    Not me. That's the shit I'm here for.

    Well, the reading of it and making funny comments on it and then pondering the possibilities of it.

    Yeah, there's certainly an audience for it, and I can't claim to not enjoy game-like manipulations if I loved HxH and such, so I can see this being in many people's sweet spots. In a way, its almost like a character builder in an Elder Scrolls game with all of the boring grinding bits cut out.

    Not gonna lie: I'd watch 2 hour movie without break that only consists of Kumoko grinding, fighting stronger enemies and upgrading her skills in-between fights.

    ... make it 3 hours.

    "She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court

    You guys are nuts. I skim through most of Kumoko's stat scenes, but I do watch the battle scenes.

    During one of Kumoko's unlocks (where she got rid of her headache), the world was clearly a digital construct, so there's our answer at least - assuming it wasn't animation liberty.

    Looks like a nerd, but she already has an info mind and a magic mind.

    We've already established that while she has MP she can't die.

    So either teacher is lying, or Kumoko is out of action in a temporary manner, like in an Astral (?Hell/Abyss) plane or something.

    On another topic: That lava dragon totally is one of her school mates, probably the light brownd-haired one they showed in the flashback.

    I kind of hate the Middle Stratum magma-level stuff. We know she's not going to die here, so there's no tension at all with every battle she's in here being a deathtrap. Everything on this stratum can survive in magma, Kumoko can't. It's gotten really old, really fast.

    The sooner the story leaves for another level, the better.

    Any guesses at who the big titty goth vampire at the end of the last episode is in the Japan flashback? They could be telegraphing pretty hard with the gloomy student (who did have a fang too), but Katia used to be a boy, Fei used to be the bully girl who liked Shun. Both Wakaba and the gloomy student didn't say a word, nor did the other girls bullying Wakaba.

    Wouldn't it be able to talk then? The other schoolmate that's a monster can talk, so I assume they all can.

    Fei can speak human for whatever reason, or maybe we think she can and she's also speaking to the reincarnated students telepathically or something. Or in Japanese, who knows.

    Kumoku can't speak human, or at least she can't speak the native language. The humans in the episode with the egg sounded like gibberish to her.

    I can't decide between lying or not knowing. She might lie to make it easier for the students, and to free them from the thought that any random monster they fight in the future might be a fellow classmate. Such a fear might lead to hesitation, which at a critical moment might prove fatal. On the other hand, maybe whatever source of/method of gathering information the teacher has simply tells her that Kumoko is dead, and she believes it.

    If she was speaking telepathically, A. Her mouth wouldn't move and B. They should have explained that.

    I just assumed that's because she doesn't know their language, having grown up in a cave and all.

    I'm assuming she can still speak Japanese.


    I just honestly have no idea why Mfauli thinks that dragon is a classmate.

    I figure someone who communicates telepathically would still use his mouth out of habit. It doesnt need to be lip-less like in other series.

    Because after an episode that kinda focused on a flashback of one specially upright, likeable, competent classmate, the episode ends with Kumoku surprised about how unusually intelligent the lava dragon is. The impression that gave me was: oh, so that dragon possesses human smartness like Kumoko, that's why he knows how to avoid her poison attack and strategically destroyed the cones that Kumoko used to stand on.

    I mean, maybe it's just a smart monster, but I instantly associated that classmate, especially with all the talk about missing classmate. Would be kinda cool if Kumoko found a friend, too.

    In general the monsters seem uncharacteristically smart in this show anyway.

    The monkeys coordinated attacks against Kumoko on the wall.

    Many other encounters seemed to have the monsters react appropriately (running when its friend got killed etc).

    The only obvious dumb thing was when one of the lava monsters went onto land when it ran out of MP when its mobility is shit.

    That dragon would make quite a murderous friend.

    I suspect that the reason the dragon was all fucked up an hates Kumiko so much is because it was attacked by that white spider and it thinks she's it.

    I think it was just attacked in general.

    There were corpses all around, presumably from a giant fight earlier.
