Back in 2019, the folks at Seven Seas Entertainment announced a new acquisition with the pickup in digital and print for the Skeleton Knight in Another World light novels and manga by Ennki Hakari, KeG, and Akira Sawano. That’s going to pay off later as the property has gotten the nod to be adapted into an anime TV series. With no date set, we have a slew of details along with the first promotional video and the first key visual to the right.
The project has set Katsumi Ono to direct it based on the series composition by Takeshi Kikuchi. Toru Imanishi is on board for the character designs with Studio KAI and HORNETS handling the animation production.
The Japanese cast includes:
- Tomoaki Maeno as Arc
- Fairouz Ai as Ariana
- Nene Hieda as Ponta

Plot Concept: One day, a gamer played video games until he fell asleep…and when he woke up, he found himself in the game world–as a skeleton! 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.
