    The “reborn as babies” thing is a plot twist in that spider isekai, and it makes some of the cast pretty weird. It’s a decent show but I don’t know if I’d recommend it.

    spoiler

    The element is mostly just used as a plot twist, though. It swaps back and forth between two perspectives which are later revealed to have a ~14 year time gap. Everybody in the show was reincarnated as a baby, but the MC reincarnated as a baby magic spider meaning she was basically fully functional from day 1.

      the spider girl ends up a bit wierd due to being a spider. But she should be the most normal one since she had agency from the beggining. There is another girl that was an egg for a decade and was somewhat concious of it. She should be absolutley fucked up.

        Yeah that’s what I mean by it mostly just ending up as a plot twist and not being explored fully. It’s too bad, really, but it’s still one of the better isekai’s for not just being “generic anime boy in dragon quest land with X special item/skill/mom”.

          My main problem with the generic anime boys is that they lack agency. They have increadible power but no positive agenda. I see that as inherently reactioary.

          In that sense spider girl is much better, she has her own program. Even if her reasons are selfish at least she has her own goals. So yhea cool anime.
