Manga and Anime are the absolute WORST at collaboration, prioritizing, managing which series to premier, which to extend, which to pick up for a multi season deal, and which to send to the scrap heap.
It's awful that not just a few or even a bunch, but EVERY SINGLE ANIME SERIES I have watched in the last year or so has the same answer to fans after watching the current seasonsnVERY STALLE episodic release and getting to the end, I ask the same question to Google. (SERIES NAME) season (X) premier date. It ALWAYS ALWAYS gives me the same answer... "There's currently no official announcement or confirmation for a second season of the "SERIES NAME" anime.
EVERY TIME, EVERY SERIES. Not even like Failure Frame, there's a surplus of fan demand for more, and the numbers don't lie either. They say DAYYAMM! Start the next season!
So there you have it. Too many lazy people in this industry. And not enough professionals to weight what should be made and what should stay in the pages of Manga, not on the screen. That way it doesn't bottleneck or you dont have anime series waiting for more content from the Manga writer(s) since some of them are older than dirt and move like molasses and some are pushing up Daisy's. Keep the production list to a manageable size and stay on top of the best items new and old.

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.

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.

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.
