LOVED IT!


It sucks how the niche anime's, like this, are constantly down voted to barely even being visible on MAL. They need to make a new category for "isekai, reborn, or exploring new world" types of anime. I believe AOT is popular because it has some of those themes of exploring a new world. I don't know why, but I can accept the flaws of these types of anime's much easier. Unlike an anime like "Talentless Nana" where the protagonist is a brainwashed little girl pretending to be a psychic that can read minds; but every person she meets is a complete moron believing in her super powers, or they are murderers (knows she is lying, but doesn't reveal her lies cause it helps them murder more).

Example of Talentless Nana dialog:
Boy#1, "Hey, i know, why don't have Nana use her mind reading ability to find the mass murderer."
Nana, "Uhm, I can't do that."
Boy#2 punches boy#1 in the face, "Don't be a fucking douche! We can't force her to use her abilities if she doesn't want to."
Boy#1, "Ok, hows about we use the reanimate ability to have the dead person tell us who murdered him."
Nana, "I'VE HAD ENOUGH, YOU SICK FUCK! HOW DARE YOU DISGRACE THE DEAD!"
The entire class stares with hatred at Boy#1. They start raising their pitchforks and torches.
Boy#2, "You sure sound like a sick fuck murderer. EVERYONE, lets put him in a cage. I don't trust him."
The entire class puts Boy#1 in a prison. Everyone is almost certain Boy#1 is a bigot and most likely the Nazi murderer.

Just here really to get more time with my girl Kumoko-chan but I can't complain there's usually too many expectations placed on an anime that you just can't get when compared to the LN or even the manga but it makes sense with the time constraints and the work that goes in to producing an anime. So really I'd say we mostly turn up to see our favourite animated in glorious colour and them sweet sweet action scene should they pull them off. I'm pretty happy so fair I mean I don't have the skills to pull off even the basic of animes, with that said how could I possible critic a studio for being able to pull it off, if I had to pick on gripe with the show so fair it's that it seem Fei is actually talking to Shun and the others can hear her and I'm pretty sure this shouldn't be the case. This could be down to convince for the viewers but all in all eagerly awaiting my next installment with my favorite spider... bring on the Monkey's!!!!

For some reason I loved this episode, and it is my favorite so far, maybe because we got to observe more about Shun.

Yes, unlike the vast majority who complain, I loved that much of the episode focused on Shun, because as an LN reader that I am, I was waiting to see some more scenes, and although there are people who dislike Shun, I like it for some reason, maybe because of how well written it is.

For those who complain about the scenes of classmates, just shut up and let the story unfold, they are essential characters for a future, and I even dare to say that our beloved and bland MC (Shun) is a deconstruction of the typical isekai Mary Sue.
Being alone is not synonymous with being lonely.

still on the fence, some cg went pretty bad. and the 2D action & camera yes they tried but janky & hard to read. Action directing went horrible at times, ugh this studio, same problems in Cop Craft & Berserk.
Wat's the deal with God kid with the scary green eyes!?
Introspective Fei, that brocon & gender confused Katia at least seem interesting.

the CGI wasn't great, but I don't care much. For me, it was uncomfortable to watch the water training, when the students hit the flag, but didn't wet it.

The spider's part is constantly doing good. But, oh, humans, you are a bad isekai, please, studio, stop showing them so constantly.

What the hell is the story of the human side? It's kind of boring.

The effect of the performance is too poor, and it is difficult to say the battle, which makes people almost puzzled.

There's actually an canon reason for that.
Water created by water magic isn't really water, but a super dense form of magic particles, said liquid quickly evaporates and return to the atmosphere as magic particles again.
It's common knowledge between adveturers that drinking water from water magic is useless because it will evaporate quicker than your body can absorb it.

There's a scene in the OP from the end of volume 7, so I assumed that the anime was planning on getting that far. However, we're still solidly in the middle of volume 1. If they maintain this pace they'll never make it. Maybe it'll start to pick up speed later?

Good adaptation of the story so far, however visually things are starting to look worse and worse... the frog was barely passable, but the snakes are just bad.

Well we know the CGI isn't good...

Question for you all that watched Berserk 2016, i know the studio is the same, are these CGI monster from Berserk looks like this?

At this point the only thing who saving this show for me is Kumoko, i just love her Personality as a Spider and also Aoi Yuki super talented Voice Acting Skill....

I really love the "Spiderman" reference... That shit made me laugh

I don't know why but the students part was not really interesting to me...
I want more of the Spider for now...

Berserk CG is even more atrocious. Mostly because Berserk also use it for humans.
Put in spoiler tag to not make the post too big


Okay i understand now...

Ngl I rather watch more of the Spider girl than the human, but the human bits are pretty ok.

Man, that Snake really fit inside of that tiny spider. The story is quite interesting as well so far it's going pretty well.

Technically speaking both are, in the novel the number of chapters is usually half of each one.
In general the plot of the novel is the combination of all the characters plotlines but Spider-chan is definetelly the true MC as her story is the longest.

Why ridiculous? It is common in literature for other viewpoint characters to temporarily get more screen-time than the protagonist. You can expect the protagonist to reap most of the benefits in the end though. The human storyline also exists in great part to develop Kumoko's character; you just can't see it yet.

Our poor little spider just constantly in danger. I'm sure she will figure a way out of it but what an unlucky main character. Also the humans vs the dragon was a cool fight with a really dark twist at the end.

Boring humans are boring and make it feel like the writer isn't even that confident in their own premise.

People are saying they become important/better later, but it's a good story's job to be engaging while setting up later events too. Right now, they're boring, and it's a problem. It doesn't matter how good they get later if you already stopped watching because it wasn't appealing.

This episode was more based on the humans than the spider. That dragon was defeated with seconds after Fei joined the battle. Also another Earth dragon is gonna attack spider.

Kumoko is getting so OP! Loving this, even tho the dragon's cgi was pretty bad.
Anyways, i feel kinda bad for Feirune, since she was kidnapped we don't know if that dragon was maybe one of her parents, but we'll see for sure. But now that made Feirune think.

Tbh i am more interested now in Kumoko's evolution than all of the rest. But let's see how she will escape from that dragon, but if she ate him...oh boy!

Kumoko's classmates are really baffling. First, the teacher was killed immediately, then four students were able to fight? the young dragon was able to kill the adult dragon? and finally everyone applauded? Oh please, clapping should be done at least after nothing happens to the teacher... If there is no human, this episode would not be so bad.

I like the action with the class against the dragon, even though it was in cgi, I didn't mind it one bit. Was surprise at Fei being able to damage the dragon so ferociously. Now, she a kin-eater like our spider protagonist. I wonder if the story is setting them up as rivals in the future? Shun is just a brocon and goody two shoes, vomitting and fainting, after realizing he might of murder Fei dragon birth mother/father?

If Kumoko levels up into a beast in the future, I wonder if we get to see Shun older brother in action?

Is there going to be anything between Shun x Kumoko?

Apparently people hate the "human" parts of these episodes. But I've thought they're fine

Honestly, I'd probably get really annoyed if it was just spider girl miraculously surviving and leveling up every episode

back to this episode: what was with that girl wanting to level up in order to hear god? wtf?

This has remained a 7/10 for me. It's not an excellent show, but it's interesting and entertaining so far

Humans episodes tend to have a bad animation, to ne less focused on comedy and more on story and worldbuilding. Those who are there only for Kumoko despise this episode (even If it's completely stupid).

This episode really highlights why the Kumoko community hates Shun. He's the one who throws up despite the fact that he's not the one who ate his kin. He doesn't even try to comfort Fei; he's just disgusted by it... He may be a 'good kid' but I love how this series constantly highlights his heroism as hypocrisy.

they assume its Fei's blood relative: they are wrong, it mite be, but Kin eater means eating ur own species another word for cannibalisms, but u can't assume it was her blood relative just from that


about Fei being weird about kin eater: i have no idea what the writer was thinking cause it makes no sense sins she was human, if i would be reborn as a tiger with my memories of past life i would feel nothing when eating a tiger, i would feel something only eating a human cause i am still human inside, so it makes no sense
