Skeleton Knight in Another World: More Than an Overlord Clone
Of all the great shows that aired during the Spring season of anime, this was the one I chose to review. Sorry, Spy X Family and Kaguya-sama season three. I’ll get to you once I’m done sorting out the trash. The isekai genre is like a sponge. One that Japan has squeezed so tightly for…
