| This anime is practically over. Only one episode remaining and we practically know next to nothing about the world as it either was delegated to be "mystery" or it was "subverted". Some questions anime raised were never answered, and probably never going to be, as even in the best-case scenario a sequel for this anime is a year or so away. Story advancement is practically minimal, and the only good thing this anime did it allowed LN readers to act smug for two seasons over things that aren't ever going to be shown. I can't wait for the next episode. We will see what this fuss was about, if anything. |

| Now, as my favorite character Sophia shows off her skills, I expected I'll love this episode. Naive, was I... Again, forget about the crap CGI, scene composition and drunk angles. Forget about the desert battlefield out of nowhere... Wtf are they doing with the character impressions? If you give every OP character a smug, cocky attitude, whether it's from the human reincarnations' perspective or not, they just appear as generic as most of the hero faction. Sophia was not supposed to talk so tauntingly (hello, smugface!); she was actually bored with the entire 'show' Shun & Co put up. Her remarks were of a disinterested person, and that was what unnerved the opposition so much. In fact, the development from that to "You should have gone for the head" moment was a brilliant way to depict a one-sided fight. Sigh. I don't think at all that I like this adaptation. Hopefully it draws in more potential readers, which might be it's goal. But I think it's a waste to squander a chance to rightfully depict one of the best non-orthodox isekai onscreen. |

groudonvert said: If we only had Kumoko side you would have even less informations about the world. The manga is at the same point, but he cut every non-Kumoko POV that gives informations about both the world and the story. Until now it was only the prologue (that will finish next episode), the real story begins after that. We are in episode 23 out of 24. This is not a prologue, this is the entire show bar the final scene. A stupid shounen logic justifying stupid shounen protagonist. There aren't going to be 500 episodes. |

| One more episode without Kumoko (without spider Kumoko anyway..) :/ The lady in white & pink finally spoke (a little) but I couldn't discern if it was Aoi Yuuki's voice, which was clearly by design. I wonder which of the three girls has a beef with Potimas. Potimas said "persistent little girl", not "girls". So is it Kumoko, is it Ariel or is it Sophia? In the past Kumoko protected Sophia from being kidnapped (and having her parents killed) and Potimas thought that Kumoko did this under Ariel's orders. As we all know Kumoko did this on her own. I think that's precisely when the "feud" between Potimas (and by extension the elves) and "the persistent girl" and her allies started. Sophia's rescue is almost certainly the event that ties everything together, in particular the past and present events. I think Potimas' assumed "persistent girl" is Ariel, because Potimas probably still thinks (despite the 14 - 15 years that have passed) that she has wanted to take on him from that time. But the actual "persistent girl", the kind of secret driving force behind the feud, is Kumoko. Who was involved at first to protect Sophia and then realized that the Elves are a threat to this world in general (based on her Taboo Level 10 knowledge). What I do not (yet) know is if Ariel is even, er, Ariel at the present time or if Kumoko's Body-chan has fully taken over. If that turns out to be the case in the present time the girls are basically two, not three. As for the Mecha machines the Elves probably made them by milking the reincarnated students they abducted of all they knew, perhaps in secret with magic spells. |

| Whaaaaaaaaat... Why the fuck do elves have a modern command center... and mechas?!!!!!! Unlike others I'm not a Shun hater but my God, he really got on my nerves today. How the fuck you go from realizing you were risking your friends life in vain to fuck it, let's do it. At least it was good to see him beat Hugo and see how this one realized he was just a puppet... can he die already though? Not that I didn't already have my doubts about the elves but I think I'm starting to believe more and more in the demon lord. I want Sophia to step on me xD. Ayana Taketatsu's voice is so alluring. |
groudonvert said: As I told you before, it's a Seinen, not a Shonen. I don't know if there will be a season 2, but what I know is that there enough contents for at least 3 seasons of 24 episodes. Did you really think that the anime will be over with that much informations given in the last episodes (specially this one) ? Oh, yes, very mature show. *rolling eyes* Did you watch the same show? They can't afford make 24 episodes properly. You really think they will adapt all the novel if they can't handle even a portion of it. |

| Pretty good episode story wise. Too bad the animation is still so bad. I really hope they have reserved half their budget for the last episode or would be even madder at the studio - who takes A rank source material and give it that sort of treatment? And it is not like that`s their first offence... -.- As for the people dropping because of some mecha... you know there are ton of animes that started fantasy but turned out mind blowing sci fi. In the case of kumo desu it was actually hinted at multiple occasions even within the anime that that is the case e.g. Kumoko's detection skill looking like the matrix, D dropping phone in the middle of no where and hinting that she programed the world, the Taboo flashbacks, a forking rpg voice announcing level ups.. Come on, this is one more drop in a very big bucket at this point. |
| why they do this... the season is almost over and there is little to no hype for the last episode....... damn |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| A welcome arrival of some mechs, and just in time for the finale next week too! I doubt they will make a huge impact, but it's still cool non-the-less. |
| WN reader here. Obviously not going to drop spoilers, just to say that I fully agree with people who are dissatisfied with the adaptation and the way the human side of the story was executed (not the ones who dislike the human side, full stop; that's a major part of the story and it gets very satisfying when the timelines converge). It really makes little sense that they spent all these episodes stretching out the battle between Shun and Hugo, especially when they struggled to animate any of it with a minimum level of decency, only to cramp 2-3 episodes worth of story into the last episode, before the overall story takes a natural turn and we get a "conclusion" to Kumoko's arc. And yes, don't get me started on how the FOREST of the elf village turned into a desert... It's a real shame because the WN/LN is absolutely brilliant, and I really hope to see a (proper) adaptation of Sophia's and Wrath's stories some day. |
| As a standalone episode, this episode did a great job. |

groudonvert said: I don't know, the manga is a Seinen, do you think Kumoko's part is a mature show ? I don't care about the animation, they did what they did but thanks to them I discovered a great story. Much greater than you think it is. Of course, it is shounen. Didn't you noticed 13+ rating. Unless you argue that shounen is a genre and not an age category. If you claimed that shounen is actually a genre, then I would have a harder time classifying it with protagonist being female and spider, but ... that point is moot now, it's not her show anymore. |

Shimura27 said: hey you forget what'a entertaining in this episode. 1. Friendship Power doesn't work here. 2. Elf can summon some mechas. 3. Reveal Shun best friend that he's Wrath on Demon Side. Also how stronger Sophia and how weaker Hero and his party in the end. Shun isn't dead. His harem isn't dead. Smug LN readers hype how cool he is, which means he isn't going to die in the future either. Mechas are a testament to bad worldbuilding where everything is a "mystery" and thus it is entirely random what will happen next. Being utterly random isn't a "mystery" |

| I can't really take these past couple of episodes seriously lol. CGI has been getting worse. Lines are way to cringey. One more epsidoe I guess |
| These dumb human have ruined a show that should be only for my spider, it's always the same the male leads are the worst 😡😡😡 |

groudonvert said: About mecha, can we talk about the smartphone used by D ? Even Güliedistodiez is not surprised to see that. And your assumption about random robot stuff probably comes that you thought it was a fantasy world. And guess what ? It's not a fantasy world and never were. Of course, it is not fantasy. Who knows what may happen next. Did you watch the anime about the spider? You thought Kumuko is protagonist? GOTCHA! It' not about Spider, it's about a generic harem protagonist. The power of friendship doesn't work? GOTCHA! Shun is unkillable and is constantly praised as the main story. You thought it is a fantasy? GOTHA! It now has mecha. See. It's a MYSTERY! *roll eyes* |

| Kumo is literally the reason why I'm watching and she's been gone for the most part already, the political intrigue was fine but I literally don't give a f about the other chars, and the CGI I feel like is getting even worst. Do they plan on killing this series or something? I feel like it's really a good story but what the hell is the studio doing rn. |
| This episode was a real snooze for me and i don't know why. I kept checking to how much time there was left in the episode and i haven't been that way with the rest of the episodes. Again the quality is noticably different and everything is just all super confusing. The spider wasn't in it either. If i have to be honest i really don't care about the rest of the other carnations either. I just really don't like them as characters. To see them get a whole episode. Man. One episode left though. Hoping something end up making sense and we get a good conlusion because we are really in the midst of things. |

Aside from the terrible animation the studio is doing a pretty decent job of following the source material (the Ln). There are 14 volumes as of now and guess what? There's alot more going on in this series than just a spider leveling up |
Maruseru93 said: sophia and wrath are more cringy losers in the old world and reborn as craty powerfull monster edgelords in new world acting all high and mighty and looking down on the other reincarnations so cocky There's no need for me to argue with you. I'm confident and comfortable in my opinion that Shun & Co. are annoying, unlikeable, far too ignorant and yes, I said it CRINGE. But you're entitled to your opinion. I won't deny that Sophia's attitude was unbecoming as well tho. But I know who is worse. |
