Guided by what seems to be a miracle, a handful of students are fortunate enough to be reincarnated into another world as nobles, princes, and other kinds of people with prestigious backgrounds. One girl, however, is not so lucky. Being reborn as a spider of the weakest kind, she immediately experiences the hardships of her dire situation.

I’ve been looking forward to it for a while!

This did not disappoint! Wow did she have some messed up things to deal with. I’m so glad they started from the hatching! Spider life is so fascinating. I can’t believe she did t try to shoot webs at the frog prey in her web to close its mouth though. Maybe she thought it wouldn’t work? Either way, here’s hoping she meets up with the other group of isekai’d folks at some point soon because she’s going to have troubles all on her own.

Just watched the first episode. It's a nice anime so far but it didn't completely get me hooked yet. The main character seems to be a fighter! (Or more like a video game nerd.) Compared to the other reincarnated students we saw so far she reincarnated into a more dangerous environment so it's great that she's doing well as tiny spider! What I don't like is the CGI looks of the monsters :/ The spider I can endure but that frog just looked awful. : No wonder it tasted so shit xD > I’m so glad they started from the hatching! Same here! I also like that she has to aquire all the skills from scratch. I'm guesing the human kids already have loads of skills because according to some outsiders those they're supposed to be talented.

Episode 1 This is the only isekai anime I've seen so far with so many isekaied characters. Tensura had several but this one isekaied a hole classroom full of high schoolers! Dam! It was nice to see our newborn nameless spidey-chan build her skills from scratch. But. Spiders. Kumo. Kimoh....... I wonder how long the others have been learning to fit into this world and control their powers. Did they start from birth like Kumo-chan or did they just wake up in their new bodies? O.O > The spider I can endure but that frog just looked awful. : No wonder it tasted so shit xD : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Omg that cliffhanger, whyyyyyy? : I wanna see that evolution! (Even though it's probably shown in the opening lol) Guess I'll have to wait until next week sigh We found out more about Wakaba's firmer life. She was bullied and didn't fit in, really sad :/ I was so annoyed at that girl for bullying her!! But then we found out it's the one who's a dragon now and that she regrets it a lot so I can't hate her as much as I thought I would. I know she might just regret it because she's not a human anymore and thinks it's her punishment but still, it's good that she's reflecting on her bad behaviour. But that aside, I wouldn't even be sad about being a dragon, it sounds awesome : It was also fun to see Wakaba building her house and how she finally fiund a place that she could call home. Made it even more sad that it got shortly after though :/ BUT that just gave her more resolve, instead of being all sad about it forever she decided that she wants to become stronger, which is awesome! It would be cool if she can get fire resistant webs at some point. Or more different types of webs in general. Another thing I want to say is that I'm pretty sure the dragon that was attacking the humans is probably the mother (or father) of that egg they stole. I don't think the egg is insignificant.

Wow! She caught a human! We learned a bunch about the relationships between the high school students and learned that they were at least aware that she reincarnated too and allegedly looking for her. How convenient that her tormentor is also a non-human. Also she’s doing pretty darned well with her plan and powering up. I legit thought she was going to go reclaim the dragon egg and befriend it when it hatched. How cool would that have been?! Anyways, I wonder what will happen when the spider and Fei meet. > Another thing I want to say is that I'm pretty sure the dragon that was attacking the humans is probably the mother (or father) of that egg they stole. I don't think the egg is insignificant. ohh that could be. Interesting thought. I’m sure the egg is important enough for the adventurers to come back in force and burn the cave to pieces over it. That’s for sure. > But that aside, I wouldn't even be sad about being a dragon, it sounds awesome Hard same. Just goes to show how tacky she is. Seriously. A bully and hating on being a dragon.

Episode 2 Our li'l Kumo-chan is going through so much hardship ;A; And that bully Fei is just having an easy life as a royal pet. She wouldn't even have realized her wrongdoings if she hadn't gotten a "karmic" bite in the arse =.= But the egg Kumo-chan had gotten - and later lost to humans - belonged to the earth dragon species, didn't it? The same species as the bully's reincarnation. No wonder those humans were so desperate. > I legit thought she was going to go reclaim the dragon egg and befriend it when it hatched. How cool would that have been?! I was kinda looking forward to seeing that... : > It was also fun to see Wakaba building her house and how she finally found a place that she could call home. Made it even more sad that it got shortly after though :/ Even I felt devastated when it burned down. Can't imagine how Wakaba must have felt :

Glad we’re all on the same page here. > I was kinda looking forward to seeing that... I know, right? We need to write these stories ourselves lol> Even I felt devastated when it burned down. Can't imagine how Wakaba must have felt Yeah, she had such a comfy bed and rooms and everything! :

Whoa she’s getting really advanced with this evolution. That’s nifty. I’m glad she was able to acquire two skills. And she’s leveling up quickly so that’s a bonus. She ate that whole fricking snake! What happened to spiders only drinking the liquified bodily fluids of their prey? Guess monsters are different. Oof, this guy is really serious about becoming the strongest and competing with Fei’s owner, huh? I knew the dragon was gonna show up as soon as they went outside. I actually thought their training was gonna be to fight it but I guess that would’ve been a bit much for planned training. So Fei attacked her parent and is a kin eater like our spider eh? Wonder what buffs she’s gonna get? Whoa—poor girl fell right into the Pit of Despair! That’s a level 37 Earth Dragon. Is she going to be okay?! I have serious concerns.

weebywitch

at least the dragon walked right past her but damn did she have a rough time afterwards. The battles with the monkeys were fantastic!! I was so enthralled. She really adapted and overcame to make it through. She seriously declined an evolution?! And then went straight into lava, wtf?!

negatibuhige

Episode 4 The monsters were soooooooooooo bad. Like. Ugh. I can't watch this. Like, literally. > And then went straight into lava, wtf?! How much more will our newborn have to suffer -.-

weebywitch

Whoa. That magma was no joke. At least she decided to go the smart route and evolve. But those options though—she really hit the jackpot with the skills available. God? Pride? Demon King? Hades? Abyss? She’s going to be super duper badass once she can unlock them and activate them. It looks like Fei is getting stronger too. That classmate who’s a fanatic and wants to kill everyone with a taboo skill is a bit scary though. Need to do something about her for sure. And dude, she’s found a delicacy in that catfish, dangerous lol. Even more interesting is that the hero is about to enter her domain. Will they meet? Oh my.

negatibuhige

>Demon King? This part made me wonder if we're witnessing the birth of a "Demon King" : > That classmate who’s a fanatic and wants to kill everyone with a taboo skill is a bit scary though. Need to do something about her for sure. Are you talking about the religious fanatic? Seeing that girl kinda gave me a new perspective. I mean, the isekaied souls can't completely change the host personality. But I am still confused if the students were brought into these hosts at birth, or the people had already grown up. If it's the latter, I kinda feel sorry for the hosts .-. > Even more interesting is that the hero is about to enter her domain. Will they meet? Yessss!!! I'm excited about this as well!! :

They said she was raised by the church or whatever and that’s why she’s like that. Basically she got brainwashed.

weebywitch

She keeps getting stronger and stronger. It’s so awesome. Not just getting more skills but getting to unlock and use the ones she’s already acquired. Good stuff. So the hero really was there for a spider—one related to her somehow even. So it’s like a glimpse into her future or alternate realities. Plus we got to see a demon lord. Fun times indeed.

> So the hero really was there for a spider—one related to her somehow even. When they were talking about the target being a Taratect, I was like "eh? this couldn't be our kumo-chan, could it?" Apparently not. Good. I just want her to get out of that monster infested dungeon or whatever it is. She is powering up, yes, but she deserves some rest as well xD

weebywitch

She picked up her first evil eye (curse) and cursed a frog to death then maxed out appraisal! Now she’s gearing weird things?! Hmm so the little else girl knows about our kumo? What’s this about not getting too many skills because they’re dangerous? Sounds scary. These groups might be problematic. I hope that the two princes can patch things up. OMG Did he just kill another student? That guy is power mad and seriously yabai. I’m glad Oka stepped in when she did and intervened. Shun learned a lesson too. Luckily the others weren’t killed but damn. That was scary! Oh my. She’s getting skills that she requested? Is it really a game? And Natsume is making deals with random creepy females... kowaii kowaii kowaii.
