The Unwanted Undead Adventurer

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer is a dark fantasy anime based on the light novel series by Yu Okano and Jaian. The story follows Rentt Faina, a 25-year-old adventurer who has been hunting monsters for a decade without much success. One day, he ventures into a hidden path in the Water Moon Dungeon, hoping to find some treasure, but instead he encounters a legendary dragon that devours him alive. However, instead of dying, Rentt is reborn as a skeleton, one of the lowest forms of undead. With his new body and abilities, Rentt decides to continue his quest as an adventurer, aiming to achieve Existential Evolution, a mysterious phenomenon that allows undead to regain their humanity. Along the way, he meets various friends and foes, both human and non-human, and uncovers the secrets of the dungeon and the world.

The anime is a faithful and engaging adaptation of the novel, with a complex and intriguing plot.
