Let's Take A Look At Skeleton Knight in Another World
Hi all and welcome to another ' Let's Take A Look ' post all about the awesome world of Anime.
So first off, this is needed as this series actually shocked me quite quickly within a few minutes of the first episode.
This series contains scenes and themes of Sexual Assault and unfortunately takes a a very light and nonchalant stance. This sadly for me ruined this series and I just skipped those scenes as they really weren't needed.
The series is called Skeleton Knight in Another World or Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekakechuu
Year of release: 2022
Aired: April 2022 to June 2022
Number of seasons: 1
Number of episodes: 12
Studio: Studio Kai, Hornets
Genre: Action, Fantasy, Adventure
Episode run time: 23 minutes per episode
Age rating: R 17+
My rating: So far 5/10, I like the story but the SA theme just ruins it for me.
The story starts with a poor soul who fell asleep while playing an online game. Upon waking up, he finds that he has woken up in said game and has been transformed into his in game character Arc.
Upon finding out that he is overpowered and heavily armoured he decides to make haste and get used to his new found body and skills.
This brings up an issue that he hadn't realised. His chosen avatar was a skeleton when he created his character. He ends up being worried that he will be killed on site by the citizens of this world. Arc decides that he is best off hiding his appearance and heads off to find something to do.
Arc settles on the idea of finding a town nearby with the hopes of becoming an adventurer. He heads off to the castle town of Luvierte, with the hope of joining the adventurers guild and making a ton of gold completing quests.
Arc's overpowered abilities allows him to complete the quests with ease and rack up some nice booty. His journey takes him to many different places, fighting, killing and looting various monsters along the way.
Overall the comedy value in Arc's character is what really saved this series for me and allowed me to continue watching it. Without this I would defiently have dropped the series in the first 2 episodes and never looked back. The humour is there to keep it going, I would just skip the SA scenes as they really add no value to the series.
The artwork and style is really good and clean. The character design is brillaint and leads to some really good moments of comedy. I actullly have really enjoyed it all, it just gets ruined with unneccesary scenes here and there.
The opening theme is pretty good, a good and upbeat song that sets the scene well. The video is also quiet funny. I get The Withcer vibes with the bath and drink scene 😅 Just a lot less fleshy.
The ending theme sadly for me doesn't match up to the feel of the series.
It just feels off, like it was chosen for something else but never used. The tune to the vocals just seem off and in a fight with each other. Really not sure on the ending song.

The images and concept of skeleton has caught my attention, haha in fact it reminds me of video games like golden axe, now I notice that it has sexual elements hahaha I never expected that but in my case if I want to see them 😂
The Isekai concept is not one of my favorites in anime stories, I recently saw an isekai and I wasn't hooked at all but I see much more potential in this one, I see that this anime is more to my taste especially for the skeleton idea 😃
The Isekai concept is well done. It's just a chilled version from a story view which is good,
Just let down in places.
Also golden axe is an amazing game!
Ok, seeing a skeleton as the main character catches my attention haha although apparently from what I read, it's not the kind of anime I would watch haha but that doesn't take away from the fact that this avatar caught my attention 😂
It does look good just from the avatar. Just it needs less perv
Cuando tu avatar es de verdad un esqueleto, pobre 😂. Se ve interesante la historia, no la había escuchado ni visto por ahí. Muy buena reseña.
When your avatar is really a skeleton, poor thing 😂. Looks interesting story, I hadn't heard or seen it around. Very nice review.
se ve interesante, me parece entretenida, buena reseña!
looks interesting, I find it entertaining, good review!
Plenty of humour which is what saved it.
although it could feel like another isekai, the truth managed to be entertaining and have good moments, it is not the best isekai but it makes the story bearable and at times very funny :D
It was enjoyable. Just unnecessary scenes ruined it for me
It's not one I can really recommend because of those scenes
I always confuse this anime with Overlord because both protagonists are skeletons. 😅
I haven't seen either of them, but this one caught my attention. It seems to be more of a fantasy anime, but it has its details that make it different from most.
Good review.
I have seen it often referred to as Overlord clone. Never seen it so I have no idea.
It's a good series for sure if you want something not serious.
