Sinopse:
When loner Touka Mimori is summoned to another world alongside his classmates, he obtains the power to inflict status ailments, such as paralysis or poison, on his enemies. Unfortunately for him, skills of this nature are considered useless due to their low success rate, and Touka is thus assigned the title of E-rank hero. Things take a further turn for the worse when Vicius, the goddess who summoned the class, reveals that the lowest-ranked hero will be disposed of so that they do not hinder those with greater talent.
Banished to a notoriously dangerous area, Touka comes face-to-face with death after being cornered by a minotaur-like creature. In a desperate attempt to survive, he uses his supposedly worthless skill—only to quickly realize that it works almost every time. Armed with the ability to render the monsters standing in his way completely helpless, Touka resolves to track down the goddess that tossed him aside and exact his revenge.

One of the best story lines in isekai genre with MC getting revenge, unlike traditional story lines where there is a righteous man doing everything according to rule book and saving everyone from clutches, these follows a different route, where MC is ruthless, hardcore and goal oriented. I loved all the supporting characters in MC group, there are no irritating characters who trouble MC. If only they had a better budget for animation and stuff, this would have been great, i have to applaud the writer's imagination for creating such monsters, those are just absurd to look at. Finally, i enjoyed this a lot, I hopewe get to see season 2 with better animation.
Total worthy anime, goes to my top isekai anime list easily.

I honestly think there are some anime out there who have some type of special qualities or abilities: failure frame (not gonna spell that long-ass name) is possibly one of the powerhouses in this regard with such a great "what you see is what you get". Every time our lovely protagonist yelled "paralyze" to the enemies, I, too, was paralyzed on sheer horror. Every "poison" made me feel uneasy too, and all his "sleep" made me slowly fall into a peaceful slumber, as if it were directed towards me instead of the character in the same series. Quite powerful anime, isn't it? Failure Frame isquite the case where the overly simplistic premise progresses so but so linearly and predictably that it becomes infuriating. No, I don't mean it's repetitive (though you'd be correct even in that case). It's just that it overuses the initial plot approach to the point of feeling silly. Stupid even. Failure Frame manages to live up to its name and premise, being quite a failure in almost every aspect.
But what is that makes Failure Frame such a case? What does it have? Well, let's start with a little review of the plot and how it starts:
Touka Mimori, our beloved protagonist, is on is way along with his classmates to some type of class trip in which- Wait what? Every one of his classmates is an absolute asshole? Yeah... Don't get too much good vibes from it... But I digress. So in the middle of the trip they got teleported to another world in which the goddess tells them that they're heroes and have skills and everyone is unique, and the bullies are strong and and and... Yeah, sorry for that, but basically that's your premise on the first episode. The plot itself present itself as such a bitter taste in your already bitter tongue that fall flat, why do I make this kinda of irony? Because I want to break down just how absolute horrible the first minutes of the anime are, we get to see how almost every one of Touka's classmates are absolutes assholes to others while having all the same type of "hierarchy" in class, I always tell to myself that this is the blandest way of trying to settle the tones, like what are you thinking? I don't know anybody and yet you force such a one-dimensional characterization on the WHOLE class and protagonist life just to make it easier to get edgy later? Couldn't you at least hope to wait just a little bit? And am I criticizing this part too much about something so simple? No. Not at all in this episode. The first moments of an anime is something that needs to make you feel engaged to it, that charms that it radiates via the characterization and dialogue that will settle our direction and setting on such works, but this is all we got for our first moment? And just don't make me start on how everyone turn on our protagonist to bully him because he is weak... See what I mean? It feels like all was just a pretext to make something look darker and tragic when it wasn't even organic on the first place, making it that the plot itself feels like something that tries just to fall onto the ground so hard it is almost shameful to look at.
Going back to the main point: the first episode is absolutely horrible, no questions asked. But it’s in the following episodes that you'll be subjected to what you'll hear throughout the entire series. Yes, be prepared for the unbearable, insipid, excruciating, and nightmarish... Paralyze and poison... It seems as I'm doing some kinda of joke now, but seriously, this is what I mean in my first point: Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells, focus in where it says "annihilated everything with LOW-LEVEL SPELLS" because this is a point in where I think we need focus. You see, there's plenty of people of anime (isekai specially) in which the only gimmick is that the protagonist have one thing, let it be quality or skill, that almost runs all his character trying to maintain it afloat. There was an anime in which the protagonist was overly cautious, which I liked, and another one in which the main gimmick is that the protagonist can parry everything which I'm not liking (from this same season), and other in which the protagonist is a middle-aged adventurer (also from this season) that I think is okay... So what's the difference? Obviously, and for starters, it's the direction and how serious the series want to be versus how serious it actually is.
If your protagonist have an overpowered or just silly skill, make it that his personality and plot points doesn't wrap around it.
If your protagonist have a silly exaggerated quality, make it that the series itself can have humor and even teases itself.
But, for the sake of everything that is holy, don’t make your protagonist rely solely on their skill, and even more so, don’t treat it too seriously. At least give us a chance to laugh at the end of the day. What Failure Frame did was the latter. Obviously, this reflects my preferences regarding how a character's personality should align with their skill. I think that what’s most annoying about Touka lies there. It’s not just that; his character almost literally works as an oxymoron for the plot itself.
Now let me try to extend on this little silly idea. You see, the plot enriches itself with the idea of how the protagonist was ranked as a bad hero and how he wasn't even capable of doing anything spectacular, so they decided to send him to a dungeon in where the sunlight don't even peek out contrasted with all the monsters that do peek out to kill and eat, that's known to us thanks to the goddess Vicious, the main antagonist, but there's some question that arise after watching some episodes... First, why send heroes there in the first place? I know it is focused the point that Touka is really bottom of the barrel and talentless... But still, why? This question arise also from the lack of deep and exposition of how the magic and power systems works. Even if it's true that Touka tried to paralyze Vicious to just fall miserably, there's no explanation in how does the effect of paralyze and poison work, neither of how the curve of that power itself work, isn't Vicious just wasting potential like a fool? We just need to take in our minds that it seems that paralyze and poison works on some people and not on others, but doesn't that make Touka almost extremely broken? Add to it the fact the poison and paralyze almost never or straight never goes off the creatures once the skill is leveled up, so it was a little more of training and the protagonist have the power to quite literally kill everyone slowly as he imprisons them. Again, Vicious, aren't kinda of a big fool for wasting this potential? That's one first problem, and why don't use that dungeon as a place for the heroes to train? Doesn't that seems more worth than just doing those stupid errands and expeditions that we see throughout the episodes whose serve no purpose to be honest. The fact that something so simple like paralyze and poison have such a big impact makes it hard to believe the rules bound towards strong hierarchy and the antagonist mentality, as I said, is all forced to make the story edgy and makes our protagonist suffer, because that's the point, to try to be serious yet not being serious, just like as I stated on my first point.
That also followed my second point too: How absurdly linear and predictable the plot progress just based on the approach it takes at the start. When I meant that I wasn't focusing on this series being generic, is that I mean that the tittle says it all about the anime both in progression and content; I usually think there's a misconception when you talk about something being repetitive by following the same structure yet having different content in each structure, than having the same content with different structure in the narrative, both of them don't mean anything bad by itself, but that's a whole another talk and I digress. My point about Failure Frame falls into that, how it does the same thing again and again both in the same content and with the same narrative structure and even plot points, which I find almost inconceivable in any media. That problem of falling on the same structure and content falls because, well, the protagonist have the same skills, I remember when I was a kid I wondered plenty of times "Hey! Why doesn't Goku just spams Kamehameha to defeat his enemies with no problem?" well, little me, it's because that would be fucking boring, so damn boring that no one would think about making a story like that, right...? Sorry my inner kid, your words were heard by a japanese man, whose name is Shinozaki Kaori. But yeah, that's the problem, the content itself is limited when talking about actions sequences and conflicts, because the protagonist has only 2 skills that he spams... Then what about the content? Let me break it down for you:
—"Please please don't kill me! I-I don't know anything..."- Touka, in almost every circumstance
—"Hehe... It seems we have quite the easy target... Hehe..."- The enemies, which proceed to talk with themselves like idiots
—"Haha morons you've fallen for my trap RHHAAAAA PARALYZE POISON!!!"- Touka, who just killed the treat of today's episode
The reason as to why I took my tame to wrote such a lame and cringeworthy set of words is because that's the stamp, the golden print, of this anime. Failure Frame somehow thinks its interesting seeing this, even faking a build up to its reader. Like, what do you mean the strongest character showed died because he was careless? And on top of that, he was careless because the protagonist told him "Hmm... Well if you come later to me, I'll be stronger, so we will have a great showdown and yeah..." what type of poor dialogue is that? This is not any type of subverting expectations to make an interesting plot twist nor to change the narrative, this is just a failed promise by the author, almost betraying the setup he made himself by sacrificing dialogues and a character's conflict, just so the protagonist can go "paralyze - poison - sleep - berserk"? That happens in a specific character to which I even made pasta, which for me is the nectar of life, just for it to get completely spoiled after witnessing such a horrible episode. Both in structure and content, there's no grace in this.
And that’s just the surface, because Failure Frame is full of surprises—or maybe not. There’s a saying in my country, 'Chiste repetido sale podrido,' which means that something repeated too often becomes lame. That’s the experience with Failure Frame; it’s kind of funny, considering that even after everything, I haven’t even started talking about the characters. But there lies the problems, there's really a few to talk about when it comes to characters, because if the main core, the plot and world have deep issues, how are we supposed to look in good eyes at the characters on the world? The character, funnily enough, feels really disconnected from the world they live in, maybe because of how the info dumping works in the series, in which every dialogue is fueled with edginess that is not even funny, so the inclusion of the characters on the main plot and the world fitting around them is so dissonant contrasted by the tones and direction it feels like a lazy attempt instead of characters really talking about themselves, that's specially true in the main duo's dynamic; Touka and Seras.
There's a scene I would use to make an attempt to disclosure just how silly this relationship feels; In a moment they're asking a receptionist for a room, to which the conversation goes like this "Touka, I think we should order just one room to save money" to which Touka replies with "Do you know I am a man, right?" to which Seras blushes and stutters, while Touka just keep his Stoic demeanor... And later at that same episode there's a mistake for Sera's part in which she serves Touka herb that turns him on, to which Seras says "Is there any way I can help you?" and at that point I was done, how could it be that Touka and Seras relationship makes progress based on that stupid tension? I'm saying it because a few episodes before that happens, there is one episode that finishes with Touka literally asking Seras "Hey, remove your clothes". Is when you gather all those dialogue when you notice Seras and Touka's relationship was settled since the beginning for the author, so he just made some lazy plot points for it to make it more sense for them to be together; he changed the order of the things, he thought first on the idea of making a partner for the protagonist, he thought too much into that, making all their interactions later are based on some type of fetishistic things related to the fact that Touka is the one who saved her. So no, the characters doesn't even feel like characters, the main duo isn't even charming in the slightest, and they don't have chemistry whatsoever and their dialogue fall flat, even with all the conflict that Seras had at the start and how Touka helped her they still both feel like their dynamic is artificial and with a dialogue so unsubstantial and so shamelessly insinuate that doesn't even work as irony nor parody, not like that was the author's intention tho.
Now... Stay with me in this one, even if it's true that the source material from this anime is anything but good, there are some guilty people here making this stuff. You know, the charm of this is seen how they ANIMATE the source material into. If luckily, a whole different experience still aligned with the original themes and essence, right? Sometimes I feel like I talk to myself. Now is one of those moments, because this anime looks awful, but goddamn awful. The animation lack in almost every department, but the worst and more nightmarish prize should be given to Kōtarō Sasaki, having worked previously on... Tesla Note?! Don't worry, he wasn't managing the CGI back then, but it seems so, as both look so bad that it even breaks the immersion in the series to an absurd level, I won't even give examples in episodes that looked back, just search the opening on YouTube and enjoy. I'm full into appreciating CGI, the stigma is not bad at all compared to how was it back then on 2016, but there are some art choices that just doesn't seem to make sense on my head. There are plenty of scenes in which the CGI of our main duo walks in the middle of a dark forest, making an abrupt change between traditional animation to CGI while having such dark backgrounds make it look awkward, as its like the whole focus artistically changes with no reason from one point to another... I obviously don't want to insult Kōtarō Sasaki, the budget didn't seem to good for this anime neither, yet I can't help but think that the anime would have look so much better without that nasty CGI and those sudden changes in shots that also changes the animation style with no advent just to follow the same narrative, making is unnecessary and awkward. Sasaki's CGI just doesn't work along with Yōko Nakao's decisions. Its normal, since it is really hard to include CGI in anime like that. But if that was the case since the start they should have not done it in the first place... Yet I'm not expert on animation whatsoever. But if I, the public, see those mistakes, is because something wrong is going on there, the general composition of the series looks awful and sometimes even slow, but at least it feels coherent, unlike some anime from this same season, so that's a little bonus for it.
So, what does Failure Frame attempt to achieve in its final stretch, or in its subversion of the tropes it has been playing with throughout the series? It's a bit funny. Failure Frame tries to impose limitations on the protagonist simplistic powers, but it ends up with strange results. For instance, there's a moment where the protagonist reaches a maximum number of targets, and in another case, he attempts to paralyze an enemy, but it fails because... the enemy covered their face? It feels weird and nonsensical, and there's no narrative explanation as to why that would happen.
Additionally, why tell us he has reached the maximum number of targets, only for him to paralyze everyone again moments later? It feels like a lazy attempt by the author to remind us, 'Oh, remember, this power isn't all that great... but yeah, it still works.' This inconsistency adds to how strange the world feels. Why is this skill portrayed as a weak, extra ability when the series has shown and told us two different things about it? When the premise is delivered so inconsistently, with basic elements far apart like two separate lines that should align, it becomes clear that the plot wasn’t fully thought through.
One of the most frustrating aspects of this adaptation is how little progress the series makes on the central plot established at the beginning. We barely see the protagonist’s journey toward vengeance—it’s as if they bait us with it, only to let it sink. I understand that this is likely due to what the first season is meant to adapt, but since there's almost no chance of a second season (and I honestly hope there isn't one), this feels awkward and almost dishonest. The series spends so much time with the protagonist shouting, 'Vicious, I’m going to get my revenge,' that any other plot progression feels unimportant and uninteresting. Along the way, he recruits characters who are flat and boring, serving only to highlight how terrible the world is. If you're writing a dark fantasy and the only way to show the darkness of the world is through repetitive dialogue and grotesque characters, then the world feels one-dimensional and weak. That’s when you know you fucked it up.
There are countless other bad things to be said about this series, many of which make me feel as furious as the characters themselves. The blandness of the characters—both in their dialogues and personalities—is so infuriating and laughable that you can’t watch any scene involving Touka’s class interacting without asking yourself 'why?' with an awkward smirk. Delving further into it almost feels redundant. Characters introduce themselves, only for none of them to have any real relevance in the anime. The awkward and jarring transitions between CGI and traditional animation don’t help, especially when the environment looks poorly rendered. The worldbuilding is equally awful, with a weak power system, and the main cast adds nothing to the story. There’s no excitement or intrigue for what’s next—it’s just a disappointing mess.
So Failure Frame really did it great, because:
The plot paralyzed me in horror.
The characters drove me berserk with how annoying they are.
The animation poisoned me for life.
Save yourself from this

Failure Frame is an interesting one for me. A Fantasy Isekai show, it's incredibly derivative in it's ideas and execution, has some absolutely horrendous 3D scene transitional animation that breaks any immersion whatsoever, laughable caricature villain antagonists (You don't have to like all your classmates, but come on!), but despite all that, I dunno, the show was still kinda fun this time *shrugs*... Friday mid-morning, come home after milking my cows and then proceed to chuck on an episode of Failure Frame. Goddamn, Friday was a great day for seasonal anime this time around. Failure Frame in the morning, palette cleanser Giji Harem in theevening right after some odd farm jobs, and then finish it off with the "sophisticated" Gimai Seikatsu, almost feel like I have to dress up nicely for that one, a glass of white wine to accompany. But enough of that, so what exactly did I enjoy about this show?
Well, the character design was top notch, both the main cast and the endless masses of monsters. Touko Mimori, our main MC, does have that usual stock Light Novel look about him, but I'll tell you, making the character look slightly more mature/masculine and without the squeaky voice of a boy yet to hit puberty, works fucking wonders. It's complimented by the way he generally acts as well, a very careful, meticulous character who doesn't scream or overreact at every damn thing, he's not really angry edgy either, just incredibly focused at the job/goal at hand, yet still cares and shows some compassion for his companions.
Seras Ashrain, the main Female MC, might just be the hottest elf I've ever seen in anime. Well done to the artist who struck gold with this one, you did good. She kind of falls under the usual "falls in love with the main guy" trope after certain circumstances, but it still takes time to develop, it's not fucking immediate like so many other shows. A gorgeous badass elf, not much to hate here.
Now, I am a huge sucker for cosmic horror types of creatures and atmospheres, and some of these monstrosities definitely left me thinking "what the actual fuck" or "that's a lot of eyeballs" when they appeared on screen. Part of it was also thanks to the ghastly 3DCGI work lol, but it made them stick out even more, some really cool and creepy looking designs, the last time I remember being so awed by monsters was while watching Gantz:O. It'll never get old for me, no matter how many similar disturbing designs I come across. This show was a lot more grittier and darker in tone than what I anticipated it to be.
Make no mistake, the MC is extremely OP and proceeds to use his skills with little resistance throughout the show and it's a revenge driven narrative. It's not something like My Instant Death Ability Is Overpowered where Bro utters "shine " (die) after an unfunny, confident tirade from the antagonist, the girl chirping in afterwards to make a straight man joke, rinse and repeat till it's over, in Failure Frame the MC is cunning and ruthless and there's not much forced comedy element to his unstoppable killing spree (the way he sometimes fakes out people can be amusing), it's all introspective and analytical as he walks his path towards his goals.
I can scarcely believe it, but I even kind of want to check out the Light Novel after finishing this, which is something I never fucking wanna do after finishing a similar themed anime. There's also that longing, ever present tease of when is he gonna finally reveal himself to others from his own world/the goddess, etc, that sort of satisfactory viewing you can only get through certain situations. It's all very manipulative in it's boyish qualities, but I guess these elements just play greatly to that kid in myself.
Overall, it was the main characters and the dark, brooding ambience of the show that kept this show afloat for me, not sure I'd recommend it overall unless you enjoy these sorts of tropes specifically, maybe have a go at the source material, which is what I am planning on doing in the near future.

I'm sorry, but why the fuck does this anime have such low rating on this site while trash like Arifureta Season 3 is over 7/10? I started watching this show not expecting much, having never heard of it, but by the time it ended, I actually wanted to see more. I haven't bothered writing many reviews for a while, but seeing the low rating for this just confused me. Let's see.. - MC & PARTY - MC isn't annoying, has a clear goal in mind and is working towards it. He has past trauma that has shaped him and he's working through emotional damage as well. He doesn't evenact like a sex pest, unlike the majority of the Isekai/Anime shows, nor does he have a harem of women falling on his dick the moment he enters the room.
The party members are actually not bad. The first girl that joins his party is actually a good support cast that is used for more than just combat (like luring enemies) while the other party member is an experienced fighter that just kicks ass brutally.
- ROMANCE -
What is strange, is that the relationship between MC and the Elf party members actually feels more realistic than any other anime I've seen in a long time. They steal glances and slowly seem to be getting to know each other more and more. It helps that the MC isn't overreacting to a girl just being close to him like every other anime MC. He acts more grown up than most grown male characters in anime towards a woman. I was surprised by this kind of romance in this random isekai anime.
- 3DCG & COMBAT -
Combat is fine, though held back because of 3DCG used in scenes here and there. Honestly, 3D use is just weird in this anime. In most scenes, the 2D version looks just fine, but sometimes they give a 3D view of the characters with that typical shitty low FPS all Anime directors are fond of, and it looks bad. The good news is, in the majority of the scenes, there are no shitty 3D laggy visuals like Berserk 3D.
Other than that, combat is fine, though the MC's magic usage is.. confusing. Why he doesn't just spam "paralyze" and "poison" on everyone instead of throwing other spells like "dark" (blindness) and "berserk", is a mystery to me. But whatever, I guess you can chalk it up to him trying to level up the skills.
- THE WORLD -
I'm surprised that they are actually spending time developing the world. It isn't a generic shite world like Arifureta. They have different locations, interesting creatures and unique NPC's with dungeons. It actually feels like an adventure, a feeling most of these fantasy shows lack. I won't say it's the "BEST WORLD EVAR" or something, but they put more work into it than most Isekai or fantasy shows.
- RATING -
Why is this rated so low? Some people complain about "horny" world or rape attempts on women, which shows the bubble most reviewers live in. Real world wars have shown, women are the first casualty for a reason. Assaulting women of enemies is the first thing armies do in war, just like local criminals. This world is actually far more realistic in this depiction than other anime where local goons or armies act all gentlemen-like and never assault women, choosing to kill them and move on.
I mean, FFS, there are actual wars and events in the middle-east where we've seen this play out in the last few years. How oblivious do you have to be about world events and how sheltered life do you have to live to complain about this?
Whatever, rating it 10/10 just to do my part to counter the negative rating a bit.

Among all the action anime on my watchlist this Summer of 2024, this one is a guilty pleasure. It may be tropey but it scratches the itch left by 'Redo of Healer.' Here's the synopsis: Our main character Mimori Touka along with his classmates was on a school trip. But the bus they were on was magically transported to another world thanks to the goddess Vicius. Everyone in the class had powers, which Vicius would use for whatever purpose, but Touka had the weakest. He was left on a chambre to die, but he survived. He gets by with low-level skills but he was able tolevel them up to the point that he is so strong. Basically, this is a revenge story, not just against the goddess Vicius who is the main antagonist but also against his schoolmates who bullied him.
What should be clear by now is that there is nothing unique here. In fact, these tropes were parodied earlier this year in 'My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me!'
It doesn't help that the animation especially the CGI is subpar. Many people are bothered by it, but not me. Here's why.
The story is half-decent and is my greatest guilty pleasure. The angst of the main character is relatable. Who wouldn't want to take vengeance against people who looked down on you? In all the episodes, it managed to be really entertaining.
His three female companions are interesting. Seras Ashrain, the most desirable woman in that world, is a great sword wielder. She is more than her looks. Another companion is the gladiator, Eve Speed. She has great physical strength. And finally Lisbeth. Born as a slave, she might prove to be an interesting character down the road.
But here's another potential downside. The world of this anime is vast. It could have been explored really well if this were a long-running, battle shounen. A great example would be the coliseum arc. It could have been at least 5 great episodes.
But alas! The author and the anime studio had to choose scenarios that are good enough but you are left wondering if the other choices are more compelling.
I like it and therefore recommend it, but be mindful that it doesn't have the best animation available.

If I had to summarize my thoughts in one sentence, it would be: This anime fucking sucks, I got mild enjoyment out of it. Ohh boyy this will be a short one, thank god. The Good: It's a cheap revenge porn ahh isekai. The MC is logical, calculating, merciless, and extremely goal oriented. The side characters are a nice touch, nice chemistry between them, none of them are annoying retards that and make me want to castrate myself. The plot is barebones, but it works; the pacing in on point. The Bad: The anime is so hideous, it actually made me want to skip the 'fight'scenes. The monster designs might look great on a manga panel, but it looks absolutely dogshit in CGI form. The MC is absolutely OP in the worst way possible, fights are ended in a couple words, regardless of the opponent, 0 stakes. Edgy, cringey, generic dialogue, that make me question life.
This is the type of shit you watch if u have absolutely nothing else to watch and need to scratch the isekai craving itch (me). Failure Frame is bad in nearly every way, but something about it just works. Watch the first couple eps and decide for yourself.

I am honestly a bit surprised how much hype I have been hearing about this as it entered into its final weeks of airing. From the start with this anime, I absolutely loathed this one. The first episode showed some promise. It has every Isekai trope in the book, but it made for an entertaining setup. After that is when it really lost its main redeeming element. It’s animation. Budgetary reason or not, the 3D animated models looked dismal, there’s no other way to slice it. To make matters worse it switched so rapidly between the 2D and 3D animation that it made the poor visualslook even worse.
That is what the problem was. The story was too much like “From Commonplace to World’s Strongest” to where why wouldnt’ you just watch that, or it’s many similar shows. The writers had no ideas. No example more clear than every villain was the exact same. Just some absolute scumbag always verbally assaulting whatever women are around. It’s insane.
Overall, I just can’t recommend this one. I understand people like me love Isekai, but I have to draw a line somewhere. There are just way too many similar shows to this that execute so much better than this.

I wasn't sure what to expect from Hazurewaku, especially since I was growing tired of the typical isekai formula. However, this anime surprised me with its compelling character development. The protagonist, Touka Mimori, has a relatable and tragic backstory that makes her journey all the more engaging. The antagonist, the goddess Vicius, is incredibly frustrating, but she also serves as a great motivator for Touka's arc. While the anime's action sequences and CGI are admittedly weak, the plot and character development make up for these shortcomings. If you're looking for an isekai with a focus on revenge and personal growth, Hazurewaku is worth checking out.

Ok review of Failure Frame Anime Guys, if I could have cheaper produced, faster produced anime without trying to impress with visuals and music. Just to allow some of these lesser mainstream anime to get their chance to shine. I’m game. I'll never bitch about CGI in anime again, bring on the AI voices if I can get my anime entertainment fix faster and cheaper. Bring it on. God, I wish for a day when I can write down and crudely draw my own anime and some AI just makes it into an episode. Just think of the amazing and messed upstories we could produce and enjoy as a culture. Yeah, there would be so much trash and crap, but oh man... the highs, the potential for great stories.
That being said, I love the story of Failure Frame, I’ll read the manga because I’m sure everyone will bitch enough about the "bad CGI and poor animation" for this to not get a continuation. And I do like this story... yes, I am simple minded fool and do not have the years of experience, nay, The Prestige that comes with being old. Watching anime that from bygone errors, “My anime has done it before or was of a higher class of this trash”. No, I do not need to see your list of mandatory anime to enjoy what I am watching now.
Remember the only good opinion is the one you keep to yourself. Yes, I know, my opinion doesn’t matter either.

There is one word that can describe the show: Forced. I’m gonna stop you now, if you want to enjoy the show and just want something to fill your time, go ahead, it can do that. But if you’re looking for a real good show to talk about, this ain’t it. And you can continue to see why. The plot? To put it simply, it’s like playing DnD with a lazy DM once every few months with no notes being taken. It’s a Shield Hero/Arifureta despair to victory style wannabe without the proper build up or effort to want to do so. They show his backstory, aforced scene to show his and the class’ behavior, him being abandoned, his despair at that, secret power reveal, and his recovery, all within the first episode.
Not revealing the actual details of the plot, it has the typical popularizing cliches, not the harem surprisingly, and convenient plot drops, things being perfectly in line to make things simpler. But this pushes it to another degree, setting sudden limitations, that would’ve affected earlier plot, to make the current situation more dire, then forgetting they exist in later similar situations and coming up with another restriction instead. Any minor obstacle is surpassed within the next few minutes without any build up, as if they were just setting it up as a safety net to stifle question. Characters, that seem world changing, are introduced and swiftly rid of, never to be mentioned again, solely to cover up plot holes or to show off the MC’s strength. There’s also sudden romance scenes that come out of nowhere, with the heroine falling obsessively in love with the MC quickly. And man, the author must’ve been horny while writing the first half of this show because people would not stop talking about how much they wanted to have a go and what they would do with the heroine.
The MC himself is as consistent as the plot, falling into whatever suits the current situation from a “I fake I’m weak to surprise the enemy”, to “Bring it on b**** I’m stronger than you”, or from a compassionate, caring, good hearted guy, to a “revenge is my only drive” character. They set some of these things up as if he’ll keep up the act, but then seem to forget they did this until later on, where they’ll touch up on it since it’s convenient, then forget about it again.
The class is given screen-time, but it’s more of a, this is where they are and what they’re doing, now back to the MC kind of thing, unless it advances the plot for the MC.
For the music and art portion, I’m not a good judge, so all I can say is it’s not bad. There’s a lot of cgi for anything more complex than moving just the upper body. And a lot of repeating frames, with some looking awkward being looped. Some scenes don’t make sense, possibly due to plot changes. Music jumps around a bit, but isn’t over excessive and used appropriately. Otherwise it’s your average dark themed anime style.
Overall, I’d say it’s a mediocre show. Good enough to fill time, not good enough to recommend. Thought they almost recovered at the end until a forced edge-lord romance scene was placed in. I would watch a second season, but I’d rather the studio spent the effort on another more worthwhile show.

This anime had so much potential, but wow, it really dropped the ball. The story itself is somewhat unique, but it can be predictable at times. While I usually enjoy this genre and setup, the execution here really dragged it down. As for the art style, it doesn’t fit the story at all. The CGI is just plain awful, and the random switches to 3D animation are super confusing, which totally kills the vibe! The characters are another weak point. While they have some interesting traits, they often come off as flat, lacking the depth needed to feel well-rounded. They have strengths and weaknesses, but theyalso veer into being unusually strong or stupid at times, which feels unrealistic.
Speaking of realism, the characters’ reactions to events often feel off. Instead of being relatable, their responses can come across as forced or exaggerated, which doesn’t help immerse you in the story.
As for whether others might enjoy this series, I think some people might still find it appealing due to the genre and the basic premise. However, for viewers looking for depth and solid execution, they might feel disappointed like I did. If you don’t want a headache, just read the manga instead—it’s way better!

Hazurewaku is a bare bones isekai, with little to nothing going for it. It will jar you in a way no anime should, that being with its CG animation, used for both characters and monsters, at random. When it doesn't use CG, it's just fine. Unfortunately, the premise is the most interesting part of the anime, and the rest of the 11 episodes are largely uneventful, with no spots worthy of mentioning. Even the 12 episode is so nonchalant about things, that I pondered if there is a 13th episode to finish this season...there isn't apparently. This series is justanother anime with 0 passion. These types of anime are so common these days now, it's getting annoying. The team working on this are just there for a pay cheque, and it's clear.
Animation 6/10
- The CGI is tolerable on monsters, but god awful when used for characters...I don't get it, it's just lazy.
Sound 6/10
- I don't score sound poorly often, as most shows do enough, which this show does. There is nothing extraordinary about anything in its sound design, the OP is bad, the ED is good.
Story 4/10
- Good isekai premise, but bad execution from episode 2 on. The protagonist levels up by using the same move set every time, and it's just braindead story telling.
Characters 5/10
- I like Seras.
Enjoyment 6/10
- I didn't hate it, I didn't like it, but I watched it.
This anime had potential from the get-go, but I can't see it getting any better. I can't in good faith tell others to waste their life force on this.

Honestly solid show, kinda gives me Shield Hero or maybe Arifureta? but good vibes. The Plot is a solid 9, very compelling but also simple enough. It doesn't really pretend to be something its not, and is ultimately pretty damn engaging for me at least. The characters are also surprisingly good, like an 8. There are like 10 different classmate all with interesting personalities, and his main companions are also relatively interesting. I think its super refreshing to have an obvious romantic interest without any harem BS, and doesn't give me will they wont they vibes. Oh and by the way, the protagonist is quite good, witha honestly realistic outlook on life.
now lets talk about a big issue... I am NOT an animation snob, but this show has some really bad CG, not to mention the actual animation is pretty mid even by my standards. But I wouldn't let this bother you, its overall still a good show.
give it a shot if you want some good isekai, the isekai market doesn't have a lot of good fodder rn.

This is one of those trash isekai that I enjoyed watching as mindless entertainment, but it is unquestionably a bad anime. There was a time in anime when people used the three episode rule before deciding if a series was good or not, these days you can generally tell just after the first episode. But I also put it to you that the OP also tells you a huge amount about the series. The OP sets the tone, it tells you what the studio thought was important to focus on, and how they want to present the series. More than that, a great OP where the studio hasput in time and care, usually means the series itself is going to be good.
A generic average OP pretty much is always tied to a generic average series
And a bad OP is a bad sign, because if the studio couldn't even put any effort into the OP, then you know the series will also be bad.
In just 2-3 minutes the OP allows you to set your expectations for what the series has in stall for you.
With Failure Frame, the OP tells you all you need to know about this series, of cause the problem is like a lot of anime these days, the OP is used as the ED of the first episode.
A class of students are Isekai'd, one student is separated from the others and is in a cave where he faces a horde of monsters alone, the other students are off training, while he meets a blonde elf girl and forms a party with other fantasy world characters from the fantasy world.
It has terrible animation, using that oversaturation and halo effect that is the anime equivalent to the lens flare, it doesn't look good especially when it is overused, bad CG, and yes, this is all featured in the OP
Without even going into the plot in any detail, it should sound familiar to anyone who watches isekai, these tropes have been done before, but most famously by Arifureta, the problem is Arifureta is better in almost every single way, and yes, even down to its bad CG, because even though Arifureta also has bad animation and bad CG, it isn't used constantly, 50% of Failure Frame uses bad CG, even in scenes where you would expect regular animation.
The only reason I give this the same score I gave Arifureta is because Arifureta S1 was badly paced and a bad adaptation. I can't judge this as an adaptation, but the pacing doesn't seem that bad.
Another issue is that it takes itself too seriously, so it isn't as fun as it could be, it is still fairly over the top in places, which is why I call it mindless fun, but there are better series out there for just pure enjoyment.
However watching the MC kill everything in sight in these types of anime is never boring, it's why trash Isekai will always be my guilty pleasure.
This is one that is only for fans of trash Isekai, otherwise avoid it like the plague.

TLDR: Well, it's better than bad story with good animation. Let's get the cons out of the way: - This is the laziest animation I seen this season and I just watched "Bye Bye Earth". Photoshop filters to make backgrounds look like bad artwork, CGI mobos... Hell even the main character and support were bad CGI at times. - Cliche premise. For some reason Japan is obsessed with transporting an entire class to another world. This time they didn't even bother with being hit with Truck-kun. They were in it. And yes, our beloved MC was the weakest who get separated and became the strongest so far. -The writers goes out of their way for you to make "evil" characters hateable. It is very cringe and jarring.
- Low IQ plot that's been done before so many times.
- Tig bitty elf girl. Everyone like big bouncy ballons and a pretty face but needles exposure and unnecessary nude scenes cheapens the story.
- Stupidly OP MC. The few times he got hurt later on, he really didn't have to. The over dramatization of fights where he basically single combos the monsters just took away from the moment.
There are Pros:
- The MC is flexible and not bound by a holier than thou code. This leads to some "practical application" of his skill set, which is often lacking in these types of stories. ie the dead don't talk and sometime venges is necessary. He stays low key and doesn't get wrapped up in a whimsical romance. So, the story is not a complete bust.
- Voice acting and sound was decent enough not to distract you.
- Decent pacing keeps you engaged while not rushing through plot points.
- Only the second time I've seen the mechanic "his class is so low he gains XP very fast", which makes sense.
- The world is diverse enough not to have you sleeping away.
- At least a few characters got a back story explained.
All in all, this is worth a watch for isekai fans but it not something to rush to. The only reason I it gets such a high score from me is the MC does what need to be done, which tickled my fancy bone. Otherwise, it's a solid 6.

Failure Frame is a rather apt title for this series because it is a failure on nearly every level. This is an affront to everything holy about this medium. Poor and edgy writing for the sake of being edgy, the worst production values of the year and an inferior version of Arifureta’s premise. I mean seriously, it’s one thing to have a generic revenge story set up, it’s another to have horrible production quality with it. Like pick a struggle. This was bad and really the only redeeming quality it had was Seras, who funny enough was my only reason for being interested in theLight Novels as well when I’d see them in the store. Unless you just want to see some really awful animation or for some God forsaken reason enjoy rapey characters, this is one you can safely pass on.
There’s no nice way to say it, this was rough. Failure Frame started out halfway decent with the whole class being summoned gimmick and character designs that looked pretty good, but about halfway through episode 1 I knew this was going to be a disaster. When the staff can’t even be bothered to not make the OP CGI, you know it’s ass. Admittedly, I do kind of like the story. Like if this didn’t have all the rapey villains, the poor animation, and awful action scenes I would have probably enjoyed it. Yea, it’s a basic ass cookie cutter revenge fantasy, but I am always partial to stories where the class is summoned. Arifureta, Kumo desu, etc. The difference is, those stories(in the books anyway) took their time showing you the character’s growth and them overcoming obstacles, had really good world building and more. Failure Frame lacked in all those respects. Like yea, Tooka gets screwed over and wants revenge on the goddess cool, but I still don’t understand how he goes from being a loser at the start to this gigachad master tactician edgelord by the end of the season. It felt like a cliff notes version of the story, which is sadly the case for a lot of LN adaptations so nothing new there. But if you’re gonna have a weak development arc you can’t have weak production too.
That brings me to the other big issue here, the author’s over reliance on sexual assault to characterise bad guys as bad. It’s such a cheap and overdone trope. Does rape happen? Obviously. Was the Middle Ages sadly a much more dangerous spot for women? Yes. But we really don’t need every villain to want to rape the main female lead or make observations about her body being “slutty”. Like even Vinland saga which takes place during the medieval ages did not have many instances of sexual assault. We get it after one time man you don’t need to keep going back to that well. It just made it hard to take many of the villains seriously because they’re so obviously cartoonishly evil. I like my villains with a little bit of actual writing other than just doing disgusting stuff that appalls me. When I say this was common I mean it was REALLY common. Like every antagonist save 1 in this cour mentions it or is hinted to be involved in that type of thing, it just made me not care about the conflicts to be honest. I do think the goddess is an interesting antagonist and there’s a mystery about why she does what she does, who’s pulling her strings etc., that hangs over her for the entire season.
Production wise like I said this show looks bad. Seven arcs ruined chained soldier and they did the same here. Using CG to animate standing and still character models is certainly one of the creative choices of all time. There was just way too much unnecessary CGI. I can see it being used in action scenes with monsters, but come on, if you can’t be bothered to draw characters standing around in a supposed 2D anime show, that’s bad. This is really a 2.5D show just because of the sheer number of times we see 3D.
So what’s the verdict? I’d say this is a rather easy skip. It’s a story we’ve seen done better elsewhere with horrible production qualities. Seras is great, but if you’re interested in her I think the books are the way to go. I do have the first few volumes because I love the art style and have been seeing them for so long in the bookstore that I couldn’t resist. I hope the actual story is a lot better done there than the anime, because this was not it at all. Hard pass.
Failure Frame gets 6 out of 10.

I don't know why nowadays anime is made too simple, for example like this anime, almost all of it is made using CGI, it feels like watching a cut scene from a video game. From the beginning to episode 6, I think this anime is still quite enjoyable. Even though at first I wanted to recommend it, over time this anime lost its appeal, most anime are like this, when they reach the end of the episode, There are always useless things to extend the broadcast duration. For example, in episode 7 and onwards, who knows what happened, this anime became more about chatting than progressing the storyline.I was so bored watching this, that I had to skip some of the unnecessary chat scenes to get to the main story.
Let's skip the bad parts, I commend the voice actors who did a great job on this anime.
The voice acting here is very good, especially the MC who sounds intimidating, but unfortunately the anime is not as good as expected.
If this anime was filled with soft voice actors, I don't know, maybe the result would be worse than now.

It's alright. The characters are cliche. The set up is cliche. The animation is shoddy at best. But why do I say it's still alright? The story is interesting enough and the you do get to see the MC grow from being a timid wuss to a harden battler. You see him let vengeance consume him. It's also refreshing to see Tooka actually doing what's needed to be done- ala slaying evil whether they're monsters or humans. That said, Tooka is the only character worth watching. All the other side characters are either overly evil or overly nice. There's absoutely no in-between. Take his classmates. 99% of themare pure evil and asshats and the show needs to remind you how bad they are by showing them bully others. Then there's the annoying ass class president who just cries the entire show and doesn't have any development. Actually no one does, except the MC. If it were up to me I'd cut out his entire class' run time and just focus on the MC. Because..........
The season ends on a very anti-climate note. It's a story about revenge- but this season you will not see any revenge. You only see the road to um...setting up his revenge. Yup. So that sucked. But over all- it's a somewhat enjoyable story. Nothing special if you've seen isekai's before.
The animation is funny as heck. Sometimes they full on use 3d models. Which doesn't bother me, but I know it will for some folks. For me, I care more about the story, characters, and dialogue. Not saying the latter are great, but it's passable.
I also really like how you do see how Tooka has to "take care" of business as he has no physical abilities whatsoever, no matter how much he levels up. He does have to use his head in battle. He actually uses a lot of dirty tricks, which I applaud. No Naruto/Deku white knight bullshit.
So mixed feelings over all. I think the story is interesting enough that if there is a season 2 I will watch because I want to see him get his revenge. On the goddess. And his stupid annoying classmates.

This anime is one of those where you wonder: where did the budget go? The story had the potential to be at least a decent story. Within the already overexploited isekai genre, it is appreciated when the protagonist is not just the most powerful being in the world. The abilities are interesting to explore and see the ingenuity of the protagonist to use such limited abilities. Our protagonist plays the role of support or debuffer, so, even though he can fight alone, his power shines more in team fights. So that characters join the protagonist's team makes sense and he is not just going around gatheringa harem just because he can. The team is also varied, we have the one who will be the pretty face of the anime but it is also appreciated that they made a proper beast woman and not just a girl with cat ears. In the character design section there is not much to complain about.
In the animation section, personally I am not against CGI but as long as it is used well. Here it seemed like they had a CGI quota to fill. Sometimes the CGI was used in the most unnecessary scenes possible. The monsters looked strange and not in a good way. They had clumsy movements, felt slow and did not represent a threat, as they looked a bit silly instead of imposing. And you could understand saving the budget for an epic final scene where the protagonist and his team would fight until they dropped, but that was not the case either. When we get to the climax of the story and you think you're going to see a decent display of animation, you are given the most bland scene seen in the entire season. When it ends you end up wondering if there was ever a budget for this anime.
If you are a fan of isekais you will most likely watch this anyway because nothing will stop you. If you are looking for a fresh story within the genre, just keep in mind that you could find it here. Although really, it ended up being just another story in the pile.
