Overally I like design of uniforms too. It seems sturdy and fireproof almost as if it was meant use in middle of fire not swimsuits and miniskirts as one would expect from firefighting anime.

I have to admit, I kinda laughed when I saw the random nun in that team intro. I wasn't expecting a Crystal Dragon Jesus bend to the setting.
Now to be fair, the protagonist was characterised well enough and the concept of magical firefighters battling fire demons does resonate with my inner child, but my interest in that kind of thing only goes so far these days and the first episode was otherwise fairly bog standard stuff. Will give it a few more episodes.

David Productions work far outshadowed anything in the story itself. Sure, the fire animations were great, but that stained-glass window was extraordinary.
I hope that we've gotten past all the flashbacks; they became tiresome and repetitive after a while. I always find the insertion of Catholic imagery in anime amusing. Tokyo has but three cathedrals, one Roman Catholic, one Orthodox, and one Anglican. Not many nuns either from a quick scan of the articles brought up by a Google search. There are about half a million Catholics in Japan, or about 0.5% of the population. Devout Catholics watching this show might be upset with making Iris such an ecchi figure. I'll probably give this another episode or two, unless the constant repetition of shounen memes gets on my nerves. In particular I hate the shark-toothed meme.

Amazing chapter, now i see why is so beloved the manga and the anime trully do justice, a little conventional but very well done. Reminded me a lot of the old Sega Videogame Burning Rangers but more fantasy and supernatural that science fiction, and a little of sukedachi nine.
So the ED is real? if yes, poor Iris |

Split’s for 3-6 months. It was on my long to-read list which I never got to.
