Anime Series Like Fire Force

A phenomenon has started overtaking mankind – one where people spontaneously combust and turn into destructive fire demons called Infernals. To fight these demons, special fire forces were established full of those with dedication and powers to control fire. This is the story of Fire Force 8 and their newest recruit – Shinra, who aims to become a hero and discover the truth behind the Infernals.

This is fire fighting taken to the
extreme! It is flashy and kind of super addicting to watch. If you
want more like it, then head on down below.

For Fans of Big Flash and Sizzle

Mob Psycho 100

Kageyama Shigeo, otherwise known as
Mob, is a young psychic with the ability to lift objects with his
mind. Despite having this incredible power, he just wants to become
friends with Tsubomi, a girl in his class. Due to negative reactions
to his psychic abilities in the past, he now tries to keep them in
check.

Unlike Fire Force that shows its flash right from the first scene, Mob Psycho plays things a little more coy. However, you will see absolutely stunning animation when it comes to the fights, and aside from that, both series have plenty of silliness in between.

Bakemonogatari

After being saved from a vampire
attack, high school student Koyomi Araragi finds he has several
supernatural side effects. While trying to live a normal life, he
ends up catching a classmate after falling down the stairs and finds
she is near weightless. Thus begins to his foray into a weird and
wonderful world.

Weirdly enough, there is a moment in the Monogatari series in which makes a character look an awful lot like on of the Infernals in Fire Force. While Bakemonogatari focuses on supernatural phenomenon above and beyond fire, like Fire Force, it is full of interesting characters with unique personalities and powers.

Toppa Tengen Gurren Lagann

Simon and Kamina
were living boring lives in their deep underground village when, on
an excavation dig, they find a mysterious object that turns out to be
the ignition key to an ancient war machine. With their new weapon,
the pair are able to fend off an attack from above, but upon catching
a glimpse of the sky, they set off on an adventure that will take
them out of this universe.

There isn’t much that ties Gurren Lagann to Fire Force other than the strongly exaggerated animation. Everything is over the top and full of passion, and the bright and wild animation shows that off really well. If you like the flash and sizzle that Fire Force features in its fights, then this will satisfy you.

For Fans of Demon Fighters

Blue Exorcist

Humans and demons have always been
separated by two different worlds, humans in Assiah and demons in
Gehenna. The only way to travel between the worlds is by possession,
which is how Satan, the ruler of Gehenna, wages his war. Blue
Exorcist follows Rin Okumura, a somewhat trouble teen and son of
Satan. However, while his father wants him to help conquer the human
world, Rin decides to become an exorcist to fight him instead.

You immediately get the same feeling in these series. You get a bunch of fighters that are brought together to do their thing. Fire fighters in Fire Force and Exorcists are not so different from each other, but Fire Force focuses on professionals rather than students. Both series also feature main characters that have a connection to what they are fighting.

Witch Hunter Robin

The world is filled with witches living
low key among the population. With powers like ESP, mind control, and
telekinesis, they are fiercely powerful. While many go undetected,
the STN-J is responsible for capturing witches alive and turning them
in for study in order to learn why they become witches in the first
place. In order to aid in their investigation and replace the member
they just lost, a witch named Robin from Italy is sent to aid them,
much to the chagrin on the normal humans on the squad.

Witches fighting witches isn’t so different from those who wield fire fighting those made from fire. Furthermore, the titular witch Robin also has fire-based abilities and both series are based on uncovering a mystery. However, Witch Hunter Robin is more of a sober series comparatively.

Midnight Occult Civil Servants

Miyako Arata is newly assigned to the
Nighttime Regional Relations Department. Each ward of Tokyo has one
of these offices that are dedicated to investigating the paranormal
and occult-related activities in the area. Arata’s special skill is
to understand non-human speech, something that will come in quite
handy.

Both series take place in worlds that resemble the modern world but have supernatural quirks that require special agencies to handle. Within these agencies are those with powers or even no powers that work to handle the events. While not as flashy, Midnight Occult Civil Servants is a similarly fun series.

For Fans of Unique Worlds

Soul Eater

Death City is home to a famous
technical academy and ran by Lord Death himself. At this academy,
meisters train with their human weapons in order to evolve them into
Death Scythes to be wielded by the Grim Reaper, Lord Death. Only by
consuming 99 evils souls and the soul of one witch will a weapon be
able to evolve. This is the story of several students of the academy
as they try to grow stronger and protect Death City in the process.

Made by the same author, you will see a lot of similarities. The character designs all have a similar look to them and specifically the firehouse is highly modeled after the oddities found in Death City. However, the author does excel in making fun characters in unique worlds.

Attack on Titan

Facing imminent extinction, humanity
retreated behind a series of tall, thick walls to escape their most
dangerous threat – massive human-like Titans with a taste for human
flesh. With an enemy that eats humanity for fun rather than food,
they are at constant threat. As such, it is the duty of every human
to defend the species. Enter Eren Yegaer, after his village was
destroyed by a Titan breach, Eren and his adopted sister Mikasa join
the Survey Corps, a faction of the military that scouts and combats
Titans outside the walls. After joining in the brutal war, Eren
discovers a brutal secret about himself that could unravel what the
world thinks they know about Titans.

Both series take place in a world that feels familiar, but there is something completely out of place that needs fighting. Both Infernals and Titans are incredibly dangerous and require special agencies to fight them.

Blood Blockade Battlefront

Vampires, fishmen, supersonic monkeys –
they are all normal residents living alongside humans in Hellsalem’s
Lot, formerly known as New York City. When a gate between Earth and
the Beyond popped up there three years ago, old NYC became dominated
by monsters and now Libra, a secret organization, is tasked with
keeping it in order. However, for main character Leonardo Watch, he
is no one special, just a hobbyist photographer. However, when he
obtains the All-Seeing Eyes of the Gods, he finds himself recruited
into Libra.

Love modern cities that seem normal at
a glance, but have a lot of supernatural weird events going on?
Because that is what you get in both of these series. They follow
supernatural agencies doing their best to contain all the troubles in
the area.
