This week we talk about Chivalry of a Failed Knight and talked about the vibe of the anime and not so much the plot. One of the main points that we touch on is that the main couple actually communicates. We also talk about the main character Ikki and how he makes his own style because no one would train him, and he has a skill that is basically a burst mode that hits hard and then floors him right after. We even argued about chivalry and finally landed on yes, Ikki also sets boundaries and is willing to help people with no strings attached. One thing though is that the pacing bugged us with what seemed like jumps between episodes or ground work laid out but it also felt like there were whole sections just left out. All in all it was an entertaining show and is worth the watch.

Set in a modern world where a small number of humans possess the ability to manipulate their souls into powerful weapons, these individuals are known as "Blazers." and the main story follows Ikki, the so-called “Worst One” at Hagun Academy due to his low magic. His life gets upended when he encounters Stella Vermillion, an A-Ranked Blazer and a princess, in a compromising situation in their shared dorm room. After some shenanigans the two push each other to grow while training for the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, a national tournament that crowns the strongest student knight. The show blends tournament arcs, romance, light comedy, school politics, clean fights and a straight-shooting main couple that actually communicates most of the time.
