| Another episode where insert songs didn't feel completely out of place, though I can't help but think they would've been even more effective if the idea hadn't been used to death already. Anyway, this episode was a good episode. The little scenes with goblins living their lives like any other human being made the following fight scene that much more impactful. I just regret that all the budget seems to have already been eaten, because visually speaking the action was rather underwhelming (at least compared with what we got in episode 2, for eg.). Other than that no major complaints; the cemetery scene was pretty touching and the whole sequence with Haru and Mary worked well enough. I'm also glad the romance wasn't forced down our throats just yet, because it would've been way too early for that. |

eso18 said: Kixer-kun said: I kinda want to know to. and that part where haru was about to say something before the bell rang Ah this episode was quite good. It brought me feels although I had to remember the past from LN to fully enjoy it but whatever I am no longer planning to hate on this anime. Now I wonder where they will go with the rest of the show. This episode marks the last chapter of volume one. For full volume 2 there is not enough time. Any news about anime original ending? whoo thanks eso! i am rooting for haruxmary but yume is still ok |
| well we REALLY need to tell the producer that manato IS dead haruxmary would be great btw |
| How long this Manato thing will last? So annoying. -1 from 9/10 to 8 |
 |
| OMG this anime is so bad I want to cry... |
 |
| Is it just me.. or is buying a badge and leaving it on the grave a bad idea? I get the deeper meaning of it and blabla.. it just keeps bugging me because literally EVERYONE could just grab it and leave. Since it took them 8 episodes to get the money together: it's worth money at least. or is it something that has a name tag or something? damn you anime I want to know more about the world and how it works. I get that someone dying and having to deal with it is hard, but after 8 episodes I kind of hoped for another plot. Anyway I wouldn't mind if this was actually the last episode. It got me thinking "wait.. what's with all the credits.. is it episode 12 already?". It seemed like a good ending considering how they had to deal with Manato's death and the world of Grimgar. Not sure what to expect for the last 4 episodes, but we'll see. |

| Quite strangely paced ep imo but didn't dislike it. That end scene made it feel quite obvious it was the end of a volume. And I am already aboard the Mary x Haru ship! |

Now I wonder where they will go with the rest of the show. This episode marks the last chapter of volume one. For full volume 2 there is not enough time. Any news about anime original ending? I don't think there will be an anime original ending, since they can make this a really successful anime franchise. It only picks up the pace from Vol. 2 onward. We get different enemies, alot more backstory, intensity is picked up, huge fights (like mini-skirmishes, but big enough). They would be dumb to give us Vol. 1 and part of Vol. 2 and not adapt the best part of the LN which is past Vol. 2's second half. Unless they are doing this completely for the advertising of the LN which I think this part of the Volumes adaptation wouldn't really do a good job of advertising it, since the beginning is extremely slow paced (for people who don't like that). I like to hope they would adapt all the Volumes being released, since they have lots of good ideas going on from the 2nd half of Vol. 2 all the way up to Vol. 6 (what I know of so far). It would be a shame not to adapt them. |
| this anime has reached a difference level than the rest action-fantasy genre the scene of the Goblins were masterpiece for me, it depicted how Goblins are not simple-minded monsters they are creature who can think and make strategy as Haruhiro noted these Goblins completely know the human tactic. the level of Grimgar is close to Monster Hunter and Dark Soul for me i would love to see in the future a tactic to use elementary weapons against monters with their own respective weaknessess (like Monster hunter) OTP facts: when Yume being hurt, Ranta the one get screamed when Mary being hurt, Haruhiro turn to screamed :3 Shihoru and Moguzo forever alone ;-; |

| Holy fuck!! You know what's better than 10 minutes music video? That's right, it's 20 minutes music video. It's not that it ruined the the mood or shit, but the song was bad, who the fuck would pay to listen to that shit? Except for those whose on drug. And for the love of mother, stop with manatoism!! Goddamn that bunch worshiped the good guy, we get it, you're sad! You didn't even mourn that much for your family you left in japan, it doesn't make sense... That manato surely beglamoured them. Priest with mind control. Thank god he's dead... |

canephalanx said: It seems like the people hating on this show are a minority. I've always assumed otherwise since half of the posts every episode is about how the insert songs ruin the whole mood. 5/5 will definitely watch till the end. This and ERASED are the winners of this season by far excluding sequels. Lol! What are you talking about? Nobody love grimgar that much... |
|
| Have they explain in the novel how did they enter this world? Is this just a game or something more? |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| I think they want to let us know about when a close person to you die, especially for who never experienced that feeling (luckly), just for this they took Manato dead topic so long. Btw it was really good episode, and now they revenge Manato I want to know sooo bad why in the first episode they said this is just a game. PS.: Moguzo "DOMOOO!" is the best skill ever ahah. |
trillshit said: is no one infuriated how slow this anime is? had me nodding off... do you realize they've been fighting goblins for more than 50% of the anime? what level are they and how much experience do goblins give you? wouldn't they be far experienced already by now? how much are those goddamn volunteer medals? what the fuck is grimgar? what timeline are they from before they came to grimgar? what happened to the rest of the other characters that were with them from the start? how long are they going to mourn manato? it's been 8 fucking episodes -- are they going to cry every single time with that depressing insert song in the BG for every episode? how long are we going to keep saying manato is a good guy? can we get over it already? they don't even know the guy or where he's really from. can mary use other defensive magic other than heal? who the fuck is Hal? these questions are yet to be answered -- GOOD questions with no answers in sight. and we are already on episode 8. what i learned from this anime for far: death sucks. well, no shit. honestly, this should have been the last episode. i haven't read the LN, but i don't plan on reading it anytime soon if it's this excruciating. to answer your questions yes. real life doesnt work like a game, even if they are in a game that only simulates real life. here is a good question: dont you think an experience point system would defeat the realism of the plot? they are human teenagers imbued with japanese cultural values. 20 silvers. the world they are in is called grimgar. went off with team renji. youre not supposed to know because the characters dont know; take a guess though. you say you understand that "death sucks" yet you cant sympathize with the grief of others, i doubt youve actually learned anything. also manato died in episode 4, its only been four episodes of mourning idk what youre talking about. that song was literally the ed idk what youre talking about. well he was, youre nitpicking at this point. she can use smash and though thats not a spell youll see more later. hal is a mistranslation of mary calling haruhiro haru since hal and haru in japanese would be pronounced the same. consequently its not the animes fault its the translators. none of these questions were good and they had answers, contrary to what you claimed... |
| That was a good episode, The action was fluid and really nice to watch. I however didn't like the fact they used an insert song for the battle,Felt out of place to me. The second insert was great :D Finally,I sincerely hope this marks the end of Grimgar:Goblinland . I really hope we get to see some new foes like that Kobold they gave a sneak peak at. Tired of seeing them kills goblins all the time :P Mary looked really pretty when she was walking with Haru amidst the snow, She was cute at the end too <3 Don't know whether to ship Yume or Mary with Haru now, Damn these dilemma's xD |

You didn't even mourn that much for your family you left in japan, it doesn't make sense... That manato surely beglamoured them. Priest with mind control. Thank god he's dead... Wow, such fail. This is their final farewell to Manato, by offering the badge to him. Why would they mourn their family? They don't know if they're dead. Heck, they don't even know if they even had a family. Okay sure, they could have a mom or dad, but again why would they mourn? I'm sorry, you don't have a friend that you care. And if you do have a friend. Then I'm sorry, for them for having you as a friend. I suppose you're also into manatoism? Final farewell? That statement itself sounds like they would never visit his grave anymore. this is what you mean friend? Sorry about their family, i forgot to read the summary! But yeah... Their love for manato was abnormal, man! I assume they would jerk off to his used underwear (hentai style) now that he's dead. |
|
| What made this best so far.. [spoiler]  [spoiler]*thumbs up* |
 |
| the Goblins play chess too? i actually feel sad for them an buying a necklace for a dead person are they fucking serious?! |
 |
| Will they finally be done crying over Manato? I get it you are upset but damn, life goes on and live for him since he made the sacrifice for these turds. |
 |
| Heard they finished vol. 1 with this ep. I wonder, will they cramp vol. 2 in just 4 eps, fill the rest of the season with anime-original arc or find another stopping point? |
 |
| Creative! the studio pretty good to pact the vol 1 in 8 episode pretty good combo of fillers and main story performed by them i guess they lengthen 3 early episode to gave Manato several screen before killed him off. btw i wonder if Haruhiro referred Yume or Ranta when corrected the "Malicious" word because his tone was his usual tone to Ranta. |
| I've kinda liked the last two episodes which has been the peak of the show so far since the first 6 episodes were kinda bad. |
 |
| The ebst episode so far :) That's not an end ,right? lol Also i don't get why people hate on those insert songs,I actually really like them,they bring something creative to the anime imo :) i'm also glad that the Manato saga eneded,because I personally was REALLY sad when he died so I'm happy they got a happy ending and I'm actually thinking about reading the novels after this anime ends ,it's really nice :P |

| HAL. Ranta getting jealous, mah man Moguzo always keeps it cool Art quality on character designs has dropped a bit it seems, maybe it's just me. The team going at the goblin family home, let's see if they're strong enough Yoo Yume with accurate archery skills! Mary get's hit by the gob arrow, now HAL about to go and kill 'em. Yep the art quality definitely fucking dropped. This episode was too slow, 2slo4u 2.6/5 Holy shit next episode is titled "How to rest" I'm ready for the snoozefest! |
 |
| I'm gonna be in the minority and say that this episode was pretty bad. The fight was so trivialized. It meant more in LN and was really exciting to read through. Was so looking forward to this episode, thinking that A-1 would spend a decent amount of time on the fight. That just didn't happen. There wasn't any kind of flow to it. Just a bunch of small action sequences paste together with jump cuts. Also I've never talked about the insert song before, but this time it really ruined the scene. It was the group's revenge battle and it was supposed to be intense, but the music just destroys that. Stray observations: -Art quality definitely down this episode. -Humanizing the goblins. Something I actually like. The humans are shown as the aggressors. -Volunteer medals are dogtags. Okay... Could be interesting if they were somehow tied the reason for that design to the story. Doubt it though. -Why is it snowing all of a sudden? -"Hal" Really going with this, Funi? |

| For me, the best episode so far <3. My heart stopped when Mary got hit. I think she's the character that I love the most on this show. |

HAL is a mistranslation. other than that, your "answers" are mere observations and doesn't do much justice other than point out the obvious. from the perspective of a viewer who has not read the LN, you've only confused me more than this anime already has. and no, why would an experience point system ruin the plot? i'm assuming that they are learning these "skills" because they are leveling up, right? you learn skills by gaining experience...right? are you saying that they gain these "skills" randomly? i sincerely hope they can revive it back with these 4 episodes -- i doubt it though. |
 |
| That was a great episode, the action was cool. I wish they'd move on from Manato already, but that's just me >.> and they could chill with the insert songs. |
| Not bad, I liked this ep. I was about to chuck my laptop at the wall when Mary got hit tho, I was gonna be so done with his show if they killed of a second healer. But other than that, I quite liked it. Like I have mentioned before, I get why people don't like the pacing, saying that it's slow, but I find it to be original, you don't really get fantasy shows that show how heavy things can get. |
| oh i thought i was the only one that see romace haru-mary i wonder what was going to say haru with that "mary ore wa...." too why to be so shy????? say it!!! |
| Using scarf but wearing a skirt in the snow. Cool. |
  |
| I feel more sad about the goblins than I do for Manato - one thing I definitely like about this show is how they aren't portrayed as mindless fodder to be killed. Still, the second half of the episode was almost unbearable. You can make a show as slow as you want, I'm not against that, but when you take up half the episode with recycled content that has, yet again, a "touching" song playing in the background that's where I draw the line. Draw some characters, play a song and expect everything else to sort itself out, even though this would have to be the viewer's first anime for them to be impressed or captivated by that particular sequence. Seriously, how was the latter half of the episode any different from a YouTube AMV? I still can't decide whether this anime has more good or bad things making it up. |

| I wanted to rip my fucking muscles out when I saw the arrow like damn it! I gripped on them (no tiddies :() and was all nuts NO NO NO NO NO I'm so glad they didn't kill her off and even more glad the hottie gave Hal a nickname. I thought this was the last episode :S scared me for a bit, good job studio. so nice of them not to exclude their friend when buying badges, what do they do with the badges anyway though? they have higher privileges somewhere or what? I think it was mentioned but I forgot And what's everyones problem with the songs? you don't like sad-styled songs or what? do you not like songs at all? Ever watched artistic animations.. there's melodies all over or none at all. I really don't get it, they always match perfectly for me and just make it all the better. |
 |
| is this an anime or some sort of musical? why so much fcking songs, add some dramatic tunes or sth, suits the situation much more but they make it seem like they are fighting the demon lord or sth >.> and another thing, its been like i think 4-5 episodes since that guy died? why are they still moaning about it? dont tell me this is why they've been killing goblins non-stop? |
| This has to be one of the most underrated shows I've ever seen. I mean it can get pretty overdramatic (and it will be), though it's so atmospheric and heavy (not deep, just heavy). I can see why some people wouldn't enjoy it, though I'm loving it so far. I'll say it again: It's exactly what I wanted SAO to be. That said, it's time we get some real conflict - we're 8 episodes in, ffs. |
 |
| Finally, they avenged Manato's death, those goblins deserved that, and finally, Haru got his dagger back. When mary got shot by that arrow i was like "oh please not again, she can't die, no more feels pls" xD Yume & Haru best couple, that roof scene <3 And i still almost cry when they remember Manato, that cemetery scene :( I'm happy to see that Mary is doing good in her new team and everything is getting even better. I don't know why there is so much hate around this anime, this isn't SAO or Log Horizon, this anime isn't fight based, that's why it is so good, it's different. I didn't expected so much from this anime but i'm loving it, plus the art and that soundtrack. Makes this anime very unique. |
