Failure Frame Light Novels Get TV Anime From Seven Arcs, SynergySP in 2024

Kaoru Shinozaki's Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells (Hazure Waku no "Jōtai Ijō Skill" de Saikyō ni Natta Ore ga Subete wo Jūrin Suru made) light novel series is inspiring a television anime on TBS and other channels this year.

Seven Seas licensed both the light novel series and its manga adaptation, and it describes the story:

Touka Mimori and his classmates are abruptly catapulted into a fantasy world, summoned by the resident goddess to serve as heroes. The good news? Most of the students display amazing skills upon arrival! The bad? Mimori is the worst of the lot, bottoming out at a measly E-rank. Incensed, the goddess tosses him into a dungeon to die–but it turns out that Mimori's skills aren't so much worthless as they are abnormal. Abnormally powerful, perhaps!

Michio Fukuda (Terraformars Revenge, Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan: Demon Capital) is directing the anime at Seven Arcs in collaboration with Synergy SP. Yasuhiro Nakanishi (Chained Soldier, Kaguya-sama: Love is War, My Love Story With Yamada-kun at Lv999) is in charge of the series scripts, and Kana Hashidate (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Reflection, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation) is serving as character designer and chief animation director. Tatsuhiko Saiki (Aggretsuko, My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!, Girlfriend, Girlfriend) is composing the music. The other staff members include:

• LO Supervision: Kenji Masuda
