Soul Eater came out a while ago, while the last power up was lame, anime climate in general was different and that type of shyt was normal, you never hear anyone big up Soul Eater for its ending, the journey and the style they had getting there was high quality at the time tho.
shyt naruto was talking enemies into being his friends and the show was still popular, idk if people give that show as much grace if it came out today
Soul eater a classic Studio Trigger show along with Kill La Kill, the studio and their style is a staple in anime
Not wanting to watch fire force because of a 20 year old show doesn't make any sense

if anything Fire Force has had one of the more creative final arcs we've seen in a while, shyt actually feels like the end of the world
