Failure Frame: I Became The Strongest And Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells...

Failure Frame: I Became The Strongest And Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells looked interesting...

Touka always faded into the background at school. And when he's summoned to another world with his classmates, that still doesn't change! They all acquire top-rank skills, except Touka, who's deemed a failure and cast to ancient ruins by the goddess Vicius. Turns out, his low-rank skills may not be so useless after all. Now, he seeks revenge against the goddess, and his true nature is revealed.

Our resident anti-hero, Touka, is summoned to another world along with the rest of his class and is deemed the weakest link by the goddess Vicius and promptly dumped into a dungeon full of monsters where he is expected to die. Touka's powers are relatively weak, but, his powers accumulate strength quickly depending on how many monsters Touka kills and he ends up farming the monsters to level up with astonishing speed. All the while, Touka's rage against the goddess grows and he uses this rage as inspiration to keep going.

Touka manages to escape the dungeon and meets Seras, a high elf, travelling in disguise as a human, as she has a bounty on her head for defying the goddess Vicius. After Touka defeats some of Seras' pursuers, she decides to follow him on the path of vengeance against the goddess Vicius. Meanwhile, as Touka racks up some impressive kills, the rest of Touka's former classmates have divided themselves into various factions and are still learning to use their abilities. During the course of the series, Touka's personality splits. One aspect wants to do good deeds particularly for those that treat him well. The other aspect wants to see people suffer, particularly those who've done evil or who Touka feels are deserving of suffering.

While there aren't any naughty bits, there are some modest yuri moments between Vicius and one of her cohorts. Red ink abounds as Touka and other slaughter people and monsters with reckless abandon. The animation style is mostly traditional looking with some 3D-ish elements thrown in for good measure. Many of the monsters have a similar somewhat unreal quality to them that seems to stand out, especially when they move in groups. I have to admit, I was a little distracted by the animation at times. Even so, I still enjoyed Failure Frame and gave it a 4 out of 5.
