The next big thing?

by [deleted member]

Rating: N/A

Wow. That first chapter caught me off-guard. The comparison to Berserk and Shingeki no Kyojin is spot on.
You know the feeling, when you read/watch the first chapter/episode/whatever of a series and think: "Pretty neat, but I have the feeling there might come even more" and then years later this thing turned into a massive hit? I'm not saying this will be certainly the case with Fire Punch, but who knows. I'd give it a 10% chance. And in best case I was one of the first to comment on the future manga hit. xD

The story starts furiously and epic as hell. The premise is simple, but pretty much all great storys have simple premises and expand on that. There are some quite shocking scenes which let me checking if this is really considered Shounen....ehm yes, it is o.O
I haven't seen such a first chapter in a long time, especially not in a Shounen.
The art is not really that good, my only critic. But it works for now and the mangaka will surely get better. (might this be a newcomer? Didn't find any other manga series by him)

It will all depend on how the next chapters work. This might be the next Shingeki no Kyojin or it falls apart very quickly.

In either case: Read it! This first chapter is amazing!

Not enough chapters

Rating: N/A

Currently up to Ch 9 My first thoughts are it doesn't have enough content so far to really say anything concrete there has been a basic prologue which includes the reason for the characters predicament and motivations as well as the introductions of a couple other big characters. I guess if there were pros and cons from what I've read so far the cons would be it's pretty black and white with the mc being the hero, good guy, saviour etc and for him to fight here are our villains, monsters, bad guys a lack of a grey area for both is a bit sad it could've spiced up the story more who knows we might get some of it later on but it makes certain areas predictable (oh I wonder what this gaurd is going to do to this helpless person hint it's not gonna be something good). On the pros side I'm enjoying the fact the bad guys aren't idiots or morons it raises the tension for the fact it isn't simply gonna go the mcs way every time this kinda leaves me unsure of what could happen to the mc (oh here is where every mc from every kind of action scene imaginable does this oh wait it's different this time). I guess another thing would be is this manga is much darker than I first thought as it dips it's feet into the tragedy genre more so than I first thought it doesn't seem like theres gonna be a happyly ever after for this story.

Extremely bland

by Katsono
9 years ago

Rating: 4.0 / 10.0

This is basically a mix of any kind of violence the author could think of and nothing much apart from that. I'll admit that the plot seemed really nice at first, and the idea of a cold snowy world, with some mysteries like the witch behind it, is interesting, but the mangaka seems incapable of making it good.

The pacing is really bad and the art style, although good looking, lacks substance. Characters barely have any if no expressions at all and the drawings don't leave any impact either. The first chapter, which is probably supposed to shock the reader, left me with no intention whatsoever to continue reading this, and I only did so I would be able to get a proper opinion. The following chapters are, however, just as bad, with people showing out of nowhere and doing things which don't make much sense. The reader is just lost among story elements he was never even introduced to and could probably care less about.

I can understand why people would compare this to Shingeki no Kyojin since the protagonist is a monster and becomes a captive of people he would rather not hang with, but this is just a bland story following the adventures of people you aren't even introduced to, with goals you don't care about and no emotions. Read Freesia instead if you wish to see apathetic humans and what a manga with such characters should look like, for Fire Punch's world's lack of humanity doesn't excuse how savorless and vapid this manga is.

Disappointed

by LordZel

Rating: 2.0 / 10.0

I had lowered my expectations hearing it compared to Attack on Titan, another series that fails in much the same way. Yet, I was still disappointed.

The big distinguishing difference here is Attack on Titan distracted the audience from poor writing with "random" violence. This author, however, keeps throwing out taboos and violence to distract the audience.

Let's see how many taboos we can check off in just 8 chapters:

Cannibalism
Incest
Rape
Pedophilia and Homosexuality in a single instance
Bestiality

Don't forget all the bloody violence. The author seems to have a real fetish for severed limbs and burned bodies. I probably missed some but those were just the ones off the top of my head.

The funny thing is that, aside from the cannibalism and violence, none of it actually occurs on screen. Any attempts made "on screen" are all failed.

After 8 chapters, the characters and story feel flat and boring. Most of the characters die before you get the chance to care about them and the "plot" is little more than a prop for whatever fetish this series is supposed to fill.

This is just another in a growing trend of trying to distract the audience with "shock and awe" type tactics to cover for poor writing. I really wish this trend would just die in a fire but it just keeps coming back, much like the main protagonist.

wtf

what the fuck i actually read? Fire Punch is one of weirdest manga i ever read. I think the promise of the story, about a man that can regenerate himself who has been put on fire and became a fire man surrounded by pain and searching for his revenge is a good thing to start a edgy shounen story, that all the teenagers like to read nowadays and think that is a seinen.

But that it is, Fire Punch it's just a shounen with violence that have shocking scenes to put the reader in a state of ecstasy, with no story at all. The fact that there is not a story or a objective, it not bad, I think the major point on Fire Punch is the characters, mainly, Agni and Togata, that creates a film and show us how good liar Agni is and how he confronts himself and don't know nothing about his life or anything about why he is alive. But after Togata death? The story complicates itself, the development of Agni actually made sense, but the rest? Not at all.

I don't love Fire Punch, but i don't dislike it either. It was a fun journey through all the chapters and free violence that Tatsuki loves to give us. Myself from 6,7 years ago would have loved this shit, because of the extreme edgy content that comes from here. But it's a fun manga, have several fails and a story not making sense 70% of the time, that's all, i starting to make reviews now, so i lack a lot in my writing in general, so, i ask comprehension thanks.

Stupid

by Zamzummin
8 years ago

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

After 44 chapters read, I had to drop this dumb series. It is seriously a waste of time. The characters are dumb and the plot is dumb. Every character's motivations in this post-apocalyptic world seem to revolve around 'movies' or 'Star Wars'. What?? Is the mangaka a cinephile or something?. In a recent chapter there is an entire page of two characters calling each other 'dumbass' over 50 times. Characters call each other 'penises' as an insult. It's just stupid. I can never tell apart two of the female characters frame to frame. They both have shoulder-length black hair and both look nearly the exact same. That's just poor character design. The only thing this series has going for it is decent action sequences, but it doesn't make up for the stupidity sprinkled throughout and there are other series that do violence and action sequences better.

Luckily I read most of it on a plane flight so it helped quell my boredom at that time. I would never read it if I had anything better to do.
