That is your assumption lol the point was that it is indeed a valid form of criticism, the example isn't exclusive to professional critics, and anyone can be a critic lol
Indeed anyone can try being a critic but as you've made apparent not everyone can be good at it
papsoshea said:
You wish lol I am using it correctly, you're just cherry-picking and not making any arguments.
No point making a counter argument since non of your previous critics have been been of any value so why bother
papsoshea said:
Oh, I have already done that. Looks like you need to go back and rewatch the show.
I highly doubt you have paid attention though.
I dont need to rewatch the show since Ive read the manga
papsoshea said:
This isn't even a counter-argument. It's you pulling straws to have an excuse for disliking my posts which is clearly the only reason you're replying to me.
nah Im replying because its the weekend and I have nothing better to do so thanks for saying stupid shit so I have something to do and laugh at
papsoshea said:
Well you made that clear the first time lol
Oh I have a counter argument for the Mary Sue thing. But since you just throw words at random as buzzwords then simply laughing at them is all the counter arguing you really need tbh
papsoshea said:
Whatever floats your boat lol you're the one replying to me because you're upset of some text of words.
Not even upset lol. As said. Im just wasting time because nothing better to do and you're willing to keep saying stupid stuff which boils down to you saying the show isn't dark because comedy and boobs so you can't handle a slight tone change or camera angles

I don't think your in vs out universe distinction is useful here at all. Your most interesting points are about tone and how it changes between scenes, and we disagree on what's an acceptable transition. How they explain it in terms of the world is varying degrees of "whatever" to me.

The life or death situation is over, this is why I call it the "wake up the day after" scene, the dangerous scene is concluded. In this case even the fight is over and there's not much more to say about the cave. Of course this contrast shouldn't be used willy nilly, and it isn't, it would be amusing if Frodo's wakeup scene in LOTR happened 10 times instead of one.

I don't think Deus Ex Machina really covers it, too simplistic. This to me is like calling a hospital visit Deus Ex Machina, its entirely expected within this world that there are healing miracles. That it was this strong and came without warning is a wasted opportunity I agree.

The purpose seems to be some fan service, some character progression, resolving the question about why mvp maiden demon killer hero wants help with goblins, to name a few. The wakeup scene struck me as pretty tacky in general though.


1. Well, we agree to disagree. I just like to point out, just because something is 'standard' in a genre, doesn't mean its acceptable.

2. Well, we agree to disagree.

3. We find some middle ground here but it is really a Deus Ex Machina because this is a plot device.

4. I think when you take into consideration the dialogue exchanges, really comes off insensitive seeing that she is talking about her traumatic experiences as a victim of rape while we have the great honour of being bombarded with gratuitous camera shots and angles of her big tits. I mean she says while giggling, "I was captured by the goblins inside the cave / Would you like to hear what happened? / I cried like a child, repeating, "It hurts, it hurts..." - This is tonal dissonance. And mixing grimdark themes with fanservice to the likes of this just cancels out what the story is trying to portray, this is why its hard for people to take such scenes seriously, especially seeing that rape is a complex issue (and should be treated accordingly).


1. Sure, you are right. It just means it probably is commonly held to have some purpose, to evoke a specific effect. It is not random or incoherent. Like fanservice, I can see what it is for, but on a general basis I do not necessarily consider it acceptable.

3. That term is not doing you any favors since I am interested in greater detail, but I think I see what you are saying. I agree, Goblin Slayer is not going to win any literary awards over this. In terms of how well these things were handled and justified: Good storytelling > mediocre storytelling > ress miracle > virgin requirement > same bed requirement.

4. While I agree in general terms, and also think it is a poor scene, I hope this:

"complex issue (and should be treated accordingly)"

Does not mean it has to always be treated with a fully serious tone, or a consistent mood. That's too limiting.

@papsoshea
Wow, that entire response proved two things to me. One, you are completely full of it and two, you have no idea how the real world works. You offer easy solutions to all the problems you've stated yet you fail to realize that it is never as simple as that. You are correct about having a difference of opinion but there's a clear difference between constructive criticism and childish rants, and what you're doing here is exactly the latter.

Everything has been explained to you in full detail and in a respectable manner yet you continue to be a jerk to everyone by brushing all of them off because they don't match your own perspectives and you can't stand the fact that not everyone here agrees with you. And you expect us to respect your opinions? No, sorry, that isn't the how it works pal. If you want people to respect you you need to show that same kind of respect as well, not throwing temper tantrums and calling everyone names whenever someone criticizes or questions your side of the argument.

I know you're not going to read the rest of this but allow me to make one last effort to explain things to you.

- The Goblin Slayer/Batman comparison isn't as abysmal as you think. If you really took the time to think about you would find that my comparison isn't a stretch. Any you seriously don't think that Batman had his own hatred and had moments where he was almost pushed to the brink? Especially with the Joker after what he did to Tim Drake(Robin) in the Batman Beyond movie?

- The adventures come to the guild to do a job and to get paid doing it even at the risk of their own lives. The clerks cannot prevent them from taking whatever jobs they want no matter how many warnings they give. If the adventures can't the job they signed up for because of some regulation enforced by the clerks they'll just go to some other guild. So what difference would it make? They are the ones putting their lives on the line. And you saying that that clerk doesn't care if they live or die is complete BS. We've seen plenty of times where she's relieved to see adventures coming back alive safe and sound even if a little beat up.

- The army has its hands full dealing with the Demon Lord's army or whatever it is. It cannot spare any troops to deal with goblins. And it doesn't seem to me that the goblins have been attacking settlements as often as they used to, so we have Goblin Slayer and others to thank for that.

- If you have trouble believing that a noob can get over a traumatic event very quickly given the current situation try watching The Pacific miniseries and then try having that conversation with me again.

And oh, forgive me if my explanation about GS and his archery skills offended you so much. I sincerely believed you were asking an honest question and as someone who has done archery before I was simply being a nice guy by explaining it to you but it's clear to me now that you're one of those people who thinks only their opinion matters and anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot.

Now, unless you actually have something intelligent to say I suggest you shut the hell up and stop acting like child. And don't come back here playing victim and saying, "Oh, you just being mean because you don't want me to have an opinion!" because no one on here is buying it.


There has been zero temper trantrums from me, I have clearly explained all my reasonings using in-universe referneces and examples. The temper trantrums are these the following:



1. It is abysmal. There are similarities that you mentioned but it ends with the explanation I have given. Batman does not kill. Batman's fight against crime is for the betterment of his people and city. Batman's motivation is not out of senseless revenge. We know many sides to Bruce Wayne, he has an actual name, we know what his face looks like, we see his pain and trauma through the main story, we know he is a broken person yet we see the many masks he wears - The Caped Crusader, The Playboy Billionaire, a caring citizen of Gotham, a Mentor etc.

For contrast



There is absolutely no way that you can compare Goblin Slayer to Batman, there are similarities in how they experienced a traumatic event at a young age but it ends there, you have to really start to stretch things to make certain connections. Being pushed to the brink and not doing it is a big difference. I mean you didn't really make an argument here with this point.

2. You didn't address the points here, you just repeated yourself. It's nonsensical and I gave inworld references and examples as to why. Here let me take a page out of your book and repost them.



and



3. Ok, so the issue I have here with this statement is YOU made the argument that Priestess was now a "veteran" after episode 2 which further episodes went on to prove you wrong! Concede! Secondly, I cannot give a valid opinion on "The Pacific" since I haven't seen it nor do I have the desire to just for argument's sake here lol I mean what kind of stance is that? This is one of the reasons why I didn't bother replying to you because of the fallacies you use in your responses. We are talking about a 15-year-old girl and not just any 15-year-old girl, a very weak 15-year-old girl with bare bone adventurer experience and the type to piss herself when her back is against the wall, the type that stands still and trembles in fear. Yeah sure, I mean an author can make Elephants pink and fly but that doesn't mean it makes sense! The fact that they overlooked such aspects with the Priestess makes the events she was in feel cheap.

4. It didn't offend me lol but please go on with your assumptions. Just saying, I mean you did my job for me when you ended your archery skills stroking-piece with this

DirectorK said:
Now with all this put into consideration, I am quite impressed that he was to make all those shots with a short bow while wearing a helmet that limits his vision and a flame flickering in front of him.


Yes, people are amused impressed as to how this makes sense from a meta point of view.

5. And then you just kill your entire argument (which you just cherry-picked) and went onto throw a "temper trantrum" at me. Shut the hell up? I don't think so lol come up with actual counter arguments or take a seat. Really, look at your posts in the episode 2 discussion thread xD the episodes after episode 2 went to prove most of your stuff wrong.

Goblin Slayer was having a dream about his past when he was being trained up to who he is now, but his sensei looked really creepy. It reminds me of a mole rat and his smile only made him creepier. >_<

Still, I am a little jealous of Goblin Slayer, though. He was sleeping in bed with the Sword Maiden and a nude Priestess in order to revive him with the power of sleeping with a virgin. Vague explanation, sure, but I wish I was in his position right now! =P

Sword Maiden without her blindfold was a surprise. She's not totally blind, but she can barely make out Goblin Slayer's shape even from a few feet away. Either way, she might've beaten the Demon Lord and all, but she's scared of the goblins since they assaulted her when she was younger.

The episode might've lacked goblins, but it did have some nice SoL moments between Goblin Slayer and Priestess, with my favourite scene between the two was with the ice cream. Priestess getting brain freeze after downing a huge chunk of the ice cream was really cute. =3

And, of course, their had to be some action, so a massive-eyed creature was the target of Goblin Slayer's group and the way they took it down was pretty cool. Not bad at all.

Came in to remark on how the flour explosion scene turned out... Awesome and pretty decently animated it was. But damn some of the people posting in this episodes thread have some serious fucking issues.


Indeed. This is not the first show I've watched where most of the episode discussion turns into a battle zone of multiple people clashing with each other for days, weeks and even months on end to prove their opinion is better than their rivals. As for me, I just view some of the other users ranting on in this discussion thread and I just can't help but think that they need to get some fresh air and stay away from these forums for a while.

That's me putting it nicely, though. In blunter terms, they're just making themselves look like utter idiots. No one is going to come out as a winner here. Only losers. They've got better time with their lives to spend rather than keeping up a pointless rant battle as to why they like/hate Goblin Slayer. ¬_¬

This episode was pretty calm. We have some interesting facts like the relationship between the GS and the Priestess, a bit of GS's past and we see Sword Maiden's true face. I like how she explains her trauma with the goblins. Also, GS's master is creppy.

I love how the witch talks lmao.

@papsoshea I don't care about people that like or dislike the show. Indeed, I can say anything I want (bad or good) without attacking the fans. And yet, you did it. Let's start.

*It seems that you still care about the rape scene (and the rape trauma) despite that you've said different some time ago. So, what it is?

*It's funny that you use the word 'generic' (unless that it means 'poorly executed') but you rated Fairy Tail (aka Ecchi Tail) 8/10. Indeed, most of your complaints of GS simply contradict each other with that two scores. EDIT: Highschool of the Dead too. Of course, that would only make sense if you rate some shows that you like for enjoyment while that the shows that you don't like is not the same.

@DipsterHouchebag Would it be different if they were men? Also, you forget the murder scene of a male from the first episode. Don't be angry, men are people too. GS is a "soft-core hentai"?, be careful with Kakegurui!

Just when you think this anime couldn't get any more trashier, it goes on to prove you wrong every time! Lol, more tonal dissonance from how episode 7 ended to the beginning of this episode where we have the "pleasure" of seeing some fanservice of some little tits from priestess and big tits from Sword Maiden lol and all those gratuitous camera shots on her boobs for what reason? And you get jack shit out of that scene - first, how are they healed? Well reason: Deus Ex Machina!

And why did this spell have to revolve around a perverted theme that it can only work by sleeping with a virgin? Excuse for fanservice. And the Sword Maiden likes Gobin Slayer for what reasons? That whole scene just inconsistency with the tone again when trying to delve into past trauma which makes the whole thing pointless!

Then more Slice of Life and generic comedic vibes when this show is "supposedly" a dark and mature fantasy (which many claimed in the episode 1 discussion) lol and the abysmal dialogue continues, Goblin Slayers dialogue is so cringe and pointless - and this episode just keeps proving the point on how one-dimensional these characters are, they are 99% incapable of talking about anything that isn't related to Goblin Slayer, even when Lancer-wannabe and Big tits Sorceress show up, conveniently bringing a bag of ass-pull (Big tits Sorceress's dialogue is retarded, why does she sound like she's out of breath? Is it because her tits are too big?).

Then immediately jump back into action, against an enemy Goblin Slayer has never fought before, but like always, he reads the script! He just knows everything! You remember how he figured out about the Canary, well he also happened to learn about this being of chaos as well and everything went accordingly to plan. And then the dumb ass one-dimensional characters need to know how he did it, then Goblin Slayer proceeds to tell them and the viewers - this series is so garbage and the studio has had many chances to give it a little more than the trash source material. 1/10 again, these characters are so bad, and why is this show trying to give off the idea that Goblin Slayer and the Priestess has some special relationship when they don't lol

Is everything forgetting how the Priestess character regressed in the last episode where she appeared to be exactly how she was in episode 1? Lol smh

It's not sex. Just sleeping together naked, with skin contact. Also, GS wasn't entirely unconcious at some point. Also, also, he never actually died because in that case it would have been game over.

Before you start, I was attacked first, here in this thread for simply for giving my opinion.

Nurguburu said:

My stance on this hasn't changed. I mean feel free to give examples.

Generic without context doesn't mean anything. A generic story imo that is executed well is High Score Girl, it achieves most things it set out to be. Fairy Tail is a generic series that I find fun, it doesn't take itself seriously, popcorn entertainment. Completely the opposite to Goblin Slayer, you know, a show that takes itself too seriously, it's not a good comparison, especially when we rate differently - I mean look on my profile, I rate based on enjoyment, if you don't enjoy something, well it couldn't be more obvious now could it? I mean feel free to quote me where I talk about anything about Fairy Tail having an amazing story and what not lol and I don't make the argument that ecchi/fanservice are bad things, again this comes down to what kind of show it is and many other aspects.

That scene isn't treated equally as the 'rape' scene, it was off-screen. In fact, murder and rape aren't treated equally in this series at all. And 'rape' is selectively applied, most grimdark is selectively applied to everyone but the main cast of characters.

What is Goblin slayers sensei he dosnt look like a goblin nor a human or perhaps he is a really ugly human.

Great episode.
His sensei said goblins are smart when the show established that they are intellectually stupid, no smarter than a child (and we ain't talking about child prodigies either). More world building flaws, total inconsistency with inworld facts.


Did you even watch this anime? GS from the start said that Goblins should not be underestimated. Forgot how the double entrance screwed the party? Or heck, how last episode Goblins set poison gas trap?

Also, GS didn't know anything about Beholder (giant eye), besides what Dragon told him. He propably wanted to try his move against goblins.

To be fair you gotta have a fairly high EQ to understand this implicitly from the scene...
Also, is it just me or is the Sword Maiden all but telling GS to bang the Priestess so she doesn't lose her virginity to a goblin due to a disaster or something?
Like, carpe diem or sumthin.

@papsoshea
Yeah, I repeated what I said before because those are the cold hard facts and that's the way I see things. Want to know why? Because I'm been through hardships myself and a seen a few horrible things in my life so I have fairly good idea of what these characters are going through and why this anime is written the way it is. I also happen to be a story teller, so I know how these things work.

I'm not going to give you any further explanation because you've made it very clear at this point that our thoughts and opinions are inferior to yours and you're not going to listen to anything we have to say. Call it chickening out if you want but again you've made stance on this subject very clear so why should I or any of us bother to continue? You've constantly ask us to counter your arguments and we have, or at the very least tried, yet you continue to ignore what we say anyway because our opinions don't match yours.

Also, we're not the ones who attacked you, you did. All we've done is try to clarify things with you and/or asked if you can go into further detail and like a child you went off on a tangent for even questioning your intelligence. Now you're even changing people's comments to fit your own agenda. Really man? Do you any idea how cheap you're being? That basically tells me that you're never going to agree with us until we agree with you. Completely agree with you. And you're willing to bully everyone to do so.

The fact that you're not going to follow my suggestion just proves to me how lazy you really are. You've never gone any kind hardships in your life and how no idea just how bad life can get. If you'd put yourself in shoes of any of these characters and have lived their kind of lives you wouldn't be here spouting your mouth off the way you are. And saying you're not going to bother watching The Pacific because it's a waste of time is bullshit. If you can sit there in front of your computer replying to every single person who responds to you on here then you can certainly take the time watch a ten hour miniseries.

You want the cold hard truth? Here it is. The truth is you don't hate Goblin Slayer despite giving every indication that you do. You actually love it, probably more than we do, but you hate it for everything that it's done so far. You went into this anime expecting it to be one thing(even though it was clear from the beginning that it wasn't) and instead you got something else. And after eight episodes you're still bitter about it and you feel the need to constantly remind us why. Well, guess what? After eight episodes of listening to your rants most and brushing off everyone who tries to tell you differently the majority of the people on here no longer give a shit about your "opinions" because they're no longer opinions. They are just the ravings of an overgrown child who didn't get what they wanted.

I'll close this argument by letting you in on a little secret. I happen to love Fairy Tail too, but there are times where I hate it for the shenanigans it sometimes pull and I have to put it on hold for a time. But I always come back to it because despite it's flaws I still love it for what it is.

Nothing like wasting a whole episode on an insignificant side story (rat killing newbies) just to skip important parts and the good stuff. Not to mention how skipping the farm defence arc created gaping plotholes in this part of the anime. Manga is awesome, LN is pretty good but aside from the first episode, the anime has pretty much nothing going for it.
Rat killing newbies were not a whole episode, 1/3 at most. And they were interacting with bunch of other characters. Defending farm in 7 minutes would be much worse.

Plot holes because of skipped farm defense is total BS, there are none. It doesn't have much impact on the story, they could easily plug it in later.
Try explaining Priestess's surprise seeing GS's face after the farm now that she shared a bed with him. Or GS asking Lancer to bring the stuff before what happened in the guild before the battle at the farm. Or GS actually opening to other people without that battle. Writing in the anime is pure garbage, there's no defending it saying they are just taking liberties transitioning to other medium.

Great episode ;) So now we know the story of the Maiden and finally, we saw GS body, and it's full of scars.
What a nice way to be healed xD Especially with such a Maiden and Priestess, hope there will be more healing haha

I wonder what that glass was but i think it's a portal so that goblins can enter the city easily.

A slower paced episode.

Sword Maiden seems to be really into GS tbh.

They have started another hunt.

Awful episode. Had a total of 4 full minutes worth of good content, where I expected much more.

I had to skip all fan-service and slice-of-life situations (because of my preferences), so there were only 2 scenes:
The question/puzzles, which was enjoyable to watch, and to see a different creature (eyeball) - which was a so-so scene (because this sort of thing is getting kind of repetitive). All other scenes were skipped or pretty much erased from my memory by now.

I hope another series come to take it's place or something. Can't keep following to hunt only so few scenes of actual content.

edit (read some comments):
As other have said, yes, this anime just had tonal dissonance.

When starting this episode (bed scene and forward), I literally paused, googled for the wikipedia (for the small recaps) to confirm I didn't just skipped an entire episode. Then I saw I didn't, and I started thinking.. "no, somethings' wrong; this is ridiculous!".

The only conversation that was interesting was the puzzles. All others, with no exception, were pointless. All that death/resurrection (with the arbitrary, ridiculous virgin-laying requirement) was meaningless, they should rather have not killed him in the first place, then! or made him captured and saved in later episodes, anything. I barely knew he was dead and he was back alive already! So they even took away the mourn opportunity from viewers.

I got so dissapointed to the point of registering and posting in a forum ;| (HAD to confirm if it was just me)

In short, 4 minutes of joyful (or so-so) content, and 16 minutes of pointless fan-serviced filler. And user papsoshea got it precisely right.

Guys guys guys I have this new originaru content donut steel monster, it's a ball with lots eyestalks firing all sorts of beams, including disintegration and antimagic. I'm gonna call it B-horuda, donut steel pls.

I love how corny and openly candid this anime is in its references, e.g. the Lancer clone having the exact same hairstyle, or the beholder being mentioned as a "being that should not be named" (or else they're 100% getting sued for copyright infringement!).
Yet these hands will never hold anything.
Thus I pray, Unlimited Waifu Works!

Ok so when that Priestess performed that so called "Resurrection Miracle" and sleeping naked next to GS ford it mean that she did it with him or did she just do some foreplay on GS' body?????

So, if that Sword Maiden has no problem with her eyes, then why does she need to blindfold herself all the time, and if she defeated the Demon Lord then why is she such a pussy against them Goblins??????

Literally sharing a bed and praying for several hours. There was no hibbidy bibbidy.

Sword Maiden is pretty much legally blind. She can only see some fuzzy outlines and shadows.

She has an irrational fear of goblins because she was abducted by them once.

She prolly had to make direct contact with him to pour her mana into him or sumthin. Like, a special virgin priestess bodycontact contiguous healing spell. Look... blame Japan.

Wow, that entire response proved two things to me. One, you are completely full of it and two, you have no idea how the real world works. You offer easy solutions to all the problems you've stated yet you fail to realize that it is never as simple as that. You are correct about having a difference of opinion but there's a clear difference between constructive criticism and childish rants, and what you're doing here is exactly the latter.

Everything has been explained to you in full detail and in a respectable manner yet you continue to be a jerk to everyone by brushing all of them off because they don't match your own perspectives and you can't stand the fact that not everyone here agrees with you. And you expect us to respect your opinions? No, sorry, that isn't the how it works pal. If you want people to respect you you need to show that same kind of respect as well, not throwing temper tantrums and calling everyone names whenever someone criticizes or questions your side of the argument.

I know you're not going to read the rest of this but allow me to make one last effort to explain things to you.

- The Goblin Slayer/Batman comparison isn't as abysmal as you think. If you really took the time to think about you would find that my comparison isn't a stretch. Any you seriously don't think that Batman had his own hatred and had moments where he was almost pushed to the brink? Especially with the Joker after what he did to Tim Drake(Robin) in the Batman Beyond movie?

- The adventures come to the guild to do a job and to get paid doing it even at the risk of their own lives. The clerks cannot prevent them from taking whatever jobs they want no matter how many warnings they give. If the adventures can't the job they signed up for because of some regulation enforced by the clerks they'll just go to some other guild. So what difference would it make? They are the ones putting their lives on the line. And you saying that that clerk doesn't care if they live or die is complete BS. We've seen plenty of times where she's relieved to see adventures coming back alive safe and sound even if a little beat up.

- The army has its hands full dealing with the Demon Lord's army or whatever it is. It cannot spare any troops to deal with goblins. And it doesn't seem to me that the goblins have been attacking settlements as often as they used to, so we have Goblin Slayer and others to thank for that.

- If you have trouble believing that a noob can get over a traumatic event very quickly given the current situation try watching The Pacific miniseries and then try having that conversation with me again.

And oh, forgive me if my explanation about GS and his archery skills offended you so much. I sincerely believed you were asking an honest question and as someone who has done archery before I was simply being a nice guy by explaining it to you but it's clear to me now that you're one of those people who thinks only their opinion matters and anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot.

Now, unless you actually have something intelligent to say I suggest you shut the hell up and stop acting like child. And don't come back here playing victim and saying, "Oh, you just being mean because you don't want me to have an opinion!" because no one on here is buying it.

Well that boss went down a lot faster than I remember...

Anyway, I've had it with this anime. The LN is okay but this version is abysmal. 2018 was seeeeeeriously not a good year for White Fox!

What's wrong with this version?
Well first off, episode 1. Second off, the bland visual presentation (and CGI). Third off, the voice actors are just as dry as the characters. And lastly, the LNs being books meant that I could've steamrolled through the boring SoL stuff and gotten to the D&D-style goodness but here not so much.

Good episode!

I am happy that GS is healthy again, sleeping with Priesstess and Sword Maiden for the miracle of resurrection was like his one and only time to be in heaven!

GS's teacher looked strange, i wonder what his teacher a is, a diferent goblin or something else!

GS and Priestess walking in city to repair their think was cool to watch!

At the end, where that devil eye came from, under that city we see a lot of strange thinks, not only goblins! Was cool how they defeated it!

Sir you are being too repetitive now. We get that you hate the series but...episode 8 shouldn't be enough to jump off the hate train? Like, i don't know, go watch another series and come back for the finale to say all the shit you hated. It's more practical.

Besides you don't even listen to others if they don't agree with you. Yeah you maybe read the messages but you keep going to repeat the same thing over and over again. You make mistakes in your criticism but you never acknowledge them.
