Okay, let's talk Fire In His Fingertips Season 2. Or, as I like to call it, "The Hottest Mess in Anime History." Buckle up!
Let's Be Honest...It's Wild
The first season was...something. A firefighter, Soma Mizono, and a office lady, Ryo Fujihashi, get caught in a fire. They rekindle (pun intended!) their old flame, but the anime leaves the plot hanging. Then Season 2 arrives, and it's like a fever dream.
Everything gets turned up to eleven. More drama, more angst, and way more fire-related metaphors than any show needs.
Unpopular Opinion Incoming!
Here it comes... I kind of enjoyed it. Before you grab your pitchforks, hear me out!
I know, I know. The plot is thinner than paper. The characters make questionable decisions. But isn't that part of the fun?
It's like watching a train wreck. You can't look away! And the short episodes mean you are never too invested.
The "Drama" Is Hilariously Over the Top
The show is called Fire In His Fingertips and it lives up to the name. The tension is always so high.
Every little thing is a big deal. Someone looks at someone else funny? Prepare for a ten-minute internal monologue about betrayal and heartbreak!
Honestly, I was laughing more than crying. Ryo's constantly conflicted emotions were just too much. It's like, girl, chill!
But Seriously, What Was Going On?
I am genuinely curious about what the writers were thinking. Did they just throw a bunch of relationship tropes at a wall and see what stuck?
Maybe they were going for a high-art commentary on modern love. Or maybe they just wanted to create the most outrageous anime possible.
Either way, they succeeded. No one can say Fire In His Fingertips is boring!
The Animation...Let's Just Say It's Unique
Okay, let's address the elephant in the room. Or, in this case, the slightly off-model characters.
The animation isn't exactly top-tier. Sometimes, Soma's face looks a little...wonky. But, hey, it adds to the charm, right?
And the fire effects? They're... fiery! What more can I say?
It's So Bad, It's Good?
Maybe that's the secret. Fire In His Fingertips Season 2 embraces its own absurdity.
It doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should you. If you go into it expecting a masterpiece, you'll be disappointed.
But if you're looking for a laugh and a healthy dose of secondhand embarrassment, you might just enjoy it. I'm only slightly ashamed to admit that I did!
Final Thoughts (and Another Unpopular Opinion)
So, there you have it. My (probably controversial) take on Fire In His Fingertips Season 2.
It's a chaotic, over-the-top, and slightly ridiculous anime. And maybe, just maybe, that's what makes it so entertaining.
If you want something truly terrible to laugh at, then welcome to the mess! Just don't blame me if you end up binge-watching it all in one sitting.
"Don't play with fire, unless it's Fire In His Fingertips!" - Me, probably.
