Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry

There exist few humans in this world with the ability to manipulate their souls to form powerful weapons. Dubbed "Blazers," these people study and train at the prestigious Hagun Academy to become Mage-Knights; among the students is so-called failure Ikki Kurogane, the sole F-rated Blazer. However, when the worst student in the academy sees Stella Vermillion, an A-ranked Blazer who also happens to be a princess, naked, she challenges him to a duel with dire stakes—the loser becomes the slave of the winner. There's no possible way that Stella can lose, right?

As he tries to prove his strength to a world that believes him to be the weakest, Ikki gains new friends, wisdom, and experience.

Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry... where do I even start? I mean, I've seen some great anime in my time, but this one... it's something special.

First of all, Stella. Oh my god, Stella. She's literally the most adorable and cute girl I've ever seen in anime. I mean, I'd marry her in a heartbeat if I could. But it's not just her looks - her personality, her strength, her vulnerability... she's the perfect waifu material.

And then there's Ikki, the main character. Dude's got some serious guts. I mean, the way he faces down impossible odds, just to be with Stella... it's inspiring, you know? I was ... cheering him on the whole time, even when things seemed hopeless.

The fight scenes? INSANE. I mean, I've seen some epic battles in anime before, but these ones... wow. The animation, the choreography, the sheer intensity... it's like you're right there in the arena with them.

But what really gets me is the emotional depth of this series. I mean, it's not just about action and romance - it's about perseverance, loyalty, and believing in yourself. Ikki's journey is seriously moving, guys.

And that ending... _sigh_... it was worth it. All the hardships, all the struggles... it was all worth it to see Ikki and Stella reunited.

Mixed Feelings

To put it simply, watch this if you want an entertaining series, not a meaningful one.
This is an important thing to consider if your thinking about watching this. The series definitely has some things going for it, the art for one is gorgeous, so if you were drawn to it just because of that for that reason its totally understandable. Second of all, the fight scenes. overall the clashes between characters fell unique, and the abilities characters had feel fresh and unique for an anime that has superpowers present. tropes aside, the concept of the ... anime is interesting.

Now, if you want a romance between characters that has you rooting for them to progress further as they go through their ups and downs, this is not for you. A proper romance anime is one that takes you on an emotional journey, slowly watching the characters grow and develop, and even if the protagonists appear to be polar opposites, you understand why they fall for each other in the end. If you agree with that assessment, then do not watch this anime if that's what your looking for. The romance aspect of it is an incredibly small aspect of the series, it blossoms almost instantaneously at the start, no character tension or anything, then disappears for the rest of the series up until the end.
The series revolves around the idea of a character who's at the bottom of the barrel, with his entire school career depending on his ability to get to the top. Its an incredibly interesting concert for sure, but with the predictability of the protagonist's actions mixed with his blatant plot armor, its hard to be emotionally invested in the series. Not only that, but the main character goes through little to no impediments on his journey to the top. without getting to spoiler heavy, the only time we see any kind of struggle for the protagonist to get to the top is in the start, and the very last episode of the series. In my honest opinion, the best fight scene in the series that actually had me questioning who would win was in a side plot with a character he only had to fight once, that pushed him nowhere in the direction of achieving his goal of getting to the top. The main plot felt less of "climbing to the top", and more of "taking an elevator to the top." In this elevator journey to victory, the side characters only purpose is to support the main protagonist. the side character development is small, I think I can only count one or two times when side characters faced problems that visibly changed them as a person. there are a lot of problems relating to plot in most aspects, but if you dont care, then watch it.

yeah, that list of cons was much bigger then the pros. as a quick personal note, I watch anime purely for entertainment and dont actively seek out finding problems with shows, but this one had some pretty glaring issues that made this a pretty hard watch. But if you can put that all aside, and purely appreciate it for its art and choreographed fights, then give it a watch. maybe find a day where you are bored out of your mind and sit down, binge it, then forget about it a week later.

This show was genuinely infuriating to watch, throughout the whole show i would say there was about 15 minutes of romance between the mc and love interest. 90% of the show was the mc doing a bunch of stupid shit with other girls. The romance of this show is a 1/10, the ecchi of this show is a 2/10. The fighting in this show is okay, there is one or two cool fights i’d give the fighting a 5/10. Let’s be real, who watches an ecchi for the fighting? Anyways if you’re looking for an ecchi / romance don’t watch this it’s a real stinker.
