phanthinga Review of Chivalry of a Failed Knight

Chivalry of a Failed Knight (2015)

Better than your average high school battle anime

[8/10 · 26 February 2019]

Just when I though I had moved on with the trashy high school battle anime phase of mine until Chivalry of a Failed Knight an anime series from 2015 pull me back in when I found myself enjoyed this anime way more than I expected. Usually with this kind of fast-food anime the story played out like this: A bland and dense as hell MC that no one care about at first step by step win everybody heart and got himself a group of love interest but this anime on the other hand about 5 episodes in the MC Ikki already got in a love relationship with the first girl he bump into Stella and the rest of the series is about those two overcome the hardship from society and that one of the best thing that ever happen to this anime. Ikki the MC is a cliché character but it very hard not to root for him because he always got the short end of the stick in his entire dreadful life and because all the bad stuff people give him so fricking disgusting that the moment he fight back it put a big smile with maximum satisfaction on my face. Too bad that it never got a second season because I would love to see more of Ikki and Stella love progress more in the future
