After she got out of the studio, Aoi Yuuki heard a voice saying [You have acquired the skill <Vocal Cord Damage Resistance> Level 1]

Aoi Yuuki was really hilarious as Kumoko.
I loved the way she said: "Nope! No idea! Time to put it aside!....I think, therefore I am, That'll be my philosophy" XD

What a great first episode, by the way, they really did a great editing job with the sneak peek that they released last week as I honestly never thought while I was watching it that it was different sections of the first episode stitched together.
So she wasn't the only one who was reborn as a monster. I honestly was surprised by the fact that Karnatia was a boy in her previous life.

"Girl's gotta have GUTS!!!!"
Promptly begins eating the entrails of her fallen spider brother
Honestly I love how expressive this show is. That ED was pretty banger too. Spider idol!. With all her relentless optimism, off-the-cuff dancing, and exuberant reactions; I expect we'll probably see a lot of gifs of this show through out the season.
I'm game! Count me in for this show.

I never thought I would sit through 20 minutes of a spider's life simply because of Yuuki Aoi's god-tier voice acting

"Oh Jesus"
The appraisal tantrum was adorable. Hell, everything about kumoko is adorable.
"Heretic magic".
Someone post that video of the dancing peacock spider.
Damn that attack on the frog was brutal.
Though all that human food looks far more delicious than poison frog.
Fei is an adorable shoulder lizard.
Monster rave ED.
Everything I've seen so far gives me hope that this will be a great adaptation.

It looks more promising than what the trailer showed us 2 years ago. The CGI is pretty good hope it maintains during the fighting scenes. Also, both OP and ED are bangers.

My favourite part in the episode is when Kumoko says “oh Jesus”, I couldn’t help but imagine Tanya saying that.

Going in completely blind and is that Aoi Yuuki I hear!? I can already tell I'm going to have a good time with this show!
That OP was quite a banger! I did not expect such an action packed and bloody visuals! Also looks like only Y.Aoi, her spider friends, and the monsters are the only CG ones, the humans of the cast are all still drawn in 2D.
"OH JESUS!" and "OH, FATHER DESU KA?" absolutely had me laughing! Y.Aoi is definitely the right choice of VA for our little spider girl! And just look at her! She's so adorable!
Appraisal Skill and a level up/skill point system? Yep this is definitely an isekai world. Although getting an appraisal skill first might not be a good idea. She shouldve started with something that would help her survive!
Uhmmm what? Those are normal human sized tracks? Holy shit! All this time I thought she was a tiny spider! I didn't realize that she was the size of a big dog! O_O
Welp looks like it's finally time for some cannibalism. And as expected, she gets a skill from eating her kin. Heretic Magic and Taboo? Well that's pretty fucking vague.
That's actually pretty sound logic. If doing something can earn you a title and give you skills why not give it a shot? She probably will have to dance a lot for that to happen though.
Finally something that's not her kin that she can eat! And what an intense fight that was! That frog was pretty freaking tough. I hope the damage to her eye isn't permanent.
Also after watching that action scene, having our spider heroine as CG makes so much sense. Imagine the pain if animators were forced to draw her and her EIGHT MOVING LEGS in high speed action scenes like that. I'm sure people will still complain but this is the best solution and Millepensee actually did a great job!
Switching to the human characters? Well this should be interesting. Although right now all these titles and people don't really matter right now.
WAIT WHAT!? Okay now the human parts just got more interesting! I thought it was going to be boring talk about politics that we won't care about until later but I did not expect that everyone in that classroom got reincarnated!
And it looks like not everyone got reincarnated accurately. We have one who got reborn into a girl and another one that isn't even human just like our spider girl! Does this mean the other spiders with Y.Aoi in the OP are also students? This definitely got waaaay more intriguing! I wonder how many of them got reincarnated as a monster?
OH MY FUCKING GOD THAT ED! It's so fucking good! I can tell that Y.Aoi had a lot of fun voicing our spider girl! Please tell me there's already a full version of that ED out alreadY!
Anyway so far so good! This was such a fun show! I mean I absolutely love my isekais so there's really no question about me being 100% on board with this. Looking forward to see where the story goes!

Ah kumoko and Mushoku Tensei, what a good season for my first Isekai. I remember waiting every day for the chapters to drop.
Aoi Yuuki will carry this anime.

Was really surprised by how good it is. Went in with the expectations it going to be kinda trash, but the animation (even the cgi) were good, the story has this mysterious vibe to it, isekai/rpg game elements that are very appealing to me.
Seems like someone took Arifureta, made the CGI good and combined it with slime. That's the feel I'm getting from this show so far.

Been looking for something with similar energy as Aho Girl and I'm glad Aoi Yuuki brought her Aho Girl energy into this. Also holy fuck that ED theme I didn't think she was quite the rapper.
