Hazurewaku no [Jôtai Ijô Sukiru] de Saikyô ni Natta Ore ga Subete o Jûrin Suru Made

"Failure Frame" defies traditional expectations by presenting a villainous protagonist, Touka Mimori, whose journey from abandonment to revenge is both captivating and thought-provoking. The anime's unique blend of dark fantasy, isekai elements, and strategic storytelling makes for an engaging watch.

*Strengths:*

• Touka's complex character development and moral ambiguity
• Intriguing supporting cast, particularly Seras Ashrain
• Strategic battles and magical systems
• Subversive take on traditional hero's journey

*Weaknesses:*

• Subpar animation and excessive CGI usage
• Unnecessary fan service detracts from the narrative
• Pacing issues in some episodes

*Verdict:*

Despite its flaws, "Failure Frame" is a compelling watch for fans of dark fantasy and isekai genres. The anime's ability to balance action, strategy, and character development makes it an entertaining ride. While not perfect, the show's unique perspective and engaging storyline make it worth watching.

While Failure Frame shares similarities with typical isekai, it also stands apart. The hero is clever and consistently uses his intelligence and cunning to navigate challenges. He's ruthless, but in a way that feels strategic rather than cringeworthy.

The animation style is quite impressive, especially for a lower-budget anime. Many other shows with larger budgets don't manage to look as good which is shocking.

Overall, it's an impressive series. It feels like the kind of story you'd play out yourself-using strategy to outwit enemies and eliminate those who truly deserve it.

The faction play is impressive, the villains are fun, I am not sure about the other heroes but we will see how it goes 10/10 no complaints other than the jiggly orbs on some girls that are shown too much but that's anime for you.

There are so many anime out there these days its hard to decide which ones to give a try. When i first came across this one I overlooked it thinking it was just another mid level anime about overly powerful characters that never see any growth and heavily relies on a strong animation style.

I was pleasantly surprised to find the story well written to match the decent story.

The character is actually weak but has mastered a small set of lower leveled spells as it says in the title. He uses this spells in conjunction with his strategic mind to win most of his battles.

The characters grow as the series progress, not just by themselves but as a group as they continue a quest against. Each character in the party has their own primary objective but work collectively to meet it.

All in all the series was fun to watch. At first I was thinking this was some kind of 2nd rate solo leveling type series but it actually did its own thing making it more of unique watching experience. Hopefully there will be a follow up season.

Personally I've always loved the old video game animation. But the show does use a lot of it and if you're not into it then it's not going to be for you. But the storyline is great I mean sure most animes kind of replay the same thing over and over again. But I like this one it gives him a horrible backstory showing the abuse and instead of him becoming a hero and saving people the normal way he has a more sadistic side so he's more like an anti-hero like Batman or Catwoman. The plot is incredible how each character has their own personality that's pretty much great. And this is a very adult animated has adult words and adult content so it's not something a child should be watching. But if they lessen down on a lot of the old CGI animation it would really help out the show. Bits of old CGI animation here and there is great especially for the far away frames but the closer ones or even the fighting frames shouldn't have old CGI animation.

Judging by the rule of three episodes, this would be my last watch.

When watching the first episode this revenge anime has a lot of potential for an interesting story, but episode 2 and 3 has both slowed it down and made it less interesting.

It got a lot of production value with interesting creature design and the use of highlights on the characters creates a really beautiful design style but's cheapened by massive use of 3D that's poorly mixed with the 2D element. This is a problem when they use 3D on the main character which pulls you out of the immersion with how soulless and out of place it looks.

For what this anime has in style it lacks in character development, which means I don't really care for any of the characters after 3 episodes, and if I didn't have a neurotic need to finish shows I've started I would stop at episode 3.
