Fire Force (Japanese: 炎炎ノ消防隊, Hepburn: Enen no Shouboutai, lit. “Blazing Fire Brigade”) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Atsushi Ōkubo. It has been serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine since September 2015, and collected into 26 tankōbon volumes as of November 2020. In North America, the manga has been licensed for English language release by Kodansha USA. Still reeling from the childhood trauma of losing his family to a blaze, Shinra Kusakabe endures both the blessing and curse of being a third-generation pyrokinetic: a person gifted with the ability to freely control fire.

Fire Force is a story about people with fiery hearts fighting fire with fire. Set in a world where people spontaneously combust and turn into mindless burning zombies the Fire Force: Enen No Shouboutai is responsible for controlling the damage caused by these “infernos”. Many people in this world are bestowed upon by Solomon the ability to control fire. After watching the first two episodes I really thought I would be able to enjoy this, but shortly afterwards the enjoyment I found in the bombastic nature of the first two episodes was burnt and tossed into oblivion.

This is probably the worst directed and worst framed show to come out this year. Riddled with sudden cuts, weird framing, stupid fanservice and soulless jokes and characters every bit of potential that the show held was thrown into the nether. Plot elements are pulled out of the author’s ass at very inappropriate times with characters making a sudden appearance and then disappearing just as quickly. Characters are brought into the show and thrown away for the duration of 5-6 episodes until they’re needed again to exposit about the world or the plot.
