It’s uncertain whether heroes in the isekai genre are blessed or cursed at this point. Half of them die horrible deaths only minutes before being reincarnated into their dream realm, and those who stay alive are frequently tortured to misery beyond most people’s comprehension.
Consider Subaru, the protagonist of “Re: Zero,” whose video game-style save-point abilities often force him and his comrades to die horribly over and over until he figures out the perfect answer to their numerous problems.
Fortunately, isekai writers aren’t afraid to be creative with their characters’ tragedies. Studio Kai’s planned adaptation of Ennki Hakari’s light novel series, “Skeleton Knight in Another World,” is a nice example of this. The hero of “Skeleton Knight” faces a more subtle problem: as the title suggests, he doesn’t have a human face behind his helmet, and the goodly human inhabitants of this fantasy realm aren’t very fond of the undead.
This might create an intriguing dynamic for the series, which has sold more than 1.5 million copies since its debut in 2015. As a result, it’s hoped that “Skeleton Knight” characters and plot live up to the hype.
When is the release date for Skeleton Knight?
On April 17, 2021, the adaptation of Skeleton Knight in Another World into an anime series was announced. It’s been almost a year since the Skeleton Knight in Another World anime adaptation was announced, and now the Skeleton Knight’s official website has finally confirmed the release date and time for the anime series.
The anime adaption will premiere on AT-X Sun TV, BS11, and Tokyo MX on April 7, 2022. Every Thursday, new episodes will be released. If you live outside of Japan, Crunchyroll will have Skeleton Knight in Another World available.
Many people enjoyed the novel series, as well as the manga adaptation. As a result, we can assume that a large audience is anticipating the release of the anime adaptation.
What is the plot of Skeleton Knight?
In terms of the plot of “Skeleton Knight in Another World,” the fact that Ponta is more of a friend than a foe is actually extremely significant — and that’s because Arc doesn’t have many friends.
An unnamed gamer, who was formerly a regular human from the real world, wakes up as the custom character in his favorite RPG after falling asleep at his desk. Arc chooses to fight for the greater good despite his scary appearance as a skeleton. Arc’s good side, thankfully, brings him an excellent fortune. Arc is granted several privileges after saving two maidens from bandits. One of the women turns out to be royalty, and the privileges enable him to thrive in this strange society.
He then goes on to continue his adventures as a force for good, despite the fact that he is still obliged to hide his undead nature from the rest of the world. Our gamer then begins to explore around in the hopes of finding answers and a route back to his previous life.
