THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
With these new skills, I'd say that Kumoko actually became a decently powerful character, much more tougher compared to the first few episodes. Jesus Christ, there's so much narratives about levels and skills in this show though, especially this episode.

It looks like we also got some training going on which I suppose is important for the humans to learn and improve themselves more.

This episode was weird. The frame freezed for several seconds ... and they didn't even add the ending song or the preview for the next episode.
Maybe the episode was rushed ? I hope they don't have production problems.

What with the existential crisis in this episode, I am not playing DDLC.

And, Now, all of a sudden, she also holds "THE Ruler of Wisdom", but she also had an "Arrogance Skill", One is a deadly sin one is a virtue. Which faction does Kumo support???

All of a sudden, The Key Animation felt weird at times, like when he started running. In static shots, it was awesome. But, Sometimes, You gotta give some sakuga.

And, Kumo acting like a schizophrenic person low-key weirded me out.

Is Teacher the Real Bad Guy/Girl behind the Back ???

She doesn't want anyone to become strong. This goes into a bit of "Bruh, I am the Final Villan kind of Category."

Wow didn't think Oka chan was this strong or should I even call her strong. Seemed like she had some admin level authority. Maybe she knows some secret of this world which others don't. The last part of this episode felt weird too.

I don't really now. But it seems she used cursed magic when removing Hugo's skills.

I’m glad we finally got a students focused episode. I know I’m in the minority with it, but I’d rather watch them than Kumoko. The 3DCGI just doesn’t do it for me. I’ve seen some people complaining about the 2D fight scene with Hugo today but I didn’t notice anything bad personally.

Oka seems to have used some type of cursed magic to remove Hugo’s skills which is kinda weird to me. Why’s she afraid of people growing strong? Guess we’ll find out.

Really interested to find out who that girl who’s offering to help Hugo is too.

I love Kumoko's interactions with herself. I find them quite adorable. Also, she has become quite a strong spider now. Sue has a brother complex. Lol. Hugo is still an asshole. Great to see, that Sensei took all of his skills. But, she's in danger now. That revelation of Kumoko being a character in a game was scary.

They are skipping most of the grinding, so it's faster. But that's pretty much given in the anime, I guess. Then again, everything shown are just hints to the actual plot so far, but it's not too long before we start to see a good glimpse of the actual story,

It takes her quite a bit longer to obtain her stuff. Like days and weeks more that it's shown. (couple of month passed already by now for her) But other than that Anime stays quite faithful to what and how it should be showing, there are several shortcuts taken - but nothing important is lost.

As LN reader i really liked this episode, a lot of good stuff XD

The whole "Evil Eye" Chuunibyou moment with Aoi Yuuki, THAT cracks me up like an edgelord. The whole talk with Kumoko's double, that's quite the amusement.

Back to the human world, and the constitution of the reincarnated classmates to account for everyone present. But sooner or later, Shun (Schlain) and Natsume's (Hugo) feud is of no escape...the secondary plot's MC vs. villain storyline, or for better words: a Dr. Stone reincarnation but everything gone so horribly wrong.

Not sure about you, but to me, Hugo and Natsume's fight was just as bad as how the OP depicted it to be. The plain action that just felt like repeat framed scenes carried by the subpar confrontation. A good thing that Ms. Oka (their homeroom teacher Kanami) acted like a teacher would...but with administrative authority? Sounds about right, and stripping Natsume of his powers for dereliction and defiance of duty...as if that's gonna stop him.

Before long, I'd say that Kumoko has already went past the reincarnated classmates skills one way or another. The reveal of Administrator D, and obtaining skills that's out of the norm...there's more than meets the eye!

I didn't see anything wierd with frames that some of you are writing about, so if anyone can point out where in the episode it was, I woiuld be thankful!
Other than that, great episode, a little bit overwhelming at times with the skills but it's interesting to see nonetheless. The plot is thickening and I like the developement with Hugo a lot.

Feel it was good episodes, continue to enjoy Kumoko antics and getting to see more of the other reincarnation is good. Love a fight scene.

Finally we got a small introduction of D and Sophia.
Although do not remember this scene with Hugo and Sophia in the light novels?

Can’t wait to see more because if it continues to follow the light novels it going to be a really fun watch :)

Okay, I think it's worth celebrating:
For the first time ever, events on the human side were captivating.


All of these new reveals are intriguing. I was wondering how the teacher was so easily finding reincarnated folks, but if she has one of the ruler privileges, at this point it wouldn't be surprising if she had directly access to a way to get these peoples' data as well. Either her, or someone around her.

Shun should have tried to analyse her, I think the result would have been pretty interesting.

Also lmao I was like "ah, jagans. Well there's a lot of them and a spider has 8 eyes so she may take one per eye or something" and then kumoko goes ahead with the same idea~.
The whole chuuni stuff was funny.

anomalies have started to happen spider side the moment she reached level 10 for the analyse skill. Did she even try analysing anything since then? Herself, for example.
Also, that next episode's title? Oo

The other student part is starting to get interesting now with Hugo, though he is still a jerk.

It does appear that Oka-Sensei used some sort of administrative authority by stripping Hugo of his skills and abilities.
Even though Oka-Sensei says skills are dangerous, our cute little Kumoko-chan is getting more skills. I just found it amusing.

Manga is not the source - it's half adaptation of LN that cut all of human content. Read LN for full story. (also anime will likely go past the point where manga ends while doing twice as much content due perspective split)

Another episode that wasted time on some generic teen drama. I watch this anime only for the spider, not for the stupid generic anime teens and their harem bs.

The craziest episode of spider so far! The direction this episode was mind blowing. Like a visceral experience, the camera and shot composition looked incredible. The technical aspects of this episode were amazing along with the more compelling human side of the story. We finally see Shun and Hugo go to blows with Hugo thinking he could own this new world they've been reborn in. Trying to enact a plan to gain fame and boost his status. Along with killing Shun too of course that makes it even better for him. The action for their fight was great. Shun trying his best but not enough against the overpowered Hugo, luckily Oka came in with her wind punches to save him. Her draining Hugo of all his skills shocked me that's insane to be able to do. Kumoko didn't get a whole lot this episode in comparison to the human reincarnated classmates but we did see her gain some new skills. That wisdom one she got by the admin hearing her complaints was another big twist. Kumoko hearing the static then getting her woes heard adds more questions.

Finally I guess
From now on this anime gonna be interesting
As untill now all we have seen a spider grinding hard for skills and on the other side some teen drama . .
But in today's episode the shock of gaining skills to kumoko and that admin level power of oka-chan made me really curious for what gonna happen next
Now I can say
Can't wait for next episode

For me the 2D action scenes were not bad, but they could improve since it seems that they reused some frames in the battle ..

From this chapter things get very interesting, both for the human side and for the kumo-chan, on the one hand, the privileges that the elf sensei has are something to think about, I wonder if she was the first to be reborn, I think she had already said something about that in a chapter, didn't she? If I remember correctly the introductory chapter ... that way she may have been born with something special for being the first, or it is just a whim of some administrator

speaking of them, now kumo-chan realizes that she is being watched in some way, something terrifying knowing that there are already 4 reborn dead

Looks like Hugo met the Demon Lord, didn't he?

the formula n% l = w ... also has it kumo-chan like hugo right? ... there are many unknowns

I look forward to the next episode

A lot of infodumping and set-up again, as expected. Thankfully, I know their relevance. I kind of like Hugo's observation that law enforcement in this world is obviously trash.

yeah Hugo figured out how to survive pretty early on compared to the other reincarnations. He is a jerk but his approach on how to take out Shun was a decent plan if Filimos didnt interfere

This episode was pretty good. Finally the more interesting and mystery part os the story is coming up. Some peple said that the were a very weird frames in the fight this episode, which although i agree in a sense, its also the fact that this studio always animates this way (a good example is the cop craft opening). Itagaki, despite being honestly one of the best comedy directors in the business right now, is probably not amazing at doing action, as a lot of times he tries to make fights look confusion, making them somewhat realistic to how a normal fighter would feel while battling, but that makes us the viewer just confused overall and just makes the fight not that impressive visually.

Geez, I felt the camera work was really bad in the human part. Though, maybe all these weird close-ups and odd angles is because there is a purpose to them? Maybe each and every single one of these angles is from one of Kumoko's clones watching everything? These spiderlings are tiny and can sometimes be smaller than what the eye can see. All of this would explain why the studio is using weird angles and stuff they're not used to using. These aren't normal and look weird and sometimes bad, but in context they make sense.

We hear that acquiring skills might be bad and then we see Kumoko learning some deep stuff because she gained a lot of skills. I guess teacher just doesn't want kids to know too much? Whether it's for their own good or because she has some other plans is a different matter.

The two separate minds skill is really helpful, but seems like that there are administrators in this world, it reminds me of SAO Alicization.
The reincarnated student part was also interesting because on how the elf sensei removed Hugo's skills and stats, well now he will need to get his revenge
