The Unwanted Undead Adventurer is getting a second season. A commemoration visual has been released with the announcement.
The first season premiered in January of this year. The anime is based on the OVERLAP Novels fantasy light novel series written by Yuu Okano and illustrated by Jaian, which began publication in 2017 and has 13 volumes as of December 2023. J Novel Club describes the plot as:
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 Labyrinth of the Moon’s Reflection. 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 labyrinth consume him for the rest of his un-death…?
Season 1 was directed by Noriaki Akitaya (Ayakashi Triangle) at CONNECT with Yukie Sugawara (Overlord IV) as series composer and Takao Sano (The Honor Student at Magic High School co-character designer) as character designer. Its cast included Ryota Suzuki as Rentt Faina, Mikako Komatsu as Lorraine Vivie, Ikumi Hasegawa as Sheila Ibarss, and Sayumi Suzushiro as Rina Rupaage.
The light novels have a manga adaptation by Haiji Nakasone.
