CHIVALRY OF A FAILED KNIGHT

All I'm going to say about this short Anime is that I Loved it. It has its values. I always feel that if an Anime can make me cry and feel goosebumps, it is a Great Anime. I won't talk about the story because I don't want to give away anything. Just that it was Beautiful and Worth Watching. I am proud to own my copy.

It’s one of my new favorites! I really like the story of the two leads who decide to date each other. It’s refreshing that the main guy isn’t dense of a girl liking him. Of course the main draw is the action and it satisfies! I’m not the fondest of sword fighting anime but this one is good! There is of course fan service and dialog which can pull people away but I don’t mind it. It’s not overly forced, and is used as little touch of humor. Over all it’s a good balance of action, romance, and fan service, and even humor.

I remember watching this on Netflix I believe. It was a good anime with minor fan service but I actually like this one. Where a low ranking classman is challenged by a rank A student and she loses. And their story unfolds as their friendship strengthens

There are a lot of alternative universe high school animes out there. I should know I've seen a lot. Some of them are great Aesthetica of a Rogue hero some are so so (INfinite Stratos). Chivalry of a failed Knight falls in the great category for me. In this world some people can become "Blazers" with the ability to summon weapons and powers. If you have these powers you can go to special schools for training. The ability to summon weapons generally runs in families so what do you do if you are from a gifted family but have no gifts? Well to be sure your life will suck. So Ikki finds himself the scion of a family with no powers but he still makes it to a prestigious school. And then the fun begins. This is a rather sweet love story with a lot of action and a dab or two of fan service. The characters, plot and dialogue are far above the typical fare for this genre. The episodes swing from the comic, to the action packed and even to the dark and psychological so there's great variety within the series. too. I haven't listened to the English voice actors but the Japanese cast do a great job and the subtitles are good. This is so obviously set up for a second series that I hope there is another one soon. I'll be waiting with keen anticipation for that too.

- Synopsis: The protagonist is a Blazer: people with the ability to summon various weapons from their soul. Unfortunately, at Hagun Academy, he is known as a major disappointment. But that all changes when he displays his skills against one of the academies’ top Blazer. From that point on, he will meet many allies and enemies throughout his school life. Tune in to find out what troubles and pleasures await the protagonist of this story. - Comments: As expected with the Ecchi genre, the fan-service is heavy. But no frontal nudity is present, despite being rated TV-MA. Additionally, fair warning for viewers uncormfortable with a slight brother-sister relationship. Like in animes such as World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman, and The Irregular at Magic High School, to name a few. If you aren't comfortable with that type of content (understandably so), you might want to pass on this. I know they're just fictional characters, but still... - Analysis: Stigmatization is a difficult battle to fight. One's reputation is almost everything. If a person isn't deemed credible, nobody will want to listen to them. Children are often a good example. Since they usually have active imaginations, it can be difficult to trust what they say. Same with people regarded as having inferior intellect, as they often are dismissed because of that. And to no surprise, criminals also have to deal with stigmatization. In short, once you are labeled as something, it will be near impossible to escape that label, especially if they draw negative connotations. Examples: criminal, monster, witch, thief, nerd, gamer, no-life, otaku, pervert, womanizer, cheater, hypocrite, abuser, idiot, drunkard, and so many more words that can fix a label on a person. I guess many people underestimate the power of words. - Features: Contains English audio, and Japanese audio with English subtitles. The subtitles are yellow and includes 12 episodes on 2 Blu-rays. The runtime is about 5 hours and is rated TV-MA for violence, sexual content (fan-service), and suggestive dialogue. - Conclusion: There's plenty of cool fight scenes, cute girls and fan-service, but no frontal nudity. Like many of Sentai's physical copies of anime, the subtitles are in yellow. Moreover, if a slight brother-sister relationship makes you uncomfortable (regardless if the relationship is one-sided or consensual), like in animes such as World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman, and The Irregular at Magic High School, I'd recommend passing on this. - Recommendations: Re:Zero, Blade Dance of the Elementalers, Is it Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, The Familiar of Zero, Black Bullet, Gate, Hundred, Absolute Duo, Samurai Girls, Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar, K, World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman, Tokyo ESP, Code:Breaker, and Sky Wizards Academy.

This is one of my all time favorite anime. I have been waiting and watching and hoping it would be released on Blu-Ray and now it has and I own it! It is a school battle, love story, personal struggle. It blends these aspects together so well and in a real way that I have not seen in anime before. It is similar to something like the Asterisk War but better. Ikki Kurogane may have come from a long line of Blazers, people with the ability to create weapons or devices manifested from their souls, but as far as the Hagun Academy is concerned, he’s been a major disappointment in the magical powers department. He is so disappointing, in fact, that he’s earned the unfortunate nickname of the “Worst One”. However, things change for Ikki in the most surprising way when Princess Stella Vermillion, the most promising Rank-A Blazer to come along in many years, decides to transfer to Hagun. When she challenges him to a duel where the loser must obey the winner for the rest of their life, the last thing anyone expects is that the Worst One might prove to be a match for the Crimson Princess… and the unforeseen consequences will push the boundaries of society itself in CHIVALRY OF A FAILED KNIGHT!

I was iffy about this anime but I'm very happy I bought it. Great story, awesome fight scenes and I loved it. Definitely on my favorite list.

The story stops without completing the story line, it needs to be COMPLETELY finished, not stopping before the final tournament!

Great show and fast delivery. It would have helped if seller explained differences between 2 discs and 1 discs versions besides price.

Hadn't read the books yet but the anime kept popping up in my recommendations, glad it did because it's a lot better than I was expecting, cute and likeable characters and a decent storyline.

北米版の良いところはなんと言ってもコスパの良さですね！画質は日本版と変わらないので問題ありません。 ただし、メニューが全て英語表記なのと、英語字幕が消せないのと、リージョンコードが1に出来るプレイヤー、もしくはリージョンフリーのプレイヤーがないと再生出来ませんので注意が必要です。 PS3かPS4はリージョンフリーなので何も設定する事なく再生できますよ！SONYのプレイヤーも結構リージョンフリーになってるのでプレイヤー購入する時は、説明欄をよく読んで購入してください。

Buena serie, aún que son mejores las novelas. A pesar de eso no deja de ser buena para cualquier colección, muy recomendada para ver, ojalá en algún futuro salga una segunda temporada

This takes the elements of a number of anime and does them better. There is more development of single characters in single episodes than most anime do over their entire run. The main characters actually start dating, rather than stretching it out over it's entire run to maximize harem ecchi goodness. A decent amount of the plot revolves around Japanese great houses, and this is the only anime revolving around great house politics that I actually enjoyed. So, in short, it's a magic highschool harem tournament anime, which is a large category, but this is a great showing in this category.
