What's your opinion on Fire Force Season 2. First time watching and this season feels like bad filler. (Bleach Bount Arc bad)

I've only watched FF Season 1 so I'm hoping back in thinking I'll catch up for the new stuff. But Season 2 is about to convince me to stop drop and roll this whole show into the bin.

From season 1 my perception of the show was that it was a post apacoplyse world, rebuilt to modern times. It's led by a Catholic-esk religious world that's clearly not revealing the truth to the people. And fire fighters who use fire magic, fight fire monsters and an evil cult. Long winded but basically that tells you the rules of the world.

Now in S2 I'm currently watching the characters on a different contentent/island and they just introduced 1. monsters that aren't related to fire at all, so apparently that's a thing. 2. Talking sentient animals, bc why not. 3. And fire monsters can talk now too. We'd seen a single fire monster talk in S1, very dramatically, but now there is a literal cult of them and they're religious morons. Um hello, we already have a cult of bad guys at home and they're written pretty well, and we already have a manipulative religious faction too.

This whole sequence feels like the Bount Arc in Bleach, just awful, terribly filler written by someone who got a brief synopsis of the show and was told "Just do whatever. We'll even put you on a different island so any rules you break or lore you fuck can be explained as a cultural difference."

So tell me Fire Force fans, is this the direction I should expect the show to continue in?

I wasn’t blown away out the gate, but I liked the tone shift. It’s different from season one but I’m curious to see where they go from here.

I loved it and how the the brothers meet and how they found out they have adula flames

Fire force never like peak fiction level but season 2 is just worse. It is like a 4 for me

I think Enen no Shouboutai is a pretty inconsistent series. It gets better or worse by the arc. I don't think it was different from S1 in that regard. If anything it was S3 that was a bit weaker for me.

Oh dear lord. If S3 gets any worse than what I'm seeing in S2 then I need to drop this right tf now.

The animation doesn't reach the heights of the previous seasons, but there's some strong bits too and interesting developments despite some weaker parts.

Well, that island is directly linked to the main story. But they will add more crazy stuff. It gets a bit darker

Personally thought it was better than season 1

I thought season 2 was the best season so far.

It commits the cardinal sin of being forgettable imo. I've watched both season and i can barely remember anything that happened in either season

ThinRule11932026-01-14 00:04

Overall I think fire force as a whole is just for the animation and sound design the story is so mid

Honestly I loved fire.force when it initially came out but then I watched s2 when it came out and it didn't really hit the same way so I ended up dropping it. But since it's ending now I'm thinking of picking it back up again.

S1's ed 2 is also really great

I do like some of the characters though like Arthur, benimaru

Dude, I didn't like season 1, how do you expect me to reach season 2?

This is coming from someone who enjoyed "Soul Eater" (same author).

As someone that thought S1 was a hot mess, I thought S2 cleaned up its act enough to at least be a half-decent series. Not enough that I've rushed to watch anything beyond that, but enough that I didn't hate it.
