Hello and welcome to an all new episode of Anime Brain Freeze! We are your burnt and broken hosts!
- I am John! - And I'm CC, and when there's just too much cool anime to watch, we've got you covered.
Summer has come and gone, the fall anime promos are literally at our doorsteps,
so it's time for our season finale here on ABF, and what better way to bid the hot season a
due, than with a scorching review of a particularly smoldering animated series, namely the first core of
the third and ostensibly final season of Fire Force. And of course, as usual, we will give you our
picks for best anime of the season, but before all of that, there's some leftover tidbits to talk
about in the quick and the dead. So, grab your fireproof headphones, go on a quest to forge your
ultimate weapon whilst indulging in every possible RPG fantasy you had as a child,
to cope with the fact that your parents abandoned you to dodge their dead collectors,
went underground, had three more kids, for some reason didn't ever come back to get you,
and then after running into you by accident abandoned you again. You poor precious stupid boy,
I'm so sorry you don't deserve this, you are the best this story has to offer. Why would they do
this to you? Do they hate you that much? This is so horrible! Fuck them! Fuck them and then you family!
It's just bad enough!
You look bad enough, one that at least so much cherishes you, you are a king, you are the
night king and you don't need to take their shit anymore. You are loved and you are great the way you are,
you are perfect! And definitely don't pause the pod. Oh, we're already back. How about that?
Welcome to the quick and the dead, so yeah, bye!
Sorry for the long break at least between the previous episode which hasn't been released at this
point when we're recording, some in the process of editing that, and this one which I will probably
release like one week of break between them or something like that, but pretty much back to back,
but CC did something dumb again as usual, I slipped in the kitchen on, I think a puddle of water when
I emptied my dishwasher or something and I was running on bare feet and was going way too fast and
I'm not fucking sonic so that went sideways and upwards and yeah, so I slipped fell and broke my
fucking elbow and had to do a bit of recuperation and I'm still in the process of that but I'm at the
point where I can now finally edit again so I'll hope to release the previous episode soon
and this one pretty much right after that and then we can hopefully get back to our more regular
scheduled program, but yeah, with that being said and my apologies out of the way, John, you have a
couple of quick things you would like to talk about in the quick and the dead.
The first is mono, which you know again talked about this at the top of the season, you know,
this is from the creator of You Do Camp and it is definitely that same energy of just cute girls
doing cute things, going on, going on to take photos of things and videos and
and there's a cat that they try to attach a camera to, like I said, the top and the boy that didn't
work out great. It's kind of a neat story because they're just going across the Japanese countryside
to different vistas you get to see, you know, them do usurping stuff, you know, like I said, it's cute
girls doing cute things and it's just so really relaxing definitely, you know, a great show to
wind it down with because work has been a whole thing lately, but if you like You Do Camp, you will
probably like this show and there's, you know, honestly, not a whole lot to give away or talk about
with it, but if you enjoy You Do Camp, you'll enjoy this. That's pretty much the TLDR I think.
Sounds like a chill time and the other thing I finally got around to finishing Sonic the Hedgehog 3
the movie. No. The 4K disc is still sitting right over there. Don't at me. I'm adding you all the time
John it's the best one of the three go get to it. Jesus Christ because number one this is anime
pre-in-free. Yes, I get it. I mean, I feel like Sonic has a bit of anime in his DNA. There wasn't a
Sonic of the A-Bick in the days. There's that. Oh God. There's Sonic. What was it called? Sonic,
Sonic X. Sonic X, right? Sonic X, there's Sonic Boom, there's Sonic Prime, there's Adventure,
Sonic the Hedgehog, there are some of these Sonic and Shows I think. There's a Saturday morning one,
there's Sonic Underground, there's no shortage of animated Sonic and it comes in all different
flavors. No, what I finished watching was Uma Musume season 2. Ah, all right. And how did that
pen out? Oh my God, it was so good. So the first season was about Special Week and Silent
Susuka and their rivalry and how Susuka eventually goes to America for her training. And this season
was about Tokai Teo and Majoro McQueen and how they're both gunning to go for an undefeated
triple crown. And Teo is, you know, she's one of the fastest horse girls in Japan until
she has an injury and breaks her leg. That sucks. Yeah. Yeah. And she gets set behind the barn and shot.
No, thank God. No, but we'll talk about that because there's the thing to talk about with that,
with one with one of the other girls in their real life story. Teo is, you know, just,
she's kind of really down on herself because you know, well, I can't race again for I think it was like,
it was a long time. It was like almost a year. And after that, she starts training like crazy and
McQueen is out there racing her butt off and she's trying to get her triple crown, like I said,
but there's this other horse girl rice shower. And she's kind of like this. And I believe,
I meant to look this up before, but I think it's supposed to be a thing at like Japanese weddings where
you are showering the bride and the groom with rice as a sign of a good blessing. Oh, we do that. I believe
sometimes I feel like it's less common in the West. I mean, not rice, but flowers, I guess. I mean,
yeah, it's kind of the same thing. Yeah, it's similar, but you know, this is specifically talking about
this, you know, right showers kind of soft spoken, but you know, she wants to, you know, come up in
the ranks too. So she defeats this other horse girl, mehono bourbon and takes her triple crown.
And the crowd is sort of like, what do you mean? What do you mean? This other girl, one one bourbon
sort of one and right showers kind of downer is after that because she sort of seen as like a heel
and she starts to feel like, well, I guess maybe that's what I'm supposed to do. And when until the
other girl starts to say, no, you need to race and you need to, you know, do this, you just need to go
for it. You need to do the best that you can. So then she basically goes off into nature on her own
and trains like crazy. And when she races McQueen at the spring tenno show, I believe is the race.
Rice comes out of nowhere and just boom takes the win. And the crowd is sort of like, I've had it
again, but there's this moment where McQueen is like, nah, you did really well. So I'm glad you want.
So it's like, it feels good to see, you know, that's that's what this show is about. That's what it was
in the first season too. You know, these girls lifting each other up. But then when Teo and McQueen
are supposed to have their next scheduled race, the Arty McQueen and McQueen, I forget what the
okay, degenerative suspensory ligament dismight us. She starts suffering. And that is like
not curable. So it can be controlled, but that means McQueen will never run again. So
Teo ends up going into the Keenan to go up against, uh, there is an OVA in between the first and second
seasons that focused on three other girls. Be well, Hayahide, Nariah Ta-Brayan and winning ticket. And
Hayahide is like one of the fastest out there and she only ever comes first or second place in
all her races. And Teo is, you know, still kind of not a hundred percent there, but she's got to win.
She's got to do it because this is probably going to be your final race before she retires.
She pulls it out in the end. And it's super triumphant. It's like, yeah, yeah, that's what this show is
all about. It is at its core, a sports anime. And, you know, like the underdog story about it.
That's what I was thinking, like, John, this is with my affinity for sports anime.
Should I watch my most in May? Because like, it sounds like a really good sports anime. And also,
I recently watched like an MAD on YouTube that heavily featured scenes from Uma Missy Me. I don't
know if it was season one or even season two, but it was fucking insane. I was like, do I need to watch this?
I mean, that's up to you. But, you know, the animation has gotten better from the first season.
Like, you know, the first season has done a big PA work. And it looked pretty good all most of the way
around this season. And I believe the third season that hit up by Studio Kai, and you could tell they
took it like another step up. And they also planted the seed through this season for the main cast,
the main girls for the next season, Kita Sun Black and Satano Diamond. So, you know, that's coming when
they eventually watch it. So, yeah, oh, it was really good, but they don't talk about one of the things
that happened with Ray Shower in real life. And that was in Ray Shower's real life last race.
He fell down and broke his leg and was euthanized. So, I wasn't that far off.
Yeah, his real life career was cut short. He was only six years old at the time.
Yeah, that's like so. Not every force got a happy ending.
He back you know, in the show, I guess, kind of. And we talked about, and when you talked about one
was the last time, we talked about one example where we, there was a kind of happy ending for one of
the retired horses. Oh, yeah. Got to live on its own farm, basically.
Gold ship in Haru Uda got to live great lives after their retirement. So,
well, we wish that up on all future race horses. Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah, great show, great season,
looking forward to whenever I watch season three. I am solely trying to get caught up because I believe
Cinderella great part two starts this coming season and I won't be current. So, I don't know when
I'll get to watch it. Maybe, maybe by the time season four of women was in my proper runs,
or rolled around, I will have caught up to you. Or something. Let's see. Because I mean, there's season three,
there's the two movies. One was kind of cut up for a TV. If I wrote to the top,
was cut up into four episodes for TV. Then there was beginning of a new era and then sinned
to relegate. So, yeah, literally. That definitely was very horsey. Yeah. I didn't think I said to say
that to you. I didn't think a show about anthropomorphized horse girls would make me feel things,
but here we are. Yes. I mean, good sports anime do that. Like they make you just buy into the hype
and just the feelings that come with that. So, all the good sports anime that I watch do that
and are good at that. Because ultimately, these shows are about characters. And the ups and downs
of trying to strive for a certain goal and sometimes stumbling and sometimes falling,
sometimes usually getting back up again, but sometimes not. So, those are always very engaging
character stories to witness, to see. A lot about growth and a lot about discovering yourself
and everything. So, good sports anime do that. They are not only about who can win the gold or whatever
they are about how to get there and which characters do it and how they do it. So, it seems like
umamu sense, umamu sense is working along those lines. Yeah, it really is. And I mean, it's kind of
interesting to read about the real life stories as well as, you know, as supplemental material. As it
were, even though that's the real truth of the stories. But yeah, watch horse girls. Good show.
Watch horse girls. Play horse girls, I guess. Well, we'll talk about that maybe at some point. Okay.
Yes. So, what do you got for us? Well, not much, but I went to the movie theater to an i-makes theater
to be exact and watched the newest or the first of the three Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movies
with a packed house like that movie theater. It was really tough to get those tickets actually. Holy
shit. Yeah, because initially like these are always usually over here as specials and they already
put it up for like a week. But when the tickets went live at crash, they're fucking server. And I spent
like, yeah, I spent like three hours or more like into the night trying to get these because they
went online like a 12. So I expect, oh, nobody's gonna be awake for this. Yeah. So you thought
weeps don't sleep bitches. It was fucking horrible. But eventually I got my tickets.
So we with David wanted to join, but he went his vacation,
interfered with that. So he's gonna watch it on Monday after, you know, this recording.
So I'm looking forward to hearing his impression, but I went with another friend of ours who's also
big into anime and his colleague. And the colleague had a problem because he didn't know Demon Slayer.
Like, I was like, why are you here? I watched the recap halfway and I was like, oh, okay, yeah,
well, that's a lot to catch up on. Yeah, well, it was, and it elicited the reaction. I expected mostly
confusion and partially like, oh, this doesn't work for me, right? Because he couldn't,
emotionally engage with any of the characters because he didn't know it, right? That's totally fine.
I expected that. But me and the other guy, we fucking loved it. This is Barnum, one of the craziest,
visually intense anime movies I've ever seen. It is right from the get go, which was to be expected
considering the stage for these movies, which is the Infinity Castle, like the technically the
Demon Realm of this show where you have like these constantly shifting castle or city landscapes,
whatever, like buildings moving around all the time. So we have a lot of three-dimensional
spaces, constantly shifting and changing by this one of the demons who can use her, her instrument
and if she strums, one of the strings, like the stage basically changes again, like the
the layout of the castle changes again. So that happens constantly. And the show employs that
the best way possible by setting a bunch of intense battles in that setting. And as you would expect
from a movie level UFO-table production, I mean, we technically already saw that with the Demon
Train arc because that was also a movie first and then got adapted for the TV version. And
I watched a movie version, you only watched the TV version, right? That's how it worked out.
Of that. But like I already told John over Discord, I recommend everyone to see this in the movie
theater. This was made for the big screen because there's so much fucking happening. I don't even,
if you watch this on the small screen, this will probably be overload. I mean, it can be overload too
if you watch it on the big screen because it's just so fucking Titanic and like it's just the
especially in IMAX, like the screen is so big and just filling out your whole field of you and
everything. But it was amazing. Like it was definitely one of the best movie-going experiences I had
because of the crowd as well of course because usually when when you watch normal movies and movie
theaters, you know, can flip a coin if you have some assholes in the crowd that ruin the shit for you.
I never had this with anime watching anime because everyone who is there definitely wants to be there
and definitely is very much engaged with the material. So when there was fucking nothing,
like when there was silence, when there was no soundtrack, also amazing at this again, when there was no,
you know, sound, when there was no talking, everything, aside from a couple of cuffs, you know,
you could look at here a needle drop in that fucking theater with like, I don't know how many
fucking people there were. Like it was it's a huge ass theater. Like I don't know how many hundreds,
whatever. But just the crowd was thoroughly engaged. There were some laughs at the right moments.
There was clapping at the end and it was it was just great. And the movie itself, like I said,
also fantastic. Like of course it's not finished, right? Because it's gonna be three-part. So we have a
couple of small-ish fights, fights against a couple of grunts, but also some of the demons that we've
already been introduced to, some of that fights are finished, some are not. There's also a lot of
flashbacks in that movie that give us a bit more insight into some of the characters. We don't
haven't quite come to know yet fully, which is really good, especially the final flashback,
which is very lengthy, like which happens at the tail end of the movie and takes up a lot of time,
actually, which I didn't expect. Which I assume is like one or two, it's gonna be one or two episodes
of the TV adaption. And they kind of put that at the end there, like as the finale, because there's
not really much fighting happening after that. So they end up kind of more often a big emotional note
than a big climactic superfight. So that happens before that and it's fucking insane. But yeah,
I got everything out of this that I wanted. Like I got spectacular fights, I got an expansion on a lot
of the character backgrounds, even Zenitsu wasn't annoying in this, which isn't achievement.
But yes, it's crazy. It has a cool moment. He has a cool scene in everything and he is not annoying.
So that's even more than I could have asked for. So hooray! Yeah, it's a great time. It's a blast.
Like the sword to the top of the Japanese and international movie charts, of course, because of
how many people wanted to see it. So be one of those people. I recommend it wholeheartedly. I will talk
of course. We will talk more extensively about this once it has been adapted into the TV
version because by then, John will probably have seen it. And I can't wait to hear your opinion
on this, but I think you will have a good time because this is just insanity in the best possible way.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I just don't get out the theaters too often. I know. It's just like, and you don't
have to. I'm just saying for this, for my perspective, it would be worth the trip. Even if you have to go
alone, maybe if you can't rope anyone else in, which I was lucky to do that, but I also would have seen
it on my own, of course. But yeah, it was definitely worth it. And considering that we both were
like the biggest fans of Demon Slayer in the like when the show started, had some problems with it
here because it was too standard in certain ways, then some annoying characters and everything.
But like this, this is a whole movie of what the show is best at, which is great intense battles,
and then some really good character backgrounds that they sprinkle in there for some of these
characters. And thankfully, almost nothing of the annoying stuff that still pops up in the series
occasionally. There's, there's some comedy in there and, you know, some wacky bits, but those
all kind of work. And the all the annoying stuff with Zen into and everything and all the, you know,
the shit. Yeah, what's her name? There's no one I forgot her name again, the sister of Tanjiro.
Oh, yes, yes, she is of course, again, not really in this, which is a problem again, in my opinion.
She's sort of key to the story of this, but how is she not? She is like in there for like
have a minute or something. It's crazy, but it doesn't matter because you don't think about it in
the moment because it's like, there's so much cool shit happening. There's just non-stop cool
shit happening in this and it adds on a cool note, of course, like a sec cliffhanger, but it's like here,
this is what you're probably gonna get next. So look forward to that whenever that movie is hitting,
I don't know if that's gonna be next year or the year after that. I don't know how long they will
take, take all the time that you need you for table, please. But yes, it's just, it's just a blast.
It's just a fun time. You're never bored and the pacing is not bogged down by trying to
fit it into a specific episode from it, though I'm pretty sure they already structured the movie in a
way where it would work as a TV adaption without having to add that much to certain episodes to make
the cutoff points work and everything. So very much looking forward to how they continue this,
but this is turning out, this is turning into the long and the dead. So I'm gonna stop talking about
a Deem Slayer Infinity Castle part one now. Watch it, everyone who likes Deem and Slayer or who just likes
great action anime, you will not be disappointed. I'm very, very sure of that. With that being said,
let's get to the big review for this episode.
Right, so, uh, Fire 4 Season 3, which is sort of just jump right back in with the,
with the barest, the minimum of recap, just the character reintroduction, right? Which is what they
did at the beginning of Season 2, uh, was like, here are the characters, but not really any recap of
what happened in the previous season. Not much anyway. Yeah, because there were quite a few things that
but kind of pick up after Sinra and Arthur had gone through Benimaru's training,
Obi, kidnapped by the MPs under the influence of the white clads, and how Maya is kind of starting
to brainwash people, the leadership of the Tokyo Empire, and that's a bad. Uh, so basically,
this season should be called the World versus Company 8. Yes, maybe not the entire world,
but it feels pretty close. I mean, they get like, first Obi, they're, they're captain, right?
A second prisoner and, uh, oh, Maya has some plans for him, and then Company 8 is just going underground,
trying to hide, so they don't, I think they, the, the military supposed to get Sinra,
and bring him to, you know, the white clad, bring them to the Holy Soul Temple, who is now
in Kahut with the white clad and with the evangelist, and, uh, because Sinra is one of the pillars,
he's one of the instruments, one of the key factors, um, or, or things they need to
enact a second cataclysm, and of course, they need them for that and, uh, for that to not happen,
just the whole gang runs and, or escapes and hides, so that they don't get to him, uh, really, and,
I think, uh, the media led by probably the Holy Soul Temple, or the government, or whoever's
responsible to cook up a whole story about how he's being abducted by Company 8, like,
oh, they are the bad guys that Sinra is not doing this willingly or whatever, and, uh, yeah,
that's kind of, and then they have to formulate a plan. Okay, what, how are we gonna stop all of this
shit? How, how are we gonna get our captain out of there, especially once they learn what,
what homeaers plans are for him? Government, media control, interesting topic.
Absolutely not contemporary. No, not, yeah, uh, so, yeah, I don't, listen, this story was not written,
then, no, but it feels, it feels very fitting that it's coming out now, yeah, it's a little prescient,
kind of, like, parts of Lazarus' story were maybe, if it had released two or three years ago,
but yeah, it feels like there's a lot to cover with this season, but also at the same time,
it feels like there isn't because they just sort of hit the ground and keep going. Yes, but,
they also only covered about 40 chapters by my count, and to the end of the series after that is,
like another 80 or 90. Yeah, that's one of the things that's, is worrying me. So, just to get the
negative stuff out of the way first, before we get into the plot details, which, I mean, there is
a bit of, like you said, there's a little bit happening here, but also half of the, half of the
season is fights. So, I rewatch season one and two anticipation of this because I was like, okay,
I remember really liking season one and two, I'm completely blanking on a lot of the story details.
I could listen to our reviews, but I feel like, hey, if this is the final season, maybe I should just,
you know, start this and the final bit is coming in January, so that's not that far off, so it
makes sense to just go back to season one and two and watch those. And I did that in a fantastic time
with it. I like fell in love all over again with, with the showers, like, hey, season one and two
fantastic seasons, like both super enjoyable in their own right, super high quality, great animation,
great fights, fantastic color, great soundtrack, great sound editing design, it's, it's all there.
It's like a really good show and show fantastic characters all that. Like I just had a fantastic time
with season one and two, so I was thoroughly hyped going into season three and up to that point,
I had only watched the first episode of that and the first episode, the first couple of seconds
look start out really promising, really good when we get like the recap, uh,
into character introduction, we have all the characters jumping around fighting and it looks
pretty much on par with season one and two and after that it takes a nose dive animation wise.
And I think John and I are a bit on a different opinion on this, um, maybe, maybe colored by me going
back and watching season one and two and coming fresh of that and having a direct comparison.
I think this show for this season for most of its runtime is an incredible downgrade in terms of
animation quality. So we have, we have server fights in this of course and you have your, do you
hit us in this preview in the previous season where you have like the kind of smaller fights maybe
with some sub character, some of those look not as good as the main stage, right? But you definitely
had some standout fights just like, okay, this is the main fight of this little mini arc or this
part of the season or whatever and this one will look exceptionally good. And so when like the first
couple of fights when they like because they learned that the white clad wanna, uh, basically inject
OB with one of those insects that turns people into infernals or flame users, firepower users,
whatever you want to call them. Uh, they want to inject them with that and this might kill him, of
course is my tournament to a fornal or so the gang wants to stop that and wants to rate the prison
where he's held. So you would imagine, okay, this leads to a bunch of fights and this does.
And when the first couple of seconds look not of those fights look not as good. I was like, okay, maybe
they, they would keep that up, they need to cut some corners even though the previous season didn't
really do it that much for, for the standouts fights, but that is also not the case. Like,
aside from the first couple of seconds of the first episode, the animation in the first three episodes
is really bare bones compared to season one and two. And then episode four rolls around,
we have a fight with Tomah Kiegen's goal, we have Arthur against Dragon, which is like this new
white clad destroyer guy. Um, I don't think he's a pillar, but that all looks not good. Like, there's one
good, but very short Sakugas scene in episode five where Arthur fights Dragon, but at that point,
so far that was about it. And I was like wondering, did some of the heavy hitter better animators get
moved to another project? Maybe steal ball run, which is gonna happen in the not too distant future.
And that is one of the biggest JoJo's arcs. So maybe they had some people move to that, but I didn't
look at it up. I intended to, but I didn't get to it. I want to compare like the best animated episodes
from season one and two and see if those people or some of these people are still around in season three,
but it didn't feel like it. I mean, just looking at the list of animation directors between season two
to three, it's a lot of different names going from one season to the next. I don't at a quick
glance. I don't think I see any of the same names. Yeah. So it feels like they relegated. Either those
people just generally moved on from David projection. Maybe a lot of these were free dancers. I don't know
or they moved on to another project. Maybe I see ball run will look appropriately awesome. I hope so.
Then at least this would have gotten, we got any merit out of this situation, but it's like
even genera's fight against burns, which was like heavily teased that this would eventually happen
at some point back from the end of season one. Even dare fight looks only okay. There's some decent
camera work that makes the animation seem more dynamic than it actually is, but their first square
of in season one was much more impressive looking. It just feels janky stiff and flat like this needed
to be spectacular and it's sadly anything but and this sadly applies to most of the character animation
in the season as well. It's way stiffer and juttery than in the first two seasons. Like general
artwork colors environments are still all great. It looks fantastic. Delighting and shading is maybe
in some parts not as impressive, but there was already, there was some moments that were not as
wow inducing in season two in that regard, but it's still great. Like it's still mostly, you
look at these characters and just in still frames, it looks great. They're still sharp like the
color palette when you have sunsets and the whole town, the whole like all of Tokyo tinged in like
this orange and everything and you have the nice complementary contrast with the blue on the
fire uniforms and everything. It still looks cool. It still looks great. And you're like okay, but
season one and two also had incredible action scenes and this season is a giant step down in that
regard, which was a huge bummer for me because I hate it when shows like can't deliver in their
final scratch. And that is the stuff that you remember. That is the stuff you like if there is a shitty
beginning to a show and it gets better later on, you remember how well the show ended and how it
wrapped up. And in this case, it feels like oh no, oh, will the last part also look as, but I mean,
hey, maybe the good people worked on the second part and we're gonna because they couldn't
manage it any other way. And we get like a huge action blow out in the final part in the last season,
but there's so many factors like this is probably not gonna happen. Also, what you said, John,
there's like 80 chapters or something left for 12 episodes. And it's gonna have to either be
season three part three or I have to separate out some of it because otherwise,
they'll be rushing through it too much and like, I feel like I enjoyed this season, but it felt like
it didn't know what pace it wanted to go at. Yeah, that's that's it. And this is, I feel like this is
something we should be seeing at the end, but I feel like it also bears saying up front as well.
Yeah, absolutely. I agree with that. And yeah, we can really not after we get through the plot,
which there's not that much happening in it, but there's enough happening substantial stuff
happening to talk about. But yeah, I was already worried about this season when I saw the first trailer
for it, but I thought they were keeping the blockbuster fight seems for the actual show.
No, apparently not. And sure, season one and two had the occasional shortcuts in small fight
scenes that displayed more limited animation, like I said, but all the fights or moments that needed to
look impressive, look, teller impressive season three has nothing like that. There is like a one
episode a fight at the very end of the season where we have like this giant fight against this giant
titan mechish creature, a chaiju thing, where there's some cool work, a 3D animation work when
the artillery fires at that thing that looks really good, because they employed the CG very well
with the projectiles fired it is some nice camera work and jaggernaut firing it at it and we're
really happy to see him back because we didn't know if he survived because he was
heavily dismayed at the end of season two and they didn't walk that back like he got out of facial
limbs. So that was pretty awesome coming back as kind of a cyborg in a way. But yeah, that scene
looked great and we also have some cool action scenes with Ogon and Coronon there, like small bits
that look really good. It was so funny to me when they after that episode when they get to the next
episode they do a recap and only show the well animated moments in that recap was like,
and we was like yeah, yeah, you need to show that. This is where we spent the money. Yeah, this is because
that's the only well animated scenes in this fucking show aside from the first couple of seconds
of the first episode. So I mean it's like hey maybe we get more of that in the next season,
right? Yeah, maybe that's what they're shaving it for. Maybe because, you know, if this
if like most of the last 80 chapters of this are just fights which could be the case,
we could just get a giant action blowout for the last 12 episodes and maybe they put all the
A stuff on that because they were like, hey, we can't do it for the entire show. It's not possible.
We don't have the people. We're stretching us to thin. We're doing JoJo's at the same time and
maybe something else. So yeah, it's about to ask what are they working on something else besides
JoJo, I don't know. I'm not sure. But you know, that could be the case where it's like, okay,
we can only satisfy, we can only do one part of this, right? So we're going to do the finale,
right? And have all the action super sacco gas stuff in there and have to write people on it.
But I'm also not sure that that's what's happening. So we'll see this is something we have to wait,
wait for, but yeah, there's just, there's so many examples and this is mostly in the fight between
Shinra and Burns, like best examples when Shinra and Lee's just like, this that's weight attack.
And he kind of learned in the tail end of the previous season and breaks through Burns' defense
who at the same time goes stage V or whatever, stage V and has this lion form that is supposed to
look cool and imposing and everything turns black and white. The effect work is still kind of good.
It's still there, but the animation is so weirdly stiff. The choreography is so clunky and it's
in a cinematography, so bland that all of this is missing a sufficient impact. Same for the sounds
effects weirdly in that scene, like there's like, there's some moments where it's like, okay, this should
have the usual oomph, but it doesn't and I don't know why, like, why are these people not here that were
there? It's too see. What happens? It's the same, it's the same sound director. Yes, exactly,
but it's super weird that maybe it was a rush job, maybe something didn't work out, something went
wrong in the mix or everything, or it was, it just felt lesser because the accompanying animation
wasn't up to par. So I don't know, it's just the whole season you'll get the feeling that it's trying to,
okay, in the next scene, in the next episode, we're gonna have the big thing, the big fight,
the big cool-looking shit and it never gets there. It never gets there. Why? In the first two seasons,
you constantly had this. And for every character actually, like every character had a standout fight,
really well out, any made its fight since Hinawa, Maki and Shinra, of course, he had the most well
all-goon, had an incredible fight in the second season, with the second reactor aside where they are,
discovered, pion everything. And he fights this one demon and fernel and that fight, Jesus Christ,
that looked so fucking cool, nothing like that is in this season, nothing, especially not at that length,
like I said, there's a few snippets at the very end and at the very beginning, but everywhere else,
what it needs to be, like the whole fight between Arthur and Dragon, which is still the best
to show looks in that particular mini arc in the prison raid. But the fight between Shinra and Burns
needed to be a show stopper, that needed to be the blockbuster fight of this show probably because
it was so heavily teased and these are the two powerhouses in this show. And it looks like it looks
and you're like, "hmm, such a bummer." And this is my biggest problem with this season. There's a
couple of other problems like Jon already alluded to in terms of pacing and everything, but I could
would be able to look past that if the animation was there, but it isn't. And that such a bummer,
especially coming out of rewatching season one and two and having such a great time with it.
And then season three is just a lackluster experience and that, yeah, that bump me out, that bump me out.
Looking at something now that apparently they had a show that aired right after, say,
apparently just wrapped, called Onmio Kaiten rebirth, reverse rebirth, that's not about it in
parts name, but I would hope that didn't cut into the production of this somehow. I don't know
if you said when we were talking and discord that maybe they might be sort of juggling too much
at once. Yeah, maybe, maybe. Like stretching them whole thing. Holy Jesus, I'm looking at the list,
the list of animation directors for this show. It's like double the length of fire for season three.
Well, maybe try to see if there's some overlap with season one and two in regards of the names,
then we have our culprit. I don't know, we can edit it. And after the effect or as a small info on
blue sky, whatever, but that could look like it at first glance. Okay, even so. And maybe, again,
I didn't also check the the staff list of steel boron. So maybe some of the people from season one
two of fire force moved over to that that could also be the case. Maybe something else happened.
It might be too early to get that comprehensive of a staff list for steel ball run. So
you'll have to wait and see on that. Yeah, I mean, we can put that in the steel ball run review,
which will happen. Of course, yes, because we are both JoJo heads, but yes, it's still either way,
no matter what the reason for this is, even if it's an understandable one, it's still a bummer.
It doesn't change the fact that this season looks so par compare, especially compared to season one
and two, which looks spectacular. And it's like, why does this have to happen in the final stretch? Why,
other management is, I mean, sometimes things work, just don't work out, but it's just so frustrating
when this happens in the final stretch of a soul. Yeah. And again, I didn't go back and watch the first
two seasons. So I'm going off your word on this, but just trust me. Yeah, it's not in day. It's really
night and day. If you put the most impressive fights and there's so many in the first two seasons of
that next to whatever the season has to offer, even the well animated bits, like they're so short
in this, they're so, so just a couple of seconds. And in the previous two seasons, you have like just
several entire fights that are on that animation. Oh, like, you're like, oh, Jesus. It's just can change
it, but you can still bitch about it, which I'm doing. But with this out of the way, we can go into
the plot. This is my, this was my biggest thing I had to say about the season. And again, maybe,
maybe the second part will look better. I don't know. We'll see. I hope it definitely, but
but yeah, there is like animation isn't the only thing for the first two seasons of Fireforce had to
offer. They also had pretty cool characters and a pretty cool story. So how about that? What is
happening in that regard in this season? So one of the first bits that jumped out of me was we get a
confirmation that Jonah, you know, the weird art guy from the White Glad was the one posing as,
you know, the founder of the Holy Soul Temple, Raffles, the first the entire time. And because I
rewatch season one, two, I really was like, holy shit, that author already revealed in season one
that you and I would be the one to pose as Raffles. And yup, he did. He said the first time he encounters
that fucking, he's like, that guy is weird. He wears a fake face. And that's not his true face. I smell
it. It was like, what? In the first season, you make nothing of that. And it's like holy shit.
They, they, they foreshadowed that heavily that he would be the guy who was doing the mechanations
in the background. And he's definitely the weirdest guy. He seems to be from a dollar, right?
Because he looks so fucking alien with his true face. And we haven't gotten his full story,
yet, which I assume will happen if the in the final part, if they don't cut that short or something.
But yeah, and yeah, author also powers up by imagining having acquired the most powerful RPG
equipment. Absolute legend. So like you said already in introduction, we have the White Glad
imprisoning Obi, abducting and imprisoning him via the military police who is now under their
control. I mean, to the outside world, it feels like the Holy Temple has forged in the legions
with them. But like you said, how may I can control my minds? Well, kind of her ability is interesting.
Yeah, more like just the power of suggestion. Yes, suggestion, empathy in a way like her ability
talking heads is very interesting because instead of a straightforward mind control, she's more like
manipulating the emotions she picks up from people to bend their will in her favor.
So what they call their talking heads, I don't remember. Yeah, yeah, talking heads. Man, that's
a, that's a JoJo standing in because that's just a band. Well, there you go. I mean, I feel like
we have several band references and fire force to agree. I mean, we have music reference. We have
corner stuff and everything that, you know, Shinra throws up for one of his special moves.
Yeah. So there's some rock and roll stuff in here. I mean, it's not as, it's not as, like, as pointed,
not as omnipresent as in JoJo's. Yes, because JoJo's is all about music, like in every possible,
where every fucking name is a reference to something, a song, an album, a band,
which the name of your stand arrow Smith. Not in the American version. Oh, god.
Don't know. Little bomber. So it's what she does to burns to convert him to the white clats,
belief and go beliefs and goals, which is to turn the world into a new sun, like she uses his
own beliefs, which because he's a very stop believer in, you know, the teachings of the Holy
Soul Temple. She uses his teachings against him to make her work for, make him work for them.
And she does this to several other people. I would assume also to the head of the church and
everything. And it's really interesting. This, I can already mention this here, but that happens
pretty much at the, say, very end of the show. We get a very interesting short glimpse into
what this power slash curse actually does to her. Like we see her in several parts in the season
in close off in a room, just screaming an agony, like complete pain. She's drooling from all the
pain. It's almost not bearable for her. And you're wondering what is happening. You can guess
you see a confirmation of that in like in the last episode in the penultimate episode of this
first core of this third season. She cannot properly filter the, all the voices she can hear through
her power. So she is at least when she needs to use them, I guess, maybe not all the time, but maybe
all the time. It's not, it's not clear. Maybe all the time. She hears all these fucking voices in her
head blasting at full volume. And it's, it's just, it's, you would go insane if that happened to you.
Like, and she somehow powers through it. Maybe her, her weird crown headband thing also protects
her a bit from that, but mostly doesn't apparently. And if I wondered about that is it's not,
I figured that crown thing would have some purpose. Maybe it doesn't. And it sure, maybe it amplifies the
other side of her power set, which is like her having electrical powers, right? It could be like
in a conductor in some kind in some way and works in that regard. Maybe it amplifies some of
air powers. Maybe, maybe that's the reason why she's in so much pain because maybe it amplifies her,
her ampereth, her mind reading powers, but the flip side of that is right that she hears all the voices
so very loud because she hears all of them because she needs to for some reason to, to make her,
to her suggestion powers work. That could be the case, right? Maybe they will eventually
expand on maybe, maybe I hope so. It would be interesting to see, but that's an interesting power set
is always nice to see a, here's this super powerful character, but their power has a huge downside.
And yeah, makes this whole thing much more interesting. And I wonder, maybe it's not as problematic
when she has someone to focus her power on because she can focus on their voice specifically
and filter out all the other noise, but she can't do that all the time. So when she doesn't have anyone,
that would have been an interesting thing to add to her relationship with Karan because he's one of
the coolest characters in this show on the villain side anyway. And him just maybe talking to her would
help her like block out the other voices and reduce the pain, but it doesn't seem like that's
what's happening because she doesn't really want to talk to him most of the time. So, but yes,
that's much for her. So she converts Burns and tells him, in prison, Obi and everything. And we see a
flashback when we go into how we have set several flashbacks between Obi and Tinava and how much of a
tight unit they are and how Obi, it's nice to see in this flashback, in this particular one that
jumped out at me to see him saying that he had he'd have no problem with Tinava having either a
girlfriend or a boyfriend. And this is not diffusing the allegations of Obi being the dead and Tinava
being the mom of company eight. Oh, she's gonna say. Yeah, absolutely not. So we need to do a couple
of fun bits in regards to relationships and this like there's this this small talk between the
entirety of company eight and some other ones like Captain Hibana is also there. When they talk about
who would work best in a relationship with who at the in like at the final episode of this or the
one before that, which is also very funny and it's very like, huh, interesting you would say that.
I mean, a lot of this stuff is obvious and Iris is definitely the most funny thing here, like
basically throwing gasoline in the fire like whole canisters while smiling. She knows what she's
doing. Oh, she absolutely. And I think Machi comments on that is like these innocent types are
absolutely dangerous or something like that. So it's great. Like, but it's really nice to see all the
character. I am Machi's into Hinawa of course and and Hibana is into Shinra, but also maybe some of
these characters, maybe what match with other characters better and so on. I really hope Shinra is not
getting together with Tomaki by the end of this Jesus fucking Christ. It could happen. I mean,
I mean, yeah, there could be worse choices, but yeah, yeah, I get what you're saying. Yeah,
like Tomaki is a good girl, but you know, oh, we'll get to her. Jesus fucking Christ.
That's why I say that's why I say she is what she is. Yes. I blame Okubo for this for all of this
because it says manga and he wrote her this way and it's just it's just mean. It's just it's just so mean
how he treats the character. Maybe he has a grudge against these kind of characters and I get it.
I don't like Sundar is particularly well either, but holy shit, he hates her guts. The way this
Tomaki is treated to through the entirety of this story, like she's the biggest downside of
fire force, the humor that humor quote unquote that comes from her character and how all her
ambitions and her her potential of progressing, of evolving from that are sabotaged, especially in
this season. It's an insult. It's it's it's rough. It's tragic. So yeah, but before that, like I said,
defaults accusations of all be kidnapping Shinra and holding him hostage are spread by the public
news program and taking at face value by most of the people. Also, a lot of the other fire force
people in the other companies, which was kind of disheartening to see. Well, they don't know what's
going on. Yeah, I get it, but also like you've worked with these people and you're just jumping to
conclusion because a fucking news anchor tells you the thing for yourself, you fucking idiot.
Like the one to your own research. Yeah, the one guy in August team pissed me off. Like he's
when he says about first he's like, oh, yeah, I believe that will be kidnapped and then he's like when
they want to rescue Shinra, he killed his family. Why would he we can't be trusted?
Like what the fuck? What are you just contrarian or are you just a fucking idiot because you want to be
like holy shit. I guess it makes sense that some of his the stuff in his hair is red like make
fire force great again or what the fuck? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, horrible. But yeah, I mean,
Ogan pulls him to his side, I guess, but still like what a piece of shit character. Anyway,
Lich finally reveals to the eight that he has been working with Joker to unravel the truth from
the shadows, which we knew from the first season on, of course, because the viewer got to see more
of that than than the other people. And and yeah, from that an uneasy alliance is for like Joker and
the eighth rate of food to penitentiary where Obi's being held captive Shinra and Joker are the advanced
team that will also function as a distraction while the other sneak and get Obi out. Arthur comes
in a bit late due to reasons. But you know, it's nice. He dreams about becoming a drag slayer and then
he kind of gets to try to be that he hasn't achieved it yet, but I assume that's gonna happen in
the in the next part that he's gonna slay the new character dragon. Get into him a bit later, but
the main centerpiece fight and character relation, everything is of course burns and you know,
crucifying fucking Obi there and try to with the with the insects and everything. And I guess him
shifting allegiances aside from all the Herméas mind manipulation stuff kind of works, I guess.
First of course, you know, there's what I just said, Herméas influence, but also him being able to
witness Adela firsthand must have been a truly religious experience for such a devout believer in
the existence of any kind of God. Like we later see in a flashback in episode six that he was an
absolute faithful believer in soul and he prayed day in and day out. But considering things got
worse and worse for humanity, he probably at least subconsciously over time got the impression that
his prayers are not being answered by his God. He camps psychologically tolerate the idea that his
prayers and faith were insufficient, so he just turns towards the one somewhat undeniable
existence of a higher being that was presented to him. You know, which is the evangelist, I guess,
and Adela and you know, everything that comes from that. And he just switched his belief to the
God that he was able to get an actual glimpse of and that proved its power through all the atrocities
committed by the white clad. Guess Burns was like, well, that's a good argument for the one
and only true God being on your side. So I'll go with that and switch over to your side.
It's a very interesting take on a crisis of faith, I think, which of course is the obvious other
reading of this that is verbalized by Shinra and Joker. Like, Burns could not bear all the suffering
in the world, so he gave up on his faith and converted to a belief he could see in touch. And, you know,
it feels like Shinra and Joker convinced him of that being the case and seeing that he's doing dumb
shit right by the end before he gets like abducted, killed, whatever by his doppelganger taken to
Adela, whatever happens there. I've got to say, voltage nova had about two more stages to it than I
was expecting. Yes. I wish it looked as good as it could have or as good as in season one,
like the first stage of that. It just sort of kept going and I was like, oh, okay, what do you mean?
There's another, what do you mean? We're going super say in six. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and with the
animation budget and people on this that we had in season one and two, this probably would have
been like the most kick ass super say and form outside of Dragon Ball ever. Like having like the
most intense shit happening and him and Shinra clashing really, really violently. And with this is
kind of like evaporates mostly. We have some good bits between Karen and Tomayah. He is a good
protector. He can't bear having to watch how may I suffer, you know, whatever she's doing. What
cause there's so much pain even if it's not blocking, being able to block out the other voices or
accumulating the collective unconsciousness or what it's called. It's causing us a veer pain
which troubles him greatly. I always like when we have villains that feel sympathetic to each other
that don't hate like everyone's got. So we have that also like we have villains in there that are just
I hate all of you and stuff like that, right? I don't care about you. But Karen and Tomayah,
Hamayah's a rich, he's really interesting and I like that he's like this big brother or father figure
to her and just wants to protect him. We have that with Arrow and show as well, I guess, right? Yeah.
Here it's kind of nice when the villains are in Teganistic to one another like dig it.
Make your villains feel like a team. Yes. Exactly. Like you can do get so much more interesting stuff
out of your villains actually having a working relationship and not trying to backstep each other
all the time and I'm so sick of that and that's done so many times like, "Ah, I was the main master
might all along" and you were only part of my my game and plan, "You could do that. That could
be cheesy fun, but it's so much more emotionally interesting and potentially rewarding if you have
a good character relationship on the villain side, like proper motivation based in that relationship."
Which is probably why Karen is doing what he's doing because he just wants to protect the person
that is most important to him and that is cool and like I said, you have that with show on Arrow 2,
like at the end of the season we have show like trying to meet up with his brother and he's like,
don't obstruct me, Arrow or kill you and she's like, I am just, you are my mission. My mission is
to protect you. I don't care about anything else. If you so we go, say we go there, we go there and I
don't care about the orders of the higher white clad about how mayors orders and everything. My only,
I am a straight arrow and I was shot in direction of protecting you and that's where I'm going to go
and I don't care about anything else and it was nice. It's like, okay, that's cool. That's really
neat. Like she's just a devoted protector and I just like this kind of stuff. I like these kind of
partnerships, these somewhat, not maybe devoted, yes, but also these somewhat heartfelt to an extent
loyalty-based relationships between characters on the villain side. I like when villain characters,
of course, hero characters too, but you have that there all the time. On villains, it's much less
common to have like this feeling of loyalty between these teammates, these assembled one,
these characters that strive for a common goal and I really like when shows do that. I think
that's always great. So yeah, glad to see this in here. Definitely one of the good parts of the
season again to have these villains, the villains being more, I guess slightly being made more
slightly sympathetic in that regard, at least some of them. But yeah, the second team made up of
Tamaki, you know, a marquee later author, Leicht and Iris, right? They have to fight gold.
The white clad destroyer with magnetism ish powers who killed and crucified Captain Hague or hog,
or whatever he is called, the old guy with the weird mesochism fetish. That was her. She can
control every metal weapon the team uses or throws at her, which is quite troublesome. But yeah,
we have that and then we have another big disappointment in the season and that is the person that is
supposed to fight her and take her down is Tamaki. And with all the fuss being made at the end of
season two for Tamaki ostensibly finally becoming a force to be reckoned with in battle. It's kind of
very disappointing to see that her first big attack doesn't do shit and that is not her speed that
helps her if that goals attacks, which she, you know, that that's all like the last two episodes of
season two besides training author and Shinra in the deathwaite ability were her learning to actually
be a force to be reckoned with in the fights like her upgrading his speed to a degree so she could have
almost power or power on the same level as the two twin girls from company seven.
You know, the words of Benimaru and Conro. She played a tag with them and got super fast and
everything managed to clad herself in this weird fire cat armor and that when I saw that in the
at the end of season two is like, oh, okay, she's gonna have a standout fight in this season.
No, I mean she tries to do a thing but it does like I said, it does do shit and then she has like
this thing like like a path she stripped off her pants again and because that help makes her lose
her belt buckle, gold can throw her around anymore and that's all it's funny in that regard that
everyone gets rid of their pants after that and he know what loudly proclaims that they post every
year for the new new colorless so they have no shame to worry about this.
So that was that was a nice bit. I I will agree to that but like the humiliation of Tamaki will
not stop at this point. Now at this point they're using her ass as a cooking stove which makes it
look like she's letting out a giant pink fart at some point and it's so demeaning.
It's so like I expected her to have this kick ass fight against any kind of white clad and it
would have been nice. I mean she didn't have a particular relationship to Kettinhey or a hog or
or something like that so someone else might have been more interesting but still it would have
been cool to see her fight like it's a powerful white clad character and take take them out which
we didn't really have from her. She was also always one of the also rants in the fights but I was
expecting like now she has the power now she has the speed she can do it and then we all her
her fight is again turned into a giant fucking joke again and then was just
why are you doing this to this poor girl I don't understand like I don't get it I don't like a
character type but it doesn't mean that you can treat her like shit the entire series it's like
and don't don't give me the hope that you finally gonna turn this around and turn it into a proper
character forced to be reckoned with someone with a real cool power set and then you just turn
it around and make her a joke again that sucks that's really sucks I hated this I hated this so much
I mean I like Tomaki but she just gets constantly done so dirty and it's like come on and let her
have like one moment maybe she'll get that closer to the end maybe crossing my fingers here
the problem is she also doesn't really have any stake in any of this right we got to
take background story in season two and that was pretty good but like she doesn't have a direct rival
you rivalery with anyone on the villain side right I think most of this aside from Arthur now with
dragon okay uh Machi I don't know really we have Vulcan who has a rivalry with Giovanni so we could
have a tag team where Vulcan is involved right and then with someone of the others and Shinra and
show technically I guess Shinra with everyone else there are a couple of things but she's one of the
characters where it's like you don't at least at this point don't have a direct who took out no the
person who took out Jagannade is already dead so that's that's past yeah I don't know um maybe we
will get that in the second part but for now her character has been done dirty again thankfully
Lisa is interfering with her own magnetism powers which I didn't remember she had and I just
watched season one and two back to back so hmm and uh then that distraction leads to you know a no-scope
patch-shotting gold which is pretty cool but it could have looked so much cooler with proper animation
quality so uh yeah but then we have Arthur who just casually walks up and takes out stream which is
the next wipe that destroyer they have to fight with wind powers or whatever in one hit that was bad
ass um also looked pretty pretty okay uh on the other side of things there's the burns fight
happening uh we have a funny bit where Obi worked out so much in his cell that he uh the insect can't
get through his muscles he's just constantly flexing so hard that was really good that was a great
bit yes a lot of the humor in the show still works like I would say all the humor in the show is great
aside from the tummy key stuff um firefoss was always a very funny show the art of stuff being to me
anyway the funniest stuff in here and oh yeah Arthur stuff is basically peak yeah Arthur is peak
comedy in the show it's everything everything he does everything he says every scene he is involved in
is fucking funny so that's why he's my probably my favorite character in this show so uh I think he's
everyone's favorite I would talk so I would talk so people uh that people would see uh be uh
beyond his being an idiot but um yeah so this was one of the examples where this is also uh
was also incredibly funny like the stuff flexing all the time everyone complimenting his muscles to
give him powers also hilarious like that's good shit that's good shit and that works even without
good animation so I guess the parts where the comedy is done in this season which is not that much actually
this is where the season shines because this is where the missing uh animation quality is not
as noticeable so yeah due to his name and his ability to transform his body into that of an
infernal um dragon activates Arthur's uh larp powers and Arthur is even able to conjure a cool protective
cape but it's not enough uh dragon destroys Arthur's weapon Excalibur there's one like I said one good
very short sacugasin in this episode uh in where they fight where it's like oh finally we're getting
there and after that it's right back to the lower qualities i was a bummer uh we have joker and
shindra um who can't get past burns to remove the insect from obese uh body who can flex forever so
there's a viso of a tense time uh timer counter on this right uh or timer counting down uh so that's
neat and burns powers to more it's more stages like john mansions and gets more and more powerful
with every passing episodes uh problem is the fight between shindra and burns just doesn't look
that good uh not even it feels like it doesn't really go anywhere no exactly like they fight
we have fighting each other to a stalemate and it's like okay yeah and then and then a doppelganger appears
burns doppelganger anyway and takes him to a dolo whatever and uh i don't even know why that happens
at this point maybe because he stopped fighting shindra or whatever or he lost yeah he lost shindra
kicks him at least he doesn't really lose like i said it's more of a stalemate because he's still
awake and still conscious and still might be able to fight but it seems like uh he is at least for
now taking out a bit and then he gets impaled or whatever by by a doppelganger and take to a dolo
so that's it for now he he probably will come back in one way or another or this they all gonna
travel to a dolo whatever and have a final fight there i don't know but yeah it's like cluster
it's like it's missing the impact that it needed did this might partially be also because of the
manga material and what they do with it but if this fight looked like the standout fights and sees one
and two you probably wouldn't have noticed as much and it was just just have been awesome uh
i'm gonna laugh so hard if by the end of this it turns out that fire force is a prequel to sole
eater and/or a dollar actually being the world from that show or something like that but so far i
think the smiling/grinning moon just like uh death size cameo in season two were just funnots to
occubose other famous work and nothing more but that's just you know the moon just constantly
is is dare and just like what why is this suddenly the case yeah i wonder but i feel like that isn't
there for no reason you know i don't know it might just be a fun cameo like i said like the death
side thing just being there hey here it's from the same guy who did sole a sole eater so
but i also didn't read or watch sole eater so yeah we'll see i mean i will probably clarify that by
the end i and i don't feel like there's anything in sole eater that maybe they the
universe gets rebooted by the end of this and then suddenly turns out a shinra sole eater or whatever
on fucking no that wouldn't match this character but uh that would be a thing i mean they both have
like jaggy teeth so who knows um let's see but yeah iris blocks dragon's attack with divine grace
don't remember not sure if she has unleashed her power before but we know that she has some connection
to the girl inside of amatorasu right because shinra has seen that girl and said she looks like iris
so there's something going on between those two and i'm interested to see what they do with her
and what her role in all of this is because so far she's been on the side she's done the the praying
and so on uh she hasn't really done anything else in the fights and this is her first real like powerful
interaction or uh turning around the ties of the battle with her powers that we didn't even see
before this and uh will be interesting to see what role she has to play in the final stretch of
the story inca our future seeing girl or or uh medium whatever spals that the aether will survive
this right before a bany maro arrives with a stupid mask they know no it's not bany maro it's a
moonlight mask moonlight mask yes nobody nobody buys that that this this guy's this guy's
who could be who could it be yeah i don't know well yeah yeah yeah but uh it was fun like it was
fun him appearing and uh it could be making that mask for him which matches his eyes so that's cool
but yeah the the the crew escapes with obi unscathed and everything you know all well that ends well
i guess um some of the just white clad destroyers taken out and everything everyone from our team
survived and they escape again in the direction of the town where company seven recites i forgot
the name of that district but uh yeah uh then and the next small mini arc bit has hibana going to the
runes of the sand raffles convent where she was that she was part of with together with iris as a
child that burned down at some point because all her the other sisters young sisters in this convent
turned into infernals and she is going there to investigate the origin of the doppelgangers she
is going intending to go there alone but karyam and huyan or harva's name is pronounced
join up with her uh after the fact find to find proof that the girls that were part of the convent
all named after flowers were fed a dollar in sex with which is hibana's uh suspicion and i don't know
how far the show has even talked about doppelgangers before i think it's at the in the very last episode
like doppelgangers are another version of you that existed in a dollar it feels kind of like this
concept came out of nowhere because doppelgangers were only mentioned before this season at the
tail end of the previous season by con row uh when he talks about the demon infernal he fought uh previously
that seemed eerily as similar to him in terms of power set and that fight caused his tepthrozes and
everything uh i remember that much but i don't think the term doppelganger was really used after that
so when the concept was reintroduced the season it was really confusing for a while because the show
treated it like it was this well-known thing among our main actors it's like wait what are doppelgangers
again when were these deduced yeah they sort of you're right they did touch on it previous like you
touched on it the latest yes previously and then they're all like oh we're gonna learn about doppelgangers
and i'm just sitting here like wait huh yes yes but the problems they used to term before that like it
was was just like everyone knew about it it was super weird and con row i don't even know if con row
used the term doppelgangers i think he just said something like this guy this person or this
this demon i thought was had almost had the same power as i did almost like a doppelganger uh right
and that was the extent of that and then in this season everyone's talking about them like they're
like a well-established thing and what they are and it's like he but i explained all of this to us
hey here uh there are other versions that of you that exist in in adola and are like what okay
how she started we we see a starting up on that but where did she read that and what okay i wonder
that was talked about in a little better detail in the manga maybe it was some of the material
that was cut but then again like you said john the pacing of this season is all over the place so
it feels like yeah why did you even cut that like it's not like you had that much story to tell in
the season that you did so what it was weird any a weirdly small amount of story across 40 chapters
yes exactly so probably more extensive elaboration on that in the manga um but yeah we learned that
the the head sister or one of the head sisters from the content is is responsible for this she is
i don't know what she is she's probably she's also working with the white clad we don't know
so she's probably from also from adola maybe she has like these uh this vibration powers um
uh can make anything vibrant in a different frequency and cause i don't know earthquakes and
such shit like that and i think also open doors to adola um not sure but yeah she you know once that is
revealed we learn more about the whole adola and toppling a shit like the population of toppling
is another like well equals the one in the normal world so everyone has everyone has a double
and when they try to become one with the people in normal world human combustion happens
unless you are powerful enough to withstand it uh then it lets you borrow their powers which is i
guess what happens to uh nataku and um who else if we have that got fed these these these i mean
probably shinra right i mean my assumption is that everyone who has fire powers and didn't turn into
an infernal got at some point maybe stung by an insect or something like that i'm not sure
make that makes sense but it's still not clear yeah i'm i'm not they haven't fully clarified
everyone if some of this stuff is just you know genetics and if if your father had fire powers you
also inherit fire powers or you know if this is all the insects or something like that but at least
some of them get that that's how it works for them and if they are not powerful enough they will
get just taken over by their infernal doppelganger and um yeah the cease to exist we have this really
harrying scene where she's like where the sisters the the the the the friends of hibana and iris just
appear as these small children infernal and are saying it birds it hurts so much help me really cool
cool moment uh and uh gets hibana understandably riled up and everything uh so she's probably gonna take
out sumire uh in in the final stretch of the show if there's enough time for having all these
clashes i mean there's so many white clad left and uh so many people to fight each other i wonder
how they're gonna fish it all of that into 12 episodes they're shedding so much up and it's like
yeah yeah but like i said it's either gonna be more than 12 episodes or movie wrap up something
like it's not gonna feel great if they can ns 80 chapters down to 12 episodes
just didn't feel great when they did it for 40 chapters for this season so yeah uh let's see
we'll see what happens but yeah we learned that the first grade cataclysm was a failure whatever
Sumire intended to do didn't work because the number of pillars was insufficient but that also
means she has been around for 250 years someone like yona i assume um she was one of the previous pillars
and you know uh she's powerful unexpectedly so considering her alter appearance but maybe that's
not a real appearance just like with yona but yeah the the three or three uh fire company people
can escape due to the interference of the woman in black we met in season two that is the core of the
second uh amateur asu reactor the team found in defrost with all the animals and then after this
moment we have the best thing in this season like bar none the best part of season three because
vulcan and author go on a quest to find some real orry halkon to reforge ex-calibur because as expected
the previous version of ex-calibur was not made from that metal that legendary ore but from some
generic heat resistant material found at a home improvement store but you mean it wasn't work
outcome of course the entire quest is make believe because that legendary ore does not exist and vulcan
knows that um you know he robs in lisa and you and tells them to dump themselves down to author's
level to make this fantasy work because he thinks like hey as long as we can deliver convincing
performance author whatever metal i use to forge his new sword author will believe that it's the
legendary sword now which will make him more powerful because author's entire power level or
or author's power level is entirely based in him being able to uh to live uh his fantasy that he
cocks up in his head of him being in the night king and everything living living in uh in a j-opergy
and everything so vulcan has this all laid out for example he has normal shopkeepers repeat the same
script over and over again to make author believe it's like an NPC in an old school up which is
which is that is fucking amazing like to even think about this little detail like this whole segment
is incredible and garnished with some nice eight slash sixteen bits style graphics to match the
look of the theme it's just hey this is again this is where this season shined in the comedy bits
that are not necessarily like super well animated but that have great design choices great humor great
comedy bits some nice character parts and everything and i love that i assume it was for the same for
you john oh of course this basically fools errands that they go on was probably one of the best
parts of this season oh for sure it was the best part for me uh the problem is author is so stupid
that he misinterprets one of the hints and decides that the oriak on must be in the nether
everyone was like no no which is where the light is over this way yeah and he's like no it has to be in
the nether and everyone's like oh okay this is a whole thing now and authors parents are alive
for some reason like dumb hell they run into them into the never uh nether we learned they had to
escape due to their accumulated death and are now pretending to lead a resistance in the nether so
author was abandoned by his irresponsible parents and based his entire fantasy persona on the lie they
wrote on the note when they left which we're already saw in the first season this is also very sad
but also unbelievably hilarious that's so cruel but there is a plot twist because it actually turns out
they know everything about what is going on with the government and evangelist and the holy soul temple
because author's dad can apparently see the truth of this world whenever he retreats into his
own fantasies i was just completely baffled by this like does he have a connection with the author of
the manga there's another thing happening at the end of the season which has me like this is this
show going to go into massive fourth wall breaking at the end like i wouldn't put it past it but it was
this was the first moment was like what what what is going on what is happening is this a bit is
this a joke is this something substantial what uh and they also had three kids in another all while
pretending they couldn't take author with them because it was too dangerous the amount of scumbagery
here is astounding it completely appalls you who is on the verge of losing his mind anyway and
absolutely is the audience surrogate here i felt so sorry for that kid it's like it's really i
i don't get it why did they how could they have three more kids and leave them behind because they're
assholes they're all people i guess but it's like what they're like deweurs and i think the show states
that kind of right huh the boy family loves their freedom i guess like uh thankfully author
isn't registering any of this since they found the headpiece of a space rocket in his parents trash
collection that make him fantasize about having a sword made from space metal so yeah and right
after that he gets abandoned by his parents yet again a second time but oh well that ends well
because now he has a proper sword i guess this is also deeply fucked up and also the best and
darkly funniest thing in the show what an amazing character a sir it's incredible like this whole segment
just i was i was hit the edge of my seat it was like what is going on what are you doing to my boy
it's just uh amaze really hate your audition and they disappear and it's like what do you
wait yes it's just wow your parents are real shitbags are thought about apparently he doesn't care
anymore he's just so deeply entrenched in his own fantasies he's just he's not processing any of
this he's just completely gone like you can't get him out of there but he's happy i guess he's happy
living this this night fantasy and being part of company eight if that makes him happy if he can
deal with this loss of his parents like that and he doesn't seem to hold any grudge towards him
like it's okay but holy shit what a fucked up what a fucked up background story it's so
horrible but it's funny so um yeah show uh shinra's brother uh at this point and i talked about this
when i talked about the need loyalty uh relationship uh loyal relationship between some of the characters
on the villain side of things he starts formulating his own will aside from serving the will of the
evangelist and decides to meet his brother arrow follows as she's protector and loyal to him of any
other master we have uh scoped a little mole uh appearing in tokyo he was from the the gang ran into
him in season two he can talk and tells a way to elaborate story about his journey to tokyo and how
came how he came up with a shuriyukan uh and at this point all the pillars have gathered and the
cataclysm ritual is about to begin we meet the last pillar fairy who doesn't have a protector
but is one of the white pet already uh according to the exposition mole for the cataclysm to succeed
humanity had to evolve to a level where they could calculate slash the cipher pie and the key jiovani
stole from volcan in the first season is ostensibly able to do that so everything is coming together
is like what was that even about and now we know oh okay that's cool and uh the pie stuff was
introduced in the second season so it's all you know it's all coming together and we finally understand
why all of this had to happen why it took so long to uh enact a second cataclysm and everything
Summary summons an actual 500 meter tall pillar in the tokyo bay and apparently also a giant
kaiju that protects it when all eight pillars or summit the cataclysm will have begun or so
licht states and like i said the artery attack of unit two against the kaiju looks pretty cool
we have jaganar trying to shoot at the kaiju and shendra blocking it leaving him unconscious for a while
because according to scop the pillar is a plug for a giant underwater volcano of course i guess
that makes sense like that that is how the cataclysm is uh uh is happening like if all of the eight
pillars are somehow plugs for this network of volcanoes and all of those are pulled out or destroyed
at the same time then the world will be engulfed in flames probably so that seems to be the
the long term or the the ultimate plan or what they intend to do unconscious shendra is about to be
abducted by fairy who seems to be able to control gravity um but show interviews to save his brother
with also again i was like oh this is gonna look good right and then him jumping on the arrows of
arrow just looks so stiff and flimsy and it's like uh this this could have looked so cool with the
proper proper amount of sakuga him moving around fairy like this is like these are the because fairy
makes fun of this like there's such a weird protector tech i would have been the perfect protector for you
why why using her and shows like no these are exactly the way uh where they're supposed to be
they're not like a focus or whatever because i need to get to you and i i'm using them as stairs
as ladders that was super cool and if if there was have been a super fast animated animation would
been very nice yeah it was a knee but it was just lacking some punch to it yeah absolutely like most
of the season in terms of the animation i mean fairies uh gravity powers kind of need to say
a little disorienting seems falling upward into the sky but you know in context i guess it makes
sense yes i mean it looks like he's changing the way the world is aligned right and you know they
they switch uh they turn the screen upside down and everything suddenly characters are falling towards
the sky but i think he's just changing the the gravitational force of the specific characters
right and that's why that's why they're moving around suddenly which is cool um show saying there was
no sense of impact when he slashes at fairy is heavily ironic because that's exactly what i've
been thinking about most of the fights in the season it's just like you don't say don't do them like that
dang uh and yeah we have kurnow fighting uh the titan and this final tech was one of the real
sakuga moments in the show look really cool with this like black suit forum and everything
so widely inconsistent animation levels at this point because right after that it goes back to
looking very you know and then we have the weird stuff with fairy and show which doesn't look good
and then you have this you have one scene with ogon which looks pretty damn cool good and it goes
back to not looking good then it goes to the kurnow a final attack against the titan which looks great
so i'm like what do we have like one guy on your team or two who can still deliver a full sakuga
moments but they can only do like one one small two second scene every every like 10 episodes doesn't
i don't know but uh that that was kind of kind of it and yeah we have like the titan the destroying
titan i think like his essence or its essence or whatever goes to the pillar and turns into black
i don't know if that will eventually destroy it maybe that was interesting uh we have shinra
forming an adolalink with inca and they both travel to the past which is the final thing that happens
in this season uh before uh to the past specifically uh right before the first cataclysm happens
shit gets super wild we see a bunch of photographs from our reality which shinra is wild shinra is still
animated and that could be a style choice right uh or you know to save money because they don't have to
animate those those photographs of course but he also says what are these beings that look kind of
like people so does he recognize that he as a drawing is different from our world like from our three
dimensional world is this like more fun than about that yeah this is what was the other moment aside from
the weird stuff with a power set of others dead was like now we have these this mixed reality thing
going on and we see someone crumbling up a piece of paper in that flashback oh we see a photograph
of that and i'm like is this is this gonna do like we are all characters in the story thing uh it was
i was really interested in i was like okay where are you going with this and he inca states like he's
you gonna fall in love with me uh so i assume whatever the characters they they transported to that
are their previous incarnations from 250 years ago or whatever i had a relationship which is something
we will probably see in the next season again more shit like we have so much stuff already in terms of
what fights and character plot threads in the fights need to be resolved aside from all the fucking
apocalypse shit and then we have now this weird flashback stuff that is also needs to be resolved like
that hints at some bigger thing happening in the background and what i don't know how they will
fucking remotely be able to do this in 12 episodes john i have yeah no idea they've built up so much
and yet they've done so little it's so weird yeah we end this first core on a blonde ostensibly
older version of shindra being tied to a bat and a news report on the tv next to him states that a fifth
pillar has appeared so right before the advent of the first great cataclysm is where we are left off
in this and i don't know what to make of this i don't know how they're possibly gonna wrap all
of this shit up no idea at least not even remotely in a satisfying way i'm very worried about the finale
of this show especially since people already were very skeptical about them being able to cram all
that left of the manga into a 24 episode season and considering the pacing of this season not to
mention the huge downgraded animation quality i'm really doubtful they will be able to wrap this up in a
satisfying manner i don't really really hope they don't cram on to the next 12 episodes man could
it's what they seem to be intent to do it i feel like they'd be doing a great disservice to it though
it would be horrible it will be nightmare will be an absolute rush job like the fights will not
be long enough if they even are animated at all there will be not enough character there will
probably cut a lot of the explanations out of suit so none of that shit will make sense and they will
probably like skip a lot of the character development that's gonna happen so it's gonna be like an
absolute cluster fog i don't see if this if the next part that's airing in January is only gonna
have 12 episode and if this is truly the last thing we're gonna get out of fire force this is gonna
be a disaster i hope i really hope we're gonna get more than just these 12 episodes that are
coming up i mean let let's try to be positive about this they didn't say it's the final season it's
the third season did they so i'm not sure i'm not conflicting things i have read like reports
that they confirmed that this is the final season unless it's the final season and they do like
final season episode something like attack on titan did it yeah i mean i would be totally fine with
that i don't give a shit if they name like if we have like four more seasons that are all named the
final season whatever arc i don't care do that but don't fucking let it end in 12 episodes you
not you will not be able to do this like and David production is not known for doing this like all
the previous projects we've seen or i mean we don't let's say all the jojo stuff i don't feel like
reading from all the stuff that came out of that i don't feel like they cut any substantial bits
out of that or changed the ending to a degree to a negative degree where it didn't make sense anymore
i feel like they even upgraded the stuff from stone ocean i think where it made more sense that it
did in the manga if i remember correctly and added some stuff that added more context that made the
ending make more sense so that's the opposite of fucking it up in that regard and cutting shit out
and feel the same i think for captain subazardy abdachin of that that i saw so why fire force of all
things would get that treatment is completely beyond me considering how much effort they put into
the first two seasons makes me ask the question again what the fuck happened i yeah i just i'm so
worried we'll see to look it up because yeah i guess i missed that he it was the quote third and final
but you know again here's there'll be movies after maybe the second core will be longer i mean
that's highly unlikely in anime production but you know i yeah i don't want to see
this show that we have mostly enjoyed yes love the first two just fall and it's face and
fumble at the goal line yes yes that's always very disappointing and frustrating and so hard to
understand like if it's a but maybe it was a money thing maybe the the budget went something as
a marketing budget went something else so they had to make do with what they had for this uh maybe
the people just generally left the the the animation studio and went to another studio maybe they
didn't have enough personnel anymore i don't fucking know what happened here we're just gonna be
brainwashed you know if it changed studios i would totally understand the downgrade in quality
but it at the same studio this happening it's the same studio that produced a first two seasons and
that looked incredible and that was well written and everything and had solid pacing and now this
this this studio giving us that season i don't understand it's just so fucking weird
i always think of golden comway how it started off as being like
i will not mince words the first season production wise is a mess but then geno studio in seasons two
three they like they stepped it up super hard before i got handed off the brain space so it was like
it was cool to see them build it up like that but it's the reverse of that and again you don't know
what the reason for this is i wonder i i mean i looked a bit for that but i've so far i've only seen
like assumptions being made i've not seen any clear information of what actually was the reason for
the animation downgrade and for them doing trying to do all of this in another 24 episode season
maybe because the manga is wrapped up and they can't use it as advertisement anymore
for coming chapters or something like that maybe that's why it was cut short i don't fucking know
i mean the manga has been over for two almost two years at this point so like
it hasn't it been almost two years since the end of season two oh god you're right
so that kind of lines with that what is time so yeah maybe that was the whole reason i don't know
but it's still just fucking finished your show the right way like two years excuse me almost three years
over three years because i was going off the dates of the tanko bone okay okay okay
so yeah i don't know uh maybe eventually we'll learn what happened and the only thing we can do
now is hope that the final part of season three of this of this show is gonna give us a somewhat
satisfying ending in some way or another but i have my doubts but hope is all we have left at this point
so it's actually a rare case where the entire manga is actually all translated as well apparently
yeah and maybe you know depending on how the ending of this shakes out i will go back and read the manga
at least the the final arc of this and the manga to see what this what the intended ending of this was
but yeah first let's see you know that's something i would like to do as well if it shakes out or like
i always want to do this façolita as well because that had an anime original ending which could
happen here as well uh i kind of wanted to do that for attack on titan but our friends were like
you started the anime only you're going to finish anime only in that spoil the ending and i was like
fine and then when they changed parts of that it was like oh yeah yeah it feels like probably
it was better to experience it in anime form first because of some of the missteps that the manga did
i guess yeah at the anime walking some of that back a bit and trying to put more context to that
and giving us more of an apologue and everything so uh yeah uh probably not the worst choice
to go anime first here but yeah um let's see what let's say what happens with five force we'll know in
January but yeah john where can we where can people what people leave it's almost January though
yes like when the when the show started and you're like oh it's gonna be two quarters in part two is
gonna be in jayneuary it's like god that's so long wait and now it's almost October Jesus christ
where can people watch the season or the half of this season of fire force uh i could watch it on
crunchy roll you could watch it on hulu i'm sure it's on other surfaces depending where you're okay
depending where you live it's also on Netflix as well so it is accessible if you want to i do
understand if you don't i've heard from several people who stop watching because of this season which i
can understand we'll see uh what the final part has to offer and i hope we will not go get off
just completely dissolutioned with long-running anime series i mean we had some good some good ones
we brought to a close but i would have liked to fire for fire force to be also one of those uh
right now it doesn't look like it will be uh i mean we still have the first two seasons but like i
said it starts strong and ends on a sour note you remember that sour note that's the only one the first
two seasons might still be there and they're still great but for anyone who wants to finish the story
they'll either have to shift to the manga or just you know ignore that season three exists kind of like
wait how many seasons was uh shokugeki no so ma oh that's right it was four there wasn't a season five
that's true it ended on the best season season four yeah all right uh so uh there that's it for our
review of fire force season three part one uh next one will follow in the not to distant future
but before we leave you for summer and move over to fall there's still one little thing we have to do
[Music]
last of the season all right best of the season time
um uh john what you got fire force season three
i'm kidding i'm kidding uh i do think there are things too like about season three but it's
obviously i don't think it's even close to being in the running um and which is unfortunate uh it
was nice to see the girls of leica is recoil back but you know that was also you know a short
things so i don't think it should also be in the running but you know hopefully it is
that it means there are other bigger better things in the future for it so hopefully we'll see
high chances that it will uh get itself uh uh best of the season award when the next big thing
whatever that is comes out of that franchise very high chance so let's see Gundam Quax was in
the in concept but it it definitely kind of fell flat on its face toward the end which is
unfortunate because i had the potential to be something really cool uh i kind of feel the same about
Lazarus but it is a less a little bit lesser negative about it because it's still a cool story with
neat characters but it just didn't i don't feel like it was up there for me so i think i'm probably
gonna go with rock as a ladies modesty seems like that makes sense yeah because all the characters
were great the music was great the the the through line on the story was just so strong uh seeing you
know leica relating her passion for wreck music and making all these friends along the way
in turning her sit her adoptive sister onto her side so you know it was just a really strong story with a
lot of great beats get it because it's also musical got it so yeah i think that's a pretty strong
contender and i think it's prime i choice for this season cool sounds like a good pick
mm-hmm so what's yours well here's something that never happened before uh usually i either know my
best of the season picks or have trouble deciding uh like immediately or have trouble deciding
between several amazing shows but this time i don't feel particularly strong about any of the
shows the season like Lazarus and G quac started strong sometimes it's like that yeah but the wheels
came a heart of those shows by the end of their run so i don't feel like i'm like giving it to them
the most likely candidate is my hero godimavigilandies because i consistently enjoyed that show but it's
also very episodic and doesn't have any real story to speak of yet good character a bit of uh
definitely and i like the cast but it's like okay i'm still waiting for the other shoot to drop there
and fire force we just talked about like rune most of the ghost will build towards it with the two
previous incredible seasons by delivering thoroughly disappointing animation for most of this one
plus pacing issues if i gave fire for the award it would be for author and only him because he's my
king and does also my loyalty but the problem is fire force never got any rewards from us for
its previous two seasons and considering the quality of the third one is probably not gonna get
it for the second part of that either yeah it's kind of a crime yeah so since it's our show and we
love to have our cake and eat it too i'm gonna give my best of the season award to fire force
but retroactively for season four season one and two and only the author bits in season three
okay there you know what that works i would specifically mention that in the best of the season
entry on our site because hey i just rewatch season one and two and had a fantastic time those seasons
deserve it and they haven't gotten it yet so fuck it i'm that's that's my pick for best of the season
it's the previous two seasons of fire force and the author storylines at moments from this one because
yeah also animation wise he got the best fucking almost the best fucking parts in this show
yeah this season so we got everything good everything good is author related in this so uh yeah
we didn't even mention the reason he was late to the fight was because he fell out of the truck
yes it happens can happen to anyone he's so relatable but where where where where's Arthur he was with
this cut i don't care yeah but yeah so it's a cheat we love to cheat here when it comes to best of
the season but i'm okay with this because i've felt after looking at our best of the season realize
that we never gave it to a fire force because it had such strong contenders uh when uh
i should even up against that we picked oh it was a gap up against b stars at one point for example
it was up against oh i looked this up it was up against uh akudama drive oh yeah
