Kumo Desu ga, Nanika?

Finished episode 4. Animation is not so bad as the reviews make it out to be. Definitely have seen worse.

It so far is pretty similar to Reincarnated as a slime and isekai, were mc gets reincarnated as a weak monster and the world is video-game like. Looking to see how mc progresses, and hopefully becomes op.

I've read both the novel for reincarnated as a slime and so in a spider so what but I think they did a better job animating it in this one.

By the way most isekai anime comes from a free novel site where normal people can publish their stories so it is normal most is them have a lot in common.

It's what the title says. Normally don't rate shows underway (14 episodes in), but so far a 9 is is the enjoyment I got out of it.

Wonder if it can possibly get better this season...

So, I'm a Spider, So What? (anime series 24 episodes.) A classroom full of high school students are killed by a bomb and reincarnated into another world. All are reincarnated as humans except for a dragon, an elf, and a big Spider who is the main character. The spider begins in a labyrinth while the others find themselves in a kingdom that looks to be from the middle ages.

The show is best when focused on the adventures of the spider who is hilarious, and less so when focused on the others who are being trained for conflict. In the final episodes, the show takes the course of all-out war and a final conflict. Though not a cliffhanger, it does setup future adventures. The end theme for the first dozen shows is a hoot!

Honetly, imdb has this show at a 6.7 and I am confused.

Sure, Isekai's are being churned out at an alarming rate, sure, there's at least several coming out at the same time, sure, the anime isn't as good as the manga, (ill get back to this)

but really though this show is delightful. Its thrilling, creative, engaging, cute and hilarious. Its the only show I managed to even find a will to actually follow this season (aside from attack on titan), but not only did I follow this one, I went off and read the manga.

I gave it an 8. but I enjoy it like a 9.

back to the manga, which is important because the anime took a different route and added all this content about the other characters aside from the protagonist and well its dreadful. I get why they are doing it, but honestly I would rather watch a stripped version of the show without them. Its stealing time from the main character who is a precious sparkling gem.

This show reminds me of "Bofuri: I dont want to get hurt...", its cute and charming, zero-to-hero isekai power gaming. Though obviously there are difference but I love them both so much so.

I could go off about some later spoilers to help sell it which would be worth it, but ill say instead, the game mechanics are more than just cool (and broken) but very interesting, they lead to truly fascinating ideas and concepts. The show also has a few philosophical elements.

Enjoy : )
