>Shinra (who is revealed to be messiah) fights former messiah (who is revealed to be a demon)This is getting too biblical for me.The whole 8 pillar setup is also very apocalypse-esque.
What is Iris supposed to be praying to at this point? They know that church is evil and adolla is hell.
>yes, Monolith...I will kill all the weebniggers...in your name they will be cleansed...
>>285687376The only negative aspect of Fire Force not being popular is that there's not enough Haumea porn...

>>285687376Religion bad
>>285688103at surface level yeah, the manga is "religion bad" But when you dig a little deeper, it's actually "judaism bad" which is something all human beings can agree.
>>285687376my fuarking..>>285688102cute, but Maki is still the pit queen
brothers don't shake hands, brothers gotta hug
Fuck Haumea
>>285688905would if could
That was 5 chapters. 234-238.Still a good pace but still not enough to get EVERYTHING done. >9 episodes left>65 chapters>7.2 chapters per episode needed now to make it with no cuts.Gonna be interesting to see how quickly they move though the "start" of the cataclysm arc here. Hopefully they can get it done in like 2 episodes instead of 3. It did have a lot of fluff to it that could be trimmed down, but it also had some major moments important to the final fight (specifically Charon's stuff).Still think we're gonna get big cuts though. Particularly the infamous Tamaki fight.
Good episode
>>285688173based
The episode was amazing, loved it. It was really cool seeing Shinra go full mango style. Stoked for next week. >>285688206Mai FUARKING HERO (literally) (gone sexual)

>>285687376How's the pacing been so far?
ZA FATHEREL GRANDE PADRE
>>285689929Extremely based
>>285689929This is so badly needed in these trying times
>>2856889915 chapters really? The storyboarding was dogshit they were dragging this shit out. The whole ep could've been cut in half
>>285688991Episode 5 title - "At the center of the world" (chapter 240 title). Logically, I can see that it ends with chapter 245Episode 9 - Arthur vs Dragon will probably start with chapter 263, which means that episodes 5-8 will cover ~24 chapters, ~ 6 chapters per episode.
>>285687376The only thing out is my dick whenever Haumea is on screen.
>>285687863And they >>285687596hated him for he showed them the truth.
Honestly you'd think shinra at this point would have wisened up to the public perception trap he is about to fall for, but I guess the plot needs to happen.
>>285687889She already was questioning it all the way back when they were with Shinra at the main temple to baptize their weapons. As to what she believes in now, you'll have to wait a few episodes for that. I didn't particularly like that part of the manga, or rather her choice in that part of the manga.
despair counter started
>>285688991Brown was so wasted, she literally didn't do anything useful
>>285689929Left looks cute. Right looks like a whore.
>>285687376Haumea's so fucking hot
>>285692531Are you joking?
>>285687973I do question making light of a serious scene like this. Haumea communing with the Evangelist shouldn't have funny little stars
>>285692682No he's right. She's just on the sidelines toward the end. Another victim of Tamaki being the face of the series.
>>285692790Can't be helped. Apparently a plain Japanese Teen is more the embodiment of life and eros than the absolutely stacked brown science waifu.
>>285691982Why!? That is literally what people want from her, she is the warm sun, to cozy your heart
>>285687376Great episode, and tomorrow is going to be insanely good, so many fights and the 3D moment
>>285692790No, that's wrong. That's why you had to add the qualifier "towards the end"
>>285693057She should have be a teen brown stacked science waifu instead.
>>285687376The masses lead humanity to extinction and we deserve it
>>285688103its literally religion good. but also sexo good. which is the message we need right now.
>>285689929>>285692575collective unconsciousbros did this btw
>>285694677It's not religion good, it's religion is subjective. The proof being that the world God Shinra created was not perfect either and it once again was heading for a Cataclysm, in fact the existence of Gods is what leads humanity to despair and madness. The Kishin had to be stopped from plunging the world into madness, Death had to extract the powers from Beni and the others because of this, Excalibur having inherited Arthur's bullshit was a source of madness, Death himself was a source of madness.
>>285694797>Death himself was a source of madness.That's sort of what they're talking about right now at the part of Fire Force they're adapting. The collective unconscious of humanity is obsessed with death. The cult of the Evangelist is trying to harness this to bring about an apocalypse of sorts, but Shinra subverts it by personifying Death.
>>285694687This is true. In the aftermath of the reveal that the Evangelist group made the religion, the 3rd priest describes how religion and faith are good on their own. It doesn't matter fundamentally who created the church or what their intentions were
>>285687863The main baddies sound alot like the evangelicals you see/hear in America.
>>285688173So Christianism and Islam aren’t bad?
>>285695022The strain of particularly vitriolic preachers you see in America are descended from the hardliner Calvinists of Europe but especially Britain. If you're not familiar with that particular sect of Protestants, they are infamously dour and preoccupied with damnation, which is why they're often referred to as "fire and brimstone" preachers: they love to expound on God's wrath to scare the shit out of people. "Fire and brimstone" is a pretty apt turn of phrase relating to this manga, and particularly the Evangelist.
>>285695067They are misguided because their core is jewish, it's an attempt at correction destined to fail and that ultimately leads humanity to despair, as we are seeing right now.
>>285695086Well I certainly forgot about their origins until now. So props for that little infoI will say this too: Its funny to me how these kinds of shows get labeled as heretic or whatever, yet when you watch/read them the bad guys are people who try to use religion to justify their actions
Arthur vs Dragon is a bunch of pages with pure action so that would be really fast paced in the anime, also this whole thing with Shinra disappearing kinda dragged on, along with some of the Doppelganger battles, I'm sure they have this adaptation in the bag.
>>285695457What we have in the Evangelist and his cronies is a pretty clear case of religious hypocrisy: non-believers utilizing the tenets of the faith to manipulate its followers. This is a common trope in Japanese portrayals of Christianity or its stand-ins, which I think gets misrepresented in the laconic "church bad" description. Very often the church is only bad because of the hypocrites (false believers) who run it. As an institution it is not fundamentally malevolent or even detrimental to society. Rather, it is a benevolent institution, often with very well-meaning priests and nuns in its rank and file, who are being exploited by wicked people. And very usually the novel, game, manga, or anime will even go out of its way to illustrate that the evil pope or priest or whoever is not, in fact, an actual believer or follower of their supposed faith.What's interesting about Fire Force is that it's almost the reverse of this. The Temple wasn't merely usurped by an evil leader, it was created from the ground up as an instrument of an apocalyptic cult, to socially condition the populace to aid in the goal of the White Clad without even realizing it. They designed the Temple's dogma in such a way that they were able to bloodlessly assume total control over it by simply pressing on the right psychological and spiritual levers. So yes, in Fire Force, church is actually bad, in the sense that it is a tool to bring about the end of the world, by design, rather than simply being usurped by evil men. Yet despite this, most of the named characters associated with the church are protagonists, not antagonists. It's a case of the Church's purpose being bad, but the Church as a collective of people being good.
>>285688155little sad they didn't use eva's beam sounds for when the titan was blowing things up
Why are these threads so dead? Do people really not give a shit about fire force?
>>285696838We're all just waiting for Arthur and Dragon
>>285696838Comfy threads will always be the best.
>>285688639Can someone recommend mangas with wholesome but chaotic/angsty brothers relationships?
Ok sourcechads, how is it going? I think this is the first episode I felt a little bit rushed, did they do a good job?
>>285696838Someone makes this same question every thread
>>285688991With all this in mind I have no idea why they started S3 Cour 1 with like three half-recap episodes in a row.
>>285696838>>285697024I posted in last week's thread for the first time, and these threads are not comfy at all. They are full of narcisstic circlejerkers who act like they are better for reading the manga before the anime (extremely ironic considering how normalfag this show is).
>>285698303>still seething a week later
>>285698407Showing your true colors already? Don't act like the threads are comfy

>>285698591No retard I'm bitching cause people are saynig the threads are comfy when I just said my experience last week does not show this.You want comfy don't be an dick to others.
>>285698645Man, if you just stopped bitching I wouldn't be rude to you. If I'm reading this right, you came to stir up console war/popularity shit last week. And now you're here doing it again. Why don't you just get your head out of your ass?
>>285699137I apologize for bitching, but I wouldn't be stirring up shit if you all wouldn't be such assholes in the first place. I did not stir up console war popularity shit last week. Stop being a schizo.
I think Sho is cute.
>>285687376>this is no different then insects flying to a flame>humanity is tempted by death and destruction>the scale may be different but the sentiment is the samebugman thinks he knows things.
>>285699387Well, I'm sorry too then. No hard feelings. DESU, I'm not even the first guy that brought up comfy threads but to me, a comfy thread is a smaller, slower one so these apply.
>>285697027Blue Exorcist
>>285699752No problem. This is the first comfy response I've gotten here. Last week I asked an apparently "stupid" question and got shat on for being an anime only fag, despite not trying to troll or bait anyone. Which is the opposite of comfy for me.

I miss the cute mom.
>>285698303Well you know how manga readers get
>>285703653Hey, he's the one starting shit and so are you
>>285693138I was thinking more about the moment she chooses death. Not even that she does, but that we are just shown that it happened, not why.
>>285703937and you are starting shit toofuck off
>>285704249What the fuck
>>285704200this is good because it conveys hopelessness and invokes despair for Shinra, and the reader too
>>285687376wat
>>285689929Now in HQ
>>285695093Christianity is supppsed to be completely distinct from Judaism and opposed to it at its core, as Christ put forth a new testament and was full lf contempt for the old jews and their ways, but modern American Christianity does everything it can to sweep that under the rug so they can fellate Israel.
i really like okubo wacky and sometimes experiemental style, but i was told that the anime is animated very good. do you prefer the manga or tv series so far?
>>285696838>Do people really not give a shit about fire force?Other than to seethe or fap to Tamaki nobody ever gave a shit about it. Its why I always wonder why so many people want a Soul Eater remake if its been established that nobody gives a fuck about Ohkubo or his works? It's just looking like a Shaman King situation where so many people were hyped for the remake yet dropped it before the halfway point.
How are we feeling about the pacing, bros?
>>285706296Abysmal. Nothing has any time to breath.
>>285695457>yet when you watch/read them the bad guys are people who try to use religion to justify their actionsSo yeah basically "church bad/religion bad" *tips fedora*
>>285706296I haven't read the manga, to me it looks cohesive all in all
>>285696115>The Temple wasn't merely usurped by an evil leader, it was created from the ground up as an instrument of an apocalyptic cult, to socially condition the populace to aid in the goal of the White Clad without even realizing it. They designed the Temple's dogma in such a way that they were able to bloodlessly assume total control over it by simply pressing on the right psychological and spiritual levers.This is literally every Jap "religion bad" narrative in fact I think almost every fantasy show has the same plot point where the social Dogma of the church is based entirely on an evil entity. In fact this is literally the same plot point of FMA only its way less fedora tippy.
>>285706296Pretty good so far, even the Beni vs his master fight who covered like 9 chapters didn't feel too rushed. The real worry would be the great cataclysm fights since those go for a while.
>>285706454>even the Beni vs his master fight who covered like 9 chapters didn't feel too rushedIt was very rushed. So rushed in fact they had to delete a character
>>285704299This was bad because we have no context for the reasons of her choice. Sure we know about her crisis of faith, and that everyone that knew her other than hibana is dead, but did she really didn't have reasons to live from the rest of the fire force? Did she feel she was burden to them as that's the reason she was in despair? There is a lot of scenes in the manga that ultimately mean nothing that could have been skipped in favour of better character building.
>>285706472It was if you read the manga. I'm an anime only and the episode flowed nicely for me.
I've seen people say this was sexual or rape, but what? Wouldn't it hurt like hell? Is she a masochist or something?
>>285706715No, we know exactly why she gave up because they explain it to Shinra. Its hopeless because she is a god and it is inevitable because it is"what humanity wants".The reasoning they use to convince Shinra is exactly the reasoning that makes Iris give up
>>285708214SEX
>>285705954>Christianity is supppsed to be completely distinct from Judaism and opposed to it at its coreIf you don't read the bible yes.
>>285705954>>285710849If you've read the Old Testament and you know Jewish culture, you'll understand that the Jews are the epitome of "take a verse out of context and then use it to your own ends". They're worse than the worst Christians at this.These are the people who rejected Christ because he wouldn't genocide the Romans and make them rulers over the Earth. They behave exactly like you'd expect that sort of faction to behave. They have no legitimacy.
>>285708214She electroucated her whole body to parlazye her before over stimulating her pussy clit, womb and nipples causing her to have a forced orgasm flooding her mind with dopamine and oxytocin. Putting her into a state of lovly afterglow
>>285698303>considering how normalfag this show isNormalfags hate Fire Force because Tamaki fanservice makes them feel uncomfortable
>>285706715>>285708359What!? No, she was trying to save her other part so she can have someone
>>285711297>Tamaki fanservice makes them feel uncomfortableShe barely has anything, One Piece and Dandadan has way more fanservice
>>285711735That's why she is known as a filter.
>>285687376>Fire Force is speedrunnning its adaptation>somehow it still feels cohesive and well doneHow is it achieving this? D. Gray-man Hallow, 7Seeds and Tokyo Ghoul RE: 2 felt like utter shit due to their speedruns
>>285712592>somehow it still feels cohesive and well doneLMAO
>>285712592DaviPro has thoroughly earned my respect.
>>285712592>D. Gray-man HallowI will never understand why this was rushed? With everything else I get it but why this?It really pains me because despite the studio change the animation, music and VA changes (except Lavi) were good but goddamn it the pacing was utter dogshit and the staff didn't get paid anyway due to wanting to be fujos
>>285712624>NOOOO THAT FAT GUY THAT NO ONE EVEN REMEMBERS GOT CUT HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME
>>285713051>>285712624Why are you like this?
>>285711201That has nothing to do with my reply.
>>285712624Every episode have been done pretty well, this is the first episode that felt kind of too fast but even then, not that much.
>>285712829>VA changes (except Lavi) were goodI disagree with this take. The previous cast was better, the only Hallow VA I truly liked was Allen, and mainly because it fit his character design better.
>>285713416I also prefer the original voices, but I felt that the new voices still fit the cast well enough except Lavi which was extremely distracting whenever he spoke, I understand not being able to get the cast back after all of those years
>>285706472What character?
does anyone like these faggots?does anyone give a shit about these faggots?do these faggots serve any purpose other than forced fujofagging?why the hell are faggots constantly forced on the screen?who the hell are theses faggots supposed to be?
Haumea's tits are really underrated.
>>285715395The bully is alright, I like him.Never cared for the corporate fag.
>>285715395Kurono is one of the strongest characters right now in the story and a fan favorite. Bossman is just a plot device for Kurono to make more appearances because otherwise he'd spend the end of the world bullying babies and toddlers.
>>285715395The bully is really fun>boss voiced by KatsuraI like him by default, I find most of his jokes funny
>>285711735Yes but she got beaten up and had to wait for Shinra that one time so that's very problematic and sheeeit.On that note the explanation for why she is the way she is that we got was alright but all throughout the series I thought that she actually has some sort of friction control power that would actually make her pretty fucking strong. Oh well.
>>285688206is he farting flames?
>>285715395Of course, they're hilarious
Reminder that Iris just protecting everyone from Dragon's attack she became instantly more useful than Tamaki has been in the entire run of the show.
>>285715413I don't get why Weekly Shonen Magazine girls don't get much porn, I wish Fire Force, Fairy Tail, Rave Master, Air Gear, Getbackers and Kenichi got more good hentai
>>285716508>I don't get why Weekly Shonen Magazine girls don't get much porngacha games were a mistake
>>285716366You'd have to ignore that Tamaki just saved them from the destroyer, Gold and saved them from Assault before that.
>>285716366You'd have to ignore that she gets her tits out and does closeup shots of her ass. Both essential and important
>>285716633>the destroyer, GoldI think you severely overestimate Tamaki's contribution there.>Assault Maybe, but I think that even if Assault forma de incel were to fight the rest of the 8 the story wouldn't change that much
>>285716827They would have lost to Gold without her. She was the main fighter there. And Assault would have killed/beaten all of them without question. Arthur and Shinra are the only possible exceptions but that wouldn't leave Shinra with enough strength to fight (and thus convert) Sho
>>285713579Lavi was one of the worst for sure. I also wasn't very fond of Lenalee's new voice either, the first one was pretty much perfect.
>>285711297I have a black friend who only watches dragon ball and one piece, and he got a hibana tatoo cause "she's hot."
>>285716366Without Tamaki the missile dude would have killed everybody already.

>>285692682Everything she ever figured out could be skipped by talking to Arthur's parents which is a main quest that was always bound to happen.
>>285713051Are you incapable of not using a strawman?
>>285720419Why would anyone believe the genuinely insane ramblings of a conman living in the sewers?
>>285721725Nobody other than Arthur needs to know since everybody else does nothing with the knowledge until Arthur cuts down Adolla. Even after, its just Sho infodumping about stuff he would know from being a cult member.
>>285724413>>285719251>AI slopI have nothing inherently against AI, but I do have a thing about shitty AI slopFuck off.
>>285725219
>>285725219you've nothing against corporations stealing your tax dollars and your country's natural resources?
>>285728303Better tech is what advances us as a species. It won't be all good of course but this is going to be a big step forward. One of the biggest in a while
>>285728512like how a tumor sends false signals that its still composed of healthy cells, sometimes malignant tech trends disguise themself as progress while being a net detriment to everyone's standard of living.all the money and resources being sunk into data centers for AI could feed and house every single homeless person in the world for the next 30 years, which would be much better for both humanity and profits, and ultimately lead to faster technological advancements from more people being in a position to get a higher education
>>285728639In theory, sure. But we do have a lot of welfare already and it hasn't cured our homeless and poverty problems. New tech and unexplored solutions are the true end to those things. I think you're right to be wary of it since it will bring bad things too. Like the internet and social media, I don't think humanity is fully prepared for how it will affect us mentally, for example.
>>285728639>285728932*So it is still a worthwhile step to take. basically its also unstoppable now too.
>>285712592>somehow it still feels cohesive and well done
>>285728980>>285712624>no counterargument
>>28572893290% of welfare currently goes to banks and big businesses anyway in the form of tax breaks and bailouts. AI specifically has been explored and found wanting. At its current stage, fixing the mistakes of AI takes more manhours that it would to just pay trained humans to do it in the first place. and if AI surpasses this somehow, then you are left in a world of hyper-reality where nothing can be believed because deepfakes will outnumber real evidence. And regardless, the underlying motive for all this research and development is the dream of the ultra rich to be able to make more money without paying a single human being a single dime, even and especially if it leaves everyone else destitute. Not to mention the dearth of skills that comes with relying on these programs. When everything is just vibe coded by the CEO, where are they going to find the software programmers that can fix the mistakes of the GENAI if being a software programmer is no longer a skill you can get a career with due to it all being taken over by GENAI. Meanwhile, exploiting GENAI for malicious actors will increasingly be where the only means of making money will be in a post-employee economy unless there's universal welfare guarantees.
>>285728949>basically its also unstoppable now too.What are things mostly said by very stoppable forces that desperately don't want any resistance, Trebek?
>>285729135>90% of welfare currently goes to banks and big businesses anywayYea. and putting more money in to welfare just means they get 90% of that too. AI is one of the next big steps. It will be able to provide new solutions because it will be able to *think in ways that we can't. >>285729159The knowledge and technology already exists. You can dream about going unga bunga and destroying all the servers but its like fantasizing about getting rid of all guns. It can't be done. The knowledge and technology already exists.
>>285729191>and putting more money in to welfare just means they get 90% of that too.that's defeatist. that's saying 'oh well we shouldn't even try to make a better world because the powers that be will try to finds way to exploit it.' Which is just endorsing the status quo. >It will be able to provide new solutionsIn very specific cases involving the processing of vast amounts of data to scan for patterns imperceptible by humans, which we don't need all these data centers for, not are these data centers being used for.>The knowledge and technology already exists.The nonrenewable resources they demand won't exist forever. Nor is there any need to unga bunga the data centers. Just draw a hard line in the sand and bring back the most basic anti-trust laws abolished by Reagan that say "A corporation must be able to prove that it serves the public good" and "a corporation is not entitled to resources if providing them with those resources will cause the deaths of human beings"or better yet, abolish corporitization altogether. a business does not deserve and should not be entitled to rights that trump the rights of human beings for life, liberty and happiness. The technology can still exist, but if you want that much water and lithium and electricity so badly, go out into space and obtain them yourself without putting any humans at risk or being a blight on the living conditions of humanity. Innovate yourself drone mines on the moons of jupiter through means that don't cause environmental disasters on Earth
>>285729338How much non-renewable resources are they taking? All I know about is the metal for the microchips. Then water but that is renewable. What we need is a new energy solution. That will make living cheaper and solve the scarcity problem for energy. That is the real solution, and slowing things down is just a stopgap doomed to eventually fail. WHICH IS KINDA SORTA LIKE THE EVANGALIST!
>>285729452>Then water but that is renewable.it turns drinkable water into non-drinkable water at a faster rate than non-drinkable water is being converted to drinkable water. Plus the additional runoff results in more pollutants in rain leading to less drinkable water each water cycleThen there's the lithium and other rare metals which both get depleted and also lead to even further pollution, which leads to less viable land for agriculture and less meat and milk and other animal produce fit for human consumption. Not to mention the exponential factor of artificial scarcity where other corporations see these things are running low and start buying up everything ahead of time so they can scalp them like we see in the Flint water crisis
