THIS IS THE SIGN YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR..... stop scrolling through the reviews and read this masterpiece there is nothing more to say.

One of the best suspense thriller manga written by none other than Naoki Urusawa, this manga moves like a movie and not a book that's all thanks to Urusawa's panel composition and art style and story telling.
an absolute ride to say the least.
the characters are well developed, there are great moments which will either have you laughing or crying.

Every decision a character makes in the story their motives make sense as there is a sense of development shown throughout and it ... doesn't feel like its all being done just to get to conclusion.

There is a lot of revisiting done for each story in this manga with which will help you unravel more of the plot..

Fire Force season 1 was pretty decent in term of story telling and pacing so naturally fans were excited for season 2.
With season 2 now completed there were few hits and a lot of misses with this season.

Hits -
1) art style - the art style and the character design of this anime is truly amazing and unique.

2) Animation - David production did a pretty solid job as this show looks really good and all background environments look pretty well made, plus the fight choreography is also pretty solid.
watch the show on a big screen to do some justice to it.

3) sound design - the ... sound effects and overall sound design with the music score is pretty solid.

Misses -
1) story - doesn't develop as much as you like in these 24 episodes cause you barely learn any new facts than you did since last season.

2)'Anime Girl' fan service - the most distracting thing in this anime is its overly sexualization of its its female characters. And this is not something which happens a few times it happens repeatedly and if you're someone who is genuinely interested in the story and plot this is going to distract you a lot.

3) unnecessary flashbacks - there is an episode which contains a lot of disposable characters with pretty much non existent screen time but all of them get flashbacks cause apparently we are supposed to care?

Every few years we get a decent fighting anime and this happens to be one of them with insane fight sequences (hand to hand combat) which seems pretty realistic, and to top that of some good sound track.
the animation and art style are pretty good which gives people hope for the new AOT season since that's also being produced by MAPPA.
the plot is simple enough with a good vs evil kind of story but what makes this anime so likeable is the fights if you're looking for something entertaining you're gonna get it.
but if you come in expecting some thriller of a plot and suspense ... maybe its not for you.
A lot of people dropped the show within the first 3-4 episodes where hardly any plot is revealed, I would say give it 10 episodes and be the judge.

For someone who avoids writing reviews this is a first for me, I heard about this series when the trailer dropped a few months back and I was drawn in by the art style and the whole 'swindling heist' genre.
Now that I have completed I can say that its such a breath of fresh air from your usual
seasonal anime with generic tropes.
this show is a tribute to the ocean series (yes the Hollywood one), the show actually makes an effort and comes pretty close to replicating a semi realistic heists.
the music is heavily inspired by jazz and bebop (reminds you of a certain show...) which ... is just a cherry on top.
the animation and art style are very unique and the work done by wit studios shows the effort and research they put in. you can literally screenshot any Frame and it will be a good wallpaper.
one thing I love about this show is the fact that they don't waste time with stretched out backstories its just the relevant parts.
you will get hooked on from the first episode itself.
highly recommend this.
