“So I’m a Spider, So What?” spun its web into the hearts of viewers when it debuted in January 2021, defying expectations with its quirky premise and unexpected depth. Adapted from a light novel series of the same name, the anime follows the journey of a teenage girl who finds herself reincarnated as a dungeon spider in a mysterious new world after a tragic classroom explosion.
Despite its seemingly whimsical concept, the series delves into dark themes and survivalist action, interspersed with moments of comedic relief. Our protagonist’s discovery of her newfound spider-based powers opens up a world of possibilities as she navigates the challenges of her new existence.
As fans eagerly await news of a second season, the lack of information leaves many in suspense. Three years have passed since the conclusion of the first season, with little indication of future plans. Millepensee, the animation studio behind the initial installment, has remained tight-lipped, leaving enthusiasts in the dark.
However, patience is a virtue in the world of anime, where production schedules often dictate prolonged waits between seasons. The precedent set by the first season’s release, which took three years from announcement to airing, suggests that delays are not uncommon in the series’ history.
Indeed, the anime landscape is rife with examples of hiatuses between seasons, even among acclaimed series like “Attack on Titan.” The meticulous process of adapting source material, coupled with logistical considerations such as scheduling and casting, necessitates adequate preparation and time.
In the interim, fans can explore other isekai series with reincarnation themes, ranging from the whimsical to the fantastical. From “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime” to “My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!” there’s no shortage of captivating tales to immerse oneself in while awaiting news of “So I’m a Spider, So What?” Season 2.
