Besides the power of music, which I reflected on again in my recent post, another observation from
anime that I have talked about before is that of human sexuality. You can see that observation, and the
others that I talk about, in the introduction to the summer anime class that I teach (Day 2 post). For the
sake of mentioning it again here, human sexuality is a big issue in anime (manga too I guess, but it's
probably more noticeable in anime). It's a more obvious issue in some anime than in others, but it's
something that should not be ignored. However, even though human sexuality is something that
should not be ignored, it doesn't have to be what the anime focuses on, especially if there is supposed
to be a different focus. The series Fire Force is an example of this.
The first video in this reflection of the series Fire Force is of what the series is about and the second
video in this reflection is of what the series can be about. The premise of the series isn't what creates
issues of human sexuality, but the characters do, or can rather, as well as how the characters interact
with one another and how this is, or can be, seen. Remembering what a show is supposed to be
about, not what it can be about, is important to be mindful of when watching it. That also goes for the
characters in the show and what they do, which is related to the premise of the show and what this
premise involves. What it can involve shouldn't be ignored, but it's not as important as what it's
supposed to be about or mean.
Anyway, this is what I get out of the series Fire Force. Issues of human sexuality are important, but
not so important that they dominate what the show is supposed to be about (I have finished watching
the series recently - there is definitely a lot more to it than issues of human sexuality).
