Kumo Desu ga, Nanika?

Honetly, imdb has this show at a 6.7 and I am confused.

Sure, Isekai's are being churned out at an alarming rate, sure, there's at least several coming out at the same time, sure, the anime isn't as good as the manga, (ill get back to this)

but really though this show is delightful. Its thrilling, creative, engaging, cute and hilarious. Its the only show I managed to even find a will to actually follow this season (aside from attack on titan), but not only did I follow this one, I went off and read the manga.

I gave it an 8. but I enjoy it like a 9.

back to the manga, which is important because the anime took a different route and added all this content about the other characters aside from the protagonist and well its dreadful. I get why they are doing it, but honestly I would rather watch a stripped version of the show without them. Its stealing time from the main character who is a precious sparkling gem.

This show reminds me of "Bofuri: I dont want to get hurt...", its cute and charming, zero-to-hero isekai power gaming. Though obviously there are difference but I love them both so much so.

I could go off about some later spoilers to help sell it which would be worth it, but ill say instead, the game mechanics are more than just cool (and broken) but very interesting, they lead to truly fascinating ideas and concepts. The show also has a few philosophical elements.

Enjoy : )

I really enjoyed this show and honestly I wasn't bothered to much by the CGI as it was good for the most part.

The premise of the show is really simple. You have a group of students that are reborn into a new world as different people/creatures. The main character becomes a spider voiced by Aoi Yuki.

And I really have to say that Kumoko (our main character) is the one carrying the show because of how good the voice actress does her job. She also is the singer of both ending songs and they are both also amazing (I really love the second ending).

The writing is pretty solid when it comes down to what Kumoko does. Unfortunately the other characters and stories are a bit boring but they are necessary for world building and to drive the story forward. This show has 24 episodes in season one and I had a lot of fun watching them even with the weaker episodes that centered around the side characters.

I'd really love to see a season 2 as season 1 left us on a big cliffhanger.

One thing I need to mention is that towards the last few episodes there are some issues with pacing and the animation. My guess is that they ran into budget issues. Still in my opinion it doesn't damage the overall experience and that is a pretty wild ride...

It's what the title says. Normally don't rate shows underway (14 episodes in), but so far a 9 is is the enjoyment I got out of it.

Wonder if it can possibly get better this season...

As I read on a previous review. I don't think is as bad as the IMDB score make it out to be . As up to now on the 4 episode the IMDB score was 7.1, I personally gave it an 8, is funny and a little weird, but is entertaining. Without going into any spoiler, love the spider character, fast talker, fast thinker and funny. Estrange, but also love the end credit animation especially the punk rock part. I use IMDB a lot, usually I rank about the same as IMDB users, that's why I thrust it so much, but once in a wile I have to disagree and this is one of those times. Just finished episode 5, I'm still holding on to my 8 rate.

I really enjoyed the first 3 episodes. Yeah the cgi isn't the best. But its pretty funny.
