Fire Force is getting an anime.

While I couldn't really get invested in the manga, hopefully the anime does a much better job and beings some cool music and animation to the table to spice it up.

Oh, I remember reading the first chapter of that and never getting around to the rest. Yeah, Ohkubo's style lends itself really well to animation.

151 chapters, so it seems to be doing good.

I didn't think it was bad, I'm just not good at keeping up with scanned manga releases.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Never heard of it, but I mostly liked Soul Eater. Is it any good?

Although I loved Soul Eater (It's one of my favorite Shonen series), I could not get invested in Fire Force. I honestly just found it to be a huge step down in terms of writing, worldbuilding, and characterization, though that might have changed after a couple of volumes.

It at least still retains Ohkubo's clean art and great character designs. And the abilities and theming of the powers is interesting, at the very least.

I keep meaning to check it out since Soul Eater was good and also reasonably decent (at least as shounen goes) with female characters, but I keep forgetting to. The anime may be a good chance.

I know we have a thread for this (still making my way through what's out), but Akaesasu Shoujo is "numbers stations meets parallel worlds meets magical girls"

It works, weirdly enough.

fire force also has a girl who has some sort of karmic curse that makes her unavoidably cause ridiculous fanservice scenes. where a normal person would trip and fall, she instead trips, slides out of her shirt and pants, and lands crotch first on the nearest teenage boy's face. despite how every other character acknowledges how bizarre and improbable that poo poo is, it's still pretty gross. so, it's not all good either.

wouldn't be much of a karmic curse if it created everyday occurrences that don't stick out in anyone's mind

The second ep was a bit rough but from there it just leans into the gimmick and is using it to build up the relationship between the girls that is fun. I'm enjoying it a lot and it's up with Anime Yell and Double Decker as my favorite Second level shows.

OTOH Release the Spyce while not bad is also not really selling me on it's stakes right now either

i really like how just gloriously dumb the cast is and that "Sexy Yu" and "Seriouska" are real character names. even Yu refers to her as Sexy Yu

Watanabe can say what he wants, but she explicitly says she is a girl in the series.

Creators can change their minds/stances about their work as society changes. It's fairly common in music (too many musicians come to mind), painting/sculpture (Rainer Fetting with most of his early solo work), writing (Haruki Murakami is not a fan of his first two novels) and so I'm not surprised that Shinichiro Watanabe has changed his mind about Radical Ed.

The difference is that Ed being gender-neutral actually kinda fits with the series, whereas most of JK Rowling's comments just came out of nowhere
