And now I've finally finished The Fire Hunter from earlier this year. It had a few neat ideas. Like, the setting is one where regular fire started combusting people for some reason so now they need to hunt beasts for some kind of beast fire. It's weird, but it's at least neat. Sadly, this might be the jankiest anime I've ever seen, and that's saying something because I've seen Marchen Madchen! The animation in The Fire Hunter was hilariously terrible pretty much all the time. Then there were times where the animators seemingly just gave up and inserted still images of concept art. The concept art at least looked nice, but it was always so jarring and out of place compared to the crappy animation it normally had. There were a bunch of weird decisions in the directing of scenes too. This was a show where, visually, absolutely nothing worked.

Then there was the story, which I will charitably describe as confusing. Despite the characters frequently info-dumping about weird myths or gods or competing groups, I still have no idea what's going on. I have no idea what anyone is trying to accomplish anymore, including the two main characters. I actually groaned when the final episode ended with a season two announcement because that means I have to watch more of this nonsense next year just to try and figure out what the hell is going on.
