2022’s Skeleton Knight in Another World will have a second season.
The source material is the OVERLAP Novels light novel series written by Ennki Hakari and illustrated by Akira Sawano, which began in 2015 and has 10 volumes as of March 2022. Seven Seas describes the light novel’s first volume as:
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.
Season 1 was a Studio KAI and HORNETS co-production directed by Katsumi Ono (Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle, Symphogear XV) with Shigatsu Yoshikawa (Super Cub episode director) as assistant director, Takeshi Kikuchi (Ragnastrike Angels) as series composer, Toru Imanishi (Super Cub) as character designer, Hideki Inoue (Super Cub chief animation director) as sub-character designer, and Yoshihiro Nagamori (Beyblade Burst QuadDrive avatar designer) as monster designer.
The main cast included Tomoaki Maeno as the titular Skeleton Knight Arc, Fairouz Ai as the elf Ariane, Miyu Tomita as the beastman Chiyome, and Nene Hieda as the foxlike creature Ponta.
The light novels have inspired a manga adaptation by Akira Sawano.
