ben0119 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I hope they are a more compelling enemy than Naraku's poisonous insects! Oh, and I just found this picture! More Maki, please! I like Tamaki, but she's over-saturated. I like Maki more, she needs way more fan art, or even just some screen shots! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daos Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Despite what people claim, Fireforce just isn't that popular. There's about 10 fanarts of Maki total. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that's because it's legitimately a bad show but a lot of other bad shows are somehow popular so this show's unpopularity is a touch surprising 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1gairon Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) ........... nah. Black Clover is more cliche than Fire Force. Remember, BC was supposed to be a PARODY of shonen but they played everything so straight that people couldn't see the deeper layer and now it's getting more praise than it deserves. Meanwhile I am seeing more and more how much bad writing Fire Force has in it, and that's a major letdown. It's almost like it has a totally different writer than Soul Eater!

PokeNirvash Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 "Bad writing" is also subjective. That said, the show was starting to lose me with the Company 5 arc, but it's starting to win me back with this current arc. I still think Tamaki is extremely meh though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, there's a whole bunch of Tamaki fan art and barely any of Maki. And I saw the one Daos posted and didn't post it, since I thought it was ugly.

It might be popular in Japan. Anybody know the numbers for it there? I mean the manga is still going. Usually if a manga doesn't do well, it will get cancelled. Animes have predetermined seasons so if the show did bad they just wouldn't make more after the initial set of episodes. Maybe it is just too new in the U.S.? Hasn't caught on enough yet? I mean I thought this show was supposed to be a big deal, though. Even more frustrating, is the search engines didn't seem to know the difference between Maki and Tamaki at first!

Meanwhile I am seeing more and more how much bad writing Fire Force has in it, and that's a major letdown. It's almost like it has a totally different writer than Soul Eater! Well Black Clover is an affectionate semi-parody. There are still legit moments. There's been some great story arcs and great character arcs, stuff I've seen pulled off a lot better than in some other shows. Noelle, and Vanessa are good examples. Also the fact they are women, and women haven't done much in MHA, and are incompetent in Naruto, for a couple examples. There have been some things out of the box, like making the leader of the enemy faction beaten before some of his minions, and not be the strongest of his group. And I think characters Yami and Zora makes the parody aspect pretty obvious. There a was a whole episode where Yami just sits there and takes the piss out of all the other Magic Knight Captains. Then Zora comes in (complete with JYB troll voice) this last arc and makes fun of all the happy-go-lucky characters and doesn't give a fuck. Later we learn he's out to go after corrupt Magic Knights. Lots of other stuff that's good about Black Clover, so I wouldn't say the praise is underserved, no. Don't know if I would call it bad writing, but there have been some... questionable things. Hibana's sudden about face which was a bit much even for shonen (this is talk no jutsu on steroids!) made me think THIS show might be semi-parody! Then there is the whole shift to investigating other companies which is not what I expected. Though an unexpected story direction is not necessarily a bad thing. I wouldn't expect the show to be about fighting mindless Infernals forever, sort of how like Bleach couldn't be about fighting Hollows forever, even though that was one of my favorite parts of the show. But I think they could have focused on fighting Infernals a bit longer. I will say this much, though, it certainly doesn't feel like Fire Force is off to as much of a strong start as Soul Eater was. That's what I said about Hunter x Hunter, lol. I loved Yu Yu Hakusho, but could not stand HxH. But I follow what Poke said. Good at first, Company 5 arc kind of eh, this arc is looking better and hopefully the show improves and can catch some kind of stride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as usual it's pretty hard to estimate other than just using MAL which isn't perfect. The fact that I never see anyone mention it or link gifs of it is generally not a good sign though. But according to MAL Fireforce is no where near as popular as Fairytail or Black Clover. Or Soul Eater. Or MHA. Or One Piece. Or Naruto. Or Inuyasha. Or Blue Exorcist. Or Dragonball Super. It's critical rank is 967. Popularity rank 413. Those are just mediocre to poor numbers. Even the God awful Tokyo Ghoul S1 pulled a 628 for the critical ranking. Now I don't believe for a second that Fireforce is worse than TG but there ya have it. And that kind of sums up how I feel about the show. I don't dislike it, but I also don't care if I see any more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be possible to find the numbers for manga volume sales, reader popularity polls, and ratings for the anime. That would tell us about popularity in Japan, at least. For the U.S., yeah, hard to tell. The fact I can barely find any fan art doesn't seem like a good sign. But maybe that's the fact it's so new, and has been called like three different things so far, I dunno. Well like I said Fire Force is new. Of course some shows are smash hits right off the bat. If this show still isn't, it could gain a following. Oof yea that doesn't sound good haha. Ah, well fair enough, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
