Lol, I think it's funny how Kumoko tries to train herself with those webs. It's too bad she landed at the wrong place at the wrong time in front of a blast attack from a huge monster. Kinda impressed at how fast Kumoko has improved herself in terms of dodging.

Still a very entertaining episode following Kumoko trying to survive in harsh environments. The lava floor and environments really tests the limit of her survival skills.

The lava environment definitely seems dangerous for her but well she's doing good, especially thanks to her venom she can kill her opponent, and apparently they even taste great, so that's perfect for her xD

Oops... The lava floor doesn't seem like the type of place you wanna walk on. But, it's great that she's good after all that. Honestly, she's been through a lot in these previous couple of episodes. I just hope she survives and becomes strong. Also, looks like something finally tastes good.

Had a good time with kumoko as usual, though not really a fan of S interludes (and it's especially on the nose this episode...), I understand why they exist, and I guess it's not as bad for people who haven't read about it multiple times before.

Kumoko still working hard leveling up, evolving to get the hell out of this labyrinth. The magma sea horse didn't prove to be too tough after she did all that training. The skill she finds called Pride seems to be an interesting skill to put points into. I think that will come back up later on especially with the scene back in the other transported students classroom. Fei obviously has the taboo skill just like Kumoko does too. I wonder why the church followers want anyone with that skill dead, other than the so called reason we heard. Kumoko getting forced back up towards the magma by the sea horse leading to her outwitting it to use all its mp so she could swoop in. Cathartic scene with Kumoko eating the delicious lava catfish. I've never had catfish but I'm told its good. Wonder why the hero Julius is heading down to the labyrinth..

That white hair girl gives me the creeps. She's definitely gonna do something bad in future. Also the way she was obsessed with Taboo makes me think that it's some top tier skill.

Our little spider was brave and amusing yet again. Also she finally got to eat delicious food, time to make the catfishes go extinct.

If she knew magic, everything would be easier for her

Today the human chapter was interesting, they linked the theme of taboo from the spider to their conversations, I liked that there was a little coherence in the thread of the episode

It was an exciting chapter, I am not a reader of the novels but I can foresee that the title of demon lord passes from whoever has more taboo index from creature to creature, and probably religious humans have the mission to exterminate them, if that is the reason I will be surprised , and if it is not, I will be even more surprised, eager for the next chapter

"Almost lit the fires under my ass" - Kumoko
Lol, i can't stop laughing with that line, especially with how hectic that spider way of speak.

So, the next evolution literally changed Kumoko as a demon lord. Sounds a perfect reward to all of Kumo's achievement for the whole battle against a previous monke horde! But, why the design looked like a clown attire? xd

Good thing with all of those combination skills, resulting the best and perfect kind of dish for Kumoko got, after such a long time devouring a gross beings. Yeah, catfish, its literally fish, plus its already cooked. Ofc its taste good. Congratulations, little spider!

Now, then, after having a better place to stayed with a perfect kind of food, a hero suddenly entered Kumoko houses. What shall you do, Kumoko? I may guess that the first meet of them will not take a friendly manner. Lets see....

Also, what about that dragon, Fei? Well, who care about them. I just come here to know more about the spider!

I was hoping this episode would be more of a challenge for Kumoko, what with her being in a totally new environment and all. In a way I'm kind of disappointed that she got past the seahorse and the catfish so easily. So far every encounter has been her either completely annihilating an enemy on the first try or training for maybe like a minute of screen time and then annihilating the enemy. Last episode with the monkeys seemed like a real tough one for her, so I expected this episode with all-new types of creatures to be just as (or maybe even more) difficult as the last one.

Either way, I'm looking forward to the next episode and what Kumoko's gonna face then.

Also, I'm really impressed with how much this episode made me want to eat catfish. Kumoko was going IN on it. Glad she finally got to eat some good food for once lol

This was actually a great episode

CG looked really good thanks to the lightning coming from the lava. Watching Kumoko eating something tasty was quite satisfying!
Also, the human scenes are finally starting to get intersting

Yuuki aoi carries this hard, man. She out here like Bron in the finals.

I’m also in the rare minority of people that prefers the kids at school over the kumoko scenes. Idk, I find the regular art style much better than the 3DCGI we see in kumoko’s scenes. Weird I know.

Looks like next week we’ll finally get the two worlds colliding. Adventurers heading into the labyrinth. This is going to be fun.

She had more challenges and almost even died after losing quite badly after she fell to the lower level but the anime skipped it for some reason. It seems that they want to get to the action quicker so the pacing is a little fast.

Interesting. Although the main story is very simple, it is a simple survival upgrade, without considering the dragging humans, but the stand-up comedy with the MC's characteristics looks very interesting!

Another entertaining spider adventure. Aoi Yuuki's voice acting was great yet again. She acquired new skills and ate a gigantic catfish, which turned out to be the best meal since her reincarnation. I'm still conflicted on the class plotline, but at least it has a cohesive story with some semblance of a hero's journey. Whereas the Spider adventure is just stream of consciousness entertainment.

The Labyrinth has an underground layer design, the lower you go the stronger the monsters are. The monsters in the middle stratum are weaker than the one in the lower stratum.
In this area the biggest danger is the enviroment, the area is so hot that you get damage with only being inside (like in MH), she needed HP Recovery LV5 and Fire Resistance LV5 only to stop the enviroment damage. Also, it doesn't help that Spiders weakest element is fire.

btw, the seahorse is the weakest enemy of the area and the catfish couldn't activate his unique skill.

Lots of interesting and powerful skills in this episode. And also Taboo skill in which the hero academy consider it a dangerous skill.

And now the survival in the middle stratum has begin. Great battle between Kumoko and the monsters. But let's not forget, that the hero's has track down the middle stratum too. Looking forward for the next battle.

Its amusing seeing the mc train though. Though i wouldn't call Feirune's evolution a small one. She's the size of a cat now. After his impressive display of skill last ep its nice to see the class show him more respect. Siulicia's jealousy at seeing her brother's interaction with other girls sure was something. If anything Hasebe's personality has become much more wacky after the battle. The magma stage though sure is doing well in forcing the mc to think tactically though. Still given her reaction the catfish meat proved to be an excellent reward for that tough battle. Seems Kumoko has now become the catfish hunter. Overall a fun ep that served well to establish how Schlain's party's standing has risen in the aftermath of the battle against the dragon that combined well with Kumoko's newfound abilities at dealing with both the lava and catfishes that inhabit her new domain.

Aoi yuuki is such an amazing voice actor, she never fails. This episode was a good one, and the visuals were probably the best in a long time, probably on par with episode 1 (wouldnt surprise me if they had the same team), the cg with the catfishes were probably the highlight, pretty decent stuff. Julius enters the stage, next episode will probably be the most interesting, as it will probably be hard to animate a certain battle, as it should have a lot of 3D and 2D mixed in.

I was planning on dropping this anime after this episode, but I’ll stick around a little longer. The progression system is the backbone of this anime and seeing how the MC grows and beats new monsters is what is keeping me going. I’m a little interested in the other charcters, not too much though. The monsters are still rough and the MC can be too much at times, yet I feel the source material may be strong enough to keep me going.

Damn that lava CGI looks pretty good.

Didn't expects her to get that strong so fast. That lava will do massive amounts of dmg to the spider if she's not careful but looks like she's fine.

She killed her opponent easily and apparently it tastes really good too.

If you like the RPG Progression then the LN is for you. The anime is skipping most of the skill/titles descriptions and how she got them.

For example last episode she said that she used the skill "Stealth" to sneak in the lower stratum but we never really saw her getting that skill. Stealth was a reward from the title "Assassin" she got in the upper layer after killing a bunch of cetipedes with sneak attacks.

Another thing would be the Skills description, when she got Pride she also appraised every single skill she had and noticed that

You know what, I did kind of forget about the underground structure. That's my bad lol. It makes sense logically that the tougher enemies would be lower in the labyrinth.

That being said, I guess from a narrative standpoint it wouldn't be very interesting if she was only encountering easy enemies from here on out, even if it does logically make sense. The environment itself being a challenge is a good obstacle, though. It's nice that it provides an incentive for her to gain more varied skills, like the Fire Resistance from this episode.

Kumoko finally found (and conquered) an oishi meal! Due to the graphically juicy way she described its taste I felt my belly growl a bit, since I watched the episode just before dinner ^.^ Kumoko was very funny in this episode as well. I bow to Aoi Yuuki in respect for her amazing voice work.

In the next episode Kumoko might face some heavyweight humans way above her class. I hope they do not bother with her at all and go after their actual target (since one of them is the No1 hero Julius I assume he is after the Demon Lord or one of their lieutenants). By the way, Yurin Ullen / Yuika Hasebe is scary af and almost certainly mentally unstable..

She finally went for the next evolution and she now looks like a spider you want to avoid at all times. Those poisonous barbs or balls are quite the warning. The middle layer is pretty rough with the lava and heat.

The Hero is also about to enter that cave, seems like the first contact with a hero and Kumoko is happening soon, I hope!

Learning magic but can't use. Awesome!

Still, the skills are finally starting to show up, good good. Just to clarify, Demon Lord lv 1 is a skill not the Title. Titles usually gives skill among other things and if I'm not mistaken the title of a ruler of a sin gives the demon lord skill, that's why she has it

Until we saw Julius I was thinking there might be a time differential between spidy and the rest of the kids story since they all apparently did actually grow up again so they've been in the world for years while MC is relatively newborn. Now I'm not so sure, I was hoping the kids explore the labyrinth and she's a fully grown spider boss.

Unfortunatelly Magic Power Manipulation is worthless, without knowing Kumoko fucked herself some time ago.
Detection is the highest rank of the "Perception Type" skills.
Detection: A skill that combines all perception systems. Summary: Magic Perception, Physical Perception, Material Perception, Presence Perception, Danger Perception, Motion Perception, Heat Perception, Reaction Perception, Spatial Perception.

If Kumoko buys Magic Perception it's going to be absorbed as EXP by Detection.

I like the old 80's action movie style training montage. Really being in this dungeon is making her strong. Once she gets out and meets the other kids from her class it looks like she might have to fight against them as the Demon Lord. That would be cool to see, if the show takes a turn like Overlord.

The first half of the episode was rather really boring but the second half of the episode was pretty interesting for once. And finally a human interaction in the next episode. TBH I think it took the story a bit too long for Kumo to be in the cave, we're like 5 episodes in and she's still in the cave and only been leveling. They were interesting at first but became rather repetitive fast and I'm thankful we're past that. Another episode of it would have been terrible to dread on.
