8/10
Carried by Aoi Yuki
26 October 2021
I really enjoyed this show and honestly I wasn't bothered to much by the CGI as it was good for the most part.

The premise of the show is really simple. You have a group of students that are reborn into a new world as different people/creatures. The main character becomes a spider voiced by Aoi Yuki.

And I really have to say that Kumoko (our main character) is the one carrying the show because of how good the voice actress does her job. She also is the singer of both ending songs and they are both also amazing (I really love the second ending).

The writing is pretty solid when it comes down to what Kumoko does. Unfortunately the other characters and stories are a bit boring but they are necessary for world building and to drive the story forward. This show has 24 episodes in season one and I had a lot of fun watching them even with the weaker episodes that centered around the side characters.

I'd really love to see a season 2 as season 1 left us on a big cliffhanger.

One thing I need to mention is that towards the last few episodes there are some issues with pacing and the animation. My guess is that they ran into budget issues. Still in my opinion it doesn't damage the overall experience and that is a pretty wild ride...
