Ausp said: groudonvert said: Because it ends on a cliffhanger in the source material as well. Yes, in both case it's frustrating. The difference in the length of the break though. Anyway, I was just trying to find where in the LN the anime stopped but based on the info that I found, the story in the LN is arranged differently and I read that the manga is quite poor. -_- The anime is ahead of the manga... Oh well. |

| This show is so enjoyable, made even better with Aoi Yuuki and while I didn't hate it as much it is a shame the studio that had to do its adaptation. I would love a second season by other studio or at the very least or if it becomes this studio's tensura. |
| These last 3 or 4 episodes just felt so fucking awkward,, overall I loved it, but wish it felt more integrated for the last couple of episodes, for some odd reason it felt like so many sound effects were missing lolz and kek. |
 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. |
| Just need more now |
| I imagined Shiro's eyes to look quite different from what we got. Ariel: "Body-in-charge mixed with me." As you can see, there are 2 Kumoko now! -- With that out of the way.. The episode itself is fine but as the conclusion to the season, it still didn't work on putting the scattered puzzle pieces together (and likely left people in confusion). With that said, this episode drew the viewers attention away from everything that happened so far (aka stop shoving our heads up Shun's ass) and towards world building. Although I'm very hesitant to say this, I expect great things from a season 2 despite rating this season 3/10. |

| Seems like most of my questions have been answered in this last episode. Shun being a righteous jackass again with his band of goons at the beginning then we see Wakaba/Kumiko show up who has been around since the beginning of conflict so she knows what's up. Love how Wrath is just brushing Shun off like 'you don't even know what you're fighting for". Sensei got some serious explaining to do, no wonder the other reincarnations hate her. Love that Kumiko and Aerial became allies haha. I dispised the human parts of this season but guess I wouldn't care anymore if there's a 2nd season since kumiko/Wakaba would be a part of a group now. |
| Can't believe we had to wait for the last episode to get like 99% of the story. Finally, Kumoko reached her human form, even tho it's not full, yet ahaha but she's pretty cute man.  So now we finally understand why Kumoko "joined" the DL, but it seems more like she's in charge now. All of her tricks and Parallel minds changed DL, when she appeared i was like "LoveLive Ariel?" haha And now all of those fights make sense, but one thing still misses, is why they can't simply explain to them the whole situation? It's not like DL knows that the reincarnated people are aware that Potimas is a real threat lol, if they knew they would even join them. Again conflicts aren't solved because people simply don't talk, but this was expected but i do expect that to happen somewhat in the future. The thing that kinda made me sad is that Kumoko looks now so evil and demonic, compared to the Kumoko we know (i don't doubt that in her mind she's still the same) but her aura feels completely different. I do hope we get a 2S, this was such a great run (besides these past few episodes), i do hope we can get the next season with a better CGI (at least that, please). It was a great run, definitely one of the most unique and fun animes i have seen. Even tho the last episodes weren't that great, this episode definitely redeemed for all of that xD 9/10 |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
Ohhh. So that's the ending. I really enjoyed watching this show. I hope it will get a 2nd season. |
| After the earlier delay I thought this would take far longer to arrive. This is more like a beginning than an ending. Hopefully they'll continue the story to fill in more of the blanks between the two timelines featured here (and maybe leave Shun's side of the story at a better end point than mid-battle)... ideally with more consistent production quality. |
| Arachne Kumo vs. T-800 Potimas. Enjoyed this fight so much, made me laugh so much (in a good way). Watched it 3 or 4 times in the morning, then watched it twice again before making this post (lol). When Kumo arrived and bgm started playing, knew things are gonna get trashed! But then Kumo found herself in desperate battle with T-800 Potimas. The fear in the face of the spider made me laugh, and when Potimas is saying "I will end you here" - it made me laugh so much again. ahaha.. damn you Kumo-chan... I had already blown July anime budget on Love Live Superstar and Shadows House... but now you want me to spend more!! Ok you got it... I'm gonna buy a kumo cd or some other item from your anime, just because of this episode. score is 4/10 - because of all the Yuusha desu ga that I was forced to watch. But 4/10 is improved to a generous 8/10 by Kumo action of this episode alone. :) |
Hundredlives said: I did not spoil anything. Everything is in these last two episodes. Yes you must infer a bit of it but all is there. You can see Potimas exiting a cryogenic chamber of sorts after his robot avatar is destroyed, we know that elves live longer than humans but not by much because we are told so. We also know that Potimas is the big bad guy because he kidnaps children kills innocent and starts random wars also Ariel tells us this and Kumoko says is true after inheriting the taboo information. Btw that is what happened to Shu when he felt sick. About his quest for a longer widespan is my own assumption based on what I could see. We also can infer that elves are modified humans. That is because you have no elf civilisation as in other stories, even a destroyed one. And they are maybe like 50-100 elves in total and all in one location under Potimas. So is not a spoiler nightcrawlercyp said: A redeeming episode after the last 3 garbage ones this the one that saved the series for me You do realize the human side is just in the future and the big baddy is Potimas , right? About Potimas he is a modified human into what one could call an elf but even as an elf his lifespan is very short compared to demons are other similar creatures thus in his quest for immortality he spends most time in suspended animation while controlling robots remotely. So he is not half human cyborg, he is modified human that controls remotely robots that pose as him. As a note the 'cyborgs' in terminator should not have been called cyborgs but robots. A cyborg is a biological organism with robotic enhancements. But they are robots with some biological components. When does one move from cyborg too robot is debatable but my vote would be when both brain and heart is replaced by mechanical parts Gee thanks for spoiling future events ffs I hope you get banned Sharpedon said: The end of the season (show?) was much better than I expected. Too many questions were left unanswered though, so I hope we get a second season - if possible from another studio. For instance : 1)Is the current status quo between Kumoko and Ariel the same as it was 14 - 15 years ago? Who's the actual boss in the present time and who's stronger? And does it really matter if one of them is pure Kumoko and the other is ~50% Kumoko and ~50% Ariel? I found interesting that Sophia called Kumoko "Master", but (as far as I recall) not Ariel. Assuming both of them are equal bosses / Masters would it really work? There is a saying that you cannot have two bosses and all that.. 2)I thought Potimas had milked the reincarnated students of their knowledge to make his machines but it appears he already knew how to make them, since 14 - 15 years ago he already had multiple cyborg bodies of himself when Oka-chan was just a toddler. Later on apparently he also made (biological) clones of himself, one of which 15-year old Sophia decapitated. I think this guy has gone beyond even the over-cautious hero in his cautiousness - or perhaps cowardice. 3)Why was Oka-chan so surprised to find out that Kumoko / Wakaba was alive (I thought she was lying before but she really thought she was dead)? Did the latter find out about Oka-chan's unique skill and devise a way to hide her status from her? 4)Going back to Oka-chan how much does she know about Potimas' diabolical plans and deeds? Does she know almost everything and decided to turn a blind eye in order to save her students, hence her recent doubts and self-questioning about what she did? Does she know that Potimas murdered the parents of Sophia and surely had the parents of other children murdered? 5)Which of Kumoko's parallel minds survived - and does it matter? She said she managed to slip one of her parallel minds into an egg. Martial artist Body-chan merged with Ariel, so there were three minds left. Since only one mind survived the other two are apparently gone, but can she restore them? Her memories appeared to be fine though, so they are not tied to the parallel minds. She did not appear to lose any power either, despite mentioning that she made a weaker clone of herself in the form of an egg. It appears that her physical form does not really matter, all that mattered is that she managed to transfer one of her parallel minds to an egg, and along with it all her skills and stats. 6)Last but not least, since Shun reached Taboo level 10 (~15 years after Kumoko...) does this mean he knows everything about the truth of this world, the imminent danger it is in and why exactly Ariel, Kumoko and co attacked the elves? 1) I think Ariel and Kumoko are at a truce because neither can kill the other thanks to the ability to transfer their soul into a clone . And since Potimas which was the reason for their cooperation is not dead yet I assume their deal is still in place. What will happen after I do not know. I think that Sophia is more indebted to Kumoko that saved her repeatedly and also the fact that they were classmates in previous life make s a difference. About Ariel being 50% Kumoko not really. As Kumoko's parallel mind eat away some of Ariel's mind it replaced it with its own but I would not say Ariel is part Kumoko now. Rather that now she has slightly different personality, more humane more joy de vivre, etc. I do not think either of the two is the boss but Ariel generally has the lead because most of the army is under her command so unless she asks something outrageous I assume kumoko will do as she says at least until they kill Potimas. About who is stronger I have no idea, my assumption is Kumoko but unless someone finds all their eggs they cannot really be killed. So it does not matter. 2. The reincarnations are extremely powerful once they get enough XP. Only a few others in this world are as powerful. If you go by Kumoko standard most reincarnations will be as strong as the demon king or the Hero in time. Having so many powerful people under your control is a huge asset for anyone. That is why they choose to kill Sophia instead because they cannot control her. 3. I assume she can only track some students. I assume Kumoko being a monster is harder to track down. Also considering she was only a head after the fight with Ariel and was hit with Abyss magic and destroyed after the second fight and only escaped by moving to a clone body , you can understand. Abyss magic can destroy the soul itself if you missed it. 4. I think she is pretty much in the dark about Potimas. Mostly she knows what Potimas tells her. In some way she went with end excuses the means with the kidnappings of reincarnations but she always doubts that it was the best way. 5. I think is more like moving your soul to another body but since in hinduism and budhism and this series souls are not atomic entities and can be divided or combined is unclear. But no it does not matter which parallel mind. The only difference between parallel mind is what function they serve, but technically they can all do all of them just not at the same time. The clone is weaker in the sense that she is now an infant instead of an adult. Much less mass strength mp , etc. By consuming enough food even without the evolving step she made she can regain all missing power. 6. Yup. That is why he is in shock. That is why I assume the previous Hero also joined Ariel's side. I cannot tell you much more because I do not know much more and the few spoilers I know are something I heard I do not know about. |

imSOunique said: I have been ignoring the spider part, can anybody tell me what the fck? Her parallel brain thingy (which was already the stupidest shit in the anime) invaded the demon lord's brain? What? Why? How? The spider part is the whole thing. Shun's story is a flash-forward, and you don't see him again for quite some time. Which explains why you have such a terribly wrong idea about the elves, since you're only seeing the 'good' side they present to the public. |
| Finally the big reveal, the white haired girl actually was the MC. She looks beautiful as hell in her human form. I love how the vampire girl calls her "Master". I can already tell there's so much more to this story and saw there's loads of volumes for the LN so Im probably going to pick them up. Its not often where there's an isekai where an entire class is isekai'd. This is been a great series from start to finish though. I love the points/skill system. It was always interesting to see what she'd get next. I love how by the end of it our perception of who we should route for was shifted to the Demon Lord team. Can't wait to eventually get onto the LN and see where this goes. |

Fnights said: 8/10 cause the crappy second half animation, the extra week delay didn't help either, action scenes still confused and bad animated, episode 24 also feel very rushed and i guess more details and scenes were ommitted. However Kumoko arachne evolution was big and gargeous, at least they do not screw this part like they did with the manga. LN vs manga vs anime arachne evo  Cross fingers for season II but moreover hope they change animation studio and director. ps: Is me or Kumoko have a pretty hard time against Potimas even with the huge amount of skills she have? No way. :D One of the many reasons why people always recommend reading the LN over the Manga. |
| I liked that there is 4 or 5 plotlines going on at once and they rarely intersect, the story seems pretty good, but feels like that was only the introduction. Animation was ok in places but mostly bad, full of still shots and bad cg. I would watch another season with this quality, but i hope for better if it ever gets made. |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| Suddenly, the Demon Lord and Spider and the other (ex-bad guys? xD) are friends and actually the good guys trying to save that world xD The elves in general (Potimas) are actually the bad guys here with all those futuristic weapons and even clones/robots. Well, they played with past and present throughout the anime but wow... they managed to make it very confusing specially in these last episodes. The animation and art are also waving from "wtf" to "acceptable". Not that it managed to change my score for worst, just that it bothered me a bit having it so unstable. The first half of the anime had way more better and consistent art/animation. Despite all of that, in general, it is a very enjoyable anime 8/10 The plot is interesting/intriguing, and with this ending a 2nd season is a must! |

| My thoughts: I was worried about who Wakaba was going to end up being after confirming that what we were seeing was in the past in comparison to the other story. I thought that it could be Ariel since she had some of her memories, although it later ws better explained. I was worried that she was going to be a bad guy, but the big reveal of what sides everyone is actually on and the hidden goals of both sides really put my worries to rest. I think that if Wakaba is in fact the one that killed Julius, theres going to need to be more justification behind it. And I don't know that the others will trust her for a while, even if she told them everything. But I can't wait to find out! In the series, my least favorite thing is the CGI use. The CGI itself is fine, you don't need to hand-draw things all the time, but he 3D use of it kind of makes it feel like less of an anime. You can make 3D models look 2D if you do it right. |

Bit of a spoiler there, but thats interesting. I guess its the same as real life then, and it is hard to take a side from a neutral standpoint if you only know one side. |

| I will miss Kumoko/Shiraori <3 Hope for a second season, AotY for me. Nai wa! XD  |
She opened her eyes and she looks pretty normal.. |
| if you look closely, you'll see she has some small pupils in her eyes. |
| I don't know if this ending was rushed or they just changed a lot going from WN to Manga/LN to Anime. Don't know if Hugo died yet since it wasn't made clear. Ronandt screen time was drastically shortened. It seems robots got mixed in with Potimas' elf village defenses since they were separate as far as I read. Lastly, there should've been one more evolution before the demon king's truce. Not sure if I should be happy we got to this point in such a short time or sad about elements in the story that got taken out. Can't say I want to read the published LN after seeing how much got change from the WN. |

| @groudonvert: Good to know. As for what's so different from the WN, there's quite a long list. 1. Fight with demon lord happens before war breaks out 2. Ronandt revisits the cave and encounters mother Kumoko 3. Ronandt retrains his magic skills within the cave till main body returns with child Julius 4. Kumoko had saved Julius from friendly fire by teleporting him to the cave 5. There, she decides to evolve in order to better communicate with Ronandt 6. After evolving, she tells Ronandt to take Julius with him and train him as his apprentice 7. At some point in the story, she dug several bases underground to lay eggs to transfer to 8. She even encountered ant like creatures and made their nest her own A lot more happens after, but that's potential spoiler material; as it leads to her final transformation. It could be the same or it could be completely different. Hard to imagine it being the same since she is officially with the demon lord now when it should have happened later. As for other events... 9. Shun is given an opportunity to save his family and friends 10. There's a whole rescue mission where Ronandt secretly helps both sides 11. He joins the Empire; and after exposing their arrival, he makes an excuse to make everyone flee 12. Ronandt is seen again in the battle with the elves along with his two disciples 13. There are also machines in this battle but they resemble the spider puppets more than the mecha we see here 14. There are trees for the elves to fight from as apposed to floating in the air like they were here 15. Elves don't coordinate with the machines and only Ronandt is handling them, as they weren't yet directed at the demon army generals I could go on, but some changes actually make sense. There wasn't much reason for the elves to be using the same puppets the demon lord had unless it was the demon lord that stole and made use of them with her offspring. Hugo does die, but I can't say by who since it would be another potential spoiler. I couldn't tell if [these changes were made to make the story less gory or if it all happens] later. I could be wrong on a few things, but that's as much as I remember that can be revealed at this point. |
