Synopsis

Rentt Faina, a 25-year-old adventurer, has been hacking away at monsters for a decade. Without much talent for the job, Rentt finds himself stuck hunting slimes and goblins for meager amounts of coin every day. Little does he know, all this is about to change when he comes across a seemingly undiscovered path in the Water Moon Dungeon.

What awaits him at the end of the path, however, is neither treasure nor riches, but a legendary dragon that wastes no time swallowing him whole! Waking up a short time later, Rentt finds himself not quite dead, but not very alive either―He is nothing more than a pile of bones! Armed with nothing but his trusty sword, tool belt, and ghoulish new looks, Rentt sets off on his quest as a newly reborn skeleton to achieve Existential Evolution, hoping to one day return to civilization with a more human form.

Will Rentt succeed, or will the dungeon consume him for the rest of his un-death...?

Took me by surprise as I haven't expected anything and believe that the title picture of the show is extremely underwhelming.
We had things like "skeleton knights" who hide their identities, that's not a new concept but the way MC becomes one and has to deal with the fact other actually know him is still rather fresh.
It also works with him evolving over time which is a thing Kumo desu ga played around a LOT. This story isn't that in depth but concealment is the main point for MC not the evolutions themselves.
MC isn't a meathead which is as usual a major plus for any show ...

Mixed Feelings
The premise is good, but the execution here is disappointing. An adventurer becomes an undead monster and has to figure out how to adapt. Nice idea, and lots of potential for interesting moments and development, but the show does little with it. The main character has no personality, and is painfully boring. Typical "clueless MC" type hero. The side characters are not any more interesting or with much more personality. MC is seemingly unaffected by his condition, going about his same life as before, except with more clothes to cover his body, and more strength to do his adventurer tasks.

Not recommended unless you want a ...

Great premise and huge potential for a great story that quickly turns into garbage writing and kids show. 
It had a good base recipe for an interesting story: 
A good,hardworking, likeable adventurer who, despite all of his effort, cannot move past the limitations of his body.  gets killed and finds himself to become a monster while retaining seemingly intact consciousness, personality, and memories. All while having a mad scolar/mage/love interest who is willing to hide and help him stay human on the inside.

It had no isekai BS, no harem. No stupid, silly jokes, and good art to boot. 

It explores the themes of : The meaning of humanity, ...
