| The only thing I don't get is... Why so many humans? Is the novel like that? Because I don't remember the human scenes in the manga... to say the least... |
| The CGI is fine and so is the pacing It's in good hands it seems, people are making a big deal out of nothing just because of the studio and directors history |

LeviathanTheEsp said: The only thing I don't get is... Why so many humans? Is the novel like that? Because I don't remember the human scenes in the manga... to say the least... Yes. The novel puts the stories of Kumoko's colleagues in between the chapters with Kumoko. It's actually pretty interesting because there's some mysteries involving it and it is slowly revealed as the novel progresses. |
| A decent first episode, it kept me entertained enough to want to watch next week's, as well. Might end up mediocre like every single isekai ever, but being reincarnated into a spider is a decent change of pace? I guess. |
| who is the seiyuu for the spiders robotic voice. I know the spiders seiyuu is Yuuki Aoi. |

| "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." |
| i'm really disappointed in ep01. putting aside unnecessary 3dcgi, it's absolutely NOT intriguing and NOT motivating to watch more of this. will watch only because of Yuuki Aoi's VA((. |
| To err is human. To purr is feline (c) |
| an isekai with the whole class reincarnated is not something new, BUT i feel this1 with better humor and more self-awareness show than others (*cough* arifureta *cough*) Yukii Aoi's voice work is hilarious! and gives it her all in the ED ajaja someone else to complain about cgi? meh. it was ok, it's not unwatchable and the story promises. naisu episode 1! |
| Well, this CGI was much better than I expected. MC voice is really fun to listen to. I do hope this season keeps up the quality. |
| Oh Jezus is a perfect way to start about this series. Hold on though, gotta make a comment about the end... that ED is absolutely nuts and I fucking love it, the way Aoi Yuuki brings the spider to live in the episode, but to continue that into the ED, fucking glorious I tell you. I need to warm up on the animation, not a fan of it, especially that huge ass spider looked horrific to me. Kumoko was amazing to behold, so much energy in that little spider and I love it. Definitely carried the episode. Was nice to see a bit of the humans as well, but I also feel that we're not gonna see a whole lot of them, I guess time will tell. Decent premiere is what I will say for now. Hope quality might improve the more episodes roll out. |
 |
| I don’t know, it’s a pretty bland first episode. I hope it will be at least funny to watch, let’s see. |
 |
| The show isn't abysmal. Animation is tolerable since it's not 100% CGI. leveling up, like in a game - isn't this trope overused already? EVEN for an Isekai? This looks like "Arifureta" meets "Reincarnated as a slime". Gonna give it few more chances and hope it brings something unique to the table. Otherwise it's gonna be a drop from me. |
| This anime looked like a poorly animated isekai parody and I was seriously considering dropping it after the first episode, but the final part made me somewhat curious. It seems the whole classroom got reincarnated as high class nobles, but the MC was unlucky enough to reborn as a small spider. I wonder how her classmates will react when they meet. I guess I'll watch a couple more episodes to decide if I should drop this anime or not. Both the OP and ED are dreadful, though. |
| The CG is better than I expected it to be. Though, I did have pretty low expectations after watching the previews. The story is also moving at a monstrously fast pace. At this rate the anime might cover the majority of the story before the season is done. Hopefully they don't skip too much of the original content. Besides all that I still that it was quite fun to watch. |
| I'm certain this will be a fun watch cus i enjoy the garbage bin that is korean manga isekai/returner rpg videogame fantasy quite too much (there are really good ones but the majority are copy paste), the difference is that this one apears to be kind of original and interesting, yes slime exists but i don't think it will have the same dynamic. In general looks like a fun watch, nothing to get angry about, kinda too fast paced, like presenting me the isekaied characters in their isekai form and not in the original, I could only recognize 2 characters, that are kinda obvious, the teacher and the girl moving her hair, still pretty fun ride. |
| This anime is very funny and Yuki Aoi is love even as a spider <3 |
| PERFECT I fucking loved it, Great OP grat ED everything just felt so right. The expressions are fantastic and its a bit sad if you can't read fast enough and check out the expressions of the spider. It really made everything so enjoyable if you can do both. What can I say its the first episode so ofc we don't know where we are going other than.. WE must survive!~ |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Not a complete trainwreck, but I'm not fan of 3DCG, although I understand hand drawing a spider in many battles might be asking too much for any studio. I will give 3 eps. |
| Garbage, as expected of the makers of berserk 16. The quality of the CGI is much better, thankfully, but detail is still lacking in a lot of things, the movements are rather robotic, and the moment a scene has any motion that exceeds 5-10fps, it looks choppy as hell, and when it gets to fast motions in fights it just outright rip your eyes to shreds because you can't follow what's going on at all... Guess they didn't learn anything from berserk... Come on, jeez, its CGI, you can render it at 30 or 60 without any effort, why you go 24 and under? It fucking hurts to watch, not to mention you can barely tell what's going on! I don't know how these people manage to be so bad, you have some barely known titles like Etotama that are leagues ahead of this crap in animation smoothness and quality... THIS is how good CG looks like so yeah, compare to that and and THIS show definitely doesn't pull any rating over 'crappy'... |

| was actually better then i expected for the people that did berserk 2016. will look foward to it, but still a bit bummed that a studio like bones, IG, or ufotable, couldn't pick up this series. also no this series isn't like slime this is a survival anime if you couldn't tell from the stinger near the end that set up for the darker tone of the survival aspect in contrast to Schlain with his harem esque isekai protag stuff in this episode. @FluffyNiccu they didn't rush to much i suspect they rushed Schlain story to after the rest meet as a later point most likely to set for the duel tones of the show, but will go back to explain Schlain story from the beginning hopefully. |

| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| This was a fun start, Kumoko is pretty charismatic and can carry the show, I also like that her classmates got reincarnated to this world as well, I want to see all their stories. Other that the mom spider, the CGI was perfectly fine. |
 |
| This was really fun. CG in this is definitely well within my tolerable threshold. It might not be the best looking, but the animation is fun, eccentric, and lively so that's what really matters. The OP was pretty okay, but the ED? I can see how people are divided on it, but I appreciate how ridiculous it was. This is also the first time I've seen an anime/LN/manga have a group of characters isekai'd into *different races or species*, and also not have them seem to be enemies, so that's one point I guess. I had no tolerance for the campy edge that exuded from Arifureta, and am glad it looks like our little spider won't take herself so seriously. Having other Isekai'd people, with a mix of species should be enough to differentiate it from Slime, so I hope this continues to look promising. 4/5 |
| ULTRA HYPER ED was just exhilarating! the episode itself was just meh isekai and a bit colorful yea... 4/5. |
 |
| I don't really care too much about the CGI, I think it looks decent, my problem is how unfunny this anime is, the jokes didn't hit at all and everything happening so fast just made it worse. I don't have my hopes high but I expect some better entertainment the next episodes. |
 |
| You people can bitch about the CG. I'm just here for the banger ED. |
 |
| I hate how people are like CGI = BAD, you guys are idiots. This ain't looking bad at all. Every fucking time there is CGI in something and I come to this site everything I see is CGI bad bla bla blaa You know it was going to be CGI, if you hate CGI that much don't watch the show. |
| I liked it! I'm excited since I really like the LN. I hear loads of people compare it to Rimuru and Reincarnated as a slime and while I do think it's a funny and somewhat fair comparison at this current time. I'm excited to see this show differentiates itself ^^. |
| "The world is not beautiful, therefore it is." -Kino's Journey |
| CG was way better then most i seen come around the past years.. BUT its the 1st episode, aka the one that needs to grab audience, thus it may still suffer later on. those saying it was bad have no clue whats good or bad, yes its not movie studio quality but its pretty good for anime. i can only agree on the fps part, it was very visibly slowed/jerky down. I was surprised by the amount of blood shown without those magical black lightbeams that some anime go for. it was even red. As a reader of both the WN and LN the voice acting was actually pretty decent when i take into account the somewhat dull or flat lines/jokes from the novels. I seen some make the weirdest slime comparisons, did you even watch? do you have any other knowledge beside slime? - "she even got great sensei like slime".... erm... just no?!?! its just a voiced system message system very common - "even the game system is similar".. what.. like any other rpg game... what?!?! - "bad cg bla bla"... reviewer...with an overlord avatar...sure sure?!?! |

| was okay people kept talking about liking this one a lot right off the start it's started just like 99% of any other one of these shows and the meta takes don't add much either at this point but i didn't dislike it. will say the one interesting thing is the whole class getting sent as well but hopefully they let us get to know them more because it doesn't mean anything when we don't even know who they were before lol. me thinking the Op was chaotic ED: hold my beer |
 |
| This show is way too overhyped for what it is. Why the heck is this a 2-cour and not ToniKawa. Complete BS |
| This is the anime that i have always been eagerly waiting for over 4 years finally to be released. I love Kumo Desu Ga Nani Ka? WN n Manga since 2016. I cried n laugh happily the whole episode watching Kumo-chan π₯° π Here my fav moments of this episode:  The great beginning π  First time trying to abuse the great appraisal skill... π Kumo-chan get overwhelmed by information π€£ This is basically me π Lol, i don't remember this in novel or manga... But it is super funny πOverall great episode, i don't really mind the cg animation at all, as what i care in anime is mostly plot n character, n this anime totally delivers it. 10/10 |

 Try reading Spy x Family Manga ^_^ U will love it, i promise... |
| Going in blind, not knowing anything about it or about any hype. So far it's pretty good. Yuuki Aoi is doing a great job and really brightens up my day. The Comedy was also pretty gud so far and again Yuuki Aoi is doing a good job delivering it. The CGI is okay. I've seen way worse - Arifureta anyone? The Opening and Ending are insane haha, really good. Will be watching more for sure, can't wait :3 |
| 3 months later... TV series episode: 6 12 minutes OVAs: 54 3 minutes Specials: 154 |
| . |
| Yuuki Aoi is a God! Initial impression with this anime...the CGI was actually pretty bad, but Y.Aoi makes up for it with her superb voice acting.   Ngl, this anime was looking to be a lot like the Slime Isekai(which wasn't the best), but that scene at the end has really got me excited! This definitely seems like a ridiculously difficult Isekai situation for FMC though, being a spider. Not sure if she'll evolve or not, but we shall see. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| This is an Isekai I can stick with, get it? Reincarnating as a spider is weird, but somehow...... it works. Looks like everyone else reincarnated normally. |
