Fire Force fans divided on show derailing

With the soaring popularity of anime, shows like “Fire Force” have established a strong foothold in the industry. Set in an alternate reality where vast portions of Earth have been engulfed in unrelenting flames, the series revolves around a group of pyrokinetic warriors and investigative units striving to prevent further devastation caused by the raging inferno.

Created by Atsushi Okubo, the mastermind behind the immensely successful manga “Soul Eater,” “Fire Force” is even regarded as a prequel to that franchise in certain aspects. Although the exact connection between the worlds of “Fire Force” and “Soul Eater” remains somewhat enigmatic, it has been confirmed that they share the same reality (via Anime Senpai). Nevertheless, fans are fervently awaiting the newest season of “Fire Force,” their enthusiasm burning bright. However, there is one aspect of the series that some viewers wish would simply dissipate.

The issue at hand is the prevalence of fanservice in “Fire Force,” a topic that sparked discussions among fans on the r/firebrigade subreddit. A user named u/KopakaWitThaGlocka initiated a thread questioning whether the fanservice becomes less overt or more tolerable in the upcoming season. They specifically highlighted how scenes featuring attractive characters in compromising positions often undermine the emotional depth and build-up of tension in crucial moments. “The fan-service in this show just comes off poorly placed, never executed at the right time, and tone-deaf to the plot or moment at hand,” they concluded.

U/disablednerd swiftly jumped into the conversation, urging the original poster to persist with the show. They pointed out that the fanservice does not obstruct tension as much in later episodes, exemplifying the Rekka fight. Meanwhile, u/wetsheetsmafia rejected the notion that fanservice scenes are ever well-executed in any show, sarcastically remarking, “‘Poorly placed’ is funny AF because I still haven’t seen an anime where I was like, ‘Wow! That Fanservice was perfectly placed.'”

Agreeing with the critique, u/jack-sector2814 asserted, “This is the biggest flaw in Fire Force.” They acknowledged that the poorly executed fanservice hindered the enjoyment of Season 1, but praised the significant improvement in that aspect during Season 2, leading to an overall better anime experience.

While fans grapple with the issue of fanservice, “Fire Force” continues to captivate and retain a sizable following. Megumu Tsuchiya, an editor at Weekly Shonen Magazine, the original platform for the “Fire Force” manga, sat down with Funimation to discuss what drew him to the story. Tsuchiya expressed being mesmerized by a particular concept: “In the story, the firefighters have to kill the people who catch fire by spontaneous combustion, but these people are also victims of the fires they’re in.” Recognizing the moral complexity embedded in the narrative, Tsuchiya believed readers would find the world of “Fire Force” undeniably captivating.

Indeed, Tsuchiya’s intuition proved accurate, as the series has garnered significant popularity. While viewers occasionally debate the extent of fanservice present in “Fire Force,” its allure remains strong enough to warrant an upcoming third season.
