So it's something that the Nightmare left behind. Wow ok thanks for the info i was wondering about it for a while now, this series just like wonder egg isn't a series where u can shut ur brain off and watch it basically need full concentration to get whats happening etc or you'll end up missing things anyway thanks for the info much appreciated |

| Wait wait wait so she fought those guys 15 years ago and she was ridiculously Overwhelming and ever since then she's been on her daily grind evolving on a regular so just how powerful is this spider as of now then 😳 |

The story really starts picking up after she gets out |

| well uh i so far the human side hasn't really shown any real reason to hate them outside of not having the main character ,rather not have another overlord slime is already going down that route. really does make sense why they tried to make her cute in our view because it's kinda hard to root for death incarnate still interested in where this goes |
 |
| I really enjoy Kumo-chan different "personalities" they're so funny XD I really want to see an anime with only Kumo-chan on it, I got bored whenever human characters talk :( |

svet said: Too few Kumoko's scenes. I would really prefer they drastically shorten the "stereotypical-isekai-male-protag-hero(LOL)" character to show more Kumoko. To be fair, the Ronandt's scene does include Kumoko but we didn't see and hear any of Kumoko's perspective. It really feels like we have only been having a couple minutes of Kumoko screentime compared to the other guy's scenes for the past few episodes, though that might change in the next episode to talk about max level Taboo but I'm not holding much hope at this point... tl;dr: more Kumoko scenes please! Believe me there'll be plenty more Kumoko scenes, but they have to show how the rest of the world sees our little spider |
svet said: billybub said: Believe me there'll be plenty more Kumoko scenes, but they have to show how the rest of the world sees our little spider err...i know there will be more (I had read both WN and LN to know that) just that my dislike for the other guy is so great that I just don't want to see him interrupting any more Kumoko scenes How can you possibly hate the best Geezer? |

| This series is getting so much more interesting now. |

svet said: linkhuesitos said: How can someone not like this crazy old goat. lol was talking about the "stereotypical-isekai-male-protag-hero(LOL)" character aka Shun. dammit you made me type out his name Yeah Shun pretty much sucks, but he's there for a reason. Personally I'm just waiting for |
| the anime is actually much better than the manga which is rare |
sunnaryt said: Well manga is not the source - so that's not surprising. If you want even better experience - read LN. the anime is actually much better than the manga which is rare |
| Nightmare of the Labyrinth Kumoko looks so badass!! I've read about this battle in the novel, and read it in the manga as well. But seeing it animated still feels awesome. looking forward to next week. :) |
| these replies are making my head hurt,, i had no idea people were this slow |

Woah! So Kumoko's story is a back story, from 15 years ago? Therefore she now probably evolved to a something more powerful! I'm excited to see her current evolution and powers! |
| At least the human side of the story is getting more interesting. Pretty solid episode. |
 |
| I'm quite surprised about the turn this anime took. Wasn't expecting a proper setup for an actual story to take place in just two episodes. Not sure if that can excuse a prologue that's 1/3rd of the anime but I guess it remains to be seen if there'll be a sequel. |

Not sure if that can excuse a prologue that's 1/3rd of the anime but I guess it remains to be seen if there'll be a sequel. First part is also a setup. Everything is long play. also we getting 24 episodes already (which you actually know now that i reread your post about1/3) so it's not even close to over yet. |
| Argh, I fucking need more. That was a really great episode! Nightmare of the Labyrinth is such a badass nickname. Ronandt was a cool dude, but I guess it's their fault for burning down Kumoko's home lmao. Damn, Kumoko Zoa Ele is so fucking huge. Is cute Kumoko shown smaller or it's just that the monsters she was fighting was that bigger. It's evolution time and she's reached taboo lvl 10, oh fuck. Really looking forward to the next episode. |

| So the burnt spider nest in ep. 9 was Kumoko's, the scarf is made of her silk, and the dragon girl was in there as an egg that the humans brought back with them... Also as someone said above, the spider in ep. 6 was "left behind" by her, or at least that's what the characters said so I'm not sure what that means, I hope the details will be revealed in a future episode. |
| What volume the anime is currently adapting? |

Janethan23 said: "What's a matter? Too thinky thinky for ya?" I just love the fact that this anime is actually challenging a good number of viewers to actually think and not be spoon fed information like most animes have done. Some of them are still trying to figure it out when it's already clear as day with some revelations yet to come. It's honestly not challenging at all. It spells everything out pretty blatantly except for the question of "Is Kumoko the demon lord?" |
Zygo5921 said: Ok, Im kinda confused. Do how we see Kumoko and how the humans see her totally different or was it some other spider the old guy and the group were fighting ? Watch after the credits and you’ll get your answer |
Pandol said: I don't get how Shun is a harem protagonist, poor guy being hated wrongfully here because seriously he is not like those harem guys and don't collect girls left and right just chillin with his sister and best buddy from his previous life Except he behaves and is presented as a generic harem protagonist. He is a bland, generic guy without any real personality surrounded by attractive women with practically no effort from his side. Practically all characters, if I don't count Hugo as his rival, are female. You can argue they aren't really attracted to him, but the show doesn't hammer this home, so everyone who didn't read the novel thinks of him as a harem protagonist. Because a lot of things simply makes sense only because you've read the novel |

| So I guess Kumoko is our Demon Lord after this episode's revelations... it sure is a huge twist to the story. Everything is sort of falling into piece now on why the Elf-sensei said skills are bad and also that Wakaba is dead... probably not meant literally dead but she became evil. I'm liking the darker direction this show is heading as I'm sick of friendship winning and prefer the bad guys getting the spotlight.. especially since I gave up waiting for a new Overlord season. This show scratches that itch for me if it keeps going down the same path. Sasuga Kumoko-sama. :P |

Zygo5921 said: I did but they showde the old guy fighting a zoa elle and after the end credit, it shows that kumako was gonna evolve from a zoa elle but im not sure if it was actually her Kumoko was the same spider Ronandt and the others fought this episode. Kumoko’s real form is the one the human saw. The cute little spider we see is how Kumoko perceives herself (also because she can’t look at herself in a mirror). Moreover, after the credits she complained about how her new home was destroyed and burnt (the house we saw Ronandt &co destroying) |
Siegfried10 said: I mean, he was made generic but in his defense he can hardly count being surrounded by "attractive woman" as an achievement or a harem. One of those was a guy (and a best friend of his) in his previous life, one other is his sister, other is a classmate that reincarnated into a dragon, other is a classmate that reincarnated into a religious fanatic and the last one is his former teacher. Considering that most shows actually classified as harem don't have a rating to involve any intimate or meaningful relationship, yet they can be classified as a harem show, then Shun's part of the story can do. If author wanted to avoid harem tropes, she wouldn't make male to female ratio as this show has, and wouldn't have generic audience surrogate guy stealing 50 percent of the show. His best friend is now a hot redhead, and he was attracted to the protagonist even when he was a guy. Little incest never stopped anime logic, neither existence of divinities... and as far as the Internet taught me, the dragon is fine too. |

| "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." |
Siegfried10 said: People wrongly classifying other shows as harems doesnt make this one a harem. A harem show is when there are many girls either in a relationship with the MC or at the very least romantically interested in him. A show with many girls but no romantic interest involved is not a harem. Mondaiji for example has a male MC and three female MCs but its not a harem, as there is no romantic interest among them. If you mean Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo? it has an overpowered cocky protagonist with personality, not a bland audience surrogate, and most importantly, it doesn't revolve around girls following him around, they are all doing their own thing for the most part. As such, it doesn't have the structure of the harem show. This show however has - at least, Shun's 50% is, it's Kumoko what makes the exception. Even manipulative bitch bossing everyone around as the teacher is on screen only when she is around Shun, otherwise, the show totally forgot about her despite how overpowered she looks. |
