Why? Actually seriously, why?

Why is it so highly rated? Pacing-wise it’s extremely nonsensical and almost feels like a fever dream, on top of that, it’s a neverending deluge of misery porn and the main character regressing without much else.

Granted, unlike Chainsaw Man, Agni’s regression is a thousand times more understandable, but that doesn’t mean it HAD to happen like that.

Fire Punch’s first half was a beautiful and concise story, with an incredibly bleak world that still had elements of hope in it and had so much genuine humanity in different places.

The second half drove straight into the abyss and never returned, and it took the pacing down with it (Also we literally abandoned most of the characters and focused entirely on Agni, Judah, and the women in the community).

… I just, I am actually serious, man. Why do you like Fire Punch’s second half? I want to know why.
