The context of my understanding is that we've seen too many Isekai stories do this the same time over, but depending on the series' stature, they can either pass or fail to contravene back to the origin story of why they're here in the first place. Enri Hakari however, plays this game differently with Arc being the stereotypical Isekai-ed player whom is like your stereotypical simple background NPC in an RPG with no backstory or whatever, and only serving as a guide to progress the story that he's been in, thus letting the story weave itself with actions done.

Normally in an Isekai series like Tsukimichi or even Overlord for that matter, the MC has a purpose of why he/she's been transported to another world because of reasons unexplanable that they have to find the answers for themselves, while gaining allies and crushing enemies along the way to get to the desired answers that they've been looking for. And this is where lots of people have many issues with this show, and let me address these issues in distinct detail.Īrc for a OP MC, he's just like Ainz when comparing against his true skeletal nature in the fantasy-like world, but yet doesn't have enough personality to plan and think of his journey in the fantasy world he's been Isekai-ed to, and this has to work in a two-fold way: purpose and motivation. Givem by the source material's title, one would've led to believe that this is also the influence derivative of Kei Azumi's Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu a.k.a Tsukimichi (focusing on the "Isekai e Odekakechuu" portion) since that source material also came out on Syosetu much earlier than this series (2012, as compared to Gaikotsu Kishi-sama in 2014), so it's very clear that Enri Hakari had clearly thought this through for his lone work to be a copy-paste of similar works like those mentioned, but that's where the similarities end for nothing more than just a passing resemblance.


The minority (like myself) that likes this show for all of its flaws, yet somehow "choose to believe" that we would get an alternate Ainz Ooal Gown-like skeletal character that displays similar themes to the former and being self-aware that everything "falls into place" quite nicely for his progression like a typical RPG character in a world so vast that he's able to do things on his own.

The overt haters whom feel that everything done in this show gets a free pass, from the unnecessary and over-the-top rape to the simple-minded run-of-the-mill standard OP MC that doesn't question his very own existence of why he's literally Isekai-ed to begin with, only to know that this is his starting point and so thus says the story of his adventures in another world. It must be said that there're two camps in this one: was the first to do this (well, technically it is through anime). And yes, I will admit that Overlord (that has Season 4 coming up next season) plays a huge part in novelist Enki Hakari's only derivative work that is this show, while actually playing the "goblin rape game" much earlier than Goblin Slayer, and the plot to Gaikotsu Kishi-sama a.k.a Skeleton Knight is simply just that. Looks like I have to play the Devil's Advocate in this one since everyone HATES this to oblivion.ĪYEEE BONE ISEKAI DADDY IS BACK.yet again, not like so, that many people are hating this the way that Goblin Slayer is much maligned from the get-go.
