Nariko Azuki, in charge of the OP theme

I wonder how Spider Girl will overcome her extraordinary ordeal...
I read the original in no time with excitement.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the battle scenes will be expressed in the anime!
The OP theme includes "I will live out my life (Spider Life)! I will never give up!I will never give up!
Now that the everyday life we take for granted is suddenly gone, and we are in this age where people are trying to look up and step into a brighter future, we want to deliver the message "Never give up on life" in a straightforward manner. Please look forward to it!

Aoi Yuuki, who plays me, is in charge of the ED theme.

I'm sorry for making a lot of noise in the ED theme as I did in the main story.
The only people who will spend time with me on Spider-chan's lonely journey are you, the kind-hearted viewers...! Please don't abandon us, and we hope you will enjoy the full length of the anime, the music, and the screaming time that turns negativity into positivity! Wooooooooooo!
