The first season got hot and cold reviews from fans as well as critics, who loved the first few episodes and were critical of the presentation of the rest of the episodes.
Fans loved the first couple of episodes but were disappointed when the narration of the storyline started focusing too much on plot building, which led to too much information being fed into episodes of 30 minutes, with plot building taking center stage after the first couple of episodes the story soon became hazy and ambiguous due to lack of focus on storytelling.
The viewers were unable to comprehend and the presenters struggled to explain the vast fantasy world that Reiko Hinata had created, which led to them wandering off the very gist of the anime. The new season was announced on March 2023 with two amazing trailers also being launched which got the fans excited for the new season.

The Fire Hunter Season 2 Episode 1 Countdown
Storyline of The Fire Hunter: What it able to be about?
The story is based in a distant post-apocalyptic future world, where the result of a calamity has changed the physiology of the human body in such a way that, if somehow they come in contact or in the presence of fire, their bodies instantly combust. Fire is a basic need for the growth of civilization, imagine being in a world without fire.
How would it be?, How would you survive? The human civilization as we know it, due to lack of a fuel source begins collapsing until human scientists find out an alternative energy source, that is derived from the blood of monsters called the Fire Fiends.
Fire Fiends are dangerous creatures that roam around the world and are a menace for the common people, as they constantly attack and kill people. As a result, an elite group of warriors called the Fire Hunters are put up to the task of hunting down these monstrous beasts and harvesting their blood so it can be used as a source of fuel.
The protagonist of the show is a young girl named Touko, who one day casually wanders off to the forest, where she is attacked by a fire fiend. A fire hunter named Haijuu, who was hot in the tails of the monster intervenes to save Touko.
He somehow manages to kill the monster but is fatally wounded in the process. The dying fire hunter entrusts his dog Manata and his sickles(used to kill the monsters) to Touko. Touko’s guardians then instruct her, to go and travel to the capital to hand back the belongings of the fire hunter to his family along with the dog.
Toko feeling morally responsible for the death of the fire hunter agrees willingly to take the dangerous road to the capital which is subject to attacks by monsters and other mysterious beings.

- My Anime List rates the anime 7. 23.
- I would rate the anime a 5.6/10.
How many episodes will be there in The Fire Hunter Season 2?
Although there is no official confirmation yet. We can expect the anime to stick to its 10-episode format as it did in the first season. The only drawback of the first season was that producers tried to explain too much in just 10 (30-minute) episodes which was the major reason why the anime got negative reviews.
So we can also expect that the number of episodes could increase this season as the anime needs time to explain the storyline and clear out the ambiguity surrounding Season 1.

One thing that also stands out and contributes to the negative reviews of the anime, was the poor quality of animation. The Quality of the Anime did not do justice to the demand of quality that the anime screams, that it deserves.
If in Season 2 the producers have sorted out the issues brought to light by the critics’ and fans’ reviews of the show and they manage to provide a Season 2, with a clear storyline and good quality animation. The anime will surely be a grand success.
