| Lol that ending. Can't see all that popularity being good for her, though at least she might be able to get some food from the town now. Also, every faction seems evil. |
 |
| Kumoko is now a sort of Saint for the people of Keren County. XD |
| So next episode is some kind of class reunion. I reckon it will be the reunion between Kumoko and Sophia rather than the class reunion in the present, which will probably come in a couple more episodes. |
| Holy shit baby chronicles I hope they do become friends. This episode was just fantastic. |
 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. |
SaintZeph said: nice episode, people are showing kumeko the respect she deserves lol. If she could speak or use telepathy a lot of misunderstandings could be avoided in the future. Also need some help with clarification. This is the second time she saved Sophia. But Sophia's flashback was of the time she was first saved by kumeko. Will they show the second time later or is not important to the overall story? I ask because John (Sophia's father) says he was shocked a spider saved him (on the second time) even though kumeko saved him before Just very confused with the order of things. The 2nd time she saved Sophia was when she killed the elves breaking into the mansion. |
| A quite good episode, but I was disappointed that Sophia's father (the "Lord of the area") and his butler mentioned Kumoko killing all the (human) bandits around the town and somehow forgot to point out the elephant in the room : the three very dead Elves inside their own freaking house (just outside their bedroom actually) that were disguised as bandits but were actually assassins sent to kill all of them. Kumoko did not only kill some random bandits (kidnappers of children hired by Potimas and spies of the Followers of the Word) but saved the asses of the Lord, his wife and their baby a second time and somehow that wasn't worthwhile to mention when they discussed whether she was a threat? Really? In this episode we also found out why Sophia 14 - 15 years later was so eager to kill Potimas (killed ridiculously fast and easily, by the way, despite his suggestion in this episode that he was some kind of OP big shot who could take on either Ariel or the Pontiff but not at the same time...); apparently she later found out that he was the one who gave the order to assassinate her and her family since she was a baby. In the next episode I wonder what that "class reunion" will entail; if it's in the past it will almost certainly be between Kumoko and baby Sophia, but if it's in the present it will apparently involve the irritating (just because he checks all the boxes of the "typical Hero trope") Hero and his party.. My guess is it will be in the past. |

So in the picture I posted, was that said on the day that Sophia was saved for the first time? |

Well, we were just finally introduced to 3 others lol Potimas, Dustin and Sophia are not as prominent, but their POVs will show up from time to time. And while I know it's only happening on season 2, I can't wait for our next POV to show up... |
| I want that spiderweb hammock! |
 |
| Tbh I dont like the human part at all, its boring, im here to see a spider conquer the world not that stupid hero kinda thing. If its to make the story align atleast give kumoko more screen time like 70% of it. This is getting ridiculous, if it wasn't for kumoko I'd drop this without thinking. |
 |
| Pretty okay episode. Kumoko now seeing how helping one person is leading to much more work for her lol. With the title of next weeks episode we should get some action. :3 |

| This kind of story telling is so shit, I wish they can separate first half dedicated entirely for Kumo and second half entirely for Shun instead of going from A to B back to A then B again and ends with A. It's so fucking shit. It's already made known that they are both separate time period, so why keep mixing them up? It's confusing, serves nothing, and most importantly it doesn't allow the story to flow smoothly. Kinda shit to get world building info dumped on us that most likely will be useless based on where the story is going too. I get it, it's relevant in the future, but holy shit it's fucking useless now where the focus of the story isn't even nearly there. Shun is barely developed, and I don't even wanna talk about the rest of them because they are worse than Tenten from Naruto. I wish this series can be done differently where things can be rearranged to make the story more coherent and flows better. I didn't mind the human side of the story but as of late it's making the story turn from a solid 8 to 6. |
 |
| for sure! the news will spread quickly! then after the ED finishes! the episode was i foresee! bwahaha it really happen! well quite predictable...anyway the situations getting more chaotic since Potimas the old priest, and Ariel are all getting involved! 5/5. |
 |
| they really did turn her into jesus chan that can cure cancer and one of the religious cult happen to worship divine beast like "spiders" |
 |
| Ok, I didn't expect this development for our spider girl. All hail our divine beast! xD. Nice to finally have Sophia's POV. She is so cute and doesn't look bad at all, but seeing how she is now with the demon lord and her hatred for the elves...I guess the elves weren't so kind to her parents. |
| kumoko being a divine beast? lol |
| please dont give us yuusha side again !!! enough for that !! so boring to watch at that side !!! we need more kumoko side , this is getting interesting !!! |
| That's not necessarily true. Based on the web novel, what you're seeing in Kumoko's past timeline is just that-the past. When Kumoko's future timeline begins, she should provide far more information pertaining to the events in question. You're trying to insist that the humans future timeline is better than Kumoko's past timeline without recognizing that you should eventually receive Kumoko's future timeline. To be fair though, we cannot be certain Kumoko's future timeline will be adapted into the anime. |
 |
| What a fantastic episode! The world building was so good this episode, so from what I am seeing there's like 3 big leaders of the races. We got Dustin for the humans, Potimas for elves and then Ariel for the demons, shit's all coming together. Pretty fucking hilarious though how serious all the other sides are and then when we shift to Kumoko, hilarity ensues. I really really badly want to finally get to continue reading the LN volume 2, just need time. Also really nice to see Sophia's and her family's POV. Our Kumoko is now a God lmao, while the real divine beast is having a breakdown in the lower stratum lmao. Judging by the name of the town Sariella, the God they are worshiping is Sariel and Ariel was her spider partner, that's really cool. I am really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| liking the part where she heal the poor mother and boy. Now there's so many people want to be healed too. |

| More there is episodes and more i like it ^^ they are fast to look i'm always surprised when the ending starts >< |
| It is around this stage in the novel I stopped caring about Kumoko as a character and rather learnt to treat her as a plot driver. Mezzie voiced by TK? That's awesome! I do not know how this major re-ordering of events affect the plot, but let's hope it doesn't feel like a mess at the end. |

They showed it all because all the big players of the world are *moving.* I don't see how anyone could find it confusing. And if you think it's twisty now, wait until kumoko gets to the elf village in her timeline. This is a mystery, dude. You have to piece it together yourself. What the fuck are you smoking lmfao Kumo's scene happened 15 years ago and Shun is the present time period. Sophia's scene is also 15 years ago and Dustin scene is present again. How on God's green earth do you call that concurrently??? Do you even understand the word concurrently? I doubt it. Just because it's a mystery doesn't mean it was well presented. It has been shit so far with red herrings that serve no purpose other than to misled viewers that serve literally nothing, means nothing, and will reveal nothing significant that will change the audience's perspective on the story. The only thing that I'd say will matter is the identity of the administrator, and Kumo's true identity. |

MegamiRem said: Kumoko just became a healer. So when does her revenge story starts lol? Pretty sure it already started since episode 3 of Human Side story (present 15 years later timeline) where she killed the "Hero". Since judging by the episodes afterward, Kumo's goal is to literally kill all Humans including any Reincarnates. Since in ep 17, her babies said the Humans are already dead anyways. (which now makes sense after someone mentioned in the LN, Kumo was a lot darker compared to the manga/anime... so Kumo is technically the "evil last boss" of this series) (In her past 15 years ago timeline, Kumo is basically like a newborn child that "doesn't know better" of the world around her since she was literally just thrown into it as a spider, so I guess some stuffs happened in that 15 years that caused Kumo to go psycho and wants to kill everyone, and we've already seen some of her skills that pretty much makes it so she doesn't give a fuck about killing people, if anything it's "fun to kill people") |

| LOL, I dragged out the LN spoiler ppls I don't read the LN, but I did read the manga. And if you haven't noticed by now, everything I post I purposely post in a "anime only", so literally everything I post are spoiler-proof and only includes things that happens and is shown in the anime in a way where the reactions are based on just watching the anime. That's the whole reason why your "isn't paying attention" trying to correct me always runs into spoilers that you can't post. ___ ___ ___ Well, technically I also did just skim through some of the Human parts, since I am only interested in Kumo side of the story (why I read the manga and not the LN). So in a sense, your right, I wasn't paying attention to the Human side of the story. |

If its to make the story align atleast give kumoko more screen time like 70% of it. This is getting ridiculous, if it wasn't for kumoko I'd drop this without thinking. You're asking something imposible, even in the novel Kumoko's POV only sums around 60% of all the chapters. Yes, Kumoko is the main POV of the story, but the story has never been about a "cute" spider doing cute things. One of the main points of the story is about how this new world changed the students (and their struggle for these changes), how the students changed the world and how they affected the life of others with or without knowing. Here's your cute spider doing cute things (spoiler chart) Sometimes we even have cases like this: (this is volume 6)  20+ chapters and only 5 are from Kumoko's POV.... Or in even more rare cases, no Kumoko's POV in the entire volume. |
| At this point, the human plot is so awful I'm just completely skipping it. It's nice that the MC is helping people, but word is going to spread along roads to other towns and she's going to be found out real quick. She needs to learn to create a familiar that looks like herself and leave the familiar behind to perform the healing while she gets out of dodge. Within a few days, big mom is going to show up and one shot the familiar. Maybe create a few familiars so that after big mom kills one and leaves, another familiar can come out of hiding and continue performing the healing. |
Very clear actually, Kumoko as a white spider and baby Sophia timeline is 15 years before Shun timeline even starts. Confirmed in Ronaldt fight (old guy and soldiers vs Kumoko, 15 years ago), by D second dialogue with spider (who mentioned everyone is currently just a bunch of babies while she leveled a lot in question of months), not to mention Basgath describing the Nightmare of Labyrinth antics, who are exactly like Kumoko (heal, just attack if you attack her), a powerful monster white spider who came out 15 years ago. Also, there's a lot of Kumoko's children just chilling in the labyrinth, by Shun timeline. Finally, the vampire Sophia Shun party interacted (and fighted, in epi 14) with is obviously NOT a baby. Yet, she look like that baby... Because she IS her. 15 years old. Sorry, but what's else is unclear? At most you can be confused about who Kumoko's currently (Shun Timeline) is, and what she's doing, which are spoiler. She is: |

| What a great episode, now everyone thinks that Kumoko is the divine beast under DL's command lmao That ending tho ahaha, she will have a long day of work. Can't wait for the next episode! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Up to this point, I had only been enjoying Kumo's side of the story but the human's side is getting pretty interesting too now. |

| Idk why, but rhat 24s mark can make me dizzy, ngl. Kumoko finally get a fully recovered spider body. Now i can get a little understanding of why Kumoko being called as the Goddess. Kumoko instantly got a horde of worshippers, not so long after arriving at those Karen County (hope i don't spell a mistake), receiving lot of attention, and made a nice contact with the human believers there. Its not just a divine beast, its, Kumoko. The back and forth plot style still create a bit of troublesome to me. Now they added a little new pov here and there again, under a certain characters. The bloodsucker reincarnation girl, her father, Potimas, and Dustin. Shun group pov still clear as crystal with their goal, gathering the power by themself, in the middle of the conflicted areas. Idk if they can achieve that by their own hands. But, slowly i can finally understand how the conflict started in the first place. These episode kinda connect all of the disjointed information that already known before, and its relation with Kumoko. Their respective views about Kumoko tbh very amusing. All of them really got a different angle about the spider. The next title episode also sound fascinating. The class reunion, eh? Well.... |

| So Kumoko is becoming a saint. I guess the religious groups will now get involved. |
 |
| I really like how they took Sophia's point of view. The anime doesn't only show the 'hero' side but also the 'maou' side and her minions. As every episode amazing job from our godess Aoi Yuuki.. I even start to like the ending haha. |

Sanitizer_trio said: guessing this is based off the manga then it had the comedy tag but all that 15yrs in the future shit wasn't in the manga or maybe the animes is its own thingSwagernator said: Dude, 18th episode any my good lord ... if it wasn't for the human part (where something/anything at least happens) i would drop this already. Kumoko just keeps beating the dead horse, her jokes stopped being funny somewhere in the 5th episode, her constant rambling is cringe indusing and her being literally a Kirito also does no help a bit. Walls of pointless text that "explains" stuff are also tragic. I know this is an isekai story, but i was told this one is the best. So where is it. The Kumoko character in this anime is very different from one in the LN. LN is much more darker, and she just do what she can trying to survive -- always on the brink of her demise. That is why I was very surprised about the silly tone of her character in the Anime. But I get why they did that -- people are accustomed to see things like "Slime" without any logic and a lot of boobs, and dark tone like in the LN would probably turn away big portion of the audience right away. Still, it somehow managed to work out for me, giving an entirely new taste for the story. And I think you where told correctly -- this is a best isekai there is today (and I would say "Overlord", "Goblin Slayer" and maybe "Shield hero" are fine stories as well). I wish we had much more of that level of serious isekai stories, for more mature audience. |
