This anime was enjoyable, mostly by the merits of the MC alone. The storytelling is very reminiscent of Baccano, shifting back and forth between two differing Point of Views. It can be confusing at times, but things start making sense as more information is revealed later in the story.

The story itself was serviceable, with the various training arcs Kumoko goes through being quite fun as she finds herself in more precarious situations each time. She often encounters opponents with higher stats than her, and must try to outwit them even from disadvantaged positions.

The anime becomes a bit of a chore when it ... transitions towards the perspective of Kumoko's classmates as they are not as well characterised as her and end up putting a wet blanket over whatever fun the viewer was having with Kumoko. The story also ends just as the "Evil" Faction's motives are about to be discussed and Kumoko starts to get involved with the main plot.

All the characters were generic besides Kumoko and whoever Kumoko interacted with, as well as the teacher who had some character development towards the end.

The animation in this anime is middling at best. Extensive use of CGI during some fight scenes made them look like a PS2 cutscenes, while some moments which involved many projectiles on screen were animated quite appropriately.

I think this anime is worth the watch even if just for the MC alone, as her antics never fail to amuse.
