| Another hilarious episode. Kumoko has it rough. XD We got more content about the other students. I don't hate it that much but I'm here for the spider. |
 |
| I think I prefer manga's way of telling the story over how anime and light novel does it. |

mcbignuts said: Volume 5 is the big one, and the human storyline is dealt with in far later parts as well. There are some interesting connections there. But maybe you wouldn't find them interesting either; I don't know.Yeah I remembered all of that. Now all those are fine ideas to have in a story, but what I'm trying to say that the execution of these ideas in the novel, and also in the anime, make for a really boring experience. I can of course only comment on the small parts of the story that I have seen, maybe the author grows more proficient later. |
| I'm probably the only one that feels this way, but I really just want to fast forward to the part where Unnamed Spider meets up with the rest of the Ise-Class. I get the distinct impression this series will be much more my speed once it gets to that point. |
 |
| It’s disappointing because there are aspects of this anime that I like, but there is too much going against it. The MC is too loud too often. The 3D monsters look bad. There is little flow between the MC’s story and her classmates’ stories. Plus the fights are poorly choreographed, so there are times that I do not know what is going on. I’m hoping that it gets better, but it looks like this is what it is at this point. |
| I feel like this might be starting to run out of steam very quickly. Kumoko scrambling around versus random CGI monsters with Aoi Yuuki gives me a headache more than interest me. The human side has more potential of being interesting, yet I haven't found any remarkable characters yet. Shun is the usual goody two shoes, Hugo is the arrogant bad guy now. I found Fei to be interesting at least. If it goes on like this with basically having no story- it's a drop from me |
 |
| Episode was nice, howver I find Shun extremely annoying. Kumoko running into the Dragon was unexpected, excited to see how this will play out tho. |

I absolutely loathe Shun in a vacuum, but he does play the role of a generic, seemingly Gary Stu harem lead pretty well, so he works in this particular story. There is a reason why this guy isn't the actual protagonist. If you want to mockingly laugh at him, there will be great content on that front later. |
| Mediocre execution & direction the whole episode... the worst part being the fight against the ground dragon (however was it called) action direction & shot choices/composition were bad, confusing & plain |
 |
| Given how much stamina she will lose in combat guess you have to become quite the heavy eater in this world. So im guessing detection ended up picking up that swarm that lived nearby then. That succession of ambushes though sure was a tense affair. Looks like Sue is quite close to her brother. Rather than having a lesson focused on theory having a practical lesson off the bat was an interesting idea. While having great skill is a good thing not having enough discipline to hold back renders it moot. But things sure got real pretty quickly with the dragon attack. Despite the shock Schlain's charge with his friends was pretty inspiring. Fei though sure was the MVP here. Though somewhat affected by Hugo's interference the ad hoc team of Schlain, Karnatia, Sue and Yurin sure did well in saving the class. Overall a good mix of character expansion and action via the two parties respective encounters with their trials. From the looks of things looks like the series will be balancing between the view points of the two. |

| This was honestly my favorite episode of the series so far. The cgi kinda sucked but I really liked how they heavily focused on the other characters rather than just Kumoko. |
 |
| So Kumoko has learned that she's still heavily underleveled compared to.... average human adventurers? A lot more leveling up to do. Human side was rather interesting and not really for the good reasons. The CGI dragon aside, that Hugo person is gonna be trouble, already hate his ass and honesty don't have much good to say to that whole class. That teacher died protecting them and no one gave a fuck... My Sympathy for Fei though, eventho she didn't get any credit for killing that earth dragon, but it even got her the "kin-eater" in her appraisal... Overall a pretty average episode, not enough Kumoko. Eventho she has run into an Earth Dragon on her own.. |

| Manga only reader here so i admit i'm a bit spoiled, infact i didn't like much these episodes with humans only, pretty weak and clichè, prefer Kumoko trial in the cave 24/7 like in the manga. Kumoko is the only character i like expecially when she evolve futher, along the vampire, but this anime adaption is based on the novel so it can't be helped, need to endure these human side stories. :D |
| Would have liked to see more Death outside of the teacher but whatever. I could really care less about the students. I just want to see our Spider Girl evolve more. I liked the Spider Man and Godzilla references though. |

| as usual, skipped over all the other reincarnated human scenes ( and will keep skipping even if I rewatch this episode). They annoy me. Kumoko being chased again by humans. Funny, how appraising only says the human name. lol Good thing those dinosaurs were there to block the way. Araba vs snakes and wasps. Those things did not stand a chance, even if they ganged up on him. |

OHHHHHHH 👀 sounds spicy, now I am very intrigued what will happen with him. After this has finished airing I think I'll give the Manga a go. |

sirenix said: Go with the light novel. The manga isn't even very far, and it cuts most of the plot, including the human side (which is very, very relevant for Kumoko as well).TheDeedsOfMen said: Most people do.

| First episode I didn't really like, mainly due to the focus on the classroom. Hugo seems like a complete idiot, the rest don't really standout at all. Even the bland prince. Right now I find this show it most interesting when it focused on Kumoko. |
| omg its the alien from castleminer z guys!11!!!11 |
| gonna be honest i actually thought this was pretty bad and the fight choreography was awful with piss poor overall direction Rip to the sensei guess for future reference don't have your training ground near earth drakes or whatever? spider stuff.. okay Aoi still hard carrying it and i pray Sue doesn't keep this onii-sama shit up for the whole show had enough for that last season |

| I don't really have a problem with the animation. To me, so far, the human story is really boring. But, I'm loving the spider side of the story. |

| We got some more human stuff this episode, and I’m glad because I find it pretty interesting, but of course I’d like to see more Kumoko too. The CGI on nerfed Godzilla was also pretty bad but I might be too used to it because it didn’t bother me much lol. |
katsu044 said: That isn't a matter of splitting up the story. The place isn't that important for the human side either. They are only hanging out at the school temporarily, and they'll move on to more interesting places and things. Pretty soon, actually.TheDeedsOfMen said: i see, hard to gauge how important this other stuff is with them splitting it up "She is an extremely minor character" is the correct interpretation.

When watching, you are supposed to dislike Shun especially.How are people missing the point of the human segments this much? Clearly they're meant as a counter-point to the spider story. They're not supposed to stand on their own and they aren't even supposed to be especially sympathetic. The role they play is basically as the villains here. The ones who are unfairly favored for no reason. The novelty of this series is that they get any kind of positive characterization. |

| this is such a mess but from what my little brain logic understands Fei is similar to Kumoko. Fei was just reincarnated earlier than Kumoko. i wonder when will their paths converge... 4/5. |
 |
| We need more of the spider and less of the humans. |

LargeFries said: Everything that isn’t kumoko is dull and boring in my opinion. Sure it’s worldbuilding but I still find it uninteresting That's not even worldbuilding, tho. They haven't told or shown anything about the world. There's even more worldbuilding in Kumoko segments showing how she levels up and gains new skills than in any scene of the other characters This series is getting really disappointing, I still kinda like Kumoko (mainly for Aoi Yuuki), but the rest is just bland and uninterested... and of course, you can always count with an LNtard claiming "it will get better in 300 chapters" |
