Yikes, an enounter with a big spider.

I think sometimes, Kenichi should prepare himself before trying to get items in places he isn't prepared for. Well whatever, this anime is more about finding items. He should definitely be more careful where he goes though.

Nice episode title. I really liked that anime even though they killed it.

Anyway, I get that the budget is so tight for this anime but it man it's getting very bad. Ignoring the cgi, lots of scene werent animated. I don't mind it though but it did affect my enjoyment.

See, I'm not picky with animation, I often don't mind as long as I'm enjoying the story and the characters, but wow that was ugly--

Anyway, about the episode, Anemone using explosion magic was cute. Maybe if she masterizes it she can use it even more (as long as she doesn't start passing out after using the magic, like a certain other girl..... lol)

"Explooosionnnn!"
"Sold!"
Anyway, "household magic" seems way more practical.

Anemone rather than trying for "We'll defeat dragons!" I suggest starting with 'We'll run from spiders."

Shortest training arc ever in anime.

Primula "EEyaaahhhhh!"
A perfectly reasonable reaction, even with Kenichi standing there with a sh!t eating grin pointing at the catch.

Glum Viscountess, mention of summoned iron bests, episode The Story of Canals, is Kenichi branching out into public works construction?

Obligatory comment on animation quality: So, it's a Spider, how could we even tell with these crap visuals?

Clearly they blew the budget in the first few episodes, but I dont really care about the animation quality. What irked me was the quality of plot, characters, and world building dropped off too

I came here mid-watch to see how much other people were talking about this.
It's like they lost the model sheets in a fire.

EDIT: Oh shit! It is just a slideshow now.

At the rate things are going, next episode will be sketches and the episode after that the VAs with hand puppets.

Today was Anemone's time to shine, even if it was launching magic tricks like a certain EXPLOSION fanatic, crimson archmage:





Frankly, this is the first episode where I can say: Yeah, the quality isn't the same. I'm not one of those who always complain about how an episode shows and tend to care more about the story (even if it doesn't make sense at all, is ecchi as F, or lets you in clifhangers after clifhangers). This time, though? It's too noticeable.

An example?

Oh no! Kenichi just met Shelob! LOL All kidding aside, those spiders did prove to be the toughest thing they've faced in that World ( other than Shaga & his merry thugs) so far. Nice idea to use massive amounts of bug spray! ROFLMAO

"It says here you want a spider."

"Yeah. What's the problem?"

"With 8 legs?"

"Of course. That's how many they have."

"Have you seen our animation budget?"

"...oh... maybe just a picture of a spider that we wiggle around."

"Yeah."

Also, my man can't spring for some ear protection while drilling for the party??

this episode must've been done on a Friday by some drunk artists or interns... my goodness the animation was bad this week.

Dropped it from a 7 to a 6.

Kenichi goes hunting in the dungeon taking on big cave spiders while anemone able to use her magical skills to help Kenichi.

The Viscountess comes to see Kenichi and asks him for his help. Kenichi has a bad feeling about it.

We got 2 spiders and just one, and one with big fat eye!? And of course Kenichi with his wisdom uses the spiders egg as food.

Still it felt like the animators were challenging us to see if we can even complete this episode with its downgraded animation.

I didn't realize that humans eat spider eggs unless it's just Kenichi. While the spider fights were somewhat underwhelming at least Anemone got some courage and helped defeat the larger female spider and used a new and more powerful spell.

Regarding the viscountess, I'm thinking she's also having trouble with the spice mafia and will want Kenichi's help but we'll see.

They sprayed the spider with so many chemicals (bug spray) then Anemone fired a fireball I was expecting an explosion that could've ignited the entire cave.

It was actually comical how unnecessary, gratuitous, and just plain mean-spirited the takedown of those two giant cave spiders was. They went out of their way to confront them in their own home, then chased them back to their nest after wounding and assaulting them, and then burned them alive and crushed with heavy machinery.

Giant or not, cave-dwelling or not, I just don't feel the level of malice and contempt for spiders as a whole that others, including our main character of this series and all the other characters with him, seem to, in order to make that feel desirable or justified. That kind of immediate, instinctual, fear and disgust-based, "kill and destroy it with fire" automatic response I could see and relate to/sympathize with in the case of something like cockroaches or rats, but spiders are just too damn noble and unfairly maligned.

I would definitely try the spider eggs though. Can't say that I've ever had too many eggs of different species which would classify as exotic. Duck eggs (good mixed in with rice), quail eggs, caviar such as sturgeon eggs and ikura/salmon roe, carp roe, etc. But that's about it other than the ever-present chicken eggs.

I thought maybe we'd get a spider shapeshifting into a human woman from the episode's title, but I guess they're just going out there to bully spiders instead though 🤷

Was also kind of funny that Kenchi has apparently never heard of ear defenders, so he's using a pneumatic drill and deafening both himself, and the child too 😬 Also no masks when spraying cans and cans and cans of insect killer, so they're definitely gonna get health problems if this is how they live 👀

@WatchTillTandava I was looking for this comment. I felt the same way. This episode really felt wrong. Spiders just chilling in its own home not bothering anyone, and only comes out because of his loud drilling in their cave. Doesn’t even attack first, but gets a barrage of arrows. Then both spiders are later hunted down and killed. Wtf.
