On hearing Tsuki to Laika's OP, I started looking for anime songs by the same artists and stumbled upon Chivalry of a Failed Knight's ED. I then remembered how banger of an OP it had, and it is pretty fucking good.



Watching the OP, I remembered the starting scenes of the series and realized it started with the old, forgotten cliché of "Walking in on a girl undressing" - something I haven't seen in quite a while.

Personally I was never a fan of that cliché, so I could not care less that it is forgotten. That being said, do you guys have any such clichés that you are glad are forgotten or want to be revived again?

As a side note, I have always found it hilarious how many titles this series has,
  • Chivalry of the Failed Knight
  • A Tale of Worst One
  • The Heroic Tales of the Failure Knight
  • Rakudai Kishi no Kyabarurii
  • Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan
  • Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry
I have heard the first, 2nd last and the last one being used the most on internet. Eiyuutan one is what it is in Japanese with Kyabarurii written as furigana. The third one is the literal translation and the fourth one is what the anime's title is in English.

      @AMissingLinguist I love tsuns. It is just that the good ones are so good and the bad ones are just so bad. I am unsure if tsunderes becoming rare is a good thing though.
      Kiss healing? Like CPR but it is a kiss or Magically transferring mana thingy? I havent seen that in a long time.

      Though I enjoyed watching tsunderes being tsun and sometimes dere, I'm glad they're not seen as often anymore. They definitely shouldn't come back, unless the story is made much better with tsunderes somehow.

      A cliché situation that could be revived is kiss healing, though I imagine this trope would be difficult to use for emotional effect.
