(Average+) Fire Force

Note: I watched this series till episode 17.

Series in more sentences:
After people started randomly transforming into dangerous fire creatures, an organisation of fire fighters are set up to get rid of them.
This same phenomenon causes some people to be born with fire powers they can control, and one of the new recruits is a grinning boy with the gift to spawn flames from his feet.

He desires to be a hero, but was dubbed a "devil" ever since his family died in a house fire, believed to have been his doing.

Aw, I loved this boy's face. Ever since I watched Soul Eater, I can't resist an inexplicable shark smile on a regular human being. But the series itself lost me.

The main character got less screen time every episode. Instead, newcomers were given the stage, with backstories and drama I couldn't care less about. This promising show ended up boring me, and I'd like to say that's my own fault for simultaneously watching 5 animes right now; but these other shows still have my attention. With Fire Force I stopped caring many episodes ago.
I really wanted to push myself through the season, but I can't. There's no entertainment in it for me anymore. Grinning boy rarely grins and the overall humor has dwindled.

If Fire Force had just focused on him and his journey, it would've been a banger.
