| Do they seriously need to do a recap of first... like 5 episodes? I watched it, it was kinda fun, I guess it's true I don't really remember any details, because how flat a plot and characters are... I guess they have just problems with production, so they put together recap episode to delay next one of week. Is it like that or do they released it simultaneously? I doubt it. |

| A recap 5 episodes in? Oh sh*t, that's bad |
| Well, it seems they lacked time to provide this week's episode |
 |
| re-cap better be better than the actual eps. they've skipped so much.. im subbed to a youtuber whos summarized the parts skipped for clarity. |
| Wow arifurecap got a new recap |

| 5 episodes in with a plot this thin? That is just so cheap |
 |
| You guys are so nasty lmao, this is for droppers, that allows 'em to see if they had made the right move or not, weeks ago Nah seriously, this is just weird... Nothing really important happened during these 5 episodes, that is just pointless to give a recap but whatever. |
 |
| When you put almost no work in your animation but you just cant be bothered to work this week |
| Well with all the "plot" from the first 5 episodes this will be less than 10 minutes recap. |
 |
| No, but the studio need some time |
 |
| If they need time to finish an episode they really should do something better than a recap episode. |

| My point exactly. They could just skip a week or use the recap to fill the voids and attune it better to the source material. Otherwise, it's wasted money... everything. |
| Any anime that does a recap 6 - 12 episodes in is almost invariably a garbage ass anime that is stalling for time. They're not recapping because it's necessary but because they needed more time or simply just did not want to / could not deliver. |
 |
| The only reason for producers to make a recap episode for a short show, is because of trouble with animating the rest. I've read somewhere that the budget wasn't very high for the show (just looking at the terrible CGI animation also confirms that), so the animators are probably taking an extra week to sort out some problems for the rest of the show. |

| @Martin_Taylor , you have just written exactly what I though when I saw a notification about this recap episode. I dunno really what subtle purpose for that kind of episode after first 5 eps... |
| how can this have a recap episode when a good number (lol just the second episode) of the show is a recap! |
| Yes. I absolutely need a recap of the first 5 episode to comprehend how amazing this show is. |
 |
| Do perople really think recaps are there to remind people what happened? It's just a way for studio to stall for time when they can't keep up with production. But I do admit I'm disappointed. Watching this anime might be simple pleasure, but it's a pleasure. |
patrickd_de said: Comparing it to the ln, the anime feels rushed like a recap already, so this recap would be a recap of the recap :P Heck comparing it to the already rushed manga it feels rushed. I honestly hated the orcus labrynth section of the manga, but i was hoping we'd actually be out of said labyrinth this week. |
| Nobody needed this. I don't understand the need for recap episodes as filler. It is more work to create the filler, and that time could have been used to make their next episodes better. I have less of an issue with just not getting an episode than getting a recap. No episode tells me they care about their art. A filler tells me they needed to appease a suit. This series was already poorly adapted as it is. We did not need this. |
| Wtf I waited one week to see the MC get tot he surface and show off his powers to his classmates. But no, we get a recap |
| RoneCraft On-hold is another way for a completionist to say DROPPED  |
| this shouldn't be a question "Do we need this?" but "Do they [studio] need this?" and this recap is another evidence that there were some problems behind the scenes. I wonder if there is in english detailed or not explanation. |

Do you really think that Fire Force didn't lose money by having relatively short hiatus? |

Do you really think that Fire Force didn't lose money by having relatively short hiatus? The answer is always the same - re-air the first episode. They've done this in the past with varying degrees of success, but if you have to air something you might as well air the first episode to capture a potentially new audience. There is literally nothing to be gained from a recap episode in this situation. It's not like they have nothing to air. |
| We didn't want it nor need it, but hey, they need to make money on some way, amirite?! |
| Yes, we absolutely needed this. |
 |
| ...... No. We don’t. |

The only time we need a recap is between seasons when there has been months or years, in this case the lazy fuckers just couldn't make the episode on time, which is fucking incredible given the horrible quality of the animation, literally the only thing that looks good in the whole series is yues eyes |
 |
| Recap for this shit? really? lol |
 |
| Recaps shouldn't be a thing for 1 cour shows unless they are aired the week before a second season airs years later |

| Short answer no we do not, it has only been 5 episodes. Should have seen it coming though, the next episode is the one I've been waiting for since he got trapped and started to level up / strengthen himself (whichever way you prefer to say it.) Figures they make me (us) wait another week. |
