    Those spiders have good taste in anime.

    But not so much in snacks…

      Don’t knock crickets if you haven’t tried them. The toasted crickets I’ve tried (in Laos) tasted like a cross between Fritos corn chips, and deep-fried shrimp.

        Ok, I’m now intrigued. How do they compare to shrimp chips, let’s say… Nong Shim brand? (I prefer Calbee, they’re baked instead, so they’re less greasy.)

        I don’t think I’ve ever had shrimp chips so I can’t give you a firsthand comparison. The crickets and grasshoppers I had in Laos were somewhat crunchy but not at all difficult to chew, and not greasy at all. I’m not sure whether they were toasted dry or in some amount of oil… I don’t think they were deep-fried but I could be wrong.

        If you’re used to shrimp, in chips or barbequed, I suspect you’d find fried insects to be quite palatable. Insects and crustaceans aren’t very far apart, biologically.

        Aquatic bug, or land bug.
        If you’ll eat one, why not another?
        Crabs and lobsters are just large, salt-water breathing cousins to spiders and scorpions.
        Those are just the bugs we eat deliberately, of course…

    I am glad I don’t live in Monica’s and Diget’s place. That many spiders is too many.

      Eh, small spiders are good housemates… I tend to move them if I find them in the bedroom or somewhere inconvenient, but otherwise leave them alone. The problem with these ones is that they’re definitely not *small* spiders…

      The spiders I don’t mind. I’d have more trouble with the crickets.

        They’re likely giant Jerusalem crickets; ugly, bloated hexapods that are WAY larger than those wee spiders…

    Digit would be most likely to have a marathon with old friends than strangers!

      Can 4 large crickets feed that many spiders?

        They’ll divide them up as a snack. But the real reason for going as a group is to encircle the targets and prevent it from becoming a chase.

    Loved Made in Abyss and Girls Last Tour. Watched them together for a season and had a joke about how Made in Abyss was climbing down and Girls Last Tour was climbing up, that the two shows would meet each other at the end of their season run.

    Shouldn’t the spider in the last panel be Dietzel?

      Either thigh? or perhaps on the Dark Side of the Knee? There’s lots of her legs we aren’t seeing here.

      (“There is no dark side of the knee, really. Matter of fact, it’s all dark.”)

    Good selection of anime. Just finished Princess Principal myself a couple weeks back, can’t wait for the 6 (!) movies to come.

    Woah! Time Out! Doesn’t Monica’s Charge, who shhe’s Mentoring allow her friends to refer to her as Cricket?!! I doubt she considers herself “ugly.” At least not more so than any other teenage girl.

      Remember, Calista once offered Digit a big handful of juicy black crickets to eat. I don’t think she’s overly attached to the insects that were the source of her nickname.

      My mother was raised as farm girl, and would never let us kill spiders. She would always gently remind us: “Do you really want to discover what it is they’re eating?” Crickets? Crickets are musical, and Orthoptera are handy little thermometers, if you know how to listen.

    The crickets don’t stand a chance. They’re outnumbered at least 3 to 1.
