THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Kumoko just gets tougher and tougher. There really is no limits to her abilities, or at least she still has ways to grow even stronger. She's a one of a kind monster now! On the other hand, knowing more about the world from an administrator is also important for her.

On the human side, we got some fan service with swimsuits lol

The story is picking up more and more each week. The human side in particular has really become the most interesting for me. I’m really curious to find out more about what happened to the rest of the class. Sensei knows more than she’s letting on. The plot to overthrow schlain’s father and the civil war in the empire, who’s pulling the strings and why.

I think the anime does a good job of feeding you crumbs, but still keeping you wanting more. With them now entering the Elroe labyrinth, a confrontation with the spider portion of the story looks inevitable.

On Kumoko’s end, we finally got her meeting Arial. Not off to a great start so far, can’t wait to see how this goes next week.

Book ends of Kumoko with Shun in between. A big info dump at the beginning of the episode with Kumoko talking to Administrator D again. Telling her how they got reincarnated to this world, about the system how D had something to do with why their classroom was where the explosion happened. Smart way to make it not just some random accident like lots of isekai do but make it a targeted attack that Kumoko, Shun, and everyone got the cross fire. Awesome that now Kumoko has her immortality skill, evolving into this new rare type of monster. That's probably what saved her at the end of the episode where Ariel came in and dices Kumoko up. Interesting way to have their first meeting go down like that.

Shun and crew basically just trying to flee the country. Going into that labyrinth that's assuredly be difficult to find your way out since they need this guide. Fei getting her new/old human form looked cute. Its nice she's back to her old self before the reincarnation now. Funny they ran into that water dragon and it was a real problem for them to take out but Kumoko just breezed through crossing another type of dragon off the list.

You realize that there's a time gap between the spider and human portions of the story right?
D even mentioned that the others are still babies.

Kumoko has been evolved again. As usual, she's getting stronger with each day. Not to mention, she has gotten a new ability, Immortality which suggests that she will not die?
She also found out that the administrator is someone from her own class in her previous life which will be pretty interesting to see if it ever gets revealed.

As for the humans, they are trying to get into the labyrinth through the sea route which means swimsuits. LOL But, the water dragons made it quite difficult for them to cross. We also saw Fei's human form which is pretty cute. Also, Kumoko's chilling at the beach as well.

Man Ariel looks bad in 3d. Though I said the same thing about big dragon and that fight turned out good. Still she’s humanoid and Jesus Christ just don’t let her look like that next episode. Also does sensei know who the administrator is? Ig it would be easy enough with process of elimination

Exhaustion nullification sounds pretty useful but Immortality is by far the most eye catching. Nice to hear D again after so long. She has one hell of a dark humour though. So D until the explosion was just an outsider that only designed the system but wasn't the one that managed it. Curious though at who D was within the class though. Fei's new human form was surprisingly cute. To think that this form resembled her old self that much though. Against Kumoko who faced creatures far scarier that sea dragon was just small fry. But man Ariel came sooner than expected. Overall an excellent ep that combined excellent world expansion via Kumoko's convo with D and Filmo's explanation and Fei's evolution with tension via the sea dragon and Ariel entry. Curious at what will happen next ep.

The human side is still tense but wow Fei has a human form now, she looks pretty good like that, way better than the dragon one xD.
That end though! Maou-sama is here, so that's where Kumoko met her for the first time, at least she can't die so that's fine

Yes, she can not die within the system but that begs the question, how could she get outside of it~?

Well yes, IMMORTALITY at its finest. You can't die, doesn't mean you can't be ripped into pieces.

Additional points if the pieces are spread across the world, sealed, and absolute void of necessity of life like food, water, air.

Still impressed at how thrilling and suspenseful the story is, while the CGI water dragon looked like an alien and the fight animation felt like a diashow. This contrast is truly unique in the anime industry until now, I think...

Probably because there will be a lot of action between Kumoko and Ariel, and they don't want 2D slideshow fight scenes as seen in ep. 14 to ruin it entirely.

That's ONE HECK of an evolution for Kumoko from Administrator D. Immorality for evolving into a Zana Horowa, and Administrator D FINALLY explaining the power system in the reincarnation world to Kumoko in her most casual, non-threatening and teasing manner.

Fei has finally got a human form, but the attention span should be kept low, as is with Shun and the others against the kingdom chasing their toes everywhere and Sensei withholding vital information to let the story pass.

The journey to the Great Elroe Labyrinth is difficult and treacherous, not to mention a high-risk one. It's like between Kumoko and Shun and Co., they're "so close, yet so far" in coincidentally meeting each other.

Fishing to pass the time for Kumoko...that's the right thing to do. And the threat has come...the Demon Lord Ariel has descended. Hope the last third delivers somewhat.

Honestly that CGI on the demon lord looked as good as Kumoko's, and I really prefer a full CGI fight between those two over another2D shitstorm like in episode 14

Looking at Ariel's skills now, we finally know why she used spider thread. Now I just want to know why she attacks Kumoko.
Fei getting human form is kinda nice, but I still would prefer to have humans side reduced to bare minimum.

Immortality is cool AF. OP even. I wonder if she is going to regen tho. Being immportal in pieces doesn't sound that useful.

She's (Ariel/Maou) the original Taratect meaning all the spiders Kumoko killed are all her progeny.

We finally get some more questions answered regarding why the class was reincarnated and confirmation that Kumoko is not the Demon Lord (probably). Kumoko’s parts continue to be the highlight and the action scenes with the humans continues to be pretty shotty. The narrative flow between the two stories was also a bit messy in this episode.

Quite the eventful episode this week.

Kumoko got even more OP, becoming "immortal" and being dubbed "Champion".

We also got more knowledge on D, and that she was in fact one of Kumoko's classmates. This came alongside more knowledge on how exactly they ended up in this new world - and confirmation that Kumoko died.

Fei finally managed to secure a human form, meaning we of course got some swimsuit fanservice. Speaking of dragons, Kumoko takes down another dragon this episode - a water dragon.

Then right as the credits roll, we are introduced to Kumoko and the Demon Lord's first interaction. I didn't imagine it would take place at sea, but it's gonna be interesting non-the-less ^^

Well, a lot of news in this episode, finally progress is seen accompanied by a good drawing, both as 3d and 2d, this time the last one improved a lot, compared to ep 14 this was enjoyable

The "fan service" was evident, and although I personally don't like that song, I admit that it made sense in the episode, although it's not a big deal like the slime or konosuba fanservice either, I like that.

Here is a topic that will have me in doubt, and they are the 25 (?) Characters and the role that each of them has.

AFAIK of all the chapters, Hugo - Natsume, Yamada - Schain, and they all went to the academy with Katia (that friend of Yamada), Yuri, Fei (the one who does bullying) and Oka - Sensei ... and then they say that there are 4 characters that they will never see again, of which this Hiiro, who has been Kumo-chan, of those there are 3 of which 1 is Administrator D, also in the last chapters Sophia was added, of which Kumo-chan saw her name, but I'm very bad with them lol, so far they go 10 characters is not it?

Humans may have two eyes, but we can only see one thing

I liked the episode, both the Kumoko side and her classmates' story have progressed in the story. Kumoko got new skills and we know that the person who's talking to her is also one of her classmates that died. Her classmates also traveled to find a guide that would help them towards their goals. I thought it was cool that Fei was able to find a skill that made her able to turn human again. Also, I was a bit confused with how Kumoko got to the sea/ocean when she fought that sea dragon and finally met the demon king, Arial. Also, I thought that Kumoko was Arial a couple of episodes ago, but I guess not since she blasted her.

Hey, finally confirmation that Kumoko is not the Demon Lord. I mean, it was too on the nose and she wasn't even voiced by Aoi Yuuki to begin with. As I originally thought, her humanoid form is most likely the woman in white... who I think appears next to Mother in the OP? I wonder why the demon lord called Shun by his Japanese last name though.

Eyyyyyyy Hayamin is back! <3. And she's back with some pretty important information. I definitely wouldn't have expected her to be one of Kumoko's classmates and be the reason (not on purpose) they all died. No wonder she felt guilty and reincarnated them with unique skills, poor Kumoko reincarnating as a spider though. Man, there are still so many questions about the lore.

I don't know why when I saw the OP I didn't imagine the girl with wings to be Fei but nice, now we have a dragon waifu. I just hope her shitty personality she had left behind doesn't come back.

Ariel vs Kumoko!!! And she's already dead xD. I see her immortality skill came just in time, I wonder how it works.

The plot thickens... Kumo is immortal (within the system [which means the heresy attacks she's doing on mother could still kill her]), Fei is now humanoid, like no one saw that coming or anything...

Next week it's the fight against Demon Lord? well, why would the Demon Lord fight a head lol
Kumoko is OP and all and this was finally feeling like your typical isekai with OP protags, but there are bigger fishes in the ocean. Ganbare, Kumoko!

for the answer check the name of the baby vampire when Kumoko appraise her in ep14, and we even got the real name a few later.

For this ep16 I also like how we learn about the real cause of this isekai and how it makes sense, there are too few ones that try to explain it.
While Ariel animation was nice until now I fear the kumoko vs Ariel fight to be like in the 2nd opening, i.e full cgi.

So this is confirmation that Kumoko isn't the demon lord. Wasn't thrilled that they made her a 3d model, but it is a very nicely done model and thinking back on the fight animation few episodes ago I'd say this is for the better. As for the human side, still can't bring myself to care about what is going on there, the pacing is just too slow on their end.

Kumoko used the dimensional pocket spell.

All the magic skills have 10 spells, one for each level. One of the spells of Dimensional Magic is a spatial storage.
Kumoko stored a lot of the ocean water and then released it inside the dungeon, this is the same reason why Shun & Co went into the dungeon with almost no backpacks, the labyrinth guides usually have this skill to reduce the weight of the groups.

So Ariel and Hugo are working together to destroy the kingdom and are the Demon Lords. And Kumoko, we still have more questions about her existence about how she was reincarnated as a spider. And I hope Kumoko can team up with Shun and the other in order to defeat both Ariel and Hugo. And I wonder if it ends up like Sword Art Online at the end of season one. Where the survivors return back home to Japan.

vampire baby is sophia, you even see her name as sophia when kumo appraises her and her japanese name as negishi which oka called her
"I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says.
I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby".
"She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other."
