I absolutely love those scenes where we get to see her from someone else's pov, n remember/realise she only looks cute to herself. To everyone else, she's still a bloody terrifying spider monster. Once you keep that in the back of your mind, every scene where she interacts with people, is just so much better

This was a weirdly good show. Like sure some directing choices weren’t my favorite and I had to get used to the cgi but overall I had something to look forward to for 24 weeks

The kid needing medical treatment is a little bit more disturbing in the novel She basically cuts open the kid then starts pulling out diseased organs and using her magic to regrow new ones

Actually Shun sticking around and fighting even when hopelessly outmatched is a satiric take on that common anime trope. Trying to do that seriously is going to be a short trip into a shallow grave. Shun is meant to be a caricature of a stock Shounen Isekai Hero. He’s young, he’s hardworking and talented, he inspires people, everyone who isn’t an amoral asshole loves him, he’s completely oblivious to the feelings people have for him and he embodies all those flowery ideals of never giving up, the power of friendship and overall being a hero. But he’s not in that sort of story. He’s almost frustratingly naive, compared to his enemies he’s laughably weak and unskilled, said enemies understand what’s going on far better than he does, he drags his friends into his unwinnable fights and gets them hurt trying to help him because he’s too proud to back down, the power of friendship is a bad joke that won’t bridge the gap in power at all, and his heroics only serve to cause more issues by virtue of his ignorant behaviour. This sort of story favours a pragmatic mindset over a virtuous one. Where circumstances do not construe to enable an idealistic consequence. Also you keep saying plot twist. I don’t think it means what you think it means. A plot development is not the same as a twist.

Wasn't sure if you figured out the time element, but all the class got reincarnated at the same time. Our main gal reincarnated as a spider and so her story and evolution all happened in a short time frame. All the other class had to grow through normal aging processes and so by the time they're reacting to our gal's past it had already been 10+ years. That's why they find her taratects in the cave where mother was (after she reincarnated with egg skill) and why seemingly the demon lord changes personality between the past and present. I really loved the time element of this show, was super super awesome

I still crack the hell up at the whole fortress crumbling while she is like "I was never here......"

For anyone who liked the anime I *strongly* recommend reading the novels, it's one of the best stories you'll gonna read, the first act covered by the anime is only an appetizer compared to acts 2 and 3. The anime unfortunately skipped quite a bit of stuff to pretty much finish of the 1st act within 24 episodes and I *dearly* hope they don't do the story dirty like that in potential future seasons.

There two time periods was so expertly crafted that when you look back you smack your face at the obvious hints. It was Sophia the Vampire being in both periods that made me realize what was up but then when D revealed the backstory of why everyone reincarnated everything clicked into place. You do have to wonder how powerful Kumoko got in-between the team up with the Demon Lord Ariel and their assault on the elf village. Seeing as Sophia was still a helpless baby I suspect Kumoko living in the Labyrinth was like only 6 months to a year of power leveling, just imagine how much more skills she gained in the 15 or so years and you have one op spider girl.

People: Talk about this show and the plot twists Light Novel Readers: *dying of laughter*

I remembered back in the days when the anime didn't even aired yet and me and a friend of mine started theorizing about the timelines and who each of the classmates were, even making a list of our own in order to pinpoint who the spider could be. It felt amazing to figure out the diferent timelines before the manga told us, even better because the manga doesn't show the heroe's part at all!

This is great timing. The Web novel finally finished up recently and I have to say, there are plot twists right to the very end. Its incredible that the author managed to wrap all of these crazy timelines into a coherent story. This author is god-like.

Let me tell you this as someone who read the novel, there will be so many more plot twists, it's going to get so much better

Something they skipped in the anime is that Shun's other brother got captured and the group went to rescure him. But he was beheaded alongside Katja's parents right before their eyes. And then Shun used the same OP skill he used to revive Katja after her (by the way successful) suicide attempt to reattach their heads. And he got his Taboo bumped up considerably by doing so. All the reincarnations got conceived in this world at the same time. But unlike the Humans who went through the 9 month of pregnancy, Kumoko hatched really quickly. The Shuun story-line kicks off when he's 15 if I remember correctly. So at the start of the anime the story lines are about 15 years apart. But Kumokos story-line moves along faster, so at the end of the anime, when Kumoko gets her new body they are some 12 to 13ish years apart. And yes that means that when she evolved into this half-spider half-human monster she's just a little over two years old.

If im remembering right, I think i kinda figured it out with the different time jumps and such when it mentioned Julius's scarf was made from a special spider silk and was given to him as a child, so thats when I connected the dots that she was like, reincarnated before the others and that the time line following her and following the human cast were different jumps in the story/ time

Ill be honest the story of kumo is amazing (honestly my no 1 out of all the ln, animes and manga i have seen) the anime is a disaster tho... main reason being (im not sure about the full story but) the studio that was in charge of the 3d animation ( i think it was the one that did the bad beserk) dropped out or refused to continue the production half wayish thorught the making of the show leaving the other studio in charge of the rest of the work. story wise it gets a 8/10 when compared to the ln just because of some changes that i feel like they mess with the pacing but kumokos vc was absolutly amazing for this and basicly ran the show :) and like i always say on anything about kumo please read or listen to the ln to get an extra few layers of story including some missed scenes and extra chapters that are like extra stories love yall and have a good night

I think it’s important to mention that this anime was very hard to produce as they lost a ton of their work and the last episode was even delayed a week because of it

the way the scenes were assembled was to show both kumoko's growth as well as the rest of her classmates'. it's only when they introduced a few story elements (the scarf, the dragon egg, the wall's breach) that you start noticing something's not right and the timelines may actually be separated. i'm so glad it didn't take a season 2 to understand all this, as opposed to re:zero, and i can't wait to see season 2 (hopefully for late 2022)

you still missed one of the big plot twists, FROM season 1 they were setting her up as the demon lord. "i've fought a earth dragon" kills the earth dragon in s1. her spider themed clothing (the "Tails" of har garb) and abilities (the spider silk), so when the demon lord showed up to blast her away in the ocean it was a big moment for me. then watching "Body" attack the demon lords mind and "fuse" their personalities a bit (talked about during the show, not in your clips though) i though she might take over the demon lord as a host, especially after the big fight that reincarnated her in the egg. then when she got the humanoid body and such you saw that they were going to be different people AND that she was working with the demon lord/ possibly puppet the DL, it made things more interesting and still super satisfying with her teaming up with the DL in the end.

also the fact the teacher only called for help from head elf guy after one of her kids died (you can see one of the names is crossed off) was a really nice touch I think

I think the thing about the daylight and her vs daylight and the rest was that we have seen her only in the dark dank underworld so suddenly having her in a completely different environment made me just do a double-check and go "Oh yeah, she hasn't been outside before!". Comparatively the others have been outside from day 1 so seeing them in a more natural environment is not a shock to the system. When they were in the labyrinth my brain was telling me "Wait this is her domain not theirs, they should be outside it is where they belong" which really added to the unnerving feeling.

The timeline in this anime is confusing as hell, and I can understand why you were confused. I myself took a while before I understood what's going on. I basically found out when it was revealed that Julius' scarf was made from spider silk. My mind instantly reminded myself that human beings need time to grow, and if they all reincarnate at the same time. Kumoko had 15 years of non stop training and danger while the others were able to live mostly normal lives.

26:18 "l'm happy potimas is alive" All of the LN/WN readers: "I'm not"

the first time i watched this anime was when it was being released and i noticed the animation so i only watched it if i had nothing else to watch but the story is actually good so if it had more budget it would be SO damn good

One of my favorite bits in the light novel is when Administrator D called Kumoko (I think after she had just evolved and D was giving Kumoko the rundown on why everyone died), and during the conversation she finds out that D has Japanese snacks. D even taunts her, saying she has ice cream. So Kumoko says she's going to slap her in the face and steal her ice cream. Also, what wasn't shown in the anime is what Kumoko did to the sick mother and child. Healing magic can't fix things like cancer. Instead, she uses magic to knock them out, then uses her scythe legs to perform pretty graphic surgery to cut out the defective organs, then healing magic to grow new ones. Also also, if they get around to making a season 2, we have drunk Kumoko to look forward to. Turns out, Kumoko is a chatty drunk.

Still kinda insane how quick you put these out , damn you work way too hard but the product a awesome as usual

Wait until youi learn that the story only keeps getting better at an incredible pace from this point on.

After realizing who everyone was at the end and connecting the time periods together, I rewatched it from episode 1 and i must say it was a much better experience finally understanding who person A is and why X area looks like this. The writing is amazing and I'm definitely gonna read the light novel

I didn't figure out the timeline plot twist until after we saw Julius square off with the Demon lord and Wakaba spider. I knew there were multiple different timelines, but I didnt realize that they were still not even close to merging. Wakaba spider had her own timeline. The human heros had their own timeline. Then Wakaba Human had her short glimpses thrown in every once in a while. I didn't even know that Wakaba Human was Wakaba Spider until she evolved that last time to have the human torso. When done correctly and done well, separate timelines all merging into one can throw off the solving of mysteries for a long time and it is so enjoyable when we finally see the whole map of what was done. This anime did it pretty well.

As someone who read the novels, I'm just gonna say, you were happy and felt relief for the safety of certain characters, your gonna hate that in the future. The only spoiler I'm gonna give is that in the end there is one universally agreed upon bad guy. Everyone else is both in the wrong and in the right when it comes to their goals.

And there are still many plot twist that will make your mind get blown away. Hopefully Kadokawa can give this series some better treatments in S2 not only just budget, but schedule and quality. I don't mind which studio name as long as they're doing well.

I remember thinking that there was like 10 years of difference between Kumoku and the other guys when we first saw the earth dragon egg from kumoko point of view and also in the future when she's born

*DUDE i absolutely adored this entire video, this is one of my favourite animes of all time- and it clearly shows through your videos how much passion you have for anime, I love it.*

highly recommend the light novels if you don't want to wait for season 2, they are excellent

Hey animewins I just want you to know I use your channel as a personal anime recommendation list I love your videos as its perfect for grtting an idea of the first few episodes. When you released part 1 of spider I binged the entire series in a day and went on to read the web comic, thank you for all the time intensive work you do(black clover mustve taken forever)

after reading the translated light novel volumes i cant wating for more content

Definitely gotta try that LN man. Its so good and the plot just comes together so well and the MC's personality is so darn well communitcated... AHHH. If you do read, start at Volume 1 as the prior chapters have alot of detail and scenes that are not mentioned in the show. Apart from that, if you really want to start where the show ends, then that'll be volume 6. And make sure its the actual LN, if you read online, it may be the WN but I believe the stories differ somehow? Anyhow, definitely good for free time.

i figured out the whole thing of the whole 2 time periods when they said they rescued fei's egg 10 years ago and it was clearly the same egg that kumoko had a few episodes back

As a light novel reader all I have to say is oh god the twists have twists. It is a treat.

The "last minute plot twist" you mentioned at the end has actually been obvious since the end of the previous episode. If you remembered her name, you should have known. Wakaba's human form, called by the fandom as "White" before the reveal that they're one and the same, has the same face as pre-reincarnation (other reincarnations recognised her by first glance), and it's the same face as the form she's taken at the begining of the last episode. (Warning: The rest of the comment contains stuff spoiler-inducing [as in, if you remember the entire show, this info will cause you to get spoiled]) When it comes to names, reincarnations have 2, one of them being their name they got in this world, and the other their pre-reincarnation name.

The OP was sung by Suzuki Konomi. So yes, she also did Redo for Re zero. At least I'm guessing that's the one it reminded you of.

39:43 is same for everyone. Literaly no one knew whats in the future and whats in the past until that exact scene in the end.

3:30 That foreshadowing though...

The CGI issues near the end were caused by Rona and struggles to offload works to the usual overseas animators they previously did. And if you check, yes, this is done by the creators of Berserk 2017. They are getting better but alas still getting there. Spider is almost assuredly getting a second season so let's hope they won't have massive scheduling issues in that one.

I can't believe I missed the release of this. Also I think the build-up for the revelation of the end of the world in episode 10 was handled really well through the Taboo skill. It does give some vibe that it's kind of an information that was *_not_* quite supposed to be discovered as it *is* taboo. And it was being built-up and creeping in right from the episode 1.

If you did really love the anime, I'd highly suggest starting the light novels. The story is basically as you said, a total plot twist and turns basically every trope on it's head. ( MAJOR SPOILERS) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I will say the story after this is a bit slower as the parts with shun and the humans then the fight with the elves at the very is end is the main climax of the story. And the novels basically just play catch up to that. Showing how the demon lord and kumoko became friendly, how she became shiro, how she got a full human form, who/what potimas and the elves truly are, the mechs, and a lot more.

Talk about effective advertising, "Raid Shadow Legends" is a meme at this point.

i started this with the light novels, and the timelines are even more unclear in the beginning. it took like until the 3rd or 4th book until it became clear, but then it was so clear, i felt dumb for not instantly realizing... the overall Lore is really quite good and many things have been told already. like why the elves have those machines, why the world has that skill system and also why the demons and some administrators are against it. but the best part is, that we are also told who Shiroo (our spider-chan was named by Ariel, the demon lord) was before that reincarnation.

Took you long enough to figure it out. But it's fine like this. Figuring it out too early honestly dampens the reveal something fierce. Really wish I didn't figure it out by the time we started seeing Wakaba use her evil eye skills for the first time. (though that only confirmed what I suspected since the introduction of the demon lord...) There is such a thing as getting spoilers solely from yourself. It's fun thinking it through, but at the same time, not that great. It's mostly why I insist that my friends withold ANY information related to things I like. Because otherwise I tend to end up figuring out the whole plot on the spot, even off of trivial bits of information. -_-

To explain the timeline a bit more, everything that's main spider girl's perspective is when everyone first got reincarnated and everyone is a baby. 15 years after that is what's happening in the perspective of new hero boi. For example that vampire baby that spider girl is trying to protect is the same vampire that used to be the student nicknamed Spooky.

This story becomes more and more amazing each volume of the novel, it's actually insane. Prepare to have your gray matter blown off

The twist at the end was probably one of my favorite parts. I am so happy that I watched the sub first, because I watched the dub afterwards and it was so obvious that they were the same person.

As I've said before, this anime did an incredible job of keeping you guessing, including using the tactic of making you _think_ you've realized something, then pulling the rug out from under you.

Part of the problem with the animation in the second cour of the season is Millipense got screwed over by the studios that the subcontracted. It was apparently so bad that they had to reanimate many segments from scratch in some cases. I forget which episode it was, but one of the episodes was even postponed a week because it simply wasn’t ready for air. Add the impacts from COVID on top of that and they just had to deal with the ultimate nightmare. So while the animation was not good, it was a miracle it was as good as it looked. The story itself as well as the character development saved it from being a total disaster, not to mention the work done by Aoi Yuuki in voicing Kumoko and Shiraori (White).

One element from the light novels that the anime doesn't fully capture is the mystery of Spider's identity in the future timeline. When you figure out the fact that the humans story is over 10 years after what is going on with Spider a question presents itself... Who is Spider in the future? And the author, for several books, keeps dropping hints that it is the Demon lord. That she has spider powers, her outgoing attitude which mirrors how Spider acts in her mind, she mentions having fought an Earth Dragon before, she shows knowledge of the reincarnations... And all that time there is White, standing loyally behind her back, silent as the grave. PS: I'm a bit sad that I wasn't able to fully immerse myself in the mystery since I read the manga first and was pretty sure Spider couldn't be the Demon lord. But I still appreciated the skill with which the author built up to that plot twist. To my mind. If you want the full experience of trying to untangle the mysteries of the two timelines and all the different factions, the light novels should be your entry into the series.

Shiraori (Kumoko in the form we see her at the end) is #1 Waifu and my opinion will not change. also Aoi Yuki is a top tier VA this means that as some point we'll need a wins-sins for "Ive killed slimes for 300 years and maxed my level" since she voices the main character and sings the opening there too ;)

As somebody who read the novel so many times I basically have it memorized before the Anime even got announced, it's nice being able to see a big highlights of what they anime did well and seeing a noob to the series's reactions.

I see the production house setting their animation budget priorities straight as deserving at least 10 wins.

It is FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!!

In the manga unlike the anine, the cancer was actually taken out professionally, by cutting out the sick tissue and following it by regrowth of the cut out tissue. Great video.

A little side fact: Shuns scarf is made from kumokos first home that got destroyed by humans. I put the pieces together when I saw baby Vampy and adult Vampy fighting against Shuun .

little fact about the scene in which she heals the boy and his mother: in the light novel she made them unconcious and cutting out their organs which she healed than afterwards back

Okina baba is what I would describe as a new generation of light novelist. This light novel approaches damn near perfect. I can't humanly recommend it higher. All the acts have their own unique charm. And yet somehow all mesh together into one fully coherent story.

I love the fact that each of the reincarnations has a crap ton of skill points to distribute, while White had almost none ^^ 21:15 Is great foreshadowing. Edit: 40:00 I think most Light Novel readers knew, the action further down the line hits much harder. The anime finishes at the end of volume 5 of the novel.

I honestly can’t believe that Kumoko’s VA is the same VA for Rita Rosweisse in Honkai Imapct 3rd - the two voices are so completely different that if you didn’t know, you wouldn’t know. Aoi Yuuki is such an incredibly talented VA.

FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for so long!

Now we just have to wait for the REAL shoe to drop as to what is actually going on. Those skills you love are far more important than you realize just yet. I can't wait for that reaction.

I loved this anime to death. Loved it all. Great second half video! Can't wait for season two (fingers crossed!) and of course your take on it.

Love this! Been waiting, thank you!! ❤️

Jauhhh! I have waited for this. Your videos are great.!

36:28 literally EVERYONES reaction to this

IIIIT FINALLY CAME AND THIS VID IS EPIIIIC

Thank you for this. Love your videos!!!🥳🥳

I know it's very unlikely, But as you've mentioned how it's one of your favorite anime, just curious if you ever thought about doing a video on ore monogatari (My Love Story)? Anyway thanks for introducing me to a ton of new anime over the last couple of years!

you started writing the script on my birthday XD good video thank you for all the good content

As I said in the first part of this video. I love your commentary. The things you love at and point out are the best part of this video.

Hey we love you face!! Great video as always

Dude yes I’ve been waiting for this

Yes I have been waiting for this

I think most people figured out what was going on with the two seperate plots once the silk scarf was revealed, along with the explanation that the dragon egg was also found there. It's the first time the two stories link through an item (that being the scarf) and it solves all the questions.

YES, really with some assumptions its clear from the first episode, if their all born then obviously kumikos segment cannot be in the current time since humans dont age that fast also im surprised you didnt get it when the party exited the dungeon, the guy talks about it like the whole incident is ancient history

I am so excited for an 2nd Season on that Anime. It is crazy

I was reluctant to see this show because of the abuse of CGI but once I starting seen it, the story sold to me and can't stop watching.

ONI-KUN!!! MY BOI!!! MY CHILD!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (I’m so glad KumoDesu’s anime is getting a season 2 eventually, we waited so long for season one to come out for it to just end there)

Personally I'd give more wins to the scenes of talking about army movement or battle plans. Purely because a lot of isekai's and such with large wars just leave those out or make it super brief

Do you know Kaggyfilms? Turns out he voiced Shun (Hero), made me want to be a VA

If you go back to the early episodes you will see hints about all of the plot twists, including some not yet revealed in the first season.

I ve been waiting for this :D

A little spoiler if they make seasson 2: If you think you´ve seen all the plot twists then you´ve seen nothing yet.

I really like your content. Keep up the good work!!!!

I was waiting for this

I didnt know but if u do go back and watch it u can see her in the background whenever we see the present day demon lord

can't wait to see your reaction to the upcoming PLOT TWISTS

I really like two story play alongside each others and as we going further to the stories everything seems to come together and, this is anime that would never get a second season treatment

Welp waited for this for so ffing long tnk god its out

Loved the review~! This has to be by far one of my favorite animes rihgt now besides made in abyss. Next one you should do is tsukimichi if you like outlandish isekais~!!

I just finished to read the novel (just till the anime goes) and then find out one of my favorite anime channels recently posted about Spyder-Chan. Noice!

I actually agree with everything you said good about this anime word for word

When I saw the sensei with the students at the banquet I noticed that she was a lot younger looking than the others and that made me realize the elves in this world grow slower so then I wondered about how fast the main character was gonna be growing compared to the other kids and I remembered the dragon egg that she had that the adventures took that was Faye

First and great anime and super duper good video love that u love this anime
