 The Shounen Gangan magazine's April issue, which will be released on March 12, reveals that the light novel series Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry (A Chivalry of the Failed Knight) will receive an anime adaptation.Riku Misora started the series in 2013, and it is illustrated by Won. It is published by SoftBank Creative under the GA Bunko label and has six volumes in print. The series revolves around Mage-Knights, humans with supernatural powers who can materialize a weapon from their souls. Ikki Kurogane, dubbed as the "Failure Knight" for having no talent in modern-day magic, is a repeating student in an institution for Mage-Knights because of his failing grades. With the installation of a new head of the institution, a new rule was stated: knights with compatible abilities must share rooms and train together for the whole school year to maximize their abilities. One day, Ikki encounters a half-naked girl, Stella Vermillion, who was changing in his room. It turns out that she is a princess of a foreign country and a Rank A Mage-Knight to boot. Stella challenges Ikki to a duel where the loser must be obedient to the winner. This fateful meeting changes Ikki's life as he strives to become a real Mage-Knight.

| This look meh. Probably another 1 cour (12-13 episode) adaptation by 8-bit or some similar studio with a possible OVA to be announced in the future. |
 |
| another Magic-school anime... :/ Synopsis sound like its a mix of Absolute Duo, Mahouka Koukou no blabla, World break and Blade Dance...lel this is not going well, welp depends on the studio now, art looks nice though.... |
 |
| Another absolute duo... :/ |
 |
| Looks average. Will wait for more info. Placing bets that MC is voiced by Matsuoka. |
When Ikki walked in on her while she was changing her clothes Completely predictable from the cover art, but that's all I need. Can't wait to not watch this. |
 |
| Yay, a non-ecchi show is coming up. Might watch this then. |
 |
| Oh look another generic trashy looking LN adaptation. As if we haven't had many of those before... |
| Will give it a try. Will probably enjoy but you can never be sure with these things until you start them and get to know the characters and stuff. |

| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
One day, Ikki encounters a half-naked girl I literally stopped reading there and shook my head. But, eh, I hate to not give it a chance so I suppose I'll at least give it a shot when it airs. |
| Insert philosophical quote or exceptional picture here. |
| Original and quality as usual, huh? Sigh... |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| There's a pile of shit like this that represents 90% of LNs nowadays. Literally same shit, just different character names. Heck, even the hair color is the same. So, how do they come up with which they will animate and which not? |
| "....light novel..." Instantly lost any interest. |
| -these hate comments above me... i love it. ppl are able to recognize predictability when they see it. but looks can be deceiving. -gotta at least give it 1-3 episodes first before deciding to continue. might end up falling in love with one of the characters, ost, story... u never know. |
billybob300c said: -these hate comments above me... i love it. ppl are able to recognize predictability when they see it. but looks can be deceiving. " I swear Absolute Duo is different!" "Blade Dance really breaks the mold!" "SAO/DxD/Mahouka gets good after this arc, really!" Stop with the bullshit excuses. Modern LN are 90% crap and everyone except some pathetic otaku knows it. We get the same posts everytime a new Ln is announced and everytime it turns out that the Ln adaption is just as bad as expected. Face it: LN CAN be judged by the cover, and that is honestly part of the problem. When your series is so generic that people are tired of it even after only looking at the cover, you as a creator did something wrong. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| I'm not judging this because it's a LN, I'm judging it because of what it says explicitly in its synopsis. When your doctor diagnoses you with cancer, it's usually because they found cancer. |
|
| Going to give a shot to the manga since it's usually better than what they present, then we'll see about the anime itself. |
 |
| I was actually thinking last night on this, "This manga looks like a generic harem series, I wonder why it has no adaptation...I bet it'll be adapted soon, especially since it's a light novel." It's a shame though, that all these harems get adaptations even though practically none of them are different from one another. Then good LN like Iris on Rainy Days are forgotten because it doesn't have an adaptation and everyone thinks LN is only harem and ecchi. |
 |
| I know it will happen sooner or later. Couple chemistry here is stronger than average harem series. And my prediction is Gakusen Toshi Asterisk will follow soon to be adapted. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Having read the manga to what it's up to, being crazily similar to Asterisk I'm pretty keen to see this animated to be honest, Ikki seems really interesting. |
 |
| Shit come on seriously? Another tsundere?? (because red = tsundere) Yet another cover with just a female on it??? An interesting title with shit everywhere surrounding it???? CUT MY LEG Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| Tired of Mahouka blade dance world break kind of anime already .. "Ikki encounters a half-naked girl" like we didn't had this kind of start before . |
| before jumping to hate train: MC is not dense as fuck and manga has actual romance development... Will be nice to watch unless it turns into "slide show" like some other 0 budget shows |
 |
| I now wonder why theres alot of LN consisting a carbon-copy red haired "You'll be my slave!" is being animated? |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |

Animetive said: Yay, a non-ecchi show is coming up. Might watch this then. Judging from the cover I wouldn't be so sure if the anime adaptation is non-ecchi.. |
 "In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH |
| So far i like the manga, cant wait to check it up :) (i just read chapter 12 :P) just hope it wouldnt be some rushed 10-12 episodes adaptation, where everything is out of place . |

| Yeah, this looks like the usual awful LN garbage. Will propably watch it for another 2/10 in my list. |
 |
| I was just reading the manga and seems kinda boring. Well let's just wait and see ifit will actually be crap or even slightly decent. |
| How to light novel adaptation: Step 1: Choose any of the 100 magical highschool light novels Step 2: Copy paste synopsis and change character names. Step 3: Be sure to include phrases like "naked girl" in order to let the lowbrow audience know that this tragedy is being cattered to them. Great work. |
 |
| You know, these sound a bit interesting but this is exactly like Absolute Duo, you know this will be a fucking mess, too bad really, I haven't seen many repeating students in anime, especially MCs. |
 |
| Seriously? Awesome, this is interesting i'll watch it :) |
 |
| Absolute Duo Mahouka Koukou no Rettousai Seiken Tsukai no World Break Gakusen Toshi Asterisk Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance Magic school harem genre called, it wants it's premise back. |
|
| Man I wish the magical battle school setting would just die out. I don't even care if it's harem or not,just make something thats not a copy of mahoukaworldbreakbladedancefafnir XD But I'll check this show out anyway, there is always this 0.0001% chance that it might be kinda good |
| Oh look! another Generic boring Snorefest LN written by a Chimpanzee, Baboon, Gorilla ,6 year old Howler Monkey. I want season 2 of Kino no Tabi, Baccano and Jinrui please.

We need more of that trainwreck (both literally and figuratively) |
| Nope, I'm gonna pass. |
Animetive said: Yay, a non-ecchi show is coming up. Might watch this then. A "non-ecchi" show? Yeah, right! xD |
 |
| The description made me interested at first. Then I read "school" and "half-naked girl" Nope. Won't watch |
 |
| so much hate... sorry i have read the novel and compared it to the other harem, even though the the synopsis is the same as.. bahamuth, blade dance, and many harem one... 12 volumes of blade dance and numerous volumes of bahamuth , only the 1st and 2nd volume of this LN is already one my no.1 list, due to the development here is real, the manga is good and of course it's original content the LN...and if your thinking this is a harem, um no.. this is not in my perspective it's already a 1 cour adaptation due to the LN has only 6 volumes, even though i can't wait for ikki and stella to be animated!! |
 |
| this something I'm interested in tbh i like these generic LN adaptions just like ppl like their pseudo intelligent anime |
| I'm always a bit split on these shows because on one hand you know exactly what you're getting and it's normally predictable as hell, but on the other hand it's generally pretty easy to watch. It might be cheap entertainment... but it is still entertainment, which is kind of all that matters in the end, even if it won't leave any lasting impression on its own. Normally it just comes down to the characters to me: if you end up liking them then it can be a ton of fun, if not then it's incredibly bland. I'm never expecting a masterpiece from these kind of shows and I rarely find myself putting them above 7, but I don't end up putting them below 5 all that often either. They're just "okay-ish" most of the time. In other words, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Generic or not, as long as it still manages to be somewhat enjoyable then I can't really hate it. I mean why do people even watch anime to begin with? |

| Light novel is definitely going to be better than the anime in the end. |
