“シスタ m200”

*Suits up her Company 8 armor and prepares her ignition.* If there ever was a fucking anime that made me love unique fire based company it is Bloody Fire Force. Initially the entire concept from the original trailer looked kinda of dumb to me. Well, Freyja smack me for my judgemental ass as this is perhaps one of my favorite anime to date! In the next few days I’m gonna be adding character thoughts on FIre Force and other anime as I step up my pandemic binge watching.

Let’s ignore the fact that this anime’s origin lies is Atsushi Ōkubo the same creative mind and the mangaka of fucking Souleater. The world build is perhaps, some of the best I’ve seen in a long time. It’s simple stuff in the the apunkalypse setting. The fact that the very apocalypse gave birth to a new religion as well as the powers of fire itself. To me, the idea of people randomly cumbusting into fire monsters is pretty straight forward as well as generic from a glance. But once to start tossing in other elements like a certain White-Clad cult do we get more depth to the world.

The multi-cultural and post-national status of the Tokyo Empire is also fascinating. Everyone uses westernize naming conventions because all previous nations were literally ‘burned away’. This of course creates situations of “proto-nationalists” groups of people who try to hold to those remanants. It’s a simple idea, but at the same time it also creates a nice little bit of lore for people to love.

The combination of soldier and priest found in the Fire Soldiers really adds a bit more depth. Screw that bit, let’s get into FIRE BASE POWERS! This entire anime is all about fire and how it can be manipulated to create different abilities. The more obvious ones are those who can create bursts of flames. But, that doesn’t stop us from having a body-building flame witch (with fire elemental piloted hammers) or a woman that creates heat flowers and trees. Honestly, I haven’t seen powers these these diverse and weird since One Piece. This is all with some seriously bad ass animation!

Thanks everyone, more Fire Foce posts will be coming soon...

Latom !
