The first teaser for the anime adaptation of The Unwanted Undead Adventurer is here, and the spooky villain might be the hero.
Yū Okano’s Nozomanu Fushi no Bōkensha light novel series takes an also-run adventurer, kills him, and brings him back as a skeleton warrior. The video gives us some snapshots mixed in with the Japanese title cards but hit the subtitles button on YouTube, and you’ll get the translation.
CONNECT are running the project with Bukuman‘s Noriaki Akitaya as the director. Overlord‘s Yukie Sugawara is in charge of scripts, while Takao Sano of The Honor Student at Magic High School leads on character design.
Rentt Faina, our dead but not gone hero, is voiced by Ryōta Suzuki, who played Yū Ishigami in Kaguya-sama: Love is War.
J-Novel Club have the English book license and the series is in Amazon. They say;
Rentt Faina, a twenty-five-year-old adventurer, has been hacking away at monsters for a decade. However, without much talent for the job, Rentt finds himself stuck hunting slimes and goblins for meager amounts of coin every day. Little does he know, all this is about to change when he comes across a seemingly undiscovered path in the Water Moon Dungeon.
What awaits him at the end of the path, however, is neither treasure nor riches, but a legendary dragon that wastes no time swallowing him whole! Waking up a short time later, Rentt finds himself not quite dead, but not very alive either— He is nothing more than a pile of bones! Armed with nothing but his trusty sword, tool belt, and ghoulish new looks, Rentt sets off on his quest as a newly reborn skeleton to achieve Existential Evolution, hoping to one day return to civilization with a more human form.
Will Rentt succeed, or will the dungeon consume him for the rest of his un-death…?
While Unwanted Undead’s manga isn’t in the Prime Day sales these manga are.
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer is due to air next year.
