How did the demon lord use an anti-magic barrier? Isn't that Potimas's thing? Also, should they really be wasting their time with the comedy scenes? There's still a lot of things and only 2 episodes left.
- Unnerfable 4y
  Well it's fun in its own right
- ReincarnatedGoat 4y
  Two episodes should be enough. They can just cur human content like always
- vostok 4y
  I actually expect for there to be more filler and skits. The battles in the light novels lasted like two chapters for the war of Ohts and Keren County (And the subsequent Kumo vs Ariel fight) and Two chapters for the elven kingdom in general.
  
  It makes me question why they cut so much content from other places if there was quite an obvious timeframe that they have to fill somehow in the end.

Honestly I have enjoyed this series quite a bit, but at times I ask why CGI in some of the places. Like I don't mind that much but at times it can certainly be jarring. If anything I think I will be picking up the LN when this series ends since I do like the story.

i liked when they used the same footage twice within a minute

  Budget problems maybe?
  ContentContent 4y
  more like time constraints.
  DxDark 4y
  They had all the time in the world since they opened it by going the lazy CGI route. They could have also went on break like a few other shows if it was an issue.
  
  This reeks of money problems...the CGI Rotation stutter with Hugo and whatshisface after having them hand drawn and then ending on a drawn frame after coming in from some camera trickery (not animated) CGI scene.
  
  Still weird how Kumo's CGI is leaps and bounds better than anyone elses with exclusion of earlier CGI beasts.

  not really, maybe if it was covid related and the prefecture they were in under lockdown they could've justified a delay. but the tv spots there are sanctimonious and are strictly followed through. they have to deliver the episode on time or they won't be able to air it again, or pay an extremely prohibitive cost to reair it another time.
  
  in fact this issue was what troubled production of wonder egg the most and why its last episode is being broadcast months later after its original airing. money can only help so much.
  codingwithjamal 4y
  Makes sense, but In the end, I would rather wait a year for a great plot and animation, than 3 months for a s**t manga adaption.

  CGI is expensive and can take more time than 2D animation
- Nisashi13 4y
  when you go with the free-text of "it is comedy" they can reuse that scene over and over.
AnimeSeal 4y
the fight felt slightly all over the place, and a bit anticlimactic overall.
also seems like the cgi of the human part of the plot hasn't improved one bit.
APotato 4y
Kumoko is back and got me excited. But what's wrong with 5 FPS CGI on human side?
- headsho111 4y
  thats an attempted eye cancer attack on the whole viewership
BakaFly 4y
Did the studio suddenly ran out of money? What's with the whole drop in quality in the last and this episode?
I hope they are saving up for last episodes, to make them as grand as possible.
- ReincarnatedGoat 4y
  Doubt it. Previous works of studio millipense you can see they don't know how to draw fights.
- vostok 4y
  This is just the studio of Berserk 2016 doing their best at being the worst. I don't understand why they were hired in the first place.
- Stormcrusher94 4y
  From what some people said in previous episode discussions, there are two studios doing the anime. One does the spider/Kumoko part, the other does, you've guessed it the Shun side.
  DxDark 4y
  This explains my post a few minutes ago...
  
  weird how Kumo's CGI is leaps and bounds better than anyone elses with exclusion of earlier CGI beasts.
  
  Seems I was on to something.
  
  EDIT: I will, however, point out that the Demon Lord CGI model is absolute GARBAGE. Animation, shading, rigging looks like VRChat levels of basic...hope that isn't main-team's work.
- Nisashi13 4y
  it doesn't have to be out of money, it could just simple because they run out of time since they need to animated thing since not like anime usually took months or year to make, they usually rush it to meet the deadline.
  So it is quite normal for anime to have few eps with vastly drop in quality for TV airing then take they time redo it for Blue-ray.

  Cop Craft BD looks like shit as well, they just fixed the most obvious problems. This studio just can't do fights and anything with too much movement.
Furijjisan 4y
Why does the cgi always look so shit man fuck cgi
Blindfold 4y
kumo cgi is the reason why i wear glasses today
miroki 4y
Being a LN reader, I really want the anime to do well, and for the fights to be animated in the best way possible, but after seeing those 5 FPS scenes, I'm feeling a bit disappointed. Nonetheless, I enjoy the story, but it still sucks that the animation is dropping.
benben3963 4y
The weather report segment was a bit funny but also a bit random...
The fights were way less climatic then I thought they would be.
And that 5fps cgi at the end just made the weird episode become worse...
cau837 4y
i thought they could put their beserk days behind them with actual good/decent cgi in the first halfish of the show welllll............
MajoJestic 4y
Everything animation-wise still looks terrible, but at least Kumoko's here this time to make things entertaining.
codingwithjamal 4y
The CGI in this episode was phenomenal. I mean, 2d and 3d Together!!! They have done the unthinkable.
- MajoJestic 4y
  They must have been inspired by the iconic style of EX-ARM.
  codingwithjamal 4y
  haha, sad but maybe true. After all EX-ARM is legendary
takkk 4y
I’ve watched up to this far I should really just drop this. I’m really confused as to how Julius turned into a chibi/funko pop. Really wished this anime was made by a different studio it so hard to watch these fights.
- Nisashi13 4y
  well it is pretty much clear Kumo is way in the past, about 15 years in the past compare to the classmate arc. So of course Julius is still just a kid back then and Sophia is still a baby.
- ohmymelons 4y
  Imagine being 22 episodes in and still not getting that there is a timeskip.
Nisashi13 4y
i certainly enjoy how cheerful and clearly enjoy the whole thing the Demon Lord show in this arc. The whole part with the HP bar kinda stupid though, why did you even make it so her HP dropped so hard in one scene then heal herself so much after. Let it slowly drop a bit then heal faster would make more sense to look at than Kumo using basic magic atk and manage to cut down 2/3 of Demon Lord's HP.

Then again, the HP bar in this show always do whatever it please.
Blac 4y
Dragon aka jpeg with a round hole erased from it. Otherwise a decent episode story wise.
TheFluffNeko 4y
plenty of action in Kumoko part, then move to human part where they just talk and talk and talk until the episode end. lol

extra stats from the queen taratect made Kumo a lot tougher. Still at a disadvantage, but she can fight better with the demon lord now.

almost at the final.. but this anime still has not motivated me to buy anything. Well, I guess that's money saved.
TheGoldenSpin 4y
The fights are half decent
Where is that scene where we see Hugo's stats while he fights Shun...
Veralian 4y
Better than last episode.
The comedy throughout the fight between Kumoko and Demon lord was annoying as as it watered down the importance and gravity of the situation, there's a time and place for everything
