Plots(1)
When Arc wakes up, he discovers that he has been transported to another world in the body of the character he was playing in an MMO. Looking like a suit of armor on the outside and a skeleton on the inside, he is the Skeleton Knight. If his identity is discovered, he could be mistaken for a monster and become a target! Arc decides to spend his time as a mercenary so as not to attract attention to himself. However, he's not the kind of man who can stand idly by when he witnesses evil acts take place right before his eyes! (Crunchyroll)

Let’s be honest, there’s nothing groundbreaking about this show. Those who see it as a cross between Overlord and Goblin Slayer are right for the most part. However, what makes this a great show in my view is the amount of fun Arc is having during his adventure. The hero of the story is an honest, valiant, and incredibly likable guy who takes unadulterated joy in every job well done and is generally glad to be there and enjoys every (even the smallest) fantasy surprise he encounters along the way. It's hardly a secret that when you see someone who is having fun and really enjoying themselves, you'll probably enjoy watching them too. Joy and enthusiasm are contagious. I not only liked the main character, but his whole crew as well. Some of the dialogue was quite hilarious, so, for example, you could say that the local elves were actually from Canada. I even like the mascot, Ponta, and the way the show was able to sell her to me. I’d even consider buying a Ponta plush toy if I saw it somewhere. The last episode and the final battle of the giant monsters seemed pretty epic and interesting, and it looked very nice animation-wise. Sure, the series has a lot of flaws. The story may not be very strong at the moment, but it definitely has the potential to be fleshed out thanks to all the plotting in the background. Most of the villains are poorly written. They’re just ordinary creeps with the same quality as the goblins I mentioned earlier. The repetitive rescuing of damsels in distress feels just as cheesy at times. What made me enjoy the show was the overall atmosphere and energy, mainly owing to the main character, and the fact that everything feels like a real adventure told with passion and a sense of humor. 7/10
