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

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.

"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.

Cinematography / Animation

Animation was not the worst. But I did not care for it. It is along the lines of Berserk in terms of animation style... I won't say quality, but in terms of style... yes. (And I mean this specifically in reference to fight scenes, every fight scene is the same animation style).

Editing

The story progressed pretty smoothly. Each scene goes in the order that it needs to, leaving out no inconsistencies in continuity. There are on occasion backstories that exist within an episode, but there is no stand-alone backstory episode, at least that I can remember.

Mise en Scene

In terms of the setting of specific scenes, I think the coolest moment in the anime comes in episode 6, personally. There is another moment when the MC travels to a location which provides a similar cool moment. This happens around episodes 9-10.

Performance

The actors and actresses did a great job of showing the specific emotions of pride, ego, and anger. As much as it makes you dislike certain characters, they were portrayed really well. So... a shoutout to:

Ryouta Suzuki & Ayami Tsukui (Touka) Masaaki Mizunaka (Takuto) Tsubasa Sasa (Agito) Emi, Hirayama (Asagi)

Sound

The soundtrack was good, the only thing that bothered me was the noise you heard when the MC used one of his abilities.

Overall... I think the anime had a good story and good pacing. I didn't care for the animation style, but that was not enough to keep me from watching it. The MC actually is highly intelligent and basically does whatever will benefit himself and the people he cares about.

I like how this anime was done and still being done! Love the story , the characters and all the magical stuff so the main character can survive the hard story.

Nice story at start that the main character was abused and Mal-treated, giving him enough reason to fight back and never to give up. I like how the drawings were made, the characters voice and lines are really amazing. I just hope to see the main character have some kind of normal relationship with for example,the elf. She is so pretty and kind hearted and loyal. I think he needs more interactions to the female characters since it cannot be just a one-sided massacre for revenge,since the anime is beautiful, it could ruin the whole story. It can be like while aiming to defeat the enemy, must have some relationships along the way and should not be a negative factor.

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.
