Shinra and The Gang Are Back!!! (FIRE FORCE/Enen No Shouboutai)



Hey friends, especially all the otakus out there!
It's been a while since I posted something anime related. I haven't watched anime these days, though I try to keep up with manga updates. However, as I was checking out the available anime on Netflix, I saw a very familiar one.

All the pictures I'll be providing below are screenshots I took from Netflix.

I watched the first season last year and it was one of the most exciting animation of 2019. Well, it wasn't as popular as Kimetsu no Yaiba, Dr. Stone or Yakusoku no Neverland, but it has a certain charm to it.

The second season has started on Netflix, so I took the chance to watch the first episode immediately.

What is the story about?

In this world, there is a certain plague which transforms a person into a violent and flaming creature which they call an "Infernal". This phenomenon is called Spontaneous Human Combustion.

Aside from these violent infernals, some people were gifted an ability to control or manipulate fire while keeping their rational minds. They're called the second and third generation pyrokinetics. They're separated into two generations.

The second generation pyrokinetics can manipulate fire, but they can't generate their own. They need a source first, before they can control it. On the other hand, the third generation pyrokinetics are those who don't need any source for they can generate their own fire.

The Special Fire Force is a group of pyrokinetics and other powerful individuals to combat infernals. However, as the main characters go on to their missions, the situation became more and more complicated as they try to unveil the truth.

Let's Meet Special Fire Force Company 8

In the Special Fire Force, there are eight companies. And our main characters are from the worst company as people call it. These members are eccentric, but I super love them! Let's get to know them one by one!

Viktor Licht is one of the most mysterious characters for me. He might be a mad scientist, but I feel that there is something yet to be revealed about him. Well, I love weird characters!

This guy is amazing. His personality is kind of far from how he looks, but he's a great inventor. His backstory was something, and I'm really looking forward to getting to know him more in this season.

Nope, she isn't Armin from Shingeki no Kyojin! lol In this anime, every company needs a sister or someone from church because before they execute an infernal, they have to pray for it. Infernals were once humans, so in order to bring them back to their source of life, "Sol", people like sister Iris are a must.

Don't be fooled by her pretty face. Maki isn't your girly girl, she's a gorilla! haha Seriously, her strength is incomparable! She's a second generation pyrokinetic, so Vulcan created a device where she could keep her cute little fire babies. You'll get to see them when you watch the anime. :)

Do you know "nekomata"? Nekomata is a Japanese yokai (a supernatural being) taking the form of a cat. It can summon fireballs and create conflagration which kills people. Tamaki, has that similar ability, except that she uses it to counter infernals. Cool, isn't it? One problem though, this girl here is as clumsy AF. (facepalms)


image.png


Captains are usually the strongest and the most powerful, aren't they? But as you can see on the description in the picture, Captain Obi is non-powered. Yes, he is just a normal human being. Despite that, he trained the most and now has monstrous strength to combat infernals. He's one awesome guy, I tell you! :)


image.png


Snipers are awesome, right? But what if the sniper can manipulate not only the course of the bullet, but also its power, speed and other stuff? Well, that's Lieutenant Takehisa for you. He might just be a second generation pyrokinetic, but his manipulation and control are one of a kind!


image.png


In every group, there should be at least one idiot! hahaha Arthur Boyle is a total simpleton. His idiocy is real, but you can really count on him when you need him. He might be a self-centered narcissist, but this group wouldn't be the same without him.


image.png


Shinra my boy! (and nope, he isn't Staz from Blood Lad. lol)
They call him the Devil's Footprints because he can explosively ignite his feet which allows him to fly and fight against infernals. He's the ultimate main character of this series and somehow, the phenomenon was greatly connected to him and his family. I won't spoil more, so just watch it! :)

What do I think?

Well, I enjoyed watching the first season, but it left hanging with a lot of questions. Now that they're back for the second season, I hope to find the answers... unless they plan to make it more complicated and push through with season 3. haha I don't mind though, since the graphics and animation effects are awesome, so I won't get tired of watching it.

If you're into this kind of anime, then feel free to watch it! Shinra and the gang would gladly accept your presence. haha

I'm really looking forward to watching season 2, so let's enjoy watching it together!

Thanks for reading! :) See you later! ^^
