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. 🤌🏻🫶🏻

Could have been really good or something more I would say. The first few episodes were enjoyable regardless of me not really caring about the shun and other humans. The CGI was bearable at the start but does it goes downhill real fast, the last few fight scenes actually gave me eye cancer. The movements are so ass, the robots are turbo ass. The pacing is also absolute garbage. The original light novel has 16 volumes and by the end of 24 episodes we are almost at the ending already?? HUH??? I was so surprised when some endgame shit showed up like we didn't get ... to see shit. Terrible execution of a good source material overall. I am hoping this get a remake since I really enjoyed the light novels.

Overall : Enjoyable first few episodes, turbo ass as it progresses(especially the last parts oh boy, this shit is comparable to berserks 2016 level: note ofc they are by the same studio LMFAO). Terrible pacing, if you are interested in the story or just have some level of respect to the author just read the light novels.
