It's like a cheap indie videogame with a long ass forced tutorial. There's no mid nor end goal for Kumoko, it's all about surviving, and at this point it feels more like a chore to watch a spider CG just "power grind" levels and get a bunch of skills for posible future uses. Plenty of people from the comic fandom despise characters like Superman because he can do everything better than any other superhero can do because of his large skillset. This series is more oriented to a more niche demographic that want a videogame like farming show. People that expected a greater narrative with a more open world kind of adventure already left because this is not it. Seven episodes is a long ass time for a prologue/tutorial section. I pretty much agree with Mr. Cowell. This show is pretty mid so far and its CG is truly atrocious. If Aoi was not carrying this show on her back (well, backs now lol) then I would have dropped it episode 1. |

People has been saying since episode 1 that the prologue of this story is very long. Volumes 1-3 (The whole Labyrinth Arc) are the prologue of the story. And? That does not change how good or bad it is. |
phantomfandom said: Katarina council doesn't have a power over her body like this And thanks for quoting me, because I just noticed that my comment is edited by mod into a spoiler tag, but let me clarify, not only I never read anything about this anime before, I also only watch a few isekai anime (I specialized in sports anime and yaoi-bait anime), so the comment is just my 100% wild prediction. But for the peace of the community I'll still contain my comment in a spoiler tag. Yeah I don't get the why your comment was flagged for spoiler if what you said literally happened on the anime. |
Zefyris said: This episode, Kumoko upgrades to multithread processing! 2 threads for now, one for the I/O and one for the HMI (of Spider Environment Interface so SEI here? ), that's a good way to use two threads, so the I/O processes that tend to take a lot of resources do not impede /slow down the interface part. Judging by the ending and opening, I guess we can expect her to upgrade to 4 different threads in the near future. One has a witch attire so maybe one thread for magic processing. The one with the bandana has "body" on the bandana so that's the one we've already met. The other is... a seer or something maybe? Handling the predictions independently? not sure. That being said, hmm, a multithread spider, I guess that makes perfect sense ~ Also she became "The One" and can see the entire Matrix already. Isn't that skill still at level 1 ? if so, wonder if there's even more to see than that if it levels up ~ The Spider Micro Devices (SMD) stock must be taking off |
| the golden age arc of berserk was like 25 episodes but i get the feeling that most people wouldn't dislike that prologue for being too long. im gonna assume you dislike the extended prologue here for being repetitive but that's not the same thing as being too long. |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |

Never seen Berserk Did not say I really disliked it just that I could see why people would. |
| Damn Kumoko new evolution looks strong though... Unagi is the best!!! They actually use 2D monster on one scene with Julius ... Wonder why they choose that... Now they drop the Demon Lord 😏 |

Kimurah said: So all the foreshadowing so far has gone over your head, then. I've seen plenty of anime onlies (including random people on Reddit, Youtube, etc.) already construct pretty decent theories, but you are still going with the "survival videogame" hypothesis.-Dizzy- said: Why are so many people sleeping on this show? I think it's just bad timing that this anime came out the same time as Slime. The world is so interesting and I'm excited to see where it goes. And Aoi Yuuki is a fucking god pick for Kumoko's voice. She's perfect for it. Makes me sad this isn't getting the recognition it deserves. I get that the CGI is terrible, but I can easily look past that. Because it's not legitimate good, even without considering the cheap CG or the piss poor world building with 6 episodes so far. It's like a cheap indie videogame with a long ass forced tutorial.

| I tried to compare to other anime onlies to make it more fair. People have told him that it is a mystery series, but he is skipping all the mysteries and predictably calling it boring as a result, which isn't the best approach. People can have plenty of motives to kill other people, especially if they have a lot of time to develop those motives. And e.g. Hugo already had a poor personality back on Earth already. I have found all of the CGI decent or good, except for the Earth Wyrm scene and some of the parts with the monkeys. Maybe my standards for visuals aren't sky-high, or I at least have a high tolerance of CGI then. |

If Aoi was not carrying this show on her back (well, backs now lol) then I would have dropped it episode 1. the size of a prologue just depends of the original format and of the story's size really. It could be argued that Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon's prologue is arc 1+2 , which makes the prologue alone almost as big as the WHOLE Legend of Galactic Heroes story; IE if it was adapted with the same pace as LoGH in anime, the prologue would have lasted 100 episodes. Rokka no Yuusha and Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku for example both had a 12 anime series that only adapted the prologue, literally the anime finishes with the end of it. 7 episodes for a prologue is not especially long when the story comes from a long novel series. Manga have a tendency to have super short prologue because they're published chapter per chapter and need to hook the reader in the story ASAP, and so are anime original that also need to hook the viewer with 1 to 3 episodes. Novels are commercialized as way bigger ensemble and therefore have different criteria on this. But don't be mistaken, it's manga and anime originals that turned away from the normal practices in order to adapt their prologue's size to their peculiar publishing format; rather than the anime/manga being right in their way of doing things. That's also why several anime adaptation of novel series will add an In Media Res sequence in the first episode to hook the viewers without waiting for the prologue's end (ex : bookworm, rokka no yuusha, Sukasuka, youjo senki, etc, etc...). |

| It's such a shame CGI in this anime is so bad. Kumoko fights are actually really cool with some great movements, but it all gets wasted by those cheap CGI moments. It seems next episode will be more of humans problems. Meh. Kumoko parts are great, but other students are boring as hell. |
| When they said taratect, I thought they will target Kumoko! >,< I like her new appearance now, she even have a shield, I hope she will go outside of the cave :( The mangaka should remove all the human character, they're annoying specially Hugo >,< |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Another evolution and the MC is starting to get some real power. Hero wiping out some high level spiders, hmmm I think I can guess what the white spider was shaking at. Given the humans are anything from maybe 15-18, I'm guessing they arrived at the same time as the MC, so I'm sensing were seeing two different time zones as it were. Also, silly human, none of you are the MC, you're NPCs.... |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| The parallel minds is an interesting concept and it explains why there is multiple spiders reading together in the op. The nightmare vestige looks really intimidating but even he gets scared by that demon lord at the end. |
 |
i thought same thing |
| For a second I actually thought Julius was going to battle our number one survival spider Kumoko. Cool evolution there, Kumoko's new knife legs look pretty dope |
 |
| "Ok so it bears a certain resemblance to something that starts with a 't', ends with a 'd' and has 'ur' in the middle" I lost my shit at this one. Pun intended |
| 3/5 Better usage of CG in this episode. So that's good. |
