Kumo desu ga, Nani ka?

The day is as normal as it can be in high school as the students peacefully go about their everyday activities until an unprecedented catastrophe strikes the school, killing every person in its wake. Guided by what seems to be a miracle, a handful of students are fortunate enough to be reincarnated into another world as nobles, princes, and other kinds of people with prestigious backgrounds.

One girl, however, is not so lucky. Being reborn as a spider of the weakest kind, she immediately experiences the hardships of her dire situation. Even so, she must press on to survive the numerous threats that endanger her life. Discovering that her new world has a system like that of an RPG, she tries her best to hunt prey and defeat monsters to level up and evolve. As she gradually grows stronger, she hopes one day her efforts will be rewarded, and that she will be granted a better life.

If you're planning to watch this anime now, be aware that it can be a bit confusing as it contains two parallel storylines—one focusing on the spider protagonist and the other on someone else who was also reincarnated. These different plots tell the story in a mysterious way that really kept me hooked to see where it would all lead. The protagonist and her fun personality are undoubtedly the most entertaining aspects of the anime. However, honestly, that CGI was unbearable—and it seems like everyone here agrees. If you enjoy isekai anime with lots of RPG systems, you'll probably love Kumo desu ga, Nani ka? ... I'm looking forward to the next season.

For me, it's an 8/10 anime.

Mixed Feelings

( Hood Review)

HEADS UP ! This is something you need to know before watching ! This story has TWO DIFFERENT TIMELINES HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME, IT CAN GET CONFUSING!!

The future: the reincarnations are older and start to gather around each other

The past: the main character is leveling up and learning the world

Honestly it was rough, the first 6 episodes felt like i was watching Dora the explorer. Even after, i still felt like this anime was made for a 13 year old.. the main character acts like a 8 year old so it’s hella annoying . But if you can push ... pass that, which is going to be tough for some people it’s pretty decent. The main character fights super bosses that could 1 hit kill them, almost every other episode . So it was giving Elden ring vibes pretty much. People were saying this anime is like the time I got reincarnated as a slime, but for me. It wasn’t even close. Slime is way better, I would love to see an RPG game with the same skill point mechanics, so if you love RPG games you’ll like this, i do recommend this, but it’s plenty better anime to watch . Don’t let that discourage you though. 🤌🏻🫶🏻

Waste of time.
Timelines are all over the place jumping between years without any notion whatsoever, badly interpreted intermissions.
Huge amounts of stuff missing/changed therefore a lot of story doesn't make sense. I get it makes some things mysterious, but at the very least stick to original story ffs.
Director was probably on drugs.
CGs are of extremely bad quality.

Just read the novels because this is show is literaly shitting on a masterpiece.
Overall not recommended to watch.

Supposedly I need more words for this review to go through, but sadly this show doesn't even deserve more than this.
