I missed Kumoko so much in the last 2 weeks!
Great story progression, the fun has just began for our cute little spider! <3

Personally don't like the OP, but Ariel vs Kumoko is something I am gonna look forward to!

So Kumoko finally got outside and now mother is bugging her by sending the rest of her kin after Kumoko.

Hugo is back to mess with the humans a bit more, especially Schlain. Fei is still evolving in an egg.

The energy of the ED song stayed the same! I do love this ED a lot more than the 2nd OP.

Damn wish she recruited her mom somehow and her full arsenal of children. IT would make kumeko OP and have a army.

New Opening and Ending were good! I thought Kumoko going outside was fun but Mother wanting her back was interesting.

Damn Hugo is Garbage. Interesting to see what happens with the Humans now.

Kumoko is still funny af lol.

they're switching around the fight and the place since that battle with the arch taratect was supposed to be inside the dungeon and happens before her meeting with the wizard (so before Araba as well), since they say she passed 2 levels with the arch Taractect fight, but she was already at 29 due to fighting Araba before, so that would make her 31; but the max level + evolve choice for this species is at 30 IIRC. That was also why she was eating them, since she didn't have access to outside world's fruits and the like.
Notice how they don't say the level she reached this time, either.


I thought of that too, but thought that maybe next evolution will be at 40, but you are saying that they changed it from LN?

Still the human side just bores me, but Kumoko is just awesome and yes her brothers were no match for her. This has been one of the best Isekai in a whole, I just wish the human side was more interesting and shortened, I just don't care about any of the humans. Also want to know more about "taboo" and yeh Kumoko is the Demon lord I think judging by her previous interactions. Demon lord had web powers, spoke about unleashing abyss magic and also talked with that commander guy who she met after killing the fire dragon. The white girl I think is administrator D. This is just my speculation and no spoilers since I really have no idea

Prefer the new OP, almost like the new ED until Aoi Yuuki managed to ruin it in the prechorus and the rest of the song. The beginning and the first verse was so great, it was like listening to Dragonforce. Suddenly it turned into shit and lost its rhythm LOL.

Also new OP visuals literally spoiled Kumoko vs Demon Lord so we know that Kumo isn't her, which made all the hints from previous cour pointless. Still don't know what the hell were those red herrings for. Like why? It's so pointless to try and make audience question whether if the demon lord could be Kumo or not. What's the point? What were they for? I really don't get it.

I would have lived longer without all the spider crap, I get that the CGI is for better timing, and overall is easier, in fact I've got used to it. But MAN why does her powers and all her shit have to be so fuckin op, she is cringe, hypocrite and plain stupid smh, can't stand her, the human parts are way more interesting.

Things are really starting to heat with the humans. Can't wait to find out what Hugo(?) did to Schlain's sister and friend because at the end they didn't look hurt, but possibly under the control or influence of something.

I agree with u there,I thought the 1st OP/ED were miles better than these,but,heyho.
Was damn nice to see Kumoko ambling around the forest,not a care in the world,until mother called and sent her siblings after her.
Looking forward to the rest of the season,though I mostly just enjoy watching Kumoko's conversations with
A-her other selves
B-her narratives on whats going on in her life.
She's bloody hilarious!

Are you sure that the OP isn't a red hearing too?

Funny enough all this episode's human part was trying to do was re-insert elements needed for the next arc.
The novel likes to play its game in long run foreshadowing future arc way early than they should be, both Potimas and Anna (the half elf maid) are characters that are introduced in volume 1 but aren't really needed until this part (volume 3). In the same way Mother's conflict is foreshadowed in volume 3. This battle against Kumoko's brother was supposed to happen when Kumoko was in the upper stratum but nothing major happened until she escapes from the labyrinth in volume 4.

This missing info also created a mini plot hole that funny enough no one noticed. What was Oka doing in an Academy for nobles?
We know that Shun and Hugo are princes, Katia is duchess, Fei is a royal pet and Yuri was the future saint of the Word of God Religion.
The answer is that Oka is the daughter of Potimas, aka She's the Elf Princess.

It could be like the bleach openings in which Ichigo and the Hollow interact with each other. Naruto and the kyubi are good examples too.

It's been 13 episodes and I still hate how some scenes are "shot".

If someone is talking why the hell is 70% of the screen taken up by the hair/head of the person sitting across from them. It's very claustrophobic at times and other times it's just plan ugly.

I actually don't see any problem with the protagonist being a hypocrite. It is a nice change of pace from all the honest, straight-laced protags. It is not as though the narrative is trying to portray her as such either. If anything, we need more hypocrites as protags.

Nice to see this is back for its 2nd half, and a great way to start it. Loved the fight between Kumoko and her brothers. I know people are saying they spoiled that Kumoko isn’t the demon lord in the OP, but I kinda already figured that was the case so it’s not a big deal for me. The new OP and ED were both great as well.

i don't know why i never looked it up till now but we are in the 2nd cour and the human side storyboarding always looks like a mess of shot composition .... Director Shin Itagaki it all makes sense now and his type of style does not work here unlike something like Teekyuu


first thing she has to do once outside is kill all her kin ,kinda funny shes being cautious to not kill a bunch of humans now

Oh boy! Kumoko probably has a chance to transform into a human, that would be so great!

And the whole DL story made it obvious that Kumoko for sure will take her place in the future xD

So the next episode will probably her fighting against her mom, that will be epic, can't wait!

Oh, so we finally have confirmation that Kumoko is not the demon lord ha! Or so one would normally think but I don't know what to think anymore because now it turns out that Kumoko is attacking Mother's mind with her parallel minds and who knows what the outcome will be. Also now the idea of evolving into something with human form came out so we'll see where that goes.

The OP also shows emphasis on the weird girl (Shouko) who had that encounter with Shun at the vending machine. She was my first suspect of being the demon lord and she is still very suspicious but there's also that blonde in Hugo's group shown quite a bit in the OP hmmm...

Speaking of Hugo... you fucking son of a bitch! I'm scared for the girls, can we kill him already? I swear, if he does anything to them... Oh, and it looks like the evil looking brother is actually evil lol.

I wonder what's up with the half elf girl, looks like she'll be relevant. At least in the OP you can see her with the shield guy.

Spider is back with many new mysteries. Please girls, be safe.

One week break made me realize I like this serie more than I thought.

Stakes are finally taking shape. World is interesting so far and the narrative with the past and the present going around and complement each other is a good strat, let's see if they will give a good catharsis at the end. Ofc Kumoko is still charming and charismatic as hell, and watching how she struggles to get through any situation and succeds is satisfying. Last fights have been really good too, even with the hideous CGi. Humans are still generic and boring, but at least the conflicts are interesting enough to bear them and keep watching.

Also, I never took the bait of Kumoko being the demon lord lol. Like, it was so obvious they tried to make the viewer believe she was her so they could throw out the big plot twist... But I can say for sure they are somehow related.

This second part looks more promising, I hope they don't fuck up.

Back to this again! And now we have a new OP and ED this time. The OP is good, but I like the 1st one more. ED was great. As expected of Aoi's "rock n roll!" voice.

They made a decent start of the 2nd cour. The CGs are now a bit good compare to the terrible cgi 1st cour. I really hope they keep this up. Also it looks like things will get even more interesting of Kumokos adventure since she's now out on the dungeon and also to Shun's side since the death of Julius

Let us welcome back our adorable mass murderer Kumoko! Great episode! Missed this shit so much lmao. I love the OP, was hype as shit and the ED is as insane as the first one, good shit. Started reading the light novels, only finished volume 1 so far, once I get time again I'll continue.

Kumoko is finally outside, it's pretty cool how she can just teleport in and out of the labyrinth now, that's pretty convenient. Kumoko committing family genocide like it's nothing lmao. We also meet Potimas the elf king, I am assuming that's Oka's father. Anna will probably be important since some shots were focusing on her. Hugo has also started moving.

Oh shit, Kumoko's going to fight Mother through the mind. Really looking forward to the next episode, shit's getting crazier.

Kumoko could potentially be the white demon commander with the rot attacks, but I had my money on the demonlord since she knew the classmate's names.

I think you'll find out in 2-3 episodes.

"The Demon Lord is Kumoko" and "Kumoko fights against the Demon Lord at some point" are not mutually exclusive though. You are relying on common sense premises that may not apply here. All the hints may have been accurate.

The hint from the OP came a few episodes ahead of time though, so accusing it of early spoilers is fair, much like OP1 spoiling (or "spoiling") that the Demon Lord is Kumoko.
