Okay, folks, let's talk spiders. Big anime spiders. Specifically, So What I'm a Spider, So What? Season 2.
I'm just going to say it. Are we getting a season 2? Probably not.
And honestly? I'm... kinda okay with that. Gasp! I know, I know, anime heresy.
A Tangled Web of Opinions
Listen, the first season was... a journey. Started strong, right? Cute spider-chan trying to survive. Peak isekai goodness.
Then the human storyline hit. Boom. A metaphorical web of confusion tangled everything up.
Suddenly we're juggling multiple perspectives. Explanations about reincarnations. Remember all those characters?
The Great Schism
The problem? The human side wasn't nearly as fun. We cared about Kumoko! The resourceful spider.
Suddenly, the focus shifted elsewhere. It was like watching two different shows spliced together.
One show about a cute spider struggling for survival, the other, a less interesting version of a typical high fantasy show.
Honestly, I fast forwarded. Sue me!
Maybe I missed some vital lore. I don't care.
Why I'm (Secretly) Fine Without Season 2
I'm not saying the series is bad. Just… uneven.
A Season 2 would probably double down on the world-building. Even more political intrigue. Even less spider-centric shenanigans.
It's just... not what I signed up for. I wanted spider antics, not a lecture on divine intervention.
I know some people adored the grand scope. But for me, the charm was the tiny spider facing overwhelming odds.
There are so many other isekai shows. This one made a special place for itself, and I don't want it to be changed.
Plus, the animation had some... issues, especially near the end. A second season might not be able to turn it around.
An Unpopular Opinion?
Maybe I'm alone on this. Maybe the internet is filled with people clamoring for more world-building.
Perhaps everyone is dying to understand the intricacies of the system administrator D. I have nothing against that character.
I just want to see our little spider eat more monsters! Isn't that what we all want?
Perhaps if a season 2 focuses solely on the spider, I might change my mind. I'd give it a chance for sure!
Until then, I'll just rewatch the early episodes. Relive the glory days of pure spider survival.
So, no, I'm not exactly heartbroken about the likely lack of So What I'm a Spider, So What? Season 2. There, I said it.
Let the downvotes commence. But maybe, just maybe, someone out there agrees with me.
Maybe, just maybe, you're secretly relieved too.
