Is the KumoDesu anime good? No. Is the KumoDesu anime bad? Yes. Very much so. It is fairly ambitious with how it tries to presents two different timelines and frequently switches between them. This sort of made the story more engaging easily making it the most bearable and enjoyable aspect and thats saying something considering that over 50 of the anime was mind numbingly boring. Story I personally enjoyed some of the story despite its shortcomings. We start off with Kumoko a high school student reincarnated into a spider who is in a labyrinth and her classmates reincarnated as normal humans with the exception of a few. The first half of the anime gets pretty repetitive as it follows the same cycle of Kumoko finding a strong monster killing it eating it and finding a stronger monster. Although it does get better in the second half as we begin to learn more about the world through Kumokos perspective. The world building was appealing enough to make me want to continue the anime. Then theres the human side that serves almost no purpose other than boring the viewer to death. Characters Meh. Kumokos jokes and witty comments get stale very quickly but she manages to remain more entertaining than any other character. The main human characters follow every classic cliche there is. Shun a brocon who is obsessed with justice as much as he is with his brother. Then theres Hugo the villain whose motives are almost non existent because of how stupid they are. I watched 24 episodes of this anime yet Im barely able to recollect major human character names. Animation Yeah this sucks massive balls. The action direction is so crazy that it turns into a slideshow. Its just so half assed at points. Imagine any kind of fighting scene and that would still be better than what we got in KumoDesu. The action sequences were so well done that I would rather skip to the end than torture my eyes. Atleast we got a scene where the camera went under Hugos clothes in the final episodes. Truly the peak of this series. Soundtrack Besides the second opening I wasnt a big fan of the rest. The first ending was kind of cute I guess? Conclusion This is the same studio that did the critically acclaimed adaptation of Berserk so I dont want to judge the whole series just by the adaption. I can see the potential this series has but this adaptation aint it. The animes high moments were quickly overshadowed by the lows human side of the story. If you want to watch anime just for its story KumoDesu is pretty solid as it sucks at every other aspect.
