it's very strange to see people who know enough to dig into the numbers side of that stuff, but then they just lack that extra bit of awareness to know that in cases like this it actually means jack poo poo

This is essentially an ad anime, as long as the manga sales are good it's fine if the BDs don't sell for poo poo.

It's a big improvement over the days when anime adaptations had insane original endings.

Though it did give us the ending to the first version of FMA.

Most anime series are basically 3 month big budget adverts for their respective manga or video game. This is not uncommon.

That still happens sometimes. Blood Blockade Battlefront got one for its first season a few years back.

Like the creator's previous work Soul Eater, which has something happen that I think is explicitly laid out as being unable to happen.

Like the fact that final boss explicitly could not be killed particularly the way he was. In the manga he had to be sealed again. Any other notable ones?

I liked the sounds of Adolla Burst and the look of Shinra’s skeleton feet with ribcages for calves. Also found that scene where Benimaru’s attack was so powerful the moon turned into a shade of copper red.

The last one was too, what with Arthur kneeing a little girl in the face and later Shinra and Arthur deciding the solution to their teamwork problem was just to stay out of each other's way.

the double edged sword of the first cour having such a huge delay i suppose. still seems pretty snappy at points, i like the goofy song they chose enough to not mind overall

i was gonna say the show really was on top form this ep but forgot we just had that really nice asakusa arc too. so congrats on being just a good show, fire force.

I'm always a little leery when the opening only has the main character doing anything. Shinra's cool and all but I don't come just for him.

There's actually an animation mistale in this one that's pretty prominant;

Vulcan sure did get that Elephant head back real fast after it shot off into the distance...

It's a homing Elephant obviously. If it can't find it's way back after being accidentally launched it's no good.

This show is really well animated. The sakugablog articles were illuminating.

Honestly though some of the stuff was Nakamura because of all the impact frames but I guess it's just caught on.

The only thing I really dislike is the fanservice. Ho boy it's bad.

Man Giovanni is a dick.

When he hit Vulcan with cane did he keep on going or was he just spinning it around wildly?

Also I love that Arthur is very powerful but he seems to unintentionally handicap himself because he's a moron.
