There is a reason Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season 1 keeps coming up in conversation. Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season 1 uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. For Ikki Kurogane, graduating as a Magical Knight is nigh impossible. Among Blazers, he’s considered the worst; he can materialize his soul into a weapon, but his magical power is extremely low. To add insult to injury, an unfortunate encounter with the talented and beautiful Princess Stella Vermillion slashes his already slim odds and alters the course of his life forever. Ryota Osaka and Shizuka Ishigami lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2015. What separates Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season 1 from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Ryota Osaka grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
