Fire Force Episode 3: Discussion


Recommended Posts

So we’re introduced to a new bad guy and a woman whose powers let her assume the mannerisms of a cat who also gets groped.

Yeah, this explains the latest rant from Crunchyroll writers about how the show is totally sexist and how High Guardian Spice is coming for all their boobies with potato shaped women and LBGTQ+ relationships.

Also Shinra is clearly a Kamen Rider fan.

Because clearly Soul Eater never had any of that.

also, my cousin noticed that the firefighters don't seem to use water when trying to put out fires? is that a thing? is there a reason for that?

... you know that's a really good question.  The image of someone with water powers suddenly entering the story and solving absolutely everything is hilarious!

There are firefighters in Fire Force that use regular hoes. You see them putting out fires after the team members save as many people as possible and stop Infernals.

yeah, but if i remember correctly, the hoses don't spray water but rather, some kind of foam

Mochi got quoted for this story! :D

Does Demarco not see how unhelpful and useless this answer is?  YOU WORK THERE.  DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.   And I fucking hate that shrug emoji, by the way.  Actually, I just remembered an ask.fm post of his I read recently -

https://ask.fm/Clarknova/answers/155256159721

I guess that doesn't embed... Here -

Why did you guys have to edit Food Wars? The nudity is entirely Barbie doll-esque. I don't see how it's different from Kill la Kill's last episode, which got to run uncensored.
about 1 month ago

I’ll answer this for future posterity: I have nothing to do with any edits made to any of our shows, that’s entirely in the hands of our Standards and Practices department. I don’t know why one scene may be edited and another may not. They tell us what needs to go, sometimes we appeal, sometimes we win the appeal and sometimes we don’t. Either way, complaining to me about edits won’t help you. Sorry.

You answered that for future posterity, but didn't link to it when people asked about the Fire Force edit.  Ok, then.  How many people does he really think look at ask compared to his twitter? 

So, Standards & Practices is responsible.  Sometimes they appeal the edits, and sometimes they win, sometimes they don't.  But something tells me Demarco rarely if ever appeals fan service edits, and doesn't make much of an effort if and when he even does.  Still, that doesn't change the fact of how nonsensical this edit was, given everything else that has shown on ASA and Adult Swim's incarnation of Toonami over the years. 

I mean, basically the only thing in SAO that was edited was that extremely graphic and gratuitous rape scene in Alicization.  All the rest of the fan service, including Kirito tripping and landing on Asuna and grabbing her boob "on accident," very similar to the Tamaki scene, was left in.  Kirito decapitating Oberon after he ripped Asuna's clothes and assaulted her was okay to show, along with Raios and Humbert being dismembered after their attempted rape (is this a pattern I'm sensing?), all the other fucked up stuff in SAO was okay to show.  Miroku and Roshi have pretty much been allowed to be in their glory all the time over the years.  Helsing was only edited when it came to fucking a corpse.  Everything else was perfectly fine.  Attack on Titan, little to no edits that I can recall with all the violence there.  Deadman Wonderland had very few edits and I think most of those were on the Japanese end.  Akame ga Kill and Tokyo Ghoul's edgelord content remained intact.  Kill la Kill only had a handful of subtle edits with most of the fan service and sexual stuff of that show left alone.  But you edit out grabbing a boob and a butt, the same thing Kirito, Miroku, and other characters have done over the years?  Is it because his hands went under her top and pants? 

(Why did no one link to the clip before now?!)

I mean, I still feel like the things I listed and still others are as bad or worse than that.  Oh, and -

While I definitely agree and won't complain that the face sitting scene was left in :D that just makes this all make even less sense that this was okay to show a few minutes later in the same episode!

And add on to all of this, Demarco's aversion to fan service in general, and this baffling edit, they get fucking Food Wars, knowing full well the gimmick of the show, being filled with foodgasms and nudity at every turn.  There is no consistency here as far as this edit.  There's been a new merger, but I don't know if that would make much of a difference.  Even before this, the different companies that were part of Turner, Demarco had mentioned how it didn't really help with getting rights to stuff (think he may have been referring to JoJo back then?), and companies still acted separate.  Not sure if that would change now.  I don't think that's much of a factor and personally I chalk this up to classic Adult Swim/Toonami/Demarco nonsense.

It looked like water.  Could have been foam.  Whatever the case, fire fighters use both, and they're portrayed as regular fire fighters that work together with the Fire Soldiers.

I wonder when the pyrokinetic concept will be explained.  If they've always been around or if they got their powers around the time Infernals showed up, and if they're related.

I mean, it’s a good show.

I don't know why you're even paying these people any mind at this point.  You ought to just tune them out and/or ignore them.

She really doesn't look like Maka to me.  Just because of the hairstyle?  Maka has green eyes and blonde hair, and looks different facially.  Maka is skinnier and even more petite and completely flat, or nearly?  Tamaki is petite too but still has actual T'n'A--

*googles for comparison pics but finds out other information as well*

Wait, Maka was that young?  I could have sworn her (and the rest of the cast) were older than that.  Looks like the others are older, but I can't find any age given for Liz and Patty...

S&P is handling Food Wars but it is possible that FUNimation edited that episode of Fire Force without Toonami’s knowledge or request. Surely we haven’t forgotten that one time they played an MHA episode that had All Might’s dialogue censored and different than what streamed? Sometimes FUNimation gets overzealous with editing stuff for TV despite Toonami being on Adult Swim now. And other times they just flat send the wrong version of an episode.

It is also possible that S&P did the edits as they did with Food Wars and Jason just means the Toonami team did not do the edits. But due to his uninformative answer, we may never know. If the censorship doesn’t persist then it was more likely FUNimation and Adult Swim informed them that such edits aren’t necessary. If it continues to be edited then it either is AS S&P or they requested FUNimation to continue editing Tamaki’s compromising moments.

Tamaki got the same hair style,same head shape,same lips,same eye brows(just less simple and shorter) ,bigger part of her eyeball is also colored two different colors and has the one of the same eye shapes that maka can be seen making in one of her facial expressions(a rectangular oval shaped eye besides tamakis inner pupil probably derived from  soul eaters Blair the cat,along with tits and ass

so Tamaki has a different nose,different less simple eye lids(but can be seen making one of the same shapes as makas eyelids in  many of her serious facial expressions,more detailed ears,more detailed  smaller pupils,no chicken legs or nearly flat chest,colors,etc

hell, Tamaki is probably an unused character design of makas mother.Who knows?

And yeah I agree though I  always assumed maka and black star were the standard shonen age,12 and death the kid was 15. Apparently they were all age 13 in the first se anime which was never stopped to the viewers

Maka also had the weird doll eyes with no pupil or shininess to them.  I think in a few situations her eyes would look "normal," but not sure what the purpose of that was.  That sure sounds like a lot of differences lol.  But I gotta admit I didn't look that close.  There's actually not a lot of good comparison pics, mainly for Tamaki, I guess because the show is so new and not many have been posted online.  Do people even still do screen shots of anime like they used to?  Still, even just looking back and forth at both of them at what's quickly available from a lazy google image search, you can see that.  But just saying, nowhere near "same character design," lol.  To say they even look alike is a stretch to me.

I think the art style has changed too much from Soul Eater to consider her an unused Soul Eater character design.  I mentioned it before, but this show seems to look more "normal," whereas Soul Eater was a lot more stylized and over the top.  The buildings, vehicles, characters, all look more realistic.  Though Shinra does have shark teeth, and that captain lady looks weird and has weird eyes.

It said that Maka is 13 and Soul was 14.  Death the Kid is 14.  Black Star is 13.  The Thompson sister ages weren't given.  Neither was Tsubaki.  Those were all I looked up (well I looked up Black Star and Tsubaki just now.)  Was trying to avoid manga spoilers in case I ever get around to reading it.  I would've thought they'd be older, and also more around the same age.  It says there's a one year time skip.  I don't remember that happening in the anime, so that must be a manga thing.  Anyway, at the start of the manga/anime(not Soul Eater NOT!,) those are their ages.

If by "normal eyes" ,you mean that you can see a pupil and a line inside the corner of makas unique looking eyes,you can only see those when she makes her serious facial expressions,surprised facial expressions(but keep in mind it's not all present in everyserious ,surprised expressions) ,but it's present in every scene where's she in black blood transformation

I haven't seen enough fire force so my knowledge on that is lacking.I'll take your word for it though.it seems your correct 

i have notice shinra's sharp looking teeth,maki's fire summon has facial expressions like death the kids death cannons making impact and the smoke created from the blast resembles lord deaths face

I will say though that the art style for fire force is looking  more like  typical generic anime though,kinda similar like  to soul eater not

And yes,there was a time skip,it was still largely the same series though,no radical changes to the combat system like you see in Dragon ball series and naruto someway down the line

That first one is from DeviantArt, so could be off from how she looks in the show.  Could be a redraw too, which wouldn't look exactly the same.  The second two are legit from the show for sure, though.

 Lol, her eyes look like creepy dead doll eyes most of the time, which always weirds me out, and was tough to get past, since I did end up liking her, and the show overall.  And, then, yeah, sometimes they have a pupil and gloss, and it's for certain expressions and reactions (but not always,) and the Black Blood form.  My google searches are really not going well, and I remember her having more glossiness to her eyes during those times, but I'm not finding that, so maybe I am remembering wrong, I don't know.  Looks like no glossiness to her eyes when she has pupils in the pictures either of us found.  I don't remember her eye turning a brighter color at those times, either.

tumblr_mxc6iaf3kl1sdcmc0o1_500.gif

Here is a gif where her eye has gloss to it, but no pupil.  So I guess there are more than two variations to her eyes.  Annoying that it's a gif and not a picture, though, makes it harder to see.

tumblr_nsiu6ov15B1twyezqo1_500.gif

And this Maka looks quite a bit different.  Looks like this is from Soul Eater NOT.

b47.gif

I swear this looks like a totally different person.  It looks like Haruko lmao.  I guess it is the energy giving her hair a pink tinge, that expression looks like one Haruko would make, and it's easy to trick your mind into seeing the scythe as her guitar hahaha.

motivation___maka_albarn_by_songue.jpg

LMAO, did Maka actually say that?  That's pretty great! :D But yeah, so manga version here, and it more or less jives with the anime examples.

Well, I'm tired of looking.  I'm not getting anywhere.  I can't believe there aren't more pictures uploaded of Maka and her different expressions and how her eyes change, since it's such a distinctive and memorable thing.  And Yahoo was no better, less of the relevant results.  And Daos was right about it being easier to find anime porn there, but you also get a ton of it when not looking for porn!  What the hell.  Turn the safe search on and a good amount relevant results get nulled along with the porn.  And I'm not even going to bother with Bing, lol.

There's got to be a character design guide or lineup like we get with other shows out there somewhere.  But maybe that's a more recent thing.  Maybe there is a site with a bunch of screen shots.  People used to do tons of screen shots for shows back in the day, episode by episode.  But I don't know where those sites are now, or if people still kept doing that.  I used to remember them for InuYasha and stuff.  Otherwise I'd just have to re-watch the show, which I don't know if I have time for that right now.  I'm very annoyed lol.

Soul_Eater_anime_girls_Maka_Albarn_Soul_

Here is a cute, more realistic, alternate art style fan art of Maka, for the heck of it.  Gotta' get something out of this, lol.

I have seen as much of Fire Force as what Toonami as shown, and just making observations of what I have seen so far.

I didn't pick up on all that other stuff.  I do remember seeing Death's face somewhere though.

Yeah that is what I was getting at.  It definitely looks more "normal" anime and not as out there as Soul Eater.

45adcfebaa97c4bd2dfe51c8ee785b9c.jpg

This an extreme example and all from Black Blood form, but I don't think we'll be seeing much like this in Soul Eater.  Hibana got pretty crazy at times, but not to this level, I don't think.

362px-Im_coming_to_getcha!_119434_1280x7

Here is one of Maka just being silly.  Again, not close to what we have seen or probably will see in Fire Force.

Oh I see.  But I'm sure there was a story reason for it, though.

"Could be a redraw". Don't ever use that argument. You could say the same for every single drawing linked here that isn't a gif!

 

It's made long mostly by the pics I posted.  I could have spoilered some of it, I guess, but eh.  I was determined!  And still didn't find most of what I was looking for.

Well it was hosted from DeviantArt.  That's meant for uploading your own art, not just putting random images up.  If it's not at least a redraw ,then they just jacked a screen shot and claimed it as theirs, or at the very least are misusing the site, as it's not an image hosting site in that sense.

You yourself just now admitted not everything on DA is a redraw. So how is that helping your argument that you can recognize if something from an anime IS a redraw by a fan?

Usually you can tell.  Usually they will change something, the color, whatever.  Even if they try do it exact you can usually tell something is off.  The way Maka looked there it seemed not like an original screen shot.  And as I said, if something on DeviantArt isn't a redraw or original art, it shouldn't be there!

like elfie has already brought up,My first image of maka i showed was definitely not a deviant art creation.I have seen the  entire soul eater anime and that exact episode multiple times and that scene is legit real.it's showned right after maka dodges the first strike against the chainsaw wielding golem.I guess I can understand from your point of view,that you haven't seen the show for so long that scenes like those can throw you off or slip your mind.it also didn't help that the url was listed under deviant art for some reason

but yeah,maka's eyes never creeped me out.her character design was always too cute to give me that impression.she was also  not a very typical protagonist  that we seen in shounen anime/manga before.I liked her. 👍

the first image here with the 'Gloss's eyes maka was only seen in episode 21 if I'm remembering correctly

The second image is definitely from soul eater not.her character design there is much closer to how atsushi okubo drew her from the beginning of the manga.he suddenly then starting drawing her character design  and the other characters more similarly to the original soul eater anime iirc I think about near the beginning of the third arc in the manga but Im Not exactly sure

the third image does remind me of haruko or jinyu and their guitar action scenes lol

That image looks like more of a adult maka.could probably passed for makas mom even though atsushi okubo never showed off her character design

 

I do remember some of the other different eye expressions of maka for sure.I'll try listing them down from what I remember from my multiple rewatches

You only see this 'angry maka background' every time maka unleashes her "maka chop" on a character

And no,she never at one point says something so cold like that during the manga.this was simply a fan edited thing,with the scene most likely maka scolding medusa outside her prison cell

And that's all the eye expressions i could remember for her lol hope I was helpful

And Yes,you seem correct though on fire force.it hasn't been nearly as outlandish as soul eater,it does appear to be more dark,more serious.

Your also correct there.there was a story reason for the time skip

like elfie has already brought up,My first image of maka i showed was definitely not a deviant art creation.I have seen the  entire soul eater anime and that exact episode multiple times and that scene is legit real.it's showned right after maka dodges the first strike against the chainsaw wielding golem.I guess I can understand from your point of view,that you haven't seen the show for so long that scenes like those can throw you off or slip your mind.it also didn't help that the url was listed under deviant art for some reason

but yeah,maka's eyes never creeped me out.her character design was always too cute to give me that impression.she was also  not a very typical protagonist  that we seen in shounen anime/manga before.I liked her. 👍

Yeah I haven't seen it in a while, and the image came from DeviantArt.  Which means if it is a screen shot, that person just straight up stoled it lol.  I guess I remember wrong.  I thought when her eyes gained pupils, they became glossy as well.  MANDELA EFFECT! :P

When they are in the "normal" state they are creepy to an extent to me.  Like I said, they look like doll eyes.  Just about every other anime character would have reflection in their eyes.  In fact, whenever the artists want to show that a character is unconsious, in a trance-like state, stunned by some shocking thing happened, etc, they will show their eyes looking flat and dull, with no reflection.  But that's how Maka's eyes are all the time!  So yeah, it's really weird.  And there was never really any reason given for it, that I can tell.  Except maybe for it to be more noticeable when her eyes and face change for certain moments.  Unless maybe it is revealed in the manga she is some sort of artificial creating, I dunno, lol.  Other Soul Eater characters have weird eyes, but again, they don't look lifeless, lol.  I was able to get past it since I like Maka, but it still bugs me lol.

I thought it was the time she tries to get Crona to be friends?  I thought that happened more than once, but maybe it didn't.

Well that is weird that he changed the art style, then changed it back.  Can't remember if it was Soul Eater NOT or something else that had the really cutesy art style?  And I thought it was more lika spin-off with a new cast, but this was the same cast and everything, but just a prequel?  It's really annoying they made that but didn't do a "Brotherhood" of Soul Eater.  Also don't get why companies make up endings to shows instead of just pick a stopping point and then they could go back to it later.  Though, funny thing is, Blue Exorcist made a continuation, but didn't remake the whole series, so I guess you're just expected to know where the series diverted and continue it in your mind from there.  This is why the filler ending thing should not be a thing!  At least it seems to be a lot less common these days.

Yup haha.

Man that sucks if it's true she was never really shown.  Odd indeed.  Yeah could be adult Maka.  Not sure how old they are trying to show her there.  The fact it's a different art style can throw off apparent age, too.  Tough to say.  Nice art, in any case!

Haha that is one that came up, and is a funny one.  Angry Maka lol.

Oh yeah, I remember that.

Oh I was gonna say lmao.  I think there is a quote about her telling someone not to look down on her, though, but I'm not sure.

Most of these other ones are pretty heavy art shifts, and things even other characters would do, so I don't know if I would count them the same, but Maka's eyes change regardless during them, of course.  I was thinking more of the times her eyes change specifically, which were up above.  But yeah, thanks for that catalogue, heh.  I ought to re-watch Soul Eater one of these days, and read the manga.

Ah okay.
