Goblin Slayer II

The most noticeable difference between the second season of goblin slayer and the season and movie that came before it is the animation quality. There's way less cgi and even goblin slayer himself is animated all of the time.

The story takes place after the events in the movie. Knowledge of the events that happen in the movie is crucial in understanding some events in this season. This season's story consists of three separate self-contained arcs and involves slaying goblins for wildly different people. It's not the best story but it's better than the movie at least. Personally I was also annoyed with factual inaccuracies ... in the story such as acting as if alcohol warms you up while in actuality it cools you down faster.

The characters are basically all the same as the previous season with only temporary side-characters being introduced. This season however seems to play up the harem element of the story more which I don't think makes a lot of sense because goblin slayer still has the social skills of a sentient rock. High elf archer is still cute though so that makes up for it.

The voice acting was good and really suits the different characters. The music was okay. As noted earlier the animation was way better than in the previous season/movie with only some far-away shots looking kind of weird. Overview shots of the inns/pubs were especially well done with lots of characters moving about and conversations taking place at the same time giving you a nice feel for the atmosphere.

Overall this seems like an acceptable second season that you should bother watching if you liked the first season/movie. If you disliked those then this won't be much better.

Art - 5/10, IDK the animation didnt feel as fluent as the first season, maybe its just the overall season that made the animation seem worse but it felt soo bland.... wasnt too pleased with the studio change.

Characters - 8/10 The characters are still surprisingly great as they all have pretty good chemistry, the jokes arent really funny, but the season is alot more chilled back which is surprising considering the opening is menacing as fuck. And goblin slayer gets some character depth! its not just about goblins.

Story - 5/10 Story is stale this season, I cant even remember much except for the random ... hot spring episode or bath episode that was just thrown in, come to think of it there was a lot of bath scenes huh...

Enjoyment - 6/10 Downgrade from season 1, but I was pretty impressed with how season 1 was so im not too mad, dont go out of your way to watch this but if you have the time just put it on in the background...!

The charm of the first season disappeared with the animation studio, the first season was made without censorship and was cruel this season was externally boring As much as I liked Goblin slayer for the first season, I missed season 2, but it's good that the anime got a sequel, but it's gone They censored it so now I could have my 8 year old cousin watch it. Goblin Slayer season 2 is simply disappointing not awful, The only thing Lidensfilm brought was at Some fight phases with Goblin slayer no longer use CGI as they used in the first season but honestly I ... would have preferred a little CGI than this censorship.
