About Skeleton Knight in Another World

Skeleton Knight in Another World (original title: Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekakechuu) is a classic isekai anime (12 episodes, aired in 2022) based on the light novel series.

Quick synopsis: A Japanese gamer falls asleep while playing an online fantasy MMORPG and wakes up transported into the game world—trapped in the body of his overpowered skeleton knight character, Arc. Complete with his maxed-out stats, powerful equipment, and skeletal appearance hidden under armor, he sets out to explore this new reality.

Hoping for a chill, low-key life, Arc instead keeps stumbling into heroic situations: saving people from bandits, helping elves fight against slavery and discrimination, and dealing with corrupt nobles or monsters. He teams up with a strong dark elf warrior named Ariane and others, using his ridiculous strength (and occasional clumsiness) to right wrongs—often unintentionally becoming a legendary figure while trying to keep his true skeletal form a secret.

It's a lighthearted, action-packed isekai with OP protagonist vibes, comedy from misunderstandings, some fan service, and a focus on adventure rather than deep drama. Perfect if you enjoy relaxed "hero by accident" stories like Overlord or That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, but with a skeleton twist!
