in anime before (especially a shonen) and I’m like “ bro this shit is made for young boys/men who are genetically and historically horney at all times lol. And that’s actually not a bad thing it turns out. And it turns out it sells…..a lot. Idk
I do think it’s fair to not like fan service but if you’re into shonen, I feel like it should just be expected at this point. And as long as SUPER weird shit happens then I say let it rock!
6:32 the disrespect to isayama (the aot author) is insane💀🙏
I honestly really love Fire Force. I had absolutely no problem with the fan service. I actually found it hilarious. I feel like the fan service was part of her characters abilities. I guess I’m just an anime watcher and manga reader who just doesn’t care about it enough to stop watching or reading something I’m interested in. 🤷🏽♀️
Well S3 COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ye season 1 is rough. but by season 2 its just the best show ever
Hello, Elite Gooner here.
Yeah, there's not enough fan service here, it's just one character. These people wouldn't know fan service if it hit em in the head.
Fire force is amazing and I can't see why someone would drop it over something like black clover or boruto
