So I'm a Spider, So What? (light novel)
Viljami9799 said: The spider girl is so annoying it makes the show a 5 at most for me. Blazt_ said: I don't think the visuals are that bad. I mainly dropped the show because of the annoying main character. Ya, in the manga most of the dialogue is just the main character talking/thinking to himself. I love the manga and was pretty surprised and excited when they announced a adaption. Unfortunately this was the result. It would have been amazing if they've gotten a bigger budget for the show. Then we would be able to look forward to a bigger audience which means more merch being made. |

| Ratings are slowly going up btw. so more ppl enjoy the show as it goes on. Still underrated for sure though. |
| Main character annoys me, plus the bad CGI, so I don't think it's underrated. In fact, I think the score it has right now is pretty generous. Also, the side characters feel bland, hopefully it will get better in future episodes. |

| Frankly, I think the visuals are enough justification to be turned off the show. I was curious enough to check out the LN’s after watching the first few episodes and its fair bit more enjoyable. The anime changes the order of events on the human sides or outright skips scenes entirely which I think hurts the series in the long run. I’ll still check out the anime after I’m done reading, though. |
| Part of the reason why I rated this anime so high early on was the discernible potenial already apparent from episode one. How we were introduced to this story made it clear that this would go somewhere. And imo it didn't betray my expectations, the human time-line is getting more intriguing with each episode. But well, what really makes this my favorite new anime this season is Kumoko. She's outstanding as an isekai protagonist. Her personality is just so fun and I can't see myself getting tired of it anytime soon. And I actually don't mind the CGI, imo it even adds some charm. |

| Many episodes are the MC upgrading by fighting monsters, and the repetition of combat performances is much and boring. There are only bright spots in the MC's stand-up comic, but some people will still feel bored. |

I think the anime followed the story of the lightnovel in this show and some lightnovel reader say that the lightnovel is better than the manga Im not sure though because I didn't read the lightnovel |
| Im a Manga reader and Webnovel Reader. Im into 3 episodes and think of skipping it. I especially like this isekai, because it has a great world building and its one of the rare cases where the isekai system is explained later on and kind of makes sense. 99% of the other isekais never even bother to reason the isekai setting and refrain from being a normal Fantasy, because its just the thing right now. If you lable something isekai, it is likely to get views compared to normal fantasy. This one here actually belongs to this 1% category. Though I dont like this adaptation. # Reason 1: Skips. If the world building and the character development isnt there, how can you get attatched to them? Now they feel like simple clichee rip off chars of every other anime youve already seen. Well thats also the reason why books will still be a thing in 1000 years, though you may read them through an inner eye interface. Or maybe you can drink them through a Nano robotor shake altering your brain? Who knows.. # Reason 2: Atmosphere: It was way more frightening for Komu to survive in the big monster cave. Now its just a slapstik festival. Thats why many users got annoyed by her and I cant blame them. # Reason 3: CGI. It will never work for an audience, who grew up without CGI. The only time it makes sense if you either use it for background stuff or you really spend money, but of course nobody can afford this. The spider itself doesnt even look bad, but the frogs and everything else did. Without question. # Reason 4: Focus. The manga is at chapter 50 something and non of her class mates even appeared until then. Just one female classmate when she was still a baby. In the anime basically (I dont know how old they are here) 10 to 13 (?) years are skipped. Maybe this will be solved through the typical backflashes, but it already feels off. I personally find the rating accurate. Its not bad, but I also would rate it something between 6 and 7. Maybe Ill come back to it and the direction will actually become better, but I have my doubts. |

| You have to take into account that this anime is still at the beginning and the true plot is only just beginning with the human side with the hero and demon stuff happening in the background. The LNs also start slow but they’re worth it for the buildup. If I dropped every anime at the start because it was boring then I’d have dropped one piece within its first 60 eps which I found boring as well as attack on titan half way through season 1. Just give this anime a fair chance. It is my favourite light novel series and I’ve read quite a few including slime and rezero. |

| I dropped it a few episodes ago. I normally avoid isekai because of how generic they are and tend to have tropes I can't stand. Mushoku Tensei is the prime example of having tropes that really turn me off to iseaki. Plus I'm just not the target audience for iseaki that are mostly catered to male otakus. but I thought Kumo desu ga would be different. female mc instead of a degenerate male mc, and she's a spider. SO I thought it would set it apart of other iseaki. But the CGI is just awful. The human characters are so damn boring. I just don't have the patience to wait "for it to get better". Not when I can watch plenty of other anime out this season or other anime on my watchlist. And I think there are gonna be a lot of people out there like me, who just don't have the patience to keep watching this anime. Maybe if Re-Zero, Slime, and Mushoku Tensei weren't also airing this season, Kumo desu ga might've gotten more attention too. |
| This show is fantastic. People calling it a slime isekai rip-off - dude, rimuru went from a normal slime to OP in like 2 episodes. This spider is getting her ass beat till now. Btw slime isekai is more of a world building type show unlike this one. Till now, I don't see any similarity between them except for the first episode. Secondly, the protagonist is amazing. People who are calling her annoying- What do you want a mute protagonist who does not say anything the entire time? Bruh, 80% of the show is literally kumoko's solo adventures. Of course she is talking to herself. You don't want to turn this into a silent anime, do you? As for the other human characters, I think that as time passes by and we learn more about them, they might grow on us. Right now we have very little information to say anything about them. |

I thought we got another Berserk ( or maybe Ex-arm). But the CGI animation is really well done,imo. I said this before, it has become a trend of shitting on good things.... |

We are usually talking about -3 to -5 points. And I have tried watching the more reputable ones as well. I watch them and can't at all see why they should be rated in the 8 to 9 range. The same with most romcoms and harems, maybe slightly less so but still. Yeah, I don't give much weight to visuals and soundtracks. I think I have at least been consistent there. The characters and world-building are closely connected to the plot anyway, but sure, to be more complete it's better to use the word "narrative," for example. That said, I like a strong focus on plot; that is true. |

Ah, so stuff like Slime isekai, Shield Hero, etc., didn't really like either of those shows either. i don't know if i'm picky or if there simply are barely any good isekai coming out nowadays. |

CGI is alright for the majority of the anime tho some of it is terrible, like the monkeys. Also yeah slime isekai is entirely different and I love the protag and the human side starts to get interesting as well. |
jmstructor said: Hero_Luka said: CGI is alright for the majority of the anime tho some of it is terrible, like the monkeys. They are doing a pretty good job with the CGI, moving around in a 3d space, dynamic camera angles, etc. It gives the show a little bit of a tactical feel sometimes. They could have maybe played into that by having a healthbar or something on screen during kumoko's segments instead of the dramatic healthbar that doesn't mean much showing up randomly. The miscellaneous CG animations are often missing a little bit, but its one of the downsides of CG that you can't just throw a single midframe in between start and end and have it look okay. I really liked the monkey fight, its perhaps her only fight that really felt tough, but maybe Arifureta and Overlord 3 have desensitized me to CGI. Oh god not overlord, that still has me scarred. But hell at least its no Berserk 2016. |
