An version of the light novel serial by writer Yū Okano and illustrator Jaian , The Unwanted Undead Adventurer ’s main form of struggle is derived from what the human Rentt Faina transmigrate into after getting kill in a dungeon – a skeleton .

Such an unfortunate shift alone mechanically neutralise the pauperization for him to get isekai’d anywhere just based on the electronegative stereotype unremarkably associated with them , unless he were transport to a world of monsters .

On the surface , the irony that Rentt becomes the very thing that adventurers kill in his own cosmos of venturer already proves why it was right for him to stay . However , as Rentt begins to easily surpass what he could attain as a homo , the fact that the Zanzibar copal has him persist in the same environment with the same rules that limited him as a human more effectively underscore how this unwelcome transformation has in reality benefited him . This is especially the case because he was quite weak as a human – and now he no longer is .

Rentt ’s experiences in sequence 2 , however , really start enforcing this creative pick when a new venturer named Rina Rupaage enters the pic . The previous episode had already establish how stronger adventurer used to taunt him for being washy , so since a brand - young adventurer decides to help him despite him being a goliath underscore , the anime is more efficaciously conveying how kind she is .

Even though Rentt is able to disguise himself , the fact that he ’s also known in the area understandably complicates things when he and Rina need to find tax shelter in the city where Rentt once lick . Additionally , Rentt ’s site severely limits who he can trust on once he ’s there , so when he eventually ditch Rina for her own sake , the flight of the story is wholly drive by these restrictions , which are only bear to get even more complicated as the serial publication progresses .

The anime shows promise for more reasons than its subversive story

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer ’s overall delivery serves as further justification for the series not relying on the isekai literary genre . Once he reincarnates , the gum anime ’s alone take on skeletons immediately award a Seth of destination that viewers can depend on , impart Rentt ’s actions more of a aim rather than just having him question around aimlessly in a dungeon . In Rentt ’s world , skeletons are capable of evolving , which presents him with some contiguous chance that naturally drive the story forward .

Later , the introduction of Rina ’s character then ply a mode for the anime to not only extend beyond its limited setting , but to do so by create a touching friendship . Rina ’s unprecedented forgivingness and understanding of Rentt ’s predicament understandably involve Rentt profoundly , whereby his earnest response only increase the viewer ’s understanding for him . This soon exacerbates the overall blow everyone feels when he leaves Rina , up the anticipation for them to reconnect rather rather than later .

So , even though rebirth is the primary drive force out behindThe Unwanted Undead Adventurer , Crunchyroll is proving effortlessly that , while often associated with isekai , any sort of teleportation between world would just unnecessarily detract from its already compelling level .
