| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, this episode is pretty much a battlefield with xp gain opportunities. Seriously, Kumoko treated that like a live video game lol. Her narratives were also hilarious. Nice to see Ariel again but she wasn't in the moood to play games. Kumoko's determination to fight her is really inspiring though. |

| Yea Arial is my new waifu for sure. Liked her before, but being mixed with Kumoko’s spirit makes her even better. I’m really interested in learning more about this administrator D and what the fate of the world was projected to be that led them summoning the kids. Gulie is a really interesting character as well. Hugo doesn’t seem to be completely evil. Could be being manipulated. A lot of mystery in this series that I doubt we’ll get explained in two eps, so after two seasons of promo, I have decided to read the books. Anime definitely worked in its intended role. |

| The human fights a-raging, and Aoi Yuuki and her Kumoko minions are having fun to provide spiteful commentary like a news reporter and war coach in another world, HAHA I LOVE IT! Everything to her is a massive field of EXP earned for the easy credits. That is...until the Terminator Demon Lord Ariel shows up...not on the battlefield but transitioning to the scene of the Great Elroe Labyrinth and against the Earth Dragon Araba, she's definitely not playing around now. It's funny to think that Ariel, having sucked Mother up, she is beginning to act like Kumoko both in personality and traits, and the Dragon God Guile stopped her from being two-faced. The inevitable has happened: Ariel teleported to the correct battlefield to face Kumoko, and this Julius kid "Hero" boy that looks like Shun, but younger? The two sides have caught up with each other, and Kumoko is facing a losing battle while constantly healing with EXP of the dead. The class reunion extends to the battlefield, but Hugo a.k.a Kengo's only priority is Shun and Oka-sensei. The 3DCG rotoscoping is some un-smooth shit, but it's clear that there's no backing out of this fateful fight: the Hero vs. the unkind "Goblin Slayer" suit. Looking forward to the finale now, for real. |

| Yes! Kumoko is back, and lol that Kumoko - Ariel - Julius fight triangle, that was good to see, it really seems like the animation is atrocious mainly for the human side, because for Kumoko's one it was still ok, and it became bad again when the human showed... anyway the situation is still very tense but it seems like it will conclude soon |

I'm so happy you, and others, have picked up the LN. Definitely one of the best around, you won't be disappointed! On that note, I know a lot of source readers wish the anime would've done things differently (both quality and story), but one thing I will forever stand by this anime for, is the amount of new people it attracted. Always love to see Spider Church grow. The anime has done a very good job at that, despite its shortcomings. Anime adaptations are really just to promote the LN 99.9 percent of times anyway, so that’s to be expected. It did its job with me tho. |

| Oh my god... why was this episode so fuckin' funny. Everything about it was hilarious. First, Kumoko doing the report from the battlefield was amazingly funny. She doesn't take anything seriously at this point. LMAO. Looks like Kumoko also took partial control over Ariel's head but it didn't last long since she approached her on the battlefield. The fight itself was funny from Kumoko's POV. She once again isn't taking anything seriously but can't use magic because of the barrier created by Ariel. Yet she's surviving through taking experience from the unknown soldiers. LOL. On the CGI part, holy shit the frames were bad. I felt like I was watching the scenes at 15 FPS. I don't say it much tho, but it was bad today. |
 |
| Man the Cgi in this episode looks worse than it has been in the past. It really looks bad on the human characters. I enjoyed this series more in the beggining than I have the last couple episodes. Still decided to buy the first LN book to start reading another series as I feel like the world and story has potential its just not being animated well. Disappointed they flipped to the human side without showing the ending of the battle vs. the Demon Lord |

| Kumoko vs Ariel was pretty hilarious and damn they left us on a cliffhanger on both side of the story. Next episode come faster! |
 |
| They could have give this whole ep to Kumo but they just have to insert the human side. No one likes that. |
 |
| That fight was so hilarious. xD |

| Kumoko’s weird cross between a war correspondent and a weatherman had to be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. |
| man i thought ex-arm was bad and here.... areil's CG was good but then every other CG was sooo bad 17:47 even 2d looks were so bad and then at the end what the hell with frame rates i just hope they were doing all this so that they can do some great shit on last or 2nd last episodes if its wasnt for story i would drop it |

Sondfer said: I think it should be the case because yeah the difference is really huge, just look at the framerate for the CGI scenes when the camera is moving, it's 2 times slower compared to Kumoko's part Ashhk said: Yes!

Like ENGI or any other Kadokawa associate. Too much difference in direction and...effort. |
|
| That's scene where the Devil is 3D and the guy is 2D in one frame reminds me of Ex-Arm lmao |
| What I tense situation ... What they are going to do? Of course, they will do nothing, as they can't kill the generic harem protagonist. This episode is a joke. They can't afford to animate the fighting, and they can't afford to advance plot, so they just stall. |
| Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world. |
| Pretty fun episode, I loved how it started with our spider doing a reporter's job lol. Already can't wait for next week. |
| Damn pretty good action. The CGI still is not good and I am losing interest more and more in the Schlein saga atm. But I am curious as to why Ariel was stopped when she saw Julius. Don't know if it was the Hero factor or what but that was pretty interesting. Hopefully Kumoko made it out unscathed. The White Lady is walking with Ariel...thought she would open her eyes but nope. I like the White lady...kinda sexy :3 I think we are going to need another season or two. I do not know if they can wrap this up in 2 episodes. |

| If this manages to get a season 2 (hopefully it does), it needs to go to a new studio. They manage for some wonderful and downright hilarious scenes for Kumoko, but the landslide shift in production quality when switching between timelines has gone beyond a joke at this point. The scene change for the end was so noticeable. Barely any movement by anyone. Perspective shots that were completely off i.e. Shun and Sophia face to face suddenly, followed by tiny Oka behind Shun. And then it was a coin flip as to whether they'd be using CG or 2D for a scene. Seriously amazed Julius had managed to survive as long as he did, because this episode clearly showed he was damn suicidal :P |
 |
| Did they change the director, studio or something? It's awful, it doesn't even seem like the same work that made me laugh a lot in every episode, I hated watching these battles. If it continues like this, it will easily fall from one of the best of the season to one of the worst, and it's not the first to happen (I'm talking about you Higehiro) |

SoraSenpai said: The White Lady is walking with Ariel...thought she would open her eyes but nope. Opening eyes is too expensive. They run out of budget. |

RainyShadow said: Yup, if all Kumo curses are stacked in those two eyes, it would be some heavy damage :P (If White is really Kumo, as they imply) I wonder if her evil-eye-lasers autofire each time she opens her eyes. |

This could be the reason to keep them closed... |
| Either the cg wasn't as bad as I prepared for or I am getting used to it. The Ariel vs Kumoko battle was fun to watch. The hero side was as bad as usual with the cringe hero talk. Here hoping for a triple KO in their fight, Shun and Hugo kill each other off and sensei dies in the crossfire trying to stop them. |
 |
| That moment when you only have 2 hours to complete the project and your underpaid intern has to use 240p barebone terrain templates and render at 5 FPS on his 2011 potato gaming laptop to get the job done on time. Ouch. I'd rather have seen a recap or nothing at all if it meant getting a good episode later. |

| Holy crap this episode looked really bad lol |
| Holy fuck even my PS2 from over 20 years ago was able to produce better graphic IN REAL TIME. They must be running on the last 1000 yens bill at this moment. I can't even imagine how they will be able to pull off the last 2 episodes... |
 |
| The Demon Lord Ariel vs Our Kumoko, fight went pretty bad for Kumoko but she got saved by the old hero xD Shun's also struggling against him. The CGI was alright but whatever, I'm still loving this serie! Body is the best character in the serie. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| I knew that Parallel Minds had at least changed something about Ariel, her personality seemed quite different from what we initially saw and it also explains why she seemed to know the reincarnations personally. So their souls are combined, at least I'm glad she's still Ariel... kinda. It was hilarious how Kumoko had to level up as the demon lord beat the shit out of her. Thank you, nameless soldiers xD. I had to laugh when Aoi Yuuki wondered if the demon lord was a shotacon lol. Man, I was so into the fight between Kumoko and the demon lord but they had to switch to the human perspective. It's still interesting but it looks so bad... |

| That CGI was pretty meh in the human part, they have the good in kumo side, in the first 10 episodes the human part was fine, both the part 2d and 3d, but at this point I think they have run out of budget, I'm not disappointed in the animation in general (except for that horrible episode amm, 14?), if not the camera shots and the static characters, at least in this episode Anyway, the plot rewards any bad taste in the mouth, although from the beginning I have disagreed with the joker vibe of kumo-chan, I think it is already part of it, hopefully the war ends with a good climax on both sides! |
  Humans may have two eyes, but we can only see one thing Don't use the scores to see an anime ええい！ なんでも やって やる |
