Directed by Noriaki Akitaya and written by Yukie Sugawara, the anime series lead cast will feature Ryōta Suzuki giving the voice of Rentt’s character, a monster slayer turned into a pile of bones; Mikako Komatsu giving the voice of Lorraine Vivie, a high-level magician, Ikumi Hasegawa giving the voice for Sheila Ibarss’s role, and Sayumi Suzushiro giving the voice for Rina’s character.

What to Expect?
The upcoming anime titled “The Unwanted Undead Adventurer” primarily focuses on Rentt Faina, a 25-year-old monster slayer who has spent his prime years slaying numerous monsters, even though he isn’t very good at his job. He transforms into a pile of bones.
The anime’s focus will be on Rentt’s journey to find his way back into the world of living after he remains stuck between the worlds of living and dead following his interaction with a dragon that ends with him getting swallowed.
Rentt is an unskilled adventurer who has been stuck at the Bronze rank for more than 10 years but manages to make a living through scrapes he earns after slaying lowly monsters like goblins. Rnett’s life takes a turn when he goes to explore Moon’s Reflection Labyrinth and stumbles into a tunnel.
He decides to explore alone in hopes of finding weapons and treasure, but instead, he is led into a dragon’s lair. Well, as everyone knows, this leads to the dragon devouring him, but he is resurrected as an undead skeleton after it absorbs Rentt’s spirit energy, and Rnett realizes that the monster becomes powerful by absorbing spirit energy.
Rentt embarks on a singular journey, armed with his tool belt and sword, going through a process of existential evolution that allows him to become a human again.
The anime has a humorous twist as Rentt learns to speak and walk again after transforming into a ghoul following his killing of several goblins and slime while realizing that he is becoming stronger with every kill.
