| Shun's party is really having a hard time against Sophia! oh man! what happened!? why is Kumoko in that form closed eyes in discreet human like form...lolz Potimas getting serious eh...!? 4/5. |
beast_regards said: Of course, it is shounen. Didn't you noticed 13+ rating. Unless you argue that shounen is a genre and not an age category. Let's just ignore all the: - Cannibalism (and I'm not talking about Kumoko eating her siblings or humans) - Slavity - Parricide and Matricide Surprise - The plethora of mental diseases that most characters have Also, you know that American and Japanese ratings aren't the same, right? The novel is rated +13 in America but in Japan it is R15 |
| lol The anime really shrunk the Glorias, in the novel those shits are massive. For size comparisons (Arachne evolution spoiler) Also, the virgin human army fighting the Elf Army. Meanwhile, the chad demon army is fighting this Volume 14 spoiler |
linkhuesitos said: Maruseru93 said: thats it the anime gets from me a 6/10 more does it not deserve i mean robots in a fantasy world? thats so stupid And exactly who said that this is a fantasy world??? Kumoko? Did the story said that she was an omnipotent being that knows everything? There has been hints here and there throught the whole anime... For God's sake, the RPG mechanic is called "THE SYSTEM". In this novel almost everything is foreshadow. SkyLETV said: Whaaaaaaaaat... Why the fuck do elves have a modern command center... and mechas?!!!!!! The truth is in the little details. Yes, the world was originally presented as a fantasy world but there're always oddities that showed glimpses of mordenity. The author has always hated several cliches of most isekais, like how the Medieval world seems to have modern elements for no reason. Proof images hide in spoiler box. The Administrator Güliedistodiez clearly knew what a smartphone was and how to use it The world has modern style glasses The obvious digital effect of some skills The world has modern style swimsuits Puppet Taratects are obviously based on modern style mannequins and their whole body material is also clearly based on plastic, not wood The fake rockwall that was clearly not moved with magic Almost all of your proof are typical anachronism elements in most of the other fantasy animes or fantasy isekai's I watched. I don't think you can blame me or others for thinking these are meaningless details, and that they didn't make this look less "fantasy" like. "The Administrator Güliedistodiez clearly knew what a smartphone was and how to use it" The "Administrators" seems like the equivalent of gods in this world, them using out-of-this-world things doesn't seems weird to me. Also, they being part of the so called "System" really doesn't said anything special, again, it's nothing that I haven't heard before. The same with "Skills", "MA Points", "Skill points", "MP Points", etc. Game like systems or mechanics names, in this type of anime, aren't something rare to see. "The world has modern style glasses" A typical anachronism. "The obvious digital effect of some skills" I mean, it seems like magic, doesn't really say anything to me either just because it use squares or seems "digital". "The world has modern style swimsuits" Another typical anachronism. "Puppet Taratects are obviously based on modern style mannequins and their whole body material is also clearly based on plastic, not wood" It also could be any other white material or be painted white (or... another anachronism), but I have no problem with this point, it's indeed something out of the usual. "The fake rockwall that was clearly not moved with magic" To be honest I don't remember what are you pointing here and I don't really want to go back and find it, so I have nothing to say about it. "The author has always hated several cliches of most isekais, like how the Medieval world seems to have modern elements for no reason." That sounds nice, and I appreciate it, I'm also tired of these things, but as far as this show goes, I didn't feel like this was any different. With that said, it may be just me that I'm influenced by a lot of the fantasy/isekai anime where those details doesn't mean anything, but hopefully I was able to explain why I didn't like at all those mechas and computers that came apparently out of nowhere in the middle of an elven "forest " in the middle of a swords and magic fight. And to close: I'm a anime-only viewer, so I don't really care about what the novel or the manga show, I only care about what the anime showed to me. I just wanted to clarify this because I don't like when people try to justify thing because it was showed or was better explained in other media. (Not saying that this was your case, just something I wanted to comment about). |

I was just pointing out that unlike the anime with all these stupid confusing time jumps the manga has a consistent time line 2. why is the manga crappy? Jumping from past to present to future without explaining anything is good story telling in your opinion? The manga is crappy because it literally leaves out half the story, not to mention the terrible character designs (Kumoko looks like an ant, Wrath looks nothing like he's supposed too, and Don't even get me started on ) If you actually pay attention the time skips are not difficult to figure out in the least. |
| we only get one episodes left and this one didn't even include the main character. and Shun pulled the power of friendship crap. and they brought machine technology into this world? wtf. priyankakarki said: I couldn't understand why Ariel and Kumoko are getting along now. How did that even happen? In the last episode, we see that Ariel uses magic and Kumoko sorta disppears. And now suddenly they're together going for the elf village. Can anyone help me understand the flow? And why is she human now? I want to tell you about that, but it will considered a spoiler. you can look it yourself in Kumo desu ga wikipedia about who is the woman in white that follow Ariel the entire time. |

It just makes more sense how the manga did it at least to menightcrawlercyp said: Don't worry they will add later on next episode.If I did not read the manga until last translated chapter as of now or had a knowledge of the LN there is almost no chance to understand the two timelines from that clusterfck that was the last 4 episodes. About leaving out half the story ... the manga is not done yet, maybe they will add the other half in its PROPER TIMELINE! Part 01 : Part 02 : Part 03 : Basically this season just telling us how two different POVs or timelines connect each other then leave some hints and questions at same time while we must wait S2 to answer that or read through LN next chapter. In future of Kumo's Manga, i guess it will content some of LN Vol.6. |
| ffuck this , i want season 2 as soon as possible !!! |
| Wtf, Potimas owned Mecha unit? Whats goin on there? Well, the way Ariel talks to Wrath kinda give me an idea of their real deal there. Potimas was their real target. Poor Hugo, after gettin beaten easily like that, he got dumped hard by Sophia. Idk if those demon butler killed him, though, maybe its just incapacitating him. Still, the way they kept all of those information as a secret, even among their old reincarnation friends, like Wrath to Shun for example. It can't help me but felt wrong as the result. Why they didn't tell them straight away? The reason is for a plot sake, you silly. Still, i feel bad for a seconds to Shun's party there, more importantly for the sensei. They knew nothing, yet, still forced to be in the middle of the emptiness. That's being said. The 3g battle still crap as always. Finally the woman in white got some dialogue there. Its definitely Yuuki Aoi. Even at those little and hazy sound i can understand right away its Yuuki sound. Then how they end the Kumoko's timeline with all of those mess? I have no idea and it may lead to a perfect dissapointing cliffhanger for their finale. So, lets see how they handle all of those shit next week. Finger crossed! |

NoviSun said: That Sophia is one little hot blood sucker! Loved her time in the spotlight. OMG, it took me way too long to realize that she was that baby. |
| Honestly, that was the best human episode so far, I expect the last episode to be mainly focused on Kumoko, so all the people who only watch for Kumoko, look forward to that. I'd take this kinda decent looking CGI anyday than whatever the fuck 2D animation we got before. Shun is the annoyingly cliche heroic mc and that is the point, he's meant to be like that, he's meant to be our Walmart Julius lmao. I loved Sophia destroying their power of friendship though, what a savage. And pretty interesting that Merazophis is a vampire now and he's a fucking commander. Kyouya finally makes his appearance as Wrath the 8th commander of the Demon Army, he seems really cool. Holy shit we mecha now, and people say mecha is dead. I wonder how Potimas was able to get these machines, Potimas is still one big mystery. I really hope we get a season 2, with better production hopefully. Really looking forward to the season finale. |
| This was a disappointing episode because they didn't show the second part of the Ariel vs Kumiko fight. Plus the CGI was bad. They really must want us to hate the human side. The humans have the worst animation and they didn't work to make them interesting characters. It feels like filler whenever the human part comes in, and it shouldn't since they play a role in the story. I hope the CGI and animation are off b/c they're saving everything for the final episode. |
| Hello, hello.... I don't want to make it out the fake. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| My eyes have been assaulted. This anime is all over the place. The manga has to be better, right? |
| fantastic . annoying characters fighting annoying who-the-fuck-are-you-? characters . just what i wanted . one more ep and we done with it . i hate myself for getting my hopes up of this getting any better in any department....... barely know who is fighting who for what reason . painfully thinking back on it , i guess the only interesting thing this anime did was the different timeline reveal eh .... and everything that followed it was pretty much shit as well. |

Guess you didn't understand that the one who's fighting Shun is actually the baby saved by Kumoko and the 4th demon commander is the same guy who appears with Sophia's father. |
| God, I wouldn't mind the bad animation in this series if the framing of everything wasn't so jarring. Whoever storyboarded this needs to go back to basics because they failed miserably, imo. The fights and back and forth dialogue is framed so weirdly that it's distracting, and the timing of the animation itself stutters in places that only accentuates the issue. I've made it known plenty of times over the course of this series that I don't care for the human bits - even if they have worldbuilding plot points in them - but this episode really solidified my disinterest in all of it. Props to Sophia for calling out his stupid hero act. I can appreciate the blatant callout of generic tropes. It made me hopeful the series took the bait and someone just straight up killed Shun to shut him up lmao The threads for this series are a mess, which really shows you how much this adaptation failed to properly portray valuable information. If people need to bring citations from the VN to explain something in the series it did not do a good job, and it's not the viewers job to to piece together information that isn't provided within the context of an adaptation to fill in important gaps. There were plenty of times I felt things didn't need a cliffhanger and, if paced properly, would have only taken half the screen time. I'm really hoping for a season 2 because I still really liked Kumoko and the overall story it was trying to tell but gosh do I hope, however unlikely, that another studio handles it. |

| And now we are at the decisive point. If a second season isn't announced next week or soon after this adaptation will be meaningless, specially with this godforsaken animation during the second cour. I was wondering how much of the "future" war they were going to show but, they went as far as show Gloria in this season, they really shouldn't have. No matter where next episode ends it won't have a satisfying stoping point. I was ok with leaving the Taboo reveal as a cliffhanger to next season but idk about what they're doing... And they've cut a lot of best girl Katia moments so there's also that. At least best girl Sophia was a badass and put Shun in his place I suppose, it was nice hearing it be voice acted, but a dram cd would suffice.... But seriously, if we don't get a second season this would be a waste of time. Man it was entraining to read everyone's reaction to mecha. Instead of calling garbage I was driven to know wtf is going on, but given how the anime handled it I can relate a little. But yeah fantasy world? Lol nope. Shame you'll have to wait for season two for actual answers. Haaaa, they really shouldn't have shown mechas in this season.... Oh well. |
| Well, that was a clusterfuck of information with lots of poor explanation. Last few episodes have been extremely rushed and the ex-arm levels of GCI makes me want to puke. |
groudonvert said: Because there's no explanation in the LN at this point either. The explanations come later. They aren't going to explain shit. It's one episode remaining. They failed to explain even the basics about the world before they rendered it utterly irrelevant by sudden genre shift despite wasting half of the runtime on morons that were supposed to provide that information at least according to LN readers. They failed to explain the teacher's skill delete power in more than 10 episodes, and entirely forgot it existed as it did its job to trigger the conflict, and they will forget about everything else too. This show practically relies on making worldbuilding a "mystery" to rewrite itself on demand. |
| Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world. |
| last 3 episodes were crap... |
| I really like the future/present day episodes. I used to get a bit confused when they'd switch from the cave to the class room until they made it clear that it was 2 different points in time. I think the girl in white is our little spider in human form. |

Even if they followed character by character the LN, never they would have finish the season with a proper ending. How is that even possible with how finishes the Prolepsis in LN5 ? They skipped a lot of stuff for the sake of not ending anything properly. If they needed to skip stuff taboo reveal and/or Kumoko evolution would have been good stopping points. And if they skipped less they could have ended right before the war(s). This kind of story does need a second season anyway, but the way they're doing is questionable. The bad thing is that I actually understand why they're doing this this way, but still. |
