I am relatively new to anime, and while I was looking for something to watch, I found Fire Force. I liked the show for the most part, but there were things that felt weird and/or out of place.
The story itself is a standard Shounen plot: the main character (Shinra) wants to become a hero and protect people. It is not anything special, but it works just fine. The power system is pretty interesting. There are 3 types of people: ones who don't have powers and can become infernal at any given time; people who can manipulate fire; and ones who can create it.

is a cool power system, but nothing insane. My only complaint about it is that the power system provides lots of plot armor, as those who have powers can't become infernal.
Both the animation and art style are amazing. No complaints there.
The thing that bothers me the most about Fire Force are some of the incredibly annoying characters. Although that is mostly just my opinion.
Personally, I also dislike the involvement of 'The Holy Sol Temple', which is the religion in the Fire Force. Basicaly, for an infernal (a transformed human) to be 'put to rest' (killed) a member of the temple needs to say a prayer. My problem is that a prayer is not needed to kill a regular human, which makes zero sense. The idea of the temple honestly feels really weird to me, as it's an obvious reference to real-life religion, but it's not really ment that way in the show—it's really more of a big organization and a lifestyle than an actual religion.
All of that said, most of the characters are still pretty interesting, and as I already said, the graphics are really good. Other than a few obnoxious characters, Fire Force is a good watch. Don't really expect anything breathtaking, though.
