Closing Thoughts…
This anime packs a fiery punch! Specialized firefighters dealing with the fires of human combustion is such a cool… or should I say hot concept! The animation of the fire is spectacular and I love how deep the lore in this story goes.
This announcement has put me in the mood to rewatch the series in anticipation of the third and final season. It’s sad it’s coming to a close, but all good things must come to an end and I have a feeling this anime will go out in a burning blaze!
The first cour of Fire Force Season 3 premieres April 4, 2025, on Crunchyroll.
