Anime Like Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells

Touka Mimori has been summoned to another world alongside his classmates to act as heroes to protect the world.

While many of his classmates were accessed with magnificent abilities, Mimori only havs weak low level poison, paralyze, and sleep skills that are near useless for their low success rate. Being deemed pitiably weak, Vicius, the goddess who summoned the heroes, states that it has been tradition to dispose of weak heroes so as to not taint their legend.

Mimori suddenly finds himself transported to a dangerous dungeon and face-to-face with creatures that want to kill him. In an attempt to survive, he uses his worthless skills only to realize that they work almost every time. Quickly leveling, he escapes the dungeon and vows revenge on the goddess that cast him aside.

This series will get along well with the other edgy isekai. If you are looking for more anime recommendations like Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells, head on down below.

my instant death ability anime

My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me!

While on a school trip, a bus full of high schoolers are transported to another world. While most students awakened magnificent abilities as potential Sages, powerful individuals in that world, there was a small handful who didn’t. With a dragon swooping down on them as a test, those with powers decided to flee and use those who didn’t manifest any gifts as bait for the dragon.

Just as the dragon is bearing down on them, a giftless boy named Yogiri Takatou – who also managed to sleep through all the chaos – wakes up and discovers he has the ability to kill anything by simply saying or even thinking they should die.

Now this consistently lazy slacker decides to team up with his lone companion, a giftless girl from a martial arts family named Tomochika Dannoura, to navigate this dangerous new fantasy land.

  • The main character is actually (or quickly becomes) overpowered.
  • Casually murdering humans at every opportunity without a second thought.
  • The hero system is actually portrayed as pretty evil in the world.
  • Limited main character abilities

  • The main character in My Instant Death Ability doesn’t have a “conveniently all-female, not legally harem” traveling party, just a singular potential love interest.
  • My Instant Death Ability has a main character that is very indifferent to everyone except the woman who raised him and the girl he travels with. This makes the murder feel extra casual.
  • The indifferent main character in My Instant Death Ability isn’t out for revenge. He kind of just stumbles into different problems and is defending himself or his companion.
  • My Instant Death Ability has an actually interesting sci-fi twist.
solo leveling anime

Solo Leveling

When gates mysteriously started appearing throughout the world, they connected the real world to a fantasy land full of dangerous beasts. At the same moment, some humans developed superhuman abilities and are the only ones capable of entering these gates. This gave rise to the age of Hunters, those who can enter gates and combat the beasts within in return for wealth.

Jin-Woo is one such Hunter. However, a Hunter’s skill rank is fixed from their awakening, meaning as an E-rank, he is known as the “World’s Weakest” among Hunters. After what should have been a manageable dungeon goes horribly wrong, Jin-Woo stays behind as a voluntary sacrifice, but at the moment of his death, he is given a chance to enroll in The System, a mysterious occurrence that gives him a Quest Log and the ability to level up.

Similarities Between Failure Frame and Solo Leveling

  • Weak main character gets left for dead
  • They survive and power scale quickly to become overpowered
  • The main characters are (or become) more comfortable with killing people

Differences Between Failure Frame and Solo Leveling

  • Solo Leveling isn’t a revenge story.
  • Solo Leveling isn’t an isekai, it is a modern setting where dungeons appeared and people awoke fantasy abilities so they could become adventurers..
  • Solo Leveling at least has the main character resist killing people and slowly embrace it. Mimori comes out of that initial dungeon fully fine with causally killing humans.
  • The main character in Solo Leveling gets more diverse abilities as he levels up.
