| Now that it finished i can say the human part was trash for the full 24 episode, and we are talking about drop tier trash here. At least "next season" will show if it was really a waste of time (if kumoko did nothing for 15 year, it would make sense as story writtingi) and possible Shun retardness who will not understant the forbidden knowledge he just got, i can call it without a second of hesitation |
| Cheating death by using copies huh a novel idea indeed. Sophia's response to the mechs though sure was cool. If anything unlike Shun and co the reincarnates serving the demons had the time to actually develop their skills making them far more deadly opponents. Taboo ended up having quite the price to be paid huh. Kumoko's new bod sure is really something. Quite the increase in vision range as well. Sophia sure managed to avoid death via the use of quite the unique method. Kumoko and Potimas sure didn't match well at all ability wise. Its nice that in the end a truce was agreed between Ariel and Kumoko. Still with this at least we know how Sophia ended up joining the demon army with her trusted protector. As well as where Kumoko stands in the present as well. Overall an interesting ep that did well in both resolving Kumoko's and Sophia's past while leaving plenty of plotlines within the present to continue with in the next season. Overall an 8/10 will be the best score i think. |

| That was a great re-watch. I love how since I knew Kumoko was on the Demon Lord team my support was fully on their side lol. I can't wait to get past the anime portion of the light novel and get onto the adventures of Ariel and Kumoko. I've heard good stuff from it. I love how you always see Ariel and Kumoko together in most scenes. Can't wait for the cute bonding. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| This anime started okay and after the 2nd half it became really good. Very surprised by it. 8/10 |

| Those machines were a lot more useless than I expected. They don't seem much more useful than the elf fodder. Speaking of elf fodder, I really didn't care much for the half-elf girl's death/revival. It also feels like we need more explanation on where this mercy skill came from. At least with taboo Shun might become a little more knowledgable of the world. Hiro's arrival in the present timeline sent chills down my spine. Hiro's fight against Potimas was surprisingly cool. Potimas is more dangerous than I gave him credit for. Shutting down skills/magic and most stats is op. Too bad the machines couldn't do the same. We finally get an explanation with how Hiro and Ariel started working together. Too bad we won't see their journey into war with the humans unless we somehow get a season 2. |

| Aoi Yuuki crushed it as Kumoko, and that first ED is an all timer. It's kind of weird to imagine watching a dub and then it just cuts to Aoi Yuuki's ED as Kumoko. |
| Ugh... What a way to ruin a great concept. How can a show called So I'm a Spider, So What? have so little spider in it? Every time they showed me the idealistic/traitorous humans, I wanted to barf. If I wanted to see a generic fantasy anime with a "Let's Kill God" complex, there are dozens of other choices I could have picked. Also: Started as an 8, by the end it became a low 6. |
| can anyone explain |
| Dawwwg I’m mad af because I never knew the final episode to this had aired. I knew it was delayed, but I didn’t know it came out the following week. I’ve missed this for 8 weeks wtf. As for the episode, my God they should’ve held this until August minimum. The production quantity was abysmal. Felt rushed, looked horrible and just didn’t have any of that magic we’ve come to expect from kumo desu. I’m glad we finally got some clarification on Potimas and the battle lines are now clearly drawn, but I think this was poorly done. I’ll have to get the LNs because I don’t trust this studio to tell this story. Hopefully someone else steps in |

That's not his real body, as evidenced by how he was killed by Sophia earlier and still survived. As for why that body in particular, it's explained in one of the next two novels: |
RaysFTW said: The fact that these people who were good friends meet up for the first time and just think to themselves “okay, I’m going to kill you” without any reason except they’re on team A and the others are on team B is just dumb. There’s no compassion or sympathy whatsoever expressed between any of the classmates and it really pulled me out of whatever immersion the writers were going for. What? Shun and the teacher are 100% trying to be sympathetic (not to mention the dragongirl), to a practically unbelievable degree. They've been in this world for 15 years, almost longer than they were alive in their previous life. How is it logical for someone to have any significant attachment to people they barely knew for little more than a year 15 years ago? If you're talking specifically about team spider; they have very, very good reasons for not appearing to care about their former classmates. Some of which was already explained, and some of which is revealed in the next segment of the story. |
| The overuse of bad cgi was disappointing and the classmate plotline felt boring to sit through (especially since that ended on a cliffhanger just after reuniting with Kumoko), but the energetic Kumoko plotline was fun to watch because of her superb personality and rpg survivaling. I can't wait for the second season to see the rest of the story. |

| i liked this episode even though it was still a bit chaotic, i don't really like this anime that much but ill be definitely waiting for season 2 to come out |

| I hate finales that leave me hanging with unanswered questions! Hopefully, there will be a 2nd season that'll provide answers and closure. However, I did like that the demons were actually the good guys. |

Rokugan said: Personally had no issues with the CGI aspect of it, the show was enjoyable but I honestly could care less about the human side and their struggles. I'm a bit torn about season 2 cause it would basically lose all that fun side about Kumoko being a spider and it would just become even more your run of the mill isekai. The only thing that could make season 2 worth it would be a great story and character development but seeing season 1, I kinda doubt that will happen Lol, the next few novels are very much not run of the mill isekai. I highly doubt there will ever be a season two precisely because of how much not isekai they are. And you never see the human side again until like 5 books later. |
goib1234 said: Wait you must be kidding right now to forget Dustin, Ronnandt, Julius, Aurel, Burimus, some random Adventurers POV, in the LN vol.6-10 (meanwhile anime only covered LN Vol.1-5). They are human too. None of those are Shun's party, and until the Julius novel (which is terrible) they are all extremely short 1 or 2 scene interludes. They obviously don't count. |
| First half was basically what I wanted from Slime Tensei or any other reincarnate as a weak monster series. I preferred the first half and would have liked more like that, but the second half did keep me interested. For once I'm actually feeling like I could see myself picking up the LN. |

| The main thing that made this series so uniquely interesting to watch was Kumoko in her cute spider form. Now that she will stay in her human form it won't be so entertaining anymore. Also, I absolutely hate robots, especially when they take the form of humans. So the last fight wasn't pleasant to watch. But this is still the most entertaining anime that I have seen in a while, so I still like it and am planning to watch a second season if it is made, though I don't care enough for it to start reading the novel. I wish Kumoko would take back the part of her mind that is affecting Ariel, so Ariel would go back to be just Ariel. Now the situation is a bit weird, because it's not clear exactly to what extent Ariel is still being able to think with her own mind. The way how she talked in the end, also considering the other things that she said in other episodes about the enemies that she fought against in the past, makes it really seem like now she is not herself anymore but a copy of Kumoko's mind in another body. So it feels like now there are two Kumoko acting in different bodies. |

| Ariel saved this series, the simple change in personality made watching this bearable. Don't get me wrong Kumoko is a fun character but my interest on her dropped significantly after the first half (particularly after she beat that dragon and made an uncharacteristic rant). And Human/Future segments are just unbearable to watch. The characters are boring and is lacking in personality. The story is stale and is pretty much there just for the sake of world building, not to mention the hero is really annoying. His character is so misplaced, you'd wonder if he actually grew up in that world. Like comeon mate this isnt some fairytale land where your enemies becomes your friend once you beat them. Anyways, the revelation is really good. Id just hope they decided to unveil that information much earlier. |

| I was promised spider isekai, what I got instead was 'I got reincarnated as a generic, goody two shoes hero' , you couldn't pay me to care about anything that happens to any of these characters, I don't even remember their names. Kumoko is the only good thing about this series. |
