Okay, let's talk about something potentially controversial. Something that might make a few anime fans clutch their pearls.
It's about Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka? Season 2. Or rather, the *lack* thereof.
Where Did Our Spider Go?
Remember So I'm a Spider, So What?? It was a fun isekai ride, right? A girl gets reincarnated as a spider monster. Hilarity and leveling up ensue.
We watched Kumoko struggle, evolve, and basically become a badass spider goddess. What's not to love?
Then… silence. Season 1 ended. The credits rolled. And we've been waiting ever since.
The Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves!)
Here it comes. Ready? I'm not *entirely* convinced we *need* a Season 2.
Gasp! I know, I know. Blasphemy, right? But hear me out.
Season 1, while enjoyable, had some… issues. The animation wasn't always the *smoothest*. And the human side of the story? Let's just say it wasn't everyone's cup of tea.
Honestly, sometimes I just wanted to skip straight back to Kumoko kicking monster butt in the labyrinth.
The constant switching between spider-life and human-drama felt jarring at times. It messed with the pacing, you know?
A Complete Story...?
Season 1 actually covers a pretty decent chunk of the light novels. It brought Kumoko's journey to a satisfying (if somewhat abrupt) point.
She became strong. She figured things out. She even started messing with gods. You know, typical spider stuff.
Continuing the anime would mean delving even deeper into the world-building and the grand scheme of things. Is everyone ready for that?
More political intrigue? More human storylines? Possibly even *more* animation challenges? Hmmm...
But... A Little More Spider Would Be Nice
Okay, okay, I'm not a *monster*. I wouldn't say no to more Kumoko shenanigans.
If a Season 2 *did* happen, I'd want some serious improvements. Better animation is a must! And please, streamline that human storyline.
Maybe focus on the spider-aspects, you know? Kumoko exploring new territories, facing even stronger monsters, learning even crazier skills. The possibilities are endless!
Or, dare I say it, an *OVA*? A self-contained story focused solely on our favorite spider. No distractions, just pure Kumoko goodness.
In Conclusion... Maybe?
Look, I enjoyed Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka?. It was a fun, quirky isekai with a unique protagonist.
But sometimes, less is more. Maybe leaving the story where it is isn't the worst thing in the world.
However, if they *do* announce a Season 2, I'll be there, popcorn in hand. Just hoping they learned from the first season's missteps.
What about you? Season 2 or no season 2? Let me know! I’m ready for the debate. Just… be nice to the spider, okay?
Ultimately, I believe that
"A good story is a good story, whether it ends perfectly or leaves us wanting more."
And Kumoko's story, for now, is pretty darn good.
