Synopsis

The world has become a slaughtering ground for the Crimson Denizens, mysterious beings from a parallel universe who thrive on the life energy of humans. These merciless murderers only leave behind scant remainders of souls called "Torches," which are mere residues that will eventually be destroyed, along with the very fact of the victims' existence from the minds of the living. In an ambitious endeavor to put an end to this invisible, hungry massacre, warriors called Flame Hazes relentlessly fight these monsters. One fateful day, Yuuji Sakai ceases to be a regular high schooler—he becomes trapped in a crevice of time and is suddenly attacked by a Denizen. Coming to his rescue just in the nick of time is a nameless hunter who seems no different from an ordinary young girl except for her blazing eyes and burning crimson hair. However, before Yuuji can learn anything more about his situation, he discovers that he has already been reduced to a Torch—merely a scrap of memory waiting to be extinguished.

I'm coming from series like Soul Eater, Oshi no ko and Trigun. This first chapter felt like a warm welcoming to a old style of anime. I love how the anime begins using "in media res" resource. It's quite complicated at the begining, but later it becomes amazing.
I was apprehensive about this episode because, literally, before it reached the 5-minute mark, there were already 3 panty shots. But the scene where the flames devoured everything was beautifully done. I'm glad everyone is finally upfront with their feelings <3 10/10
Even though the story feels somewhat cliché, it still manages to make me feel emotional and satisfied. My only issue is, if only Yuuji would stop trying to please two girls and just focus on Shana, if he truly loves her.

A great finale overall. I’d definitely love to see S2!
