The official website for the television anime of Okina Baba's So I'm a Spider, So What? (Kumo desu ga, Nani ka?) novels announced on Thursday that the delayed 24th and final episode has been rescheduled to this Saturday, July 3. The episode was originally slated to air on Friday, June 25, but was delayed due to production issues.
The 24th episode will premiere on the AT-X channel on July 3 at 9:00 p.m. (8:00 a.m. EDT). It will then run on the BS11, Tokyo MX, TV Aichi, Sun TV, and KBS Kyoto channels, and also on the Hikari TV, dTV channel, ABEMA, and other streaming services.
The anime premiered on January 8 on AT-X, Tokyo MX, BS11, KBS Kyoto, Sun TV, and TV Aichi. The anime will run for two consecutive cours (quarters of a year). Crunchyroll is streaming the anime as it airs in Japan. The company also announced plans to stream an English dub. The anime was previously slated to premiere last year, but the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) greatly affected the anime's production schedule.
Crunchyroll describes the anime:
I, the protagonist, was just an ordinary high school girl, but suddenly I was reincarnated as a spider monster in a fantasy world. Not only that, but I awakened in a dungeon filled with vicious monsters. Armed with only my human knowledge and my overwhelming positivity, I'm forced to use spiderwebs and traps to defeat far stronger monsters just to stay alive... So begins the labyrinth survival story of a girl with incredible mental strength living as one of the lowest-ranked beasts!
