Not too sweet romance. Somehow it's both a "mature/grown-up" & "coming-of-age" story. The characters are interesting and three-dimensional with things to like, dislike & not fully understand about them. I didn't read the source material & despite my fear of love triangles I really enjoyed the story.

The animation is absolutely beautiful, especially the hair, facial expressions, and body language. The lighting, shading, movement, well really overall everything in my humble opinion it's quite visually striking and smooth.

The soundtrack is limited, but that might count in its favor as one continues to watch the music ques create an ... expected atmosphere. I enjoyed the music in the show. I found the Chinese voice-acting to be really enjoyable. The voices were beautiful & carried the right amount of emotion & nuance.

Even though the story is mainly told from the Male Lead's perspective I'd classify this as a josei. Quite a non-cliché romance story with some light psychological twists and turns. I'd recommend it to watchers who like romance or even slice-of-life. Even if you don't like romance it's a good story about the challenges of starting a new beginning in life.

Warning: No ecchi, no harem, no oppais. It's quite a wholesome show with no erotic references. If you dislike love triangles you might still enjoy this, but be warned many girls like one kind of indecisive unremarkable guy.

Fun, relaxing, wholesome & romantic. Anyone (guys & girls) looking for a relaxed ~no-anxiety~ romance story, give this a chance!
I've seen this anime get a lot of hate, this is mainly from social justice warriors who can't accept that fiction is sometimes there to make someone feel happy & fluffy even if it isn't realistic. It's a healing school-life romance anime.

The episodes are a bit slow-paced but nice. The point of this genre of anime is not really the plot, but it does have relationship & character development. The character backstories are not overly dark or traumatic, but that's okay, some ... people deal differently with things & it doesn't need to be a drastic thing to make the character get hurt by it. I like how their feelings & romance develop slowly. Some girls actually do like taking care of people even if it's for self-satisfaction. The ML's actions are a bit unbelievable at times, seeing how pure or gentlemanly he is, but I appreciate that in this anime since it's so rare.

The animation & art is really pretty & smooth, especially the eyes & light effects.
The background music fits well in every scene, though not very memorable.

All my friends enjoyed this anime as well, so I don't think I'm being too biased. If you like iyashikei or school romance I'm pretty sure you'll like this. If you're into full equality of gender roles, 100% realistic trash human personalities, annoyingly stereotypical abuse of male characters, over-sexualisation of female characters, harem or ecchi then this show is probably not for you ^^.

Skeleton Knight is an enjoyable isekai with a ridiculously OP MC that hardly ever faces hardships. Unless you're a social justice warrior feminist on a high horse or a tunnel-visioned sheep, you'll probably enjoy this. It has very little in common with other shows that happen to have a skeleton mc, except for being an isekai.

The story is quite relaxed and adventure along the way is more important than the mostly forgotten main objective - which does not feature in the first season really. The music is fun and fitting to the overall feel of the anime. The animation and art felt ... quite smooth and pleasing though not exceptional (no weird CGI luckily). The characters that are introduced are entertaining and don't undergo much development - bad guys are bad and good guys are good - almost no "grey" characters.

Some snowflakes might have a problem with how the anime portrays the seriousness of the corruption of morals that a skeleton saves humans from so if you're a sensitive viewer that can't appreciate themes and satire go watch mew mew power or something.

If you like the isekai genre this is a good watch. The characters are mature (mostly) and the story is enjoyable. There is some tragic backstory info but not too much. It has a bit out of place comedy and fan service, but it's enough to be able to endure. It has a typical enjoyable plot with a "to-be-continued so read the source material cause no season 2" type ending. The upbeat opening song doesn't match with the darker aspects of the story at all but it's catchy in its own way. If you enjoy overpowered MCs and ridiculous ... anime logic with a splash of serious like attempted rape and cannibalism go ahead and watch it. Overall a good way to waste time. It has too many biased bad reviews so just ignore those and give it a try.
