YMMV / Skeleton Knight in Another World

• Adorkable: Despite his intimidating appearance with and without his armor, Arc is a giant goofball who enjoys his OP status with childlike glee and geeks out over any fantasy element he witnesses, yet doesn't let his power or excitement go to his head and remains polite and courteous.
• Awesome Music: The OP courtesy of PelleK. Not to mention the ED, a thumping J-pop electronica song by DIALOGUE+.
• Broken Base: The rather notorious opening scene/chapter. Either a good way to show the darker aspects of the world, or a gratuitous and unnecessary scene applied for cheap shock factor. Also, unlike when Goblin Slayer did something similar, it's completely unconnected to the plot of either the episode or the series as a whole.
• Complete Monster:
  • Tryton du Diento is the repulsive marquis of Diento. Tasked with causing turmoil in Luvierte, Tryton orders Lauren Luvierte's assassination, resulting in her and her maid's near gang-rape and murder, and sets basilisks loose to terrorize the surrounding area. Tryton is also heavily involved in capturing elves, including children, and selling them on the slave market. When Arc Lalatoya and Ariane Glenys Maple arrive to put an end to his operations, he's in the midst of raping two captive elven women to show his son Udolan how to "handle" them.
  • Dakares Ciciay Karlon Rhoden Vetran is the second prince of the Rhoden Kingdom. Desiring the throne from his siblings, who he intends to murder, Dakares aligns himself with the Holy East Revlon Empire, helping to destabilize the land for their assistance in a coup. Tasking Tryton with causing turmoil in Luvierte, Dakares also participates in the elf and beast people slave trade, killing those who are deemed unsellable.
  • Fumba Soodu Rozombanya is an arrogant beast tamer in service to the Revlon Emperor. Disgusted at not being recognized by his own people for his supposed genius, Fumba gleefully sells his services for more bloodshed. Having innocents abducted to be fed to his monsters and throwing prostitutes to them when he's finished with them, Fumba is the man responsible for having kidnapped numerous missing elves that were experimented on or fed to his beasts. Unleashing a powerful Hydra, Fumba intends for it to devour an entire town while gleefully deciding he wishes to make Ariane into his woman.
• Fan Nickname: "Ainz" for Arc, due to the fact that, like Ainz Ooal Gown from Overlord (2012), he's a skeletal Isekai OP MC.
• Tear Jerker:
  • During episode 7 of the anime. Arc laments that his revival magic wasn't able to resurrect all of the members of Princess Yuriarna's bodyguards.
  Arc: (upon failing to revive a guard) The body's too badly damaged, for this poor guy.
  • Episode 8, while mixed with Nightmare Fuel. Arc's clear anger as he, Ariane, and Chiyome discover the bodies of the sick and injured Beastmen who were killed because they could not be sold. Arc is uncharacteristically furious and once he returns to Goemon's side, the pair unleash a devastating attack that reduces the slavers' market to a smoking crater.
