You think there will be more Fire Force anime seasons? Manga is done and I would assume the anime gets finished. Season 3 is confirmed IIRC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMouse Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Just now, ben0119 said: Eeehhhh? I hope not, because Fire Force is not on Soul Eater's level, even if the same guy made it. Not on the same level, but I think it got better as it went and I still mostly enjoyed it. Might have been a better show if they'd somehow extended those first couple of arcs to better flow into each other and let us get more footing. I've always been curious if the manga was as jumpy at the beginning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved Soul Eater, still hoping we get a remake someday, would love to see that story animated again. Spoiler It was revealed in the final chapters of the fire force manga,that it was a prequel to soul eater all along,as the fire force manga had showcase never before seen panels of younger versions for kid, maka,black star themselves.(not even these specific panels were seen in the soul eater manga) So fire force anime only viewers could potentially see maka,kid,and black star back on the tv screen again if a anime studio ends up faithfully animating the very last chapter of the fire force manga Which could help finally encouraging a anime studio to finally animating the entirety of the soul eater manga for once.

But eventually Fire Force just got ridiculous, with those super speed powers the main character and his brother had and their explanations, and that one girl HEALING with fire was just silly. Still, might as well animate the rest of it to see how it all ends. Yeah I am curious how the manga was on that too. I don't recall anyone bringing up any manga comparisons for pacing when the show aired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saito34 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 46 minutes ago, DangerMouse said: Yeah. Maybe they got more impact from having the double premiere, even if it meant burning through them faster? I guess it seems purposeful they changed to this rerun the previous ep plus new ep on just these last three? Yeah I think you're right, but opening the block with a rerun seems a little shortsighted. I actually didnt mind in this case cuz i really like these episodes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree, especially since there didn't really seem to be any pressing need to go through them so fast, leading to the need to do this. Same, these were good eps so I don't mind it myself either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have pushed premieres out a few more weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that would be great if it could finally lead to the production of a Soul Eater "Brotherhood". And if it were BONES again somehow, like with Brotherhood, I'm dying to see what they could pull off again after all these years with how stylish their first Soul Eater already was thanks to the look of the manga and team they put together way back in 2008, if they got together the right team again for a remake, like they managed to do for Brotherhood, given the first FMA already looked quite good but then Brotherhood still upped it considerably with another team that also fit the material well.

DangerMouse Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 12 hours ago, ben0119 said: So with the rerun episode and new episodes being used together now, I don't think it's going to be the same amount of time as if they never doubled anything, but that would be hilarious. I assumed they wanted to hurry up and get Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War, and maybe they can do a solid dub run through to the second cour, but this is still taking too long to get that far ahead of the second cour. I have no idea what Toonami is thinking with any of this anymore. Yeah, that's why I'm still a little surprised they didn't milk the MHA premieres for more weeks instead of doubling them up the last few weeks. Unless they performed stronger that way, even at the cost of going through them quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So uh, how is it a prequel? Does the world get destroyed and remade at the end of the manga or something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 As for this arc, it’s clear that they’re hurrying towards the final arc, which is admittedly one of the issues with a tight serialized story vs an ongoing one. Bad publicity on a longer story would have had Deku out on his own longer and presumably an online Jameson slandering the terror hero Black Whip as… Here the cast decides that’s BS and deals with the issue immediately and the mother embracing the little guy is surprisingly heartwarming. I’m admittedly not a fan of “we are the greatest hero” because they pulled a similar line in The Flash when that show plummeted in quality. Despite his arc being closer to Superman’s as being this iconic symbol, Deku’s personality, power-set, and even publicity echo Spider-Man and I’ll always wonder if it feels like the author has to pull himself back from making the Spidey parallels too obvious.
