| Wow. What a fucked up ending. Lil spider bitch. Her mom eats the main chara's soul then assumes her appearance. DAMN. Excellent animation during the "wandering the mansion" theme. Just fantastic. This was good work... not phenomenal. 7/10. |
  |
| wait what? what's all those random theories coming from? the spider fed the girl to the mother, and assumes the appearance to fit into the society. Note how the clothes just drags to the ground? it's to cover her spider legs. No weird supernatural things happening there, just the small spider one having a hair cut. The fact that the shopkeeper also keeps a youkai as servant/wife just make it so much more ironic. He warns about the guy getting lured by the youkai, but he has one himself as well. Speaking of which, what manga? The monster girls hentai one is totally different. |
| Nice short story. Such a heartwarming ending. Reminds me of Little Mermaid. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |

| Judging from the reactions here this anime certainly succeeded in lulling most of the viewers into a false sense of security with all the comedic bits, concealing the danger these mystical creatures pose for humans. Just like in most traditional tales about a human bonding with a supernatural creature, it's all fun and games until someone is threatening to break this connection. The young girl would have been better off if she had abandoned the man to his fate. |

| I felt like i just wasted my time watching this crap. sleeplesstown said: my body wasn't ready Something doesn't look right. Why is she tall one minute then short the next. |
| This is perfect! Brilliant! Genius! One. Of. The. Best. Anime. Ever. Goddam, my mind is blown! Great story and animation; it's action, drama, comedy all at once, but most importantly IT'S LIKE NOTHING THAT I'VE SEEN BEFORE! It's like a Mononoke (tv series) + cuteness of K-On + grossness of Gyo + a little shonen action perfectly mixed together. Now I need to remove something from my 5 favorite anime list to put Wasurenagumo there. |

I assumed that the spider girl merely took her place, but missed the detail regarding her clothes, so thanks for confirming that by pointing it out. There was absolutely no reason for her so have the exact same hair style, and only (unintentionally) served to mislead certain viewers (and that's where I believe all the theories are stemming from). Same with the irony presented with the shopkeeper. While some may have found those scenes effective, some found it cheap and unnecessary. |
| Ah the poor girl has been fed to mama spider, beware of cute spider girls they'll feed you to their mom! XD I've seen the last seconds of the ED and the transformation, I still think it's that little evil daughter spider and not the mother who came with him to the shop in the end. jeroz said: The fact that the shopkeeper also keeps a youkai as servant/wife just make it so much more ironic. He warns about the guy getting lured by the youkai, but he has one himself as well. That's why he was giving him a discount after all. LOL |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| I also believe that it is the little one in disguise in the end. Also some seem to disregard the scene on the net. Shortly before the girl falls - the little one had a larger and more mature appearance in this scene too (and she had a hand ^^). |
 |
| MINDBLOWN AND TROLLED. Everything was so great but the ending was so unacceptable that I find myself close-minded to such endings. lol Anyway, I find the last scenes before the ED to be thought-provoking for some reason. Definitely an interesting one-ep OVA. :) |
| I laughed so hard at that ending. But even so, it felt so perfect. Something about the lack of emotion in her sacrifice just ended the show so well. Loli spiders are adorable too. I want one, whether she eats me or not. |
   |
| Ending totally caught me off guard.. I feel sorry for girl at ending, to end like that. |
 |
| That was a horrible way to go for the young girl. Fuck spiders. |
 |
| The ending left me unsatisfied and I can't say I liked how the girl died. That said, the execution of her death scene was absolutely perfect. |
| Well.. Ehmm.. Shiiiit. I was fooled the whole time. 4/5. |
| hate spiders! nothing has changed,but i will say they got me wasn't expecting that. |
 |
| I, uh, liked it. Especially because of the humongous underwater mother spider and the silly fight against temptation. |
| It was good but ending was a head scratcher. The ED theme was cool |

| really good animation (mansion) good music ^^ and as for the story I liked it very much, it's all about giving in to temptation or not ( though he doesn't hesitate much....) To me there is not enough story like that, the ones that ends badly ( in a way ) just to show us never to expect a good ending each time ( it'd be boring anyway ) I too think that it's the small girl that took the appearance of Mizuki cause the mother has no real reason to come to the human world or maybe she'll marry the guy and raise her daughter with him ( this is also interesting). as for cutting her hair it is to blend into the society to me as for the appearance of the mother I think that if you look at it as an evil thing then it looks evil but if you look at it differently it appears otherwise. |
| Damn! Dat twist!! This was a really good watch. 8/10. |
| Never trust in a spider loli... |
| It's become the norm in anime that cute supernatural creatures get treated as children or girlfriends and everything turns out fine as long as you're nice to them and any fear is misplaced so I rather like seeing one that is as callous and dangerous as mythical monsters are in the actual tales. COUNTER-MOE. Definitely the best of the 2012 Young Animator Training Project films. The other three were a little dull. |
| Am I the only one who thinks the shop keeper guy lead the girl into a trap? |
| Mizuki T.T that damn loli spider fed her to her mom and took her place. paperstarxo said: Might have.Am I the only one who thinks the shop keeper guy lead the girl into a trap? |
| This just confirms my hate for spiders. Can't fool me with your moe moe shit, I know you're evil. Even during the comedic scenes. I actually thought those were the creepiest. It was an awesome story though. Love the fact that the old guy had a monster girl of his own so he can't judge the other one too much for what happened. And I'm not really sure what confused people about the ending, but everything definitely worked for me. |
| holy shit |
 |
| Wow.............. I did not see that coming. |

| I liked how the twist played out. Still wish I have could an equally satisfying twist without her death there. |
   |
| So either the stayed with him and took Mizuki's form, or Mizuki came back as another spider girl....I would have liked that cleared up. In any case, I did like how it played out. Many creatures from legend were predatory despite how they acted at times. |
 |
| I think it has a brilliant ending! Its unexpected, shocking and ironic at the same time. The Geppou guy tried to save Suzuri, despite the fact that he knew exactly how it will end, because he himself fell in the same trap with that slime-friend of his. This story is more of a fable then a fairy tale. And of course the animation of the movement of the characters is extraordinary and refreshing. Really hope it would be the new trend in the anime industry. |

COUNTER-MOE. Totally agree with these points, the ending is what made me like this short. A happy ending would be so boring. And as these guys said, it's refreshing to see a story showing that dealing with "monster girls" is a dangerous trip and not just some erotic fantasies or moe fairytales with happy endings for everyone. 8/10 |
| YO WHERE IS THE HORROR TAG IN THE GENRES WHAT THE FUCK. The latter half had crazy angles and creepy music... CHILLS. Anyway, that was very dynamic. It went from mild comedy to intense creepiness in a matter of minutes. It was done well. I would have scored this higher but my mind hurts from watching this.. 7/10 Lemonaded said: This just confirms my hate for spiders. Can't fool me with your moe moe shit, I know you're evil.

| Holy shit. Why would they do that?! |
 |
| I also think it should bear the "Horror" tag. It was definitely effective in this respect. |
| I definitely did not see that ending coming. ._.;;; |
 |
| That was... really creepy. Liked it. I think it deserve an ''horror'' tag, creeped me out more than a lot of them who bear that tag... I found it disturbing that he replaced the other girl by the spider, especially when we think about the fact that she saved him... The myth was well writen and moving. The comedy was also well balanced. ''So, he's a lolicon?'' made me laugh :P The ending was a bit random (the white thing behind the old man. |

| did not expect that end at all, but the follow up with the other book seller at the end was cool |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Aside from what happened to the girl, I'd say the ending was a happy one. |
| My god... wtf... was not expecting that kind of ending. Nice ova. |
| Ok the girl die and there is another monster >_> |

| Whao, hace tiempo que no me quedaba con cara de no creer lo que veía. Fue un gran final. Leyendo los comentarios, estoy llegando a una teoría. Shu podría ser la reencarnación del "Monje" que protegió a la Araña en el pasado. En el momento en el que Shu vió a la Araña viendo la Luna y "recordó" la imagen de la misma Araña en el pasado, su vida pasada tomó el control de Shu y quería acercarse a la Araña, pero se detuvo cuando la vió con esos ojos, como en el recuerdo donde estaba comiéndose a una persona en su casa. Cuando llegan a la bifurcación de caminos, creo que la parte del Monje le dice a dónde debe ir, por eso no sigue ninguno de los 2 caminos y comienza a subir. Logra tomar el control cuando ve a Mizuki lastimada. Tal vez recuerda todo lo que vivió como Monje en el pasado y acepta esos recuerdos y decide seguir viviendo con la Araña. Para mí, Mizuki murió cuando cayó de la telaraña, en ese momento me quedé mudo. La tarea de la Araña parece que era alimentar a su Madre. Creo que cuando Shu voltea y ve que Mizuki cayó, reacciona como reaccionó el Monje cuando vió a la Araña comiéndose a esa persona en su casa en el pasado, con esa mirada y esa risa, aunque no lo vemos en este episodio. Creo que la forma en la que toma su pata en ese momento tiene algo que ver con el Monje. Creo que la Araña tomara la forma de Mizuki, además de la secuencia final en el ED donde Mizuki se "convierte" en la Araña. |
