Is Failure Frame season 2 happening? Everything we know so far
For the uninitiated, Failure Frame follows Touka Mimori, a high schooler yanked into a fantasy world alongside his classmates to serve as 'heroes' under the manipulative Goddess Vicius. While his peers get flashy, high-rank powers, Touka's stuck with an E-rank label and 'useless' low-level spells. Banished to the deadly Ruins of Disposal, he discovers his skills are anything but weak, kicking off a quest for vengeance against the goddess and his backstabbing classmates. The 12-episode season, animated by Seven Arcs, aired from July to September 2024 and ended with a tease of Erica Anaorovael, the mysterious Witch of Taboos.
Based on Kaoru Shinozaki's light novels and with a manga adaptation, the show stood out for its darker take on isekai, even if some fans griped about the heavy CGI and rushed pacing. With a solid fanbase and plenty of story left to tell, hopes are high for more. Has Failure Frame Season 2 Been Confirmed?
As of July 2025, there's no official word on a second season for Failure Frame . That said, there's reason to stay hopeful. Here's why: Plenty of Source Material : The light novel series, which started in 2018, has 12 volumes out, and Season 1 only adapted the first three. That leaves enough for at least a couple more seasons, so the story's far from over.
Fan Hype : If you've scrolled through Reddit or X, you know fans are vocal about wanting more. Posts are full of excitement over Touka's cunning plans and frustration at the Season 1 cliffhanger, with many begging for news on Season 2.
Studio Availability: Seven Arcs, the studio behind the anime, typically tackles one big project a year. With their 2025 schedule looking open, there's a window for Failure Frame to return, possibly in late 2025 or early 2026.
But it's not all smooth sailing. Some fans weren't thrilled with Season 1's animation, especially the CGI-heavy battles, which could make the studio hesitant if the show didn't pull in enough profit. Anime renewals often hinge on Blu-ray sales, streaming numbers, and merchandise, and we don't have clear data on those yet. When Could Failure Frame Season 2 Drop?
Without a green light, we're guessing here, but anime production timelines give us some clues. Most seasons take 12–18 months to make, so if Seven Arcs gets moving soon, we could see Failure Frame Season 2 by mid-2025 at the earliest, though early 2026 feels more likely. Keep an eye on Crunchyroll or official anime news outlets for announcements, as studios often drop hints at events like Anime Expo or on social media. What's Next for Touka and the Gang?
Assuming Season 2 gets the go-ahead, it'll likely adapt volumes 4–6 of the light novels, ramping up the stakes. Here's a sneak peek at what might be coming, without spoiling too much:
The Witch of Taboos Takes Center Stage: Erica Anaorovael, the dark elf introduced in the Season 1 finale, is set to shake things up. Her role ties into Touka's rebellion, and fans are hyped to see how their dynamic plays out.
Class 2-C Drama: The Takao sisters and Kashima Kobato showed hints of doubting Vicius in Season 1. Expect their stories to intertwine with Touka's, possibly as allies or wild cards, as the goddess' true motives come into focus.
Touka and Seras' Bond: The Season 1 finale confirmed Seras Ashrain's feelings for Touka, but he's too focused on revenge to reciprocate fully. Their slow-burn romance could add heart to the action-packed plot.

Crunchyroll blames third-party vendor for AI subtitle mess
At the start of last year, Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini told The Verge the company was "very focused on testing" generative AI tools for subtitling and captioning speech to text. The comment came just months after the streamer temporarily took down the debut episode of one of its newest shows, The Yuzuki Family's Four Sons, after people complained about poor subtitles. Much of the translation was nonsensical, with missing punctuation in many sentences. At the time, some fans speculated the company had used AI to translate the episode. Earlier this week, fresh accusations of AI use came up when an episode of new anime showed evidence ChatGPT was used to write the subtitles. Igor Bonifacic for Engadget On July 1, Bluesky user Pixel spotted an issue with the German subtitles for Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show , one of the new series Crunchyroll is streaming this anime season. Beyond a general sloppiness, one line began with the words "ChatGPT said..." during a pivotal scene in the show's debut episode. Engadget was able to independently verify the episode contains the AI-generated translation. If you're curious, the English subtitles aren't much better, as seen in the screenshots above and below. "We were made aware that AI-generated subtitles were employed by a third-party vendor, which is in violation of our agreement," a Crunchyroll spokesperson told Engadget. "We are investigating the matter and are working to rectify the error." People were understandably upset about the subtitles. Crunchyroll subscriptions start at $8 per month, and since its acquisition by Sony, service has been the dominant player in the anime streaming market outside of Japan. "This is not acceptable. How can we be expected to pay for a service that clearly doesn't care about the quality of its products?" wrote Pixel in their original post. As of the writing of this article, their post has been quoted more than 300 times and reposted by thousands of other people. Many fans say they're turning to torrented fansubs, calling the official AI-generated translations "unwatchable." People on Reddit have expressed similar frustrations. Ironically, when Purini revealed Crunchyroll was testing generative AI tools for subtitles, he said part of the motivation was to prevent piracy. He reasoned the tech would allow the company to start streaming new, translated anime episodes as close to their original Japanese release as possible, adding the lag between official releases was sometimes what pushed fans to torrent shows. Update 3:58PM ET: Added comment from Crunchyroll. Have a tip for Igor? You can reach him by email , on Bluesky or send a message to @Kodachrome.72 to chat confidentially on Signal.

Groom Says ‘Annoying' Wedding MC Mispronounced Bride's Name and Made a ‘Dirty Joke' that Went 'Too Far'
A groom said he wasn't pleased with the "annoying" MC at their wedding who came with the DJ they hired He said the MC "mispronounced my wife's name as we entered the reception" and "made a dirty joke that went a little too far for our conservative family," among other things He said that he and his wife did not write a review for the DJ due to their unhappiness with the MC and declined a partial refund from himA groom wasn't too pleased with the MC he hired for his wedding. The man shared in a post on Reddit's popular 'Wedding Shaming' forum that he and his bride-to-be had hired a DJ for their wedding and met with him ahead of time to make sure that they were aligned on the wedding reception music. 'He was kind of soft spoken, so we wondered how he would handle making announcements and moving the evening along, but he seemed pretty professional so we figured he knew what he was doing,' the groom said. However, on the day of his wedding, he said he and his bride found out that they had actually 'hired a DJ and MC duo,' with the 'soft-spoken guy' playing the music and another 'outgoing' man making the announcements. He said that while the 'music/dancing' was 'awesome,' he had different feelings about how the MC handled things and said he was "so annoying." 'This VERY outgoing gentleman proceeded to yell over the microphone the whole evening, mispronounce my wife's name as we entered the reception, told the guests that 'the bride wanted them to shut up' during one of the speeches and made a dirty joke that went a little too far for our conservative family,' he said. For context, he noted in the comment section that they had over 280 guests, which is why he guessed that the MC 'felt like he had to yell in order to reach the room.' He added that while 'that alone would have been fine,' the 'other comments were really what rubbed us the wrong way.' He noted that it was a 'bummer' that he and his bride weren't able to meet him before the nuptials and 'possibly find out what we were signing up for, or for him to get a chance to understand our vibe.' He also said that he didn't have time during the ceremony to talk to him about it either.

'I don't think we would have ever thought to have a talk with him about [that] before they happened,' the room said. 'Maybe a more assertive couple would have.' He said that after the wedding, the DJ they worked with 'kept reaching out after the wedding to have us leave a review,' but his wife 'explained' to him 'that if we left an honest review, it might not look great for his business.' 'We really liked the DJ, and the music really was well done, so we didn't want to do that to him,' he continued. 'He was very apologetic after that and actually offered a partial refund, but we declined.' Read the original article on People
