I wonder who Moonlite mask is. He seems pretty strong, should join the Fire Force

For some reason I didn't like the fight choreo, and the sfx for the burns fight also felt off.
- SpeedyGonzalesXD 11mo
  Shit felt hella weird, ur right
- porcupinestorm 11mo
  Exactly! Compared to the first two seasons, this whole fight felt pretty much lacking any character or oomph at all. It was super weird, the animation felt weird, the sound was super weird, everything was just weird!

Budget... I missed you.

Great use of 3D environment and lighting, it's much better than what I'd pictured from the manga. I do hope the idea of Shinra fighting a "wall" is left behind with this fight. It makes sense in context, but it made fight choreography to reliant on Shinra. Still a few off frames and the sound design felt a bit muted, but those are just small nitpicks. Amazing episode!

  2025 and people are still talking about budget smh
  Caravela 11mo
  It makes sense, the budget is the same for the whole season, but since most of the best scenes you see in anime are done with freelance work, the studio has to pay more to outside animators to make a good sequence, so it's fair to mention the budget since more money was used to deliver this episode.
  
  Really, only a few projects get the previlage of being assigned the best animators of the studio, resulting in the anime being consistent and have great animation, without needing free-lance work, but I'm pretty sure that's not what's happening with this season, Fire Force peaked on season two, and it seems the best animators of the studio have better things to animate now.
  
  Aaaaand, mentioning the budget of an anime has been used freely for years without any literal intention, it's just a way of saying that something is better.

  Images are not showing?
  
  Yup! It was great to see a well-animated episode, it took me back to season two for a moment, they are struggling with something, maybe time, maybe animators, since it's noticeable that they are focusing their workload on heavier scenes, but that also means that the show will probably get crazy beginning with this episode. And yeah, I would like to see anyone here make a fight against a wall have better choreography, will we just have Shinra dance and throw himself against Burns just for the sake of wasting work and time? Be glad we at least got Shinra spinning, because if I were the director, this fight would be cut short to give space for better sequences, Burns ain't even that popular (In the anime at least).

Great episode. I liked that they used some artistic shots and camerawork to conceal the lack of animation power this season. But i have to say some of the movement/choreography looks a bit goofy.

I think this is probably the best we can expect this season in terms of animation.

overall great episode, visual were great even if the animation sometimes looked a bit off and it had some of my favorite moments from the manga. HOWEVER. i think the sound design this episode was pretty bad, especially during the burns fight. it made the blows feel like they had no impact whatsoever so the fight just felt so off. considering that fire force is known for its amazing sound effects i find this absolutely tragic

so iris finally got her powers (threw a trash bag into space), and my boy beni just goofing off with that mask

Látom, Burns become "Burned"
Gwynbleiddkawaii 11mo
This anime is so fucking great
ShiroJL 11mo
It might not have been perfect, but damn the Shinra vs. Burns fight was what Assault Meli vs. The One Escanor should've been. Also, am I the only one that would love to see a versus battle between Burns and Escanor, I mean their power sets are hella similar and Burns Stage V is basically a rip-off of The One, shred me to pieces if you want, I'll die on that hill.

vs.

You can't tell me this fight wouldn't go hard!

FINALLY BENIMARU IS COMINGGG
LycoReco 11mo
I expected a bit more from the fight ngl but its fine. We got the goat of the series gracing us again
kaizokousama007 11mo
The sound design didn't hit like the previous seasons why was it......subdued?
Anyway still I'll take this, best episode of this season so far, great pacing finally something happened after 6 episodes. Animation for Shinra vs Burns was good, maybe not the best but eh.
Twists at the end were cool too, Benimaru ftw
Klaus99 11mo
What surprised me most is that it's from the same studio and with the same crew as the previous seasons. What were they thinking when producing this episode?
The episode's title should be "How to Screw Everything."
- Zoldyck27 11mo
  same studio yeah but it's not really the same crew since they lost most of the main animators
  Klaus99 11mo
  I focused on the (Sound Effects & Sound Director) only and their level was good in the previous seasons but for some reason their performance was bad in this season and this episode in particular, and thank you for your information.
Darby 11mo
finally a typical fire force fight
CosmicSwine 11mo
I ain't gonna lie that was pretty awful. If this is what Fire Force S3 is gonna churn out for the finale of the series what a damn bummer. I mean it's never been consistent 100% quality animation, but they always turned out straight fire for the big fights. What a let down, crazy that Iris seems to be implied as the new Adolla Link. Wonder what's gonna come of that. But man, I really hope that if Burns wasn't the main fight of this part of S3 Pt.1, that the actual main fight gets more love than this. This was just bad.
- Astrea 11mo
  You're thoughts on Iris are correct. Newest pillar. I'm also really interested in seeing how it goes. I can at least be a little relieved Haumea won't take her now that Beni's on the scene...I hope. The white clad may be many but they probably can't do much to him.
- NotWeeb 11mo
  Yeah, very underwhelming fight animations compared to the previous seasons
Max48 11mo
I didn’t expect that fight to end like that, that was insane! It’s so obvious that’s Benimaru lol, things are getting wild!
cateatinggrapes 11mo
I KNEWWW I WASNT REACHING
watching the ending i noticed dead characters were looking back and not forward (hague, hajiki)
i mean here, burns was facing forward, joker backwards, making me think oh its SO over for joker

but episode 6:

burns faces backwards before being replaced with joker facing forward alone

Such a subtle difference i dont think anyone noticed lol :p

  Something's off, or everything is.
  The sound designs are horrible, the animation is good but something still feels odd about it. The pacing is awful, shinra moved more in this single episode than the previous few episodes.
yashank100a 11mo
second best animated fight after shinra vs shu
- dastyzz 11mo
  ure kidding
ibruhim 11mo
for a fight that was built up for 3 seasons the execution was just disappointing. I still enjoyed the episode but it could’ve been so much more.
Valpurga 11mo
That scorching heat requiem OST reminded me of Duel of the Fates from star wars
