As I watched the first episode of “Enen no Shouboutai”, aka “Fire Force” I kept on getting reminded of “Soul Eater” from the animation style and also the pacing and general feel.. Well, it turns out that I should have been reminded of Soul Eater because Fire Force is by Ohkubo Atsushi, the creator of Soul Eater.

In a parallel world mankind is enduring the threat of “Infernals” – humans who spontaneously combust and turn into fire demons.. In Tokyo there is a special firefighting squad that specializes in destroying the Infernals. A teen named Shinra who has demonic powers of his own joins the special squad and is determined to become a hero.

The first episode was spectacularly animated, well directed and generally avoided the worst sort of shounen action faults. The characters are reasonably interesting and the setting is imaginative. I was reasonably impressed and I will watch more episodes. My initial rating is B+.
