Equipped with the powerful weapons and armor of his avatar but stuck with its frightening skeletal appearance, Arc has to find a place for himself in this new, fantastical land. All his hopes for a quiet life are dashed when he crosses paths with a beautiful elven warrior, setting him on a journey full of conflict and adventure.

| i aint an isekai guy but i am a skeleton guy, i'll keep this on my radar |

Watched the pv. guys I'm so tired. It's a fkn isekai gamer whiteknighting a girl that's being sexually assaulted. The sexual assault is of course drawn in a titillating detailed way. In THE TRAILER. Sexual violence against women in your fantasy story? How inventive At this point I'm going to develop a violent hate against this genre and break out in an allergic rash at the mention of "..get transported to another world" |

| Oh, a pleasant surprise. I've read the manga version of this and enjoyed it quite a bit. The characters were all really likeable. The main characters is quite literally a white knight despite his skeletal appearance but also kind of a goof with the other characters often playing the straight man or woman. Will definitively watch it. |

| Well, i guess its time for another generic isekai. |
 |
| Is there any reason it's an isekai or it just has to be one, because nowadays you can't even flush without turd being transported to another world? |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| So, did someone just rip-off the Overlord with a warrior instead of a mage? @-lazyknight- Don't even try, man. This is the type of people who build their tastes not on what they like, but on what they don't like. |
 |
| I just don't understand. Why are there so many? How many anime with a Japanese guy being transported to a fantasy world with a harem of elves and kemono girls do you need to make? What is the appeal after seeing thirteen of them last year? And the year before!? The anime medium is just hollow now. There's nothing to watch if you're not lonely and sex-starved. |

There's plenty of shows every season that are nothing like what you're describing. No need to be hyperbolic. |

If you don't like them that's fine. |

| Oh boy, another generic, shitty isekai that uses some vaguely novel twist (in this case, the fact that he's a skeleton knight) to try and look more interesting than it actually is. Can already tell that this will be absolute garbage that isn't worth its existence, not least because the source material is licensed by Seven Seas in the west and their prerogative is to license the shittiest isekais that no one else wants. |
| There are quite a lot of good and enjoyable, to actually outstanding Isekai out here, but can also say most there is a lot of trash garbage in recent years. I have to wonder, when will the bubble burst? This lack of creativity and wanting to follow trends that are beaten to the dust by now does NOT help the creative industry. |
 |
| yeah ... that one doesn't seem interesting tbh. |
 |
| Oh hell yeah, one isekai a day keeps the shit taste away yeshhhh |
| bruh |
| The LN is already over with open ending. I wonder if they'll cover the whole 8 books. |
| Apart from those CGI movements the trailer looks quite good, great music. If this is a bit like Overlord but with a "friendlier" main character, I might really enjoy this. |
| not this. it's always the novel that I drop out getting the anime adaptation treatment |
