Not that bad
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.

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.

Amazing, diverges from standard anime
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.

3 episodes in and it's... meh...
Judging by the rule of three episodes, this would be my last watch.
When watching the first episode this revenge anime has a lot of potential for an interesting story, but episode 2 and 3 has both slowed it down and made it less interesting.
It got a lot of production value with interesting creature design and the use of highlights on the characters creates a really beautiful design style but's cheapened by massive use of 3D that's poorly mixed with the 2D element. This is a problem when they use 3D on the main character which pulls you out of the immersion with how soulless and out of place it looks.
For what this anime has in style it lacks in character development, which means I don't really care for any of the characters after 3 episodes, and if I didn't have a neurotic need to finish shows I've started I would stop at episode 3.

Classic self insert cringe
This is just another self insert "Bad things always happen to good guys" I bet the author of this was a loser and wanted to write something where a loser becomes overpowered and kills all h that have wronged him. When Mimori's backstory is revealed and he had an abusive child hood, that was the author self insert of what he had wish had happened to him so he had a valid reason for being a loser because realistically that never happened. There's a scene where his "inner demon" is telling him to stop pretending to smile and let your true self come out, that was one of the corniest, cringiest scenes I have ever scene. I bet later down the line theres gonna be a harem, which is a classic for these self insert losers. Don't watch this garbage.

Overall
The storyline of this anime is superb and the action of the anime is top notch. I love how Touka use anything at his disposal for his revenge and he didn't let any weakness crept into his revenge. I think this anime is the best revenge anime I've ever watched and I pray every revenge anime will be like this.
I recommend this anime to everyone who wants to enjoy great anime revenge series. I urge everyone to watch this anime.
From episode 1 to the end of the anime is top notch. The MC is very smart and incisive unlike some anime MC who are hesitant. He makes sure not to let anyone opportunity slide.
Great anime,great plot and great action.

Paralyze, poison
Paralyze, poison.
Get used to these words because that is going to be the entirety of this anime. I've never reviewed an anime but this one was so offensive to my time that I had to.
I managed to get through it because I do enjoy "so bad its good" content and this definitely falls into that category most of the time. But do be warned; the entire anime, every single encounter, ends with paralyze, poison. There are 0 stakes anywhere in this anime. Even when faced with the greatest hero in all of the world all it takes is 2 words for him to defeat.
And the story isn't anything to write home about either; very simple and bare bones. The over arching plot is mildly interesting but the moment to moment and episode to episode plotlines are very weak and except for a single exception wraped up entirely instantly.
The graphics are what you'd expect from a PS1 game; I thought it was going for a dark souls feel and it nailed it if that was its goal but then the themes shifted quickly and now it has nothing in common with darksouls except the low quality CGI and it is used SO MUCH; two characters could be having a casual chat and suddenly everything turns into CGI for 10 seconds for a character to get on their knees and say something and its back to normal, very jarring.
Overall if your fine with 0 fighting animations due to everything dying in 2 words in every single fight(without exception) and you like shonen anime (because this anime has 0 stakes and risks etc) and sloppy CGI then this would be a perfect fit for you
SPOILER also for anyone thinking I didn't do my due diligence I watched the entire thing, I know about the panther, his new skills (ice and such) and his 80 person limit and so on. This is my opinion after suffering through the entire thing.
