English Dub Review: So I’m a Spider, So What? “So, I’m not in this one, am I?”

 

Overview



The Elf Village’s barrier is in place and powerful allies are at hand. As preparations for war continue, Shun and the others learn about the secrets of the reincarnations and administrators from Filimøs. As well as the fact that the entire war was staged…





Our Take

The episode’s title is spot on there is no Spider-Lady in this episode. Not even a small scene which makes sense considering how last week ended with Hugo, Sophia, and that army riding up to the elf forest. I have to say, Shun is rather bold for trusting his allies for this so-called war. With such high stakes, I guess it makes sense for everyone to at least be on the same page.

For this episode, the staff went a bit excessive with the CGI regarding their action scenes. I mean, was it necessary? I mean you could say it was OK for the soldiers fighting, but the animation got progressively worse than before and the faces of the other elves are clearly not polished character designs during the battle.

Overall, despite the absence of the titular Spider-Lady and the piss-poor effort in terms of animation & CGI scenes. I’m just glad the story was compelling enough to keep watching as we’re now down to 3 episodes left before the big finale!
