In Tokyo Fire Department's Fire Academy, a talented new rookie is excelling in the strict and grueling rescue training. With high proficiency in both physical and mental categories, Daigo Toake is envied by one of his peers, Shun Onoda. Despite feeling a growing sense of rivalry, Shun recognizes that a part of his jealousy stems from his admiration for Daigo, and that they will eventually work together for the same noble goal of rescuing people.
At the same time, Yuki Nakamura is the only woman among the current batch of recruits. She believes that she will not be outclassed in this male-dominated profession. As the fates of the three newbies intertwine, they may soon realize that the intensity of a real disaster is nowhere near what they have experienced in training. Even so, the heroes in orange will always shine brighter than any fire, saving those in need.

THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP (2023) .... Sorry I mean Megumi no Daigo: Kyuukoku no Orange (2023) This show, honestly, I am so glad it is over. I don't know what people were thinking about commissioning this since there are so many better stories you could do. The show suffers badly from its storyline, lets watch people do a job but make it slightly over the top for entertainment but keep that line. They could have made a show about watching accountants do accounting and suddenly a last-minute client turns up and the music starts. It would be the same vibe as this show. This is my worst showof 2023. It was not needed and it was boring, like literally boring. Also, it did not need a summary episode, I don't care if a show is 12 episodes or 500, a summary is just laziness. I'd rather the studio give people a week off than do a summary, especially this one, it was like propaganda to remind you that you shouldn't watch this.
The animation itself is the only redeeming factor, it looks good, and it is nicely done for 2023/2024. Will it stand the test of time? Absolutely not, This show will be trash in the future, it doesn't have the aesthetic to come back to and certainly not the story.
The sound is okay, doesn't give you the impression of fire fighting or disaster relief but more just basic sounds that don't go through you. This show needed the sound of concrete crumbling to feel like it was coming down beside you but on my surround sound still sounded like it was behind the screen.
The characters are edge lords, they want to be edgy, and they think they are fighting to be the demon lord of edginess. Everything they do is over the top, something you can't do in real life to that extent without serious issues. Is this real? no. Is it trying to be? Yes. The only difference is trying to build in huge issues that are occurring but they just don't land. People get into elite units from day 1, while others get recruited into other units like they are joining MI5 but then sit behind a desk suddenly after they had a traumatic childhood. It just doesn't land, it just doesn't feel like anything but trying too damn hard. They try to show a few different perspectives about coming together because they are friends but also want to sort the issue themselves until they finally realise they need to rely on others, it just hurts to watch. It works in other shows, just not this one.
Overall, I hope this never comes back, I hope it disappears into history. Not all history needs to be remembered. The only thing it had going for it was the current animation level. 2/10. The closing scene is also cringe 500%

This anime is so under rated. Even the rating's score bear some truth to it but please be open about it as it is one of the most best depiction on slice of life action anime in the long run. Yes, the series been hobbled by the long cap at the start of every episode usually about 5 to 6 minutes long including the OP song. When it gets going the story is good. Plus two recap episodes at episode 12.5 and 17.5 have drive many fans crazy and abandon the series. The anime is about a trio of firefighters of the Tokyo Fire Department (TFD) -Shun, Daigo and Yuki. They all have various reasons to join the firefighter squad. They were selected and trained under Fire Lt. Yamagami to become part of the elite group in the TFD which is the Fire Rescue Squad. They all passed but awaits available assignment to the rescue squad.
We found Shun got posted to the Fuwa Rescue squad after waiting for six months. There he found the captain of the squad is his trainer Yamagami and Daigo as his team mate who was there since passing the training.
Yuki remained a regular firefighter awaiting assignment. Daigo can dislocate his shoulder to mount rescue in one of the episode. Plus Shun outdid himself too. Soon they were noticed by the Fire Deputy Chief Amakasu who is an elite firefighter in his days with his partner Daigo Asahina whose name inspires Daigo Toake of the Fuwa Rescue.
Amakasu recognizes the need for an elite fire rescue squad and formed Fire Company M. One of its earliest members is Yuki. Yuki was a survivor of a tragic hotel fire 10 years prior in which she lost all 4 members of her family. Daigo Toake's dad was the CEO of the hotel and was shown to show fire regulations violations that contributed to the fire. Daigo Asahina rescued Yuki and inspires to become one herself. Shun is in love with Yuki at high school and wants to become a frefighter when he saw Yuki's lock screen is of a firefighter which revealed to be Daigo Asahina. Shun hopes that Yuki will go out with him when he becomes a firefighter.
In the meantime, Toake ended up in hospital when his classmates tried to drown him for bringing dishonor to their school following the hotel fire tragedy that kills 140. His shoulder dislocated the first time then. Daigo Asahina visited him and told him to become a fire rescue and save 140 people to atone his dad's sins. Toake took Daigo name as his as inspiration.
The fire and rescue are realistic. The details are wonderful and don't even mind the narration. Please give this anime a chance and you will not be disappointed.

I don't think there are much anime about firefighters, so I decided to give Megumi no Daigo a chance. I wasn't ever really into firefighting (and Megumi no Daigo is not strictly about firefighting, it's actually about rescue), so I wasn't super excited about this anime, I just thought "huh, that sound pretty fun". This also wasn't a very anticipated, hyped-up anime and it still has a very modest number of users on MAL. I haven't read the manga, nor have I watched the Kajiba no Baka Yarou prequel, so I was going in completely blank. And as with many small-budget anime, this one is amixed bag. The characters are about what you would expect from a firefighting anime - several have fire-related trauma, there's some romance going on, and there are heroic figures with genius abilities. The story is also unremarkable, but there are some commentaries that explain some technical aspects of the job, which is educational and good.
What's not very good is execution. There are a few threads on MAL that discuss recaps. Recaps are not something uncommon, especially for a two-season shows like Megumi no Daigo. But usually it's just one recap in the middle of the season. Here, however, we have A LOT of them. There are episodes, from which you can remove OP and ED, as well as a recap, and you'll get about 10 minutes of new footage. It's quite confusing, because choosing to have 24-ish episodes and then stuffing them with recaps seems wasteful. If you don't have enough story to fill 24 episodes, you can do something akin to what creators of Hikari no Ou did and split the season into two short (9-10 episodes) parts that air in two sequential seasons. Other issue that rectifies the recap thing is uneven pacing. As some other reviewers mentioned, one episode can be filled with on-site action, and the other is just going to be flashbacks with very little story being delivered. On such episodes, I really wanted the episode to just end already.
But, despite these issues, I have positive opinion about this anime. In those rare occurrences, where we actually get to see the story, it was pretty cool. The last episode greatly contributed to my final score for this season, because it felt like we're finally done with all the introductions and what awaits us in the future seasons (if they will ever come to be) seems to be more action-packed and we'll see the whole "M Company" team assemble and kick the fire's ass! If you are searching for a good anime, I believe you could find a better candidate. But if you're searching for with an unusual theme - you might wanna give Megumi no Daigo a shot.

i know this is the kind of seinen most people would find boring, and it's low budget, but as a realism and characters/psychology and drama enjoyer i would gladly watch a second season. execution can make or break a show, and personally i found the direction very good; even though i'm usually not a fan of action and find it boring, here i was captivated both during the action and the character moments. what pulled me in at the beginning was those character moments, more specifically the realistic way they're written, which is a crucial thing to me. this, plus character drama in general, tense action(rather than fun, over-the-top shounen-like action), and of course the entire concept of firefighting and the very wholesome and humane core of this show are what shine in it.
the visuals are on the low-budget side but as i mentioned previously the direction is good and made the tense moments captivating (to me at least!), which makes the visuals not really matter (lots of people loved higurashi despite the subpar visuals).
if it's not your thing after 2 episodes it's probably not for you.

In between all of these big shot Shonen anime, this was a breeze of new air. Eventhough this is a sequel of Firefighter Daigo, a sorta well known manga. It feels great. The story is nice and entertaining with the later half being even better. The only problem was the pacing and recaps being good awful long. The story has a Season 2 potential..... The story follows the same concept as in it's predecessor. But, i don't think there are material in the field of Firefighters as such, overlooking Fire Force and this itself. While Fire Force is bit more into the fantasyside of things Firefighter Daigo follows the story of an irl firefighter, making a unique piece of fiction certainly. The story in it self never felt dragged or boring, but the way it was handled by the production by 6 minute recaps it sure was made dragged.
The best part of this whole thing is that show is very very realistic, from it's story telling to it's character to it's setting and plot all things that could happen anywhere in the world. Aswell the characters being human as possible, with all the reactions and emotions that expressed during each of the incidents being understandable. The characters all are shown to be humans just like us to the very core of them. Even the background characters like the Owners of the cat Mei, saying about loss at a old age is hard to deal with.
The story also gives lot of info on how firefighters actually work. Indulging into details of the work. To sum it up anyone wanting to take a break from Shonen and Isekai, and anyone can enjoy this show.

The original Megumi no Daigo anime was a story about firefighters combining action, drama and romance but was quite over the top and cheesy in its approach and rushed and poorly written mostly because of its short runtime. It was more of a promotional material of a long manga than anything else. This series is not an adaptation of that manga either, but an adaptation of the sequel manga, which came out way later. So, what you have here is the adaptation of a sequel, of a manga finished long ago, and not a sequel of the forgotten and never really popular ova, so ifyou try to watch it as a sequel to that entry you will be completely lost. The best thing to do is watch this entry and treat the other one as background lore or some shit.
So this series begins with a flash forward where you see THE WHOLE OF TOKYO ON FUCKING FIRE and the two main characters as friends, before moving to the beginning of its plot with a training arc that covers how they met, didn’t have a good relationship at first, and then became friends.
As it usually happens with series that begin with a flash forward, the actual content you follow for the whole season is never as fun as the initial scene that hyped you up, and I already know that the two main characters are going to become friends, so what’s the point in all of this? Well, the training I suppose, but where’s the fun in that?
Plus, the whole thing still felt over the top and more than that, like propaganda, as if trying to get more people into joining the Tokyo firefighters, instead of telling a proper story.
Speaking of over the top, the series has been criticized for how unrealistic it plays out in situations, procedures, and the behaviour of the main character, who is quite suicidal. It’s all done to showcase the heroic spirit and job that people associate firefighters with, so it’s properly done in that regard, but bad for everything else.
And even that is questionable when you think about the backdrop of the protagonist, as he basically wants to atone for something he didn’t do, and after someone else told him to do that. Well, you begin to ask yourself, does he really want to help and save people, as heroically as firefighters are portrayed to do in series, or is he doing it just to fulfill the task that was imposed on him, to atone for something that he wasn’t responsible of? And that’s without talking about the female lead that partially joined the firefighters so she wouldn’t go out searching for revenge.
And after the training is over and you think, well, we are going to see the characters on real action now, a tournament arc out of a fighting shounen begins in the second half and it doesn’t even show its actual ending on screen, although it doesn’t completely take away the real missions. Even then it’s questionable if you really would have someone training while on real rescue missions at the same time.
Another issue is the pacing, as the most common criticism towards this series is the recaps that every episode has, which along with the opening and ending songs take about a third of the episode, making it feel like there never was enough material for a 24 episodes tv series to begin with and they had to resort to that to stretch the duration as much as possible. There were even weeks without episodes that instead aired some more recaps, as if they weren’t enough in the series, and as if they were even necessary. To make things worse, there were a few episodes that were basically recaps in disguise.
Not everything in the series is bad though, as the visuals, although weaker in the second half, are not exactly bad. The artwork is pretty good, as are the backgrounds. The character designs though are very simple and hard to distinguish one from another when they are all suit and geared up, the motions are ok but nothing more than that, and the special effects are…good when they are not CGI, but when they are CGI they look really crude. The thing is, during some episodes of the second half the artwork, motions and even the in-betweening were pretty bad, the first two episodes after New Year’s Eve were particularly bad in that regard, even more so because one of them was a disguised recap with a very minimal amount of motions.
The sound effects and soundtrack are good, impactful and convey that heroic feeling that the series goes for, and that goes particularly for the opening, which sounds like it came out straight from a 90s fighting shounen. There were two ending songs and they were weird on a first listening but ok as you listen to them after that first time, one is kind of very melancholic and the other one is quite upbeat, both initially feeling unfitting for this type of show, but they grow on you if you like ballads and they give a hopeful feeling, which goes well with the more relaxed episodes and especially those after some citizen was saved and wants to thanks the firefighters or those after a tragedy was avoided. The voice acting is well done but nothing that remarkable and it feels quite typical.
Another good thing is that the characters appear simple and archetypical at first, and although they never really grow out of their archetypes, the more they interact with other characters and the more backdrop information about them is revealed, even showing how they are more interconnected as they seemed to be at first, they don’t remain as two dimensional as they initially are, which is particularly good for Shun, who had a lame ass backdrop story of wanting to be a firefighter to impress the female lead, until his real reason for becoming one is revealed.
So in the end the chances of enjoying this show or hate it come from the expectations which one approaches it with. If you want an ongoing plot, then you’ll most likely not going to like it, if you want a realistic drama about firefighters, then you’ll probably hate everything about it. As you’ll surely do if you don’t like fiction that feels propagandistic, unless you agree with its agenda. If recaps are the thing you hate the most while watching a show, then don’t even bother with this one. If otherwise you go into it and accept it as a hot-headed callback to retro shounen and something akin to a sport series than anything else, then you’ll probably like it.

Firstly, the recap, intro and preview take up a lot of the episode, Yes. Only these days it's really not that difficult to skip it and get straight back into the part you're up to. So no issues there. The show, is captivating and unique, Fire Rescue is super interesting and whilst the events that take place may be exaggerated for viewer entertainment, It's not hard to imagine many of these rescues or similar taking place somewhere around the world. The traits for these rescuer's highlight their bravery, courage and determination to save people and it was easy to connect with these characters. It focuses mostlyon the efforts of the Fuwa Special Rescue Corps and it's two latest recruits; Toake Daigo and Onoda Shun. Their development, whilst it sometimes skips ahead in time, was really good. It demonstrates how their rescues and experiences shape them and their outlook on each other which in turn shows the importance of teamwork and the strong bonds and trust required between one another when performing a rescue.
The reasons why my rating isn't any higher is because the show often refers back to whatever's happening in the first 5 minutes of the show, but then fades back out without really informing you about what it is or what's going on and the timelines are a bit messy and difficult to keep track of. Also some event's you think might be pretty important or interesting, suddenly get skipped to the end result and you're just left with a feeling like what happened ? But that's it, everything else was good, music, story, characters, rescues
I think this is right up the alley of anyone who enjoys action dramas and definitely recommend giving it a go, the MAL score seems sadly low/underrated.
