... Story: 7/10
The story follows the life of kumoko (the spider girl) and schlain (The human side), at first the fact that this anime has 2 focus characters is already gives a new value to the isekai genre. It proves how the story is brave enough to separate from the typical isekai stories, by giving a monster perspective of isekai life and a character that doesn't focus on OP power scaling or harem fanservice stuff but more on how they can develop progressive power to fight an enemy that way more powerful than both of them, this what makes me believe that this is one of the most underrated stories this season. so what they give? the stories want to paint a different point of view by focusing on kumoko struggles on living as a small spider girl in a dungeon full of monsters that thousand times bigger and powerful. this anime focusing on character development in every aspect from their personality, humor, and power scaling, she always needs to live in life and death situations to survive her usual day by day. in other side we meet schalin, the human side that has normal power scaling as everybody else, even tho that he is a prince. everybody said that the story on the human side is boring, I passionately disagree with that, I think the story has many things to value because it brings the background of the story like how their life before, what they value, and what they will face in the future, and they have other monsters like feirune that have interesting character traits dan background. understand that this is not anime that has human OP stuff, but more on the monster that has more OP power stuff. you will feel more attached to the story compares to another isekai story out there.

This is the part that everybody hates, and tbh as a person that not a CGI elite, I feel the disappointment toward the art in this anime is normal, personally from the studio that creating berserk, I don't expect much. even AOT needs to put certain CGI to help fill the gap for the story, so for the anime that just a budget isekai anime, I think they have done it well. the fact that they have 24 episodes to work on, I think is a logical move. but for me, it's not even a bad CGI, and tbh its makes kumoko way funnier and matches for some reason, so I enjoy it so much. take a note that the drawing on the human side doesn't use CGI and looks good, so don't drop this anime just because of the art, because it will develop more later, it deserves your try.

Sound: 8/10
The sound for kumoko is great and well-voiced, I can't believe that Aoi Yuuki has this witty and humorous side of voice. his voice makes the character so interesting to watch, how his reaction toward a certain condition is just pure gold, it fits so much, and I can't believe that I simp for spider because of it. you will not disappoint by kumoko voice 100%, for other characters it's mediocre. for the background music and ending theme (really important) is fun to hear because it delivers a certain vibe that fits kumoko personality, like a genuine fun vibe. even in a stressful condition, I still can feel that the sound gives such a vibe.

character : 9/10
Kumoko kumoko kumoko, I think I need to keep repeating the name for you to remember that Kumoko is the best character for this series and really what makes this series so enjoyable, from his past, his hobby, his progress, his wittiness, his humor, his reaction, everything about her is well round a perfect example of a likable character that deserve your emotion and attention, such an underrated character for this season. kumoko has this realistic reaction toward his situation, and somehow has this relatable story that pumps your curiosity on her. it's fun to see kumoko try to grow as a strong likable spider from a girl that closing himself from the real world. for other characters that really interest me a lot is feirune, the other monster that lives in the human side with schlain, because she has the background that relates toward kumoko. from someone that has a bad villain's side to a dragon that feels sorry for his past action and tries to grow himself as a better person, for another character is forgettable.

enjoyable: 8/10
Kumo desu ga nani ka? really brings new hope for me to watch the isekai genre again, because of how boring isekai anime nowdays. it's just your typical OP mc with harem fanservice stuff, yack. this is the anime that I seek for a long time, the anime that wanting to deliver another perspective in an isekai world. what if you become a monster, what if you are weak, what if you are alone, what if you die. this is a type of thing that spices the isekai genre, not just some deus ex machina and plot armor stuff. and it gets more interesting for now because of how the story paints the enemy as something that so powerful, in contrast with the good guys that just NPC power scaling.

so this for me I just want to say don't sleep on this anime, it deserves your attention. it will not disappoint you even you dislike the art of anything. you will love it
