      Just a bit this anime has spider chains story immediately after the isekai event with spiders having such a short hatching time and the human story 15 years later. At the end there it was trying to hint hint nudge nudge the demon lord girl might be spider Chan in the future with them both having spider web powers, abyssal magic, and having killed a earth dragon. Another hint and a slap in the face of the time jump is you see the first mercenary’s burning down spider Chana nest early on and stealing the dragon egg she stole, then in a later episode apart of this first half set you see Julius explaining the scarf and the dragon shin has was the result of that mercenary group

      My dude after you finish the anime you HAVE to read the light novel. I sadly doubt they’ll make a season 2 due to how bad the anime performed, but the story gets so much better as it progresses. By the later chapters, the rather simplistic magic/skills system starts to get so complex, and the story gets so many twists, I love it.

    There are two things that go a long way into clearing up certain things that leave the viewer confused about what's going on:
    1. How we perceive Kumoko is how Kumoko perceives herself - as a cute, hilarious, yet a monster that has worked her ass off to become as strong as she is. But how the rest of the world views her is completely different - she's the most terrifying being in the existence of the Elroe Labyrinth, both visually and in terms of power.
    2. The events of Kumoko's story happen ~15 years prior to the events of everyone else's story. This isn't spoiler, either - this is revealed when they discuss the spider silk scarf (the spider silk which was produced by Kumoko) and the wyrm egg which eventually Fei was hatched from. And yes - Kumoko almost ate Fei long before she was born. They made a much bigger deal of this in the LN and how this was a major regret that Kumoko had avoided.

It does a good job of introducing you to the subject matter though, so once you get to read the LN you go back and re-watch the anime, and some payoffs make way more since.

    • @jeremycrouch4356
      @jeremycrouch4356 2 года назад +16

      Her killing Araba wasn't a necessity, he didn't find and attack her intentionally, there was no real reason to kill him. Except, to prove that she could. That she was no longer a weak little monster, and could take on anything if she fought hard enough.
      And when he turns off all his resistances, and just exept his death, throwing away his pride, just baffles her. She doesn't eat him, and she instead ensures there is no body left behind.
      I just like everything about the fight.

    The light novel contained a ton of mystery for the identity of Kumoko. Red herrings galore. Every time you thought you had it nailed, you were wrong. And they definitely didn't do the human half justice. Honestly, with the anime I got annoyed when they switched to humans, but in the LN their parallel story was very interesting and well done. If you heard nothing about the story and didn't watch the anime, it would take you quite a while to find out that Kumoko's story is happening a long time before everyone else's.

    To explain the bad CGI: The main company outsourced the CGI portions to a different company, and what they got back was so bad that they had to re-do it. If you see bad CGI, it's them taking *even worse* CGI and trying to make something good. The unfortunate thing is that you can really see the bad CGI crop up more and more in the latter part of the season. Literally, the company had nothing they could do as it seems like it was a process that was tried and true, and it bit them in this one really unfortunate instance.
    My hope is that they are able to continue animating the show, as the story is *really good*. However, I would also understand if it gets scrapped because of the god-awful CGI that the outsourced company produced. My heart goes out to the main production studio and staff as it sucks to be in that situation, especially since they apparently got a lot of really negative comments about it.

    I loved the fight between Kumo and Araba in the manga. He spared Kumo when she was weak because she wasn't worth the energy to crush. It was mortifying and terrifying for her, she was grateful to be alive but also very bitter of why she was spared. And with pride she developed herself to eventually beat Araba. But after seeing the dragon accepting his fate with satisfaction like an old warrior bested in battle where she herself struggled so hard to live broke her.
    We the audience went on the journey with her and saw every struggle she fought through to be so strong. But it wasn't until that moment when Kumo became so angry and hateful towards Alaba for not fighting harder to survive that I actually felt like I knew what she was feeling.
    She didn't even eat Alaba. She could have just waited for him to die and eat his body like she's always done but she completely removed him from the world. That's how much she hated his decision.

    My first encounter with this series was manga adaptation. It was a great read but didn't understood the hate of light novel readers towards it until i realised when I watched the 1st episode of the Anime.
    Manga follows only kumoko side while Anime and light novel has both her and humans side and so i decided to read the light novel when 4th episode came out.
    This is the 3rd isekai Anime of which i decided to read the light novel and i am very happy to say that I don't regret of reading it.
    I've read it till volume 10 and I'm still very much excited to read next volume of it.
    I've never felt this excited while reading a book.

    I think part of the reason I enjoy this anime so much is that while other anime use cgi as a crutch, this one based the majority of its animation around it and made cgi into part of it’s art style.

    One win for me was the fact that there are Trap skills that seem good, but have major downsides. Appraisal for most people causes major headaches before it will say more than just "rock". I love the "the floor is made of floor" moment. Detection is even worse, AND it replaces all similar skills. The skill system exists, and it was created for a purpose.
    Aoi Yūki really carries the show here - if you know what's actually happening to Kumoko mentally, you can hear the changes in her voice. Plus she gave an incredible performance in the 1st cour ending song. Yes, she sang that in one take.
    Another thing is that there are clues to the future buried in even the early episodes. There are red herrings too.
    And morality in this world is not black and white. Everything is shades of gray.

    Alaba was pretty much the first creature/person Kumoko formed an emotional bond with. He was trully strong, Kumoko admitted it herself, first by pure feelings and then by proper Appraisal and seeing the battle with King Cobra. He also was sapient, he behaved like a "Warrior" (in Ruijerd's sence of the word). So when Kumoko became a strong Warrior herself by repeatedly challenging impossible odds to survive and live with Pride she came to opinion, that trully strong should be like her. She perceived their battle as two entities fighting for survival with their all, she would not hesitate to run if she lost, kill Alaba when he showed a shadow of weakness or other means to win at all cost. When Alaba spend his "life-savings" (the nature of which was not yet revealed to us at the moment of their battle, but both Kumoko and Alaba knew their importance) she took it as confirmation that his worldview is similar. And when he surrendered, she realised the harsh truth - Alaba was not like her at all, he was a "Samurai", he would prefer honorable death to survival at all costs. Their connection and his betrayal was the reason she decided against "preserving" Alaba in herself (by eating the body) and destroyed him completely with Rot. It was a culmination of her first charater ark, it was beautiful in WN, LN and Aoi Yuuki really delivered, though. Good anime, great story and VA, some problems with animation production but I really thinkthey should have chosen the Mushoku Tensei way of handling the novel and made a long anime, to preserve many great things that are in WN and LN.

  • @pirateraider1708
    @pirateraider1708 2 года назад +2

    Love this anime. I've watched through it like 3 times.
    The premise might seem like a hard one to make & keep interesting or exciting, but they pulled it off with authority. You'd think the story line with with the rest of the reincarnated class would be the more interesting part, but the spider girl struggling to survive blows it out of the water. You'd never suspect a spider to be best girl, but she pulled it off. And with all the stuff happening that isn't completely clear at the time, you can rewatch the entire thing and see it in a new light.
    Huge credit to the author(s) for all the great work.

    I hope he gets to the next segment. I loved this anime and every episode I watched diligently with a friend and we had so many genuine freak outs and heavy debates. It was ridiculous in the BEST way.
    This best part is that everyone was born at the same time, the majority of them humans so as everyone else is a struggling infant not even with open eyes yet Kumoko is already like level 40 destroying the dungeon. Hell once she gets out of the dungeon she finds one of her infant schoolmates and legit forces her to walk and fight with strings to make her stronger faster. READ THE MANGA IT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE WE HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE OTHER CLASSMATES AND THE HERO WAS A KID. SO GOOD!!!

    Light Novel Spoilers Below
    -

    -
    -
    6:21 We actually find out later in the novels that it literally is "Divine Retribution" when Shinohara is reincarnated as a non-human. Wakaba Hiiro is basically like an avatar D used to skip out on her god duties to hand around on Earth. The explosion that kills the class was caused by a former Hero and Demon King working together to destroy D. D feels bad for the Earthlings that died, so she reincarnates everyone who died in the other world. D didn't like how mean Shinohara was to Wakaba, so she reincarnated her as a non-human as payback.
    Kumoko's true identity, funny enough, is basically that she's a copy of the memories of Wakaba Hiiro. D didn't want the other gods to get suspicious of why there was 1 less soul reincarnated than the number that died, so she put a copy of the memories she experienced as Wakaba Hiiro in the soul of a spider that was also killed in the explosion (you actually get a POV shot of the spider in the opening scene of the anime), and reincarnated it as a super weak monster in an impossibly dangerous dungeon expecting it to die, and then she would be off scot-free. But she couldn't prevent the spider from getting the special skill that all the otherworlders get (N% I = W), which translates the AI Voice Lady and all Appraisal info into Japanese. The spider got so strong that she decided to let it play out.

  • @noobamonggods2556
    @noobamonggods2556 Год назад +1

    quick question, am I the only one who thinks that "administrator D" is actually the real "Wakaba Hiiro"? If you remember "Okazaki Kanami" (The teacher) said that hiiro was already dead (or never was reincarnated) but the spider is suppose to be Hiiro, Right? But you also have to wonder why is administrator D actually helping this spider out. Maybe Administrator D actually gave this spider her memories and giving her everything she needs to come out on to. She gets to be entertained while she watch the others suffer like she suffered in the real world. Just a thought

  • @seleternal3442
    @seleternal3442 2 года назад +1

    I will just say, as someone who has read the light novel - there is an actual, in story canon explanation for all the game elements in this story, and why they act the way they do - so anything you are seeing that strikes you as "video game like" is really not, its just something not explained until much later in the story.
    There is even a reason for the wars and general fighting in this world, that actually serves a purpose to the world, canonically, itself

  • @Modolvr
    @Modolvr Год назад

    Fun fact from a novel reader. All of the human reincarnations can speak Japanese as well as the local language which they had to learn as babies. This is especially evident in Katia (the redhead girl) who as a former dude speaks Japanese like a highschool guy and Isekai as a noble lady. Thata why her tone of voice sometimes changes dramatically when talking to Shun.
