In Solar Year 198, the city of Tokyo is threatened by 'Infernals'--persons who suffer spontaneous human combustion and are transformed into 'lost souls surrounded by flames'. A special unit, 'Fire Force', has been created to deal with them. Among its most effective members are soldiers who display Infernal-like capabilities themselves, 'Pyrokinetics'. Shinra Kusakabe is one of these, and is a new member of Fire Force. He hopes to become a 'hero', and clear his name of accusations that he is no better than an Infernal himself.

Enen no Shouboutai
(One episode watched):
When the bizarre premise of this anime--basically, fire demons out to hurt people--was first revealed, it basically fell flat with me. It made little or no sense and I couldn't get excited about it. I can only suspend disbelief so far. So, the idea is to fight fire with fire? I was confused by what the rules were regarding what would destroy these things, why they were doing what they did, and how a credible story involving them could possibly come together. Other than the weird opponents, the show seemed pretty predictable: a cool special unit, dealing with a unique threat, doing something only they can do, and, all too typical, having characters who weren't all that interesting. Shinra is trying to avenge his mother and brother who apparently fell victim to an Infernal when he was young and was unable to save them. Because he's a pyrokinetic, he was ostracized. That portfolio seems pretty typical of action anime as well. I don't know exactly why, but the premise of this show was more than I could swallow, and I decided to pass.
