Fire Forcecan easily be considered an anime where its saving grace is, well, being an anime. While many would-be fans have been turned off by its heavy use of fan-service and its apparent lack of an engaging story,some argue thatFire Forceis actually underrated. At any rate, its animation has received universal acclaim.Fire Force, centered around its fire-manipulating protagonist who has become an outcast following an incident that led to his mother and brother being flame-broiled, has gained renown for its beautiful interpretation of the manga’s battles. This fact might just be compelling enough to court new fans who would be turned off by some other elements of the series.
With the masterful hands of David Production lending the series support,Fire Force’s third season is sure to be as brilliantly animated as the first two. The third season will also see the further expansion ofFire Force’s plot as the Stigma arc carries on and the way is opened to the final arcs of the manga series. Meanwhile,Fire Force’s confirmed third season might bring peace of mind to the fans of other series where the studio has helmed production—Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure,Cells at Work, andUndead Unluckbeing the most significant in recent years.
