Within the anime community on social networks, there are so many leakers that it is impossible to know who are real leakers and who just want to go viral with a post and rack up tens of thousands of likes (because apparently that makes them happy). This causes many alleged leaks to become a trend without knowing if they are real or not.
That was what happened recently, when the Twitter account “@shueishaleaks” shared a post stating that studies david production they would stop producing the anime adaptation of the manga Fireforce (Enen no Shouboutai), passing production to the studios SHAFT. In fact, he was also quick to say that Gekidan Inu Curry and Kenjirou Okada would be in the directing reins, after having been key members of the production of Monogatari Series.
But is this confirmed? We certainly don’t know. In fact, the account does “honor” to another disappeared titled as “ShonenLeaks“, which was closed after they claimed that MAPPA would be in charge of the third season of one punch man (information that to date is still not officially confirmed). However, the popular leaker “@oecuf” stated that “this account should not be trusted”, so it is possible that it is just a lie.
On the other hand, the third season of Fireforce was announced in May 2022 with the title “Enen no Shouboutai: San no Shou“. However, no production details or a scheduled release date have been announced to date. In short, whether the leak is true or not, obviously the possible news of a study change did give something to talk about in the comments:
- «I’ll be waiting for a scene like Monogatari Series teeth brushing».
- «It doesn’t matter, anyone can animate this shonen shit».
- «I’m not going to lie to you, I stopped watching it in the first episodes of the second season. Does it get interesting afterwards?».
- «Damn, I’m afraid the fight scenes will go to hell.».
- «I would have liked David Production to continue with the production, very interesting fights are coming to animate».
- «I hope the animation change doesn’t mean a change in character design or a downgrade in animation quality. David Production did a great job with Fire Force, I would expect SHAFT to continue well».
- «It seems that they are making things clear for a possible remake of Soul Eater».
- «Finally someone took the time to continue this franchise. I’m ready for the third season».
- «If this is true, I hope they have a great sound effects team like the studio above.».
- «And I’m still here waiting for the fourth movie of the Madoka Magica spin-off».
- «SHAFT is a good choice. It’s been a while since I’ve seen an anime produced by them, but I will miss the amazing work of David Production».
- «I have no problem with it being SHAFT studios, they have done a lot of good things with Monogatari Series and Madoka Magica. The only thing that worries me are the sound effects, which are still second to none.».
