I shall keep it short:
Positives: Female MC has a new kind of charakter. I can't rely point it out. She is a mixture of sadist, shy and a 5 year old boy with confused feelings.
Thats basically it. There is nothing else positive.

Negatives:
-The Author hopes you identfy as a huge beta-virgin that craves so badly for a girls touch that you would let her do anything. Why assume something horrible like that? Well the male MC is that. No exaguration here.
-The plot is nonexistend it is only "Male MC gets harrassed by female MC that sort of has a fetisch for male MCs tears", some sort ... of endearment or romantic interest is not realy there, she just gets flusterd whilst beta-virgin oversteps boundaries where he would get a lawsuit for sexual harrassment.
-There are only 4 charakters in the first 5 Episodes. Male MC, female MC, one stereotypical bully girl that looks sort of like Haruko from FLCL and a parrot disguising itself as a girl.
-The music is sort of bland and you can basically smell the same thing approaching from a mile away.
-Art is nothing special
-Else not realy much more because there is not much more in the show.

If you realy like the bullying part and see it as a sort of endearment I recommend Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san, basics are the same that a girl bullies a boy however there are worlds inbetween.

The anime looked mostly good. So good, that I picked up the manga because I wanted to see more.
Maybe I shouldn't have done that because it ruined the Anime for me. Mostly because the stappeld on story about the other classmates looks now worse then before.
Why you might ask? Well in the Manga it does not exist. (yet)

The Story about the humans was already quite boring. I see they try to do some Game of Thrones stuff with intrigues and whatnot however this does not work with stereotypical harem charakterisation.
You might notice that I dislike the Human Charakters quite a lot. I dislike them so ... much that I force myself not to skip their parts.

I noticed the timeskip between the spiderstory and the humanstory quite early. And all the red-herings that where added where also very noticable. (I reference the Hero party killing a strong spider and the Demonqueen)

The worst behind this review I shall now go into the more interesting stuff: Everything about Spidergirl.
Charakter: Since she is mostly alone or has noone to talk to her charakter has to be interesting and entertaining. That she most certainly is. I like her. The addition of multiple personalities also works very well and gives a neat new spin for a reason that she wins so often, even though she is weak.

Pacing and Story: I shall compare with the manga. The manga as a medium gives better opportunities to explain her thoughprocesses compared to the anime and since she mostly is thinking it works better. However the pacing of the story is better in the anime. I will only give one comparison there are much more though.
After our lovely Spider wanders the lava caves she has to big encounters with Firedragons in the Manga both are quite drawn out battles and - I think - the first one was very boring.
In the anime both encounters are sort of mixed together to one and made thus better.
However there is one big bad thing about the story: She gets saved to often through levelup or a skill she just picked up.
After Episode 12 or so the animestory skips some of the main beats where the manga got better with the writing. Like the fight against the spiderpuppet and the human encounters.
I just hope I do not get mystery-boxed again, because I kinda have a bad feeling.

Continuity errors: There are a lot of them. And I mean A LOT of them. I will exclude the errors from the Humanstory because there are to much to count from there. Also I am not interested in them so I do not care about those.
-There are visual ones like Spidermom looks totally different in EP1 and EP15.
-There are logical ones like Dragons and Spidermom are portraid as highly intelligent, you might say geniuses however that is only for combat purposes, else they are just savage animals.
-There are blatend ones like every appraised person/animal acts as if they do not notice; however when spidergirl gets appraised she feels a sharp sting, she even flinches. That comes never up again.

Endword: The manga only imporved over time and I hope that this also applies to the anime, however there are signs.... I realy love my little spidergirl, don't ruin her...
Also I ignore the human/classmate story parts, skip it, it's worthless junk.


Edit:I finished the series and I have to correkt some things.
Story:
-Spiderpart gets from good to mediocre
-Humanpart gets from bad to extremly annoying.

Art:
Later parts becomes extremly bad. 2D art is very lacking and they added quite bad 3D parts. Also there are more and more cuts where I could not follow any fight.

Characters:
-Spiderpart is just a bit worse
-Humanpart .... whoever came up with them should never work at any creative job ever again. Shame on you and your family!

"I'm immortal!" he screams as he tries to hype himself up and hopes that the audience is a 12 year old boy that is also getting hyped.

I will keep it short, just like my patience. So I will adress only the points that annoyed me the most that made me stop watching.

1) The humor wears thin. Same jokes over and over again. The same ones like in season 1. I guess it works well with memeculture.

2) Also I never liked the huge food-fetish of animes which goes over the top here. hinna hinna and whatever eating the same thing they did 3 episodes ago. ... At least show different dishes of the Ainu-culture. (On a side-note this feels sort of insulting to the ainus, with what japan did to them. However I shall not pass judgement since I only know a sliver what was going on there...)

3) The charakters are all some mentally ill wierdos without any lack of sense and only one catchphrase. They feel more like caricatures or more like the author had one post-it note for everyone and used the space for only the face.

This is my first review so be gentle, sempai.

*obligatory ' I read the Manga/ I'm still at it ' * The adaption is quite well done. However the movement seems like a 10fps gif.

I shall keep it short and mildly spicy, just like the show. At least the "mildly spicy" part.

I also do some mild spoilers. Nothing really big though because nothing really big happens.

Do not expect some highly intellectual or well thought out romance or complex story.
It's a RomCom where the MCs get together after a few episodes. After that the focus lies on the very mild problems that occur. Such as a ... nonsensical fight here or the or some friends having feelings and such. Also the MCs smooch sometimes, which is a nice change to the regular RomComs where there is only one kiss in the end.

Generally the story gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling in my stomach, like the mildly spicy food I just ate.
If you are feeling down and you do not want to do so anymore you might want to give the show a try. At least it helped me quite a bit. That is also the mainreason why I gave it such a high score.
