I first heard of Skeleton Knight in Another World when I was at a bookstore and saw Volume 1 of the LN series on one of the shelves. When I heard that very same LN series was going to have an anime adaptation I was naturally intrigued by it and decided to watch the whole season. Here are my thoughts regarding the anime. STORY 220https://safebooru.org//images/3748/ede6ff5444202fa020b2abb77c2047b828a65d3e.jpg A gamer falls asleep while playing an MMORPG and wakes up and finds himself in the world of that game as Arc his character who is a skeleton wearing knights armor. He decides to explore the world and eventually meets travel companions such as a spirit creature named Ponta a dark elf named Ariane and a ninja beastgirl named Chiyome. Ariane and Chiyome hire Arc to free the enslaved elves and beastpeople from the oppressive human empires. Majority of the later episodes involve the main cast rescuing them from the clutches of their captors. ART 220https://c.tenor.com/8Kd7R6Ivw60AAAAC/skeletonknightinanotherworldponta.gif Animation was decent for some parts such when the main characters are further away in distance they use CGI models but it wasnt that distracting. In fight scenes there were a few still frames. I suppose that Studio KAI wasnt given that high of a budget and had to deal with what they had. MUSIC https://www..com/watch?v=KtsvxCnJBLs I enjoyed the music especially the ending theme Bokura ga Orokadanante Dare ga Itta by DIALOGUE. The opening was sung by Pelle K a singer who is known for doing heavy rock covers of anime OPs. I believe this is the first original OP he has done for an anime series. Regarding the background music it was fitting for the high fantasy setting of the show. CHARACTERS 220https://safebooru.org//images/3838/d155fd60ef2a8e52745db5e716a68dfb5f1757e5.jpg The main cast was the highlight of the show. Arc is a bit goofy but he is also polite and willing to help those in need. Ariane is distrustful of humans due them enslaving her kind of course over time that changes when traveling with Arc. Ponta is basically just there to be the cute mascot of the show. Chiyome wasnt as fleshed out in this but hopefully if there ever is a second season we can see more of her character. The villains and monsters were mainly just there to thwarted easily by our heroes thats all I can really say about them. FINAL VERDICT 220https://c.tenor.com/ZmtGL4DHxm8AAAAC/gaikotsukishisamatadaimaisekaieodekakechuuariane.gif Is this anime a masterpiece? No. Is it awful? No. But it is an enjoyable high fantasy isekai that you can kick back and relax to. If thats your kind of thing then give this show a watch.
