@traed I feel like you’ve never seen an Asian flying noodle.

| Well, the whole premise is like Solo leveling but the scenario and world building is way better/ more interesting than Solo Leveling thus far lolz No wimpy low self esteem mc suddenly turns edgy op, no typical team mistreating you cuz you're weak, no edgy mc at brink of death so he awaken some bs and becomes op. This show avoid a lot of those generic boring tropes. Instead we get a very Grimgar vibe anime which is quite a breath of fresh air, with decent production quality / art / music. But ofc its' not Mahwa/ KR so people gonna rate this down to 7.xx or even lower lolz. The usual Mal thing. |
| Seems like every Skeleton MC manga I've read years ago are all slowly becoming animes lol. First Overlord, then Skeleton Knight in Another World and now Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha. Just need Skeleton Soldier Couldn't Protect The Dungeon now to complete the whole shebang. On the episode itself though, I felt it was okay. A little slow but gives a nice backstory that didn't felt rushed and made me care for the guy a little. I forgot what the whole story was about beyond the beginning though so watching with some hope its good. |

| Hey that was pretty good. I really liked it. Rentt is a pretty likeable MC so it's easy to root for him. I think I'm in love with the researcher friend.... goddamn. That voice practice at the end lol. |
| not interesting at all |
| One does not challenge a dragon unless one is either stupid or knows something the dragon doesn't. Though being defleshed is better than being dead. Its cool that the mc also needs to get used to a new combat style now that he's nothing but bones now and see him adapt to his new form. Though not being able to sleep or eat sure takes the fun out of life. That scene where he become a ghoul sure was fun. But even as a ghoul he's going to need a good disguise if he wants to get into town. Overall a solid opening ep that featured a good balance of lore expansion and action. I especially liked how the series takes great pains to ensure that we are following whats happening as well. The OST was surprisingly grand though. |

| @Ventus_S I completely agree, even out of curiosity I checked some anime lists of those who write that this is bad or not interesting to see how did they rate Solo Leveling and guess what? This is not interesting but Solo leveling after first ep. is already 9😂😂 |

| An exposition heavy dungeon exploring fantasy where the MC gets turned into an undead creature via dragon dinner, with the ability to evolve and get stronger as he farms other monsters. It's a premise which I unabashedly enjoy if it's interesting enough. Decent start, even if the "show, don't tell" crowd are crying about the execution. |
I was expecting a lot from this anime, but the first episode was a bit boring. I hope it gets better in the next episodes. |

Agreed. I'm up to date with the entire series manga and LN so I can answer just about any question. I will mention that the reason why there's a lot more exposition about the guild, monsters, and dungeons that a lot of critics bash as "common knowledge", is because they actually serve major story and lore purposes rather than just window dressing for the series.

| @doomrider7 Even as a literacy device, I don't mind it if I find it interesting or engaging, which I did in this case. |
| ROFL This dude's personality reminds me of "Brook from One Piece" that keeps on saying things and then realizing he's a skeleton. LOL BTW, I like Lorraine's look and design, she looks really hawt. |

| @WatchTillTandava Yes and Yes God of High School was highly rated too until the last few episodes completely flop due to way too much plot skip and insane pacing. Typically most Manhwa series start with 8.xx until the adaptation gone to shit. |
| I love this type of anime with dungeon monsters |

| I quite liked this start. MC is very... basic? But at the same time he is not another kid and seems pretty cool. Using his narration through whole episode worked very well for storytelling imo. It seems to be on slower side too, which I appreciate. Not sure about the story itself: the idea of him working to get some kind of body is a nice idea, but I think we will need more than that. Depending on where the story goes, this might turn out to be pretty good anime. |
| Pretty good start. I’m amused the bgm is similar to Beethoven’s 7th. |
| I'm pretty much watching every anime this season, and this was one of the few I decided to skip out on; didn't really vibe with having a skeleton main character. But heard some good things from these first few episodes, and look at that, he upgrades to a ghoul in the very first one. And besides that, it seems to be a nice slow anime; the ED accentuates that at least. Glad I picked it up; his could be really good. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| at least it didn't take him more than this episode before he achieved his ghoul status hehehe |

| Solo leveling but he becomes a skeleton instead of a player 🙃 |
| I started watching this on a whim (I watch nearly all the fantasy shows this season) but this is actually pretty good! It reminds me of Jobless Reincarnation, or Grimgar. Everything just feels "proper" and down to earth, as far as you can say that about a fantasy show where you turn into a skeleton. Loved the dragon design, it reminds me off angels from evangelion. |

| Lol, He died and is alive as a skeleton. Now He's taking to the next level where got a skin XD |

| Was Ready To Drop This After This One But Last 2 Minutes Were Amusing. |
| 10 years and he's still bronze rank? Maybe this really is his time. The whole thing reminds me of solo leveling though. |
 |
| A great first episode. I love the dungeon diving and evolving trope. You always get some pretty good introspective moments that mesh well with the action on the screen. The VA did a nice job with that as Rentt! |
 |
| Rewatching this underrated Anime again because the English Dub came out. I glad they made good choices for the English Voice Acting. But what struck me the most about this first episode, was the music soundtrack which compliments the scenes. The anime soundtrack has diversity of music, Classical / Middle-Ages / Celtic (etc), in a well written score. At the 18 Minute mark, the song "Humble Efforts" quietly plays with these beautiful horns in a Classical Beethoven style, as he speaks about the limits he had as a human adventurer, but then this fades into the song "Courageous Stance" with this Classical Marching sequence, as he speaks about his goals to achieve the highest rank. I looked up the Original Soundtrack, it quite impressive. I hope this anime get more recognition and has a second season, hopefully with this same music team. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
