Chivalry of a Failed Knight (Season 1)

Chivalry of a Failed Knight (Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry, 2015) is a fantasy action anime to watch online on iFILM, set in a world where mages forge weapons straight out of their own souls and train for it at elite knight academies.

Ikki Kurogane gets labeled the "Worst One" and held back a year — his raw magic is almost nonexistent, leaving him nothing but discipline and razor-sharp technique. Dorm rules pair him with a student of matching rank, and that turns out to be Princess Stella Vermillion, the academy's top cadet and the owner of a terrifying fire ability. Their first meeting ends in a duel with brutal stakes: the loser obeys the winner for life. Ryota Osaka and Shizuka Ishigami head the voice cast.

Based on Riku Misora's light novels and directed by Shin Oonuma, the show runs its tournament fights and its romance side by side — the duels are genuinely tense, and Ikki and Stella's relationship moves forward instead of stalling for endless episodes. A good pick if you're tired of leads who can't confess in a hundred chapters. Stream every episode of Chivalry of a Failed Knight online on iFILM.
