| At this point the animation is past saving. Idk how many years it has been since i saw something that bad. They will probably fix it for the blue rays but still such a disapointment |
| Shun's thoughts on Hugo: "Are you really too far gone?" Stop asking questions when you abandoned him and avoided interacting with him because you didn't want to deal with him.

On that note, I know a lot of source readers wish the anime would've done things differently (both quality and story), .... A lot of mystery in this series that I doubt we’ll get explained in two eps, so after two seasons of promo, I have decided to read the books. .. |

| I strongly doubt Kumoko was killed by Ariel. I think, based on how it was shown, that she was teleported away, perhaps by Admin D. Perhaps because Admin Two Horns intervened to help Ariel (by both spilling the beans on Kumoko and providing Ariel with a teleporting Uber to fight her) D felt that it was OK to help Kumoko in return. I think the most interesting bit of the episode was the disclosure of the ongoing merging of Kumoko's Body-chan with Ariel's soul or mind. That would explain how on Earth present day Ariel knew that the new Hero Schlain used to be Shunsuke Yamada in his previous life despite not being a reincarnation but an "ancient being", and even seemed to care about what might happen to him. That part confused me quite a bit a few episodes back. That would suggest that present day Ariel did not manage to get rid of Body-chan and thus technically is Kumoko, in part anyway. Yet Kumoko's Body has probably not taken over fully, hence her present day rivalry with White-Pink Lady Kumoko (this one must be Kumoko, in full, right? I mean her design is almost identical to how spider Kumoko imagines herself to be, and we know she is a Taratect as well) according to Admin Two Horns. As for the CGI battle sequences they are still atrocious; it's very clear that Millepensee (or whichever studio they subcontracted the CGI sequences to) do not know how to do CGI and yet keep on doing it. The CGI of Kumoko is equally crappy with the CGI of the last two seasons of Berserk (that was all CGI, not just the battle sequences), minus the revolting constant shading lines on faces(...), which was also done by Millepensee. The problem is less with the renderings themselves, which are not horrible, but with their animation (i.e. the movement of the frames), which is both unnatural and has very few frames per second (up to 5 or so I think). |

| When our girl Kumoku is on da screen I never notice the 3dcgi... but when those humans take over.. its as if I can't unsee the cgi.. |
 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. |
| For goodness sake which studio was in charge of the part b (and all episode 21) of this episode?! My eyes are bleeding since then! I can't believe I'm saying this, but Arifureta was incharge of a better studio. |
My candies:  |
| Somehow, I keep underestimating how bad the animation is before an episode. I always think “it wasn’t as bad as thought it was when I completed the episode,” only to watch the next episode and think “yep, it was as bad as I thought it was.” I honestly have no idea why I continue to look forward to this anime given the attrocious animation and lackluster narrative. I guess it is because Kumoko is entertaining, the world is somewhat interesting, and watching Kumoko level up is satisfying. Really a shame this adaptation sucks. |
| WHY only Ariel is full CGI meanwhile the normal human next to her is 2d wtfff my eyes hurts she was normal before now the animation is getting weirder T_T |
 |
| Sometimes the quality takes a dip before the finale because they spend more time and resources on the last couple episodes. However, "dip" doesn't seem like the right word to describe what happened to the animation here, more like "fell off a cliff". I usually tolerate bad animation, after all it's not the studio's fault if they don't have enough budget, but this was just god awful. Like, not only were they obviously unable to animate properly, it's like they purposefully designed scenes to show off how bad their animation was! |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| The only part of this episode that was worth it to watch was definitely the Kumoko part, even tho that Shun looked like a small and fatter version of himself lol The 2nd half was one of the worst CGI I've seen in a while. 2 episodes left and now Kumoko "died", i do hope those 2 next episodes will be a blast. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| HOLY SHIT... this episode is 10/5, so beautifully and perfect with God-Tier Animation/CGI. Incredible. |
| something about kumoko was like 10 times more annoying that usual was like bruh shut up for once second lol this show is 100% ending on a huge cliffhanger and it's gonna be the typical fuck you go read the books |
 |
| oh damn! Ariel and Kumoko finally clashed! so awesome!!! but man! Ariel is too OP! pls nerf her! lolz 5/5. |
 |
| Kumoko the on site reporter huh. Its so amusing seeing her just cheer on both sides though. Ariel being compelled to eat by Kumoko's influence though sure was curious. Still that that did make her motivation for fighting Kumoko that much more interesting. Those poor soldiers though being used as food while being in battle. Seeing Julius as a child though sure was an interesting experience. Even as a child his desire to serve sure was apparent. Hugo's stats are all over the place but the sheer amount of skills he has would make him a tricky opponent. Looking forward to seeing how the fight between Schlain and Hugo plays out. Given his attitude diplomacy was never going to work against him anyway. Overall a balanced ep that showed well the long foreshadowed battle between Ariel and Kumoko and boy that was fun. Looking forward to seeing how Schlain fares against Hugo. |

| Shota joke. Tyvm, Kumoko. I hope its help you out of those misery. But, who the heck throw those giant fireball, i wonder? Oh wow, by having body soul parallel inside Ariel own soul, its really benefit Kumoko well enough there. Since the demon lord way of thinking has been mixed up by Kumoko's carefree mind, the stalemate has been form, and she decided to not killing Kumoko like her previous high intentions before. Well, what a twist, didn't see that coming before. Thats kind of giving me the idea of why they both in one side at the current Shun's timeline. But, i'm still curious how Kumoko get that humanoid form. Is it because the next other evolution of Kumoko? Then whats their true objective? I still don't quite understand, and hope its concluded well enough before the show end. That's being said. Even though the 3dcg always horrible to believed, and the fight scene really dissapointing to be seen. They are still at a solid focus having all of the benefit to perfecting art and animation for Kumoko only. Its like those colorful spider is the only shit thing that shine around those full ehh 3d animations. Then me, like those one of the poor nameless knights, waving hand behind a transparent cloud, don't know what else to say in response to how heavy-dissapointed the use of 3d on this episode.... Lets see next! |

| Really great episode! That intro was a thing of beauty lmao. You can really tell which part the studio loves the most. The Kumo side this episode was fantastic and we got to see more Ariel, while the human side looks like ballsacks lmao. That explains why Ariel seems more laidback in the present time, Body Brain mixed with her soul, that's honestly awesome. That fight with Gakia was great. Bruh, those poor soldiers getting caught up in Ariel and Kumoko's battle, rest in pieces soldiers. Little Julius though, really confronted 2 literal monsters. Then we have budget Julius over there in the present timeline looking wack lmao. I am guessing Hugo to a certain extent is being brainwashed as well. Really looking forward to the next episode, 2 more to go. |
 |
| plenty of action in Kumoko part, then move to human part where they just talk and talk and talk until the episode end. lol extra stats from the queen taratect made Kumo a lot tougher. Still at a disadvantage, but she can fight better with the demon lord now. almost at the final.. but this anime still has not motivated me to buy anything. Well, I guess that's money saved. |
| This anime really just coasts on Aoi Yuuki's performance. She is absolutely fantastic and the amount of clever jokes they manage to make with Kumoko is commendable. But animation quality aside, the writing is just so all over the place that it's hard to enjoy anything that doesn't involve her. |
| the drop is soon. I cannot wait to see how it all links together. its sure to be jaw dropping and im loving every second of it |
_tatsuya_ said: at some point, I just stopped caring about the cgi. the storyline is so interesting that I just said fuck it and my bod dont care bout the cgi in this show anymore igYes. As much as I like the story, the entire animation threw me off with that really bad CGI. |
LustrousParadox said: at some point, I just stopped caring about the cgi. the storyline is so interesting that I just said fuck it and my bod dont care bout the cgi in this show anymore ig If you think it's interesting now, you need to read the light novels. A lot was cut, and we're only at volume 5. This ending, though, is gonna have you screaming for more lmfao. Let me just leave you with this extremely spoilery picture of the volume 6 cover. |

You can build bonds or start feuds. Even if you do neither, you can still learn the personalities of others and act based on it. There's also dance parties, tea parties, and so much more that nobles and royals host. |

| LOL, So the Divine Beast Ariel got corrupted by Kumoko. Ariel was fairly chill as she was a Divine Beast, but after getting her thought process merged with Kumo... RIP, Ariel now has a taste for destruction and eating others... (Ariel is pure evil now I guess, even tho she was already partly evil with Demon Lord title from way back then) Also, looks like they hinted on the Hero title have attributes to fight against those with Demon Lord titles. So do Kumo actually wants Hugo to die? or is this an unexpected accident? hmm... (tho... it doesn't explain how Julian with Hero title gets easily killed by WhiteHairGirl (unless somehow she doesn't have a Demon Lord title... even tho she has Abyss magic) (since looking at Kid-Julian, not even Ariel attempts to use Abyss magic on him as it looks like he could resist it or something, but it doesn't as Adult-Julian got killed by it) Not to mention, apparently Hugo is missing his memories? did Kumo or Ariel ate his mind too and give him that Demon Lord title? (cause it feels like it) And it also makes me think... was Hugo this way since the beginning, or was he already somehow corrupted and memory stolen by Kumo/Ariel to become this cray-cray... ___ ___ ___ Either way, I am still more interested in Spider side adventure, cringy at times, but more fun to watch than the Human adventure that's pretty much just pure drama at this point. Other thing, Elf Sensei mentioned the Gods (Admins) summoned them so they can kill the reincarnate and gain power... I wonder if that's true and does Kumo know about it... pretty much everyone is being used by the Admins or D in this case as a huge long term reality show entertainment until the world ends. |
