Goblin Slayer is just a Doom guy and selfinsert for watchers. Just more autistic over killing goblins.  Self-insert? He's probably one of the last people in anime I'd want to "insert" myself into... |

Acernos said: No doubt, I expect the howls of protest to begin any time now. They were bolder than I expected with the rape scene, honestly, something like that will undoubtedly infuriate many western SJW. . I loved this episode because it didn’t shy away from brutality and rape, and instead showed what evil really is. |
uninstallthegame said: GemTastical said: Yeah pretty much to make it clear to anyone who wanders into here blind. Goblin Slayer doesn't have much in the way of a story. The manga especially dumbs it down further, which seems to be what the anime is gearing towards after having watched ep 1. Goblin Slayer is about a dude who hates goblins and kills them. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't expect giant twists and brain provoking character development. This show isn't going to be that deep. It's about the greatest edgelord meme guy killing goblins and occasionally running into big titty women. Said women 8 times out of 10 end up being used as rape fuel. Don't try to stick with it then complain that the story doesn't go anywhere. It's not meant to go anywhere. that's a rather dull description. while it seems edgy right off the bat with nothing but KILL KILL KILL, it shows a bit of reality compared to your average seasonal isekai bullshit It's only dull if you go into this expecting something beyond what it's billed as. I feel like sites like Crunchyroll are doing it a disservice by making headlines like "This is the punisher of anime" because people think it's going to have some deeper psychological factors into it. Just watch it as Goblin Slayer kicking the shit out of Goblins in glorious fashion and you'll be fine. I feel like this needs to be a warning to everyone who goes into this, otherwise there'll just be 1000 people complaining about it daily because they expected something else. |
GemTastical said: epidemia78 said: I've read 28 chapters of the manga. There's not that much rape, and it never gets worse than in chapter 1. As someone who's read every manga chapter to date, it gets WAY willder than what's shown in episode 1 my dude. You've read up to what chapter? |

By "dumb it down further" does that mean that they don't have those boring slice-of-life scenes that the LN author tried to pass off as "character development"? I don't know if I'd like or dislike it more that way though... |
| nice start episode, i can't wait for the upcoming ones. |
| Man this was good! I'm still on the fence if I should pick up either manga or LN version of Goblin Slayer. I like the visual brutality of the manga (I've read a couple chapters of it) but on the other hand the LN's world building would be nice as well... Anyone care to help which one I should go with? Of course I'm gonna keep up with the anime adaptation as well! |

Can't remember the exact number but as of my last reading they'd reached the Dark Elf portion of the story. [Won't go too deep into it to avoid spoiling the anime onlys] |
| Even if this is rather edgy, it's a breath of fresh air to me. There have just been too many trashy isekais lately, and I'm glad to see a fantasy anime without that baggage. |

| I wanted edge, I got it, so I don't have any complaint. Also Goblin Slayer looks like a very cool edgelord (and he has a sexy voicee too), so he should be a nice main character to follow up. Was very satisfying seeing him massacring all those little shits, I will look forward to how he will kill every goblin he will find for the remaining episodes. Let's hope Priestess girl also ends in one piece through the show too. |

I don't know if I'd like or dislike it more that way though... Well I just said they dumbed it down. I'm not trying to bill Goblin Slayer as being all that deep even in it's Light Novel version. Usually any bit of characterization is good. Even if it's poorly done. The way the manga went about it made everyone except Goblin Slayer himself feel horribly one dimensional. |

SNDT said: They were registered adventurers, she couldn't stop them even if she wanted to.And that receptionist girl didn't even try to stop them roflmao. Ok kids go and die. Artur_Moreira said: Oof, the salt.Horrible, typical "dark" idiot fantasy created by a 15 year old boy. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Pretty good episode.Didn't expect them to adopt the Manga instead. |
 |
| the title of this anime said it all, it’s Goblin Slayer. a Slayer of fucking goblin. that’s all there is. nah, there’s will be no such thing as a goblin slayer destined to save the world from demon blah blah blah. as far as i read the manga, Goblin Slayer only deals with 1 thing, goblin. and maybe woman that he will met occasionaly. and fate. if you don’t like it, let’s just say that this anime is a comprehensive guide to deal with goblins, tips and trick, what to do and not what to do on how to dealing with them. exclusively made into 13 ep tv anime series. so in case if you transferred into another world, you don’t mess with this little green shit casually. but to be real though, it’s a good 1st episode, i’m expecting to be like this and it be like that and i’m happy, maybe the sudden change of Goblin Slayer from 2d into 3d animation is kinda off but it’s still nice. dont care about the rape, dark and edgy shit people say |
 |
| That was pretty uncomfortable to watch tbh. Not sure this is really gonna be my kinda thing. |
| Meh they toned down the rape scenes from the manga. Usually the anime makes it better. |
 |
| Goblin slaying gone wrong. That proves one should not underestimate even weak monsters, and that not pairing with more experienced adventurer and go on first adventure with rookies only can be a huge mistake. It's nice to see something darker for a change. I'm glad at least MC got out of there somewhat unscathed. Goblin slayer looks pretty cool, and I like his methodic approach to things. He is certainly someone that our MC can learn from to become a strong adventuress herself. |
King-of-souls said: Meh they toned down the rape scenes from the manga. Usually the anime makes it better. In all honesty it wasn't toned down all that much. It more or less went exactly how the first chapter went (Which is half of ep 1 admittedly.) The only difference is that martial arts girl gets one extra panel in the manga showing her crying on the floor, but nothing else. If anything it seems like they cut out other stuff from the manga to make room for the rape. |
| I liked a lot this first episode but I think that the series would benefit from being far more explicit. |
MonkeyDJasper said: Blue_Reaper said: Nobody is bitching first off you seem triggered that somebody has questions and feels a certain type of way about this . I asked a simple question and that was it . I already know that they do it to reproduce more goblins somebody already told me thank you very much . I didn’t ask you if you felt uncomfortable watching it or not now did i ?indeed it is people already said so many times goblin slayer is about a guy who like slaying goblins, no more than that. you want the reason? that will be a spoiler you feel uncomfortable with the rape scene? i don't, and there will be more of it stop bitching and drop it already. lol you just complained about the anime and you refuse that you're bitching? what a sick denialism. you just make a post in a forum and now you're bitching because someone responded to your post? oh please GTFO from the internet, you're too young for it. |

SNDT said: Yeah, right. I can make up shit like that too. Watch me. They were the weakest adventures. She as a guild employee could easily stop them. But i'm not talking about what she could or couldn't. She didn't EVEN TRIED to do something and it didn't seem that she even cared about what will happen to them. she said you could wait for more experienced adventurers to take the job. the problem with goblin slaying quests in that world is |
|
SNDT said: Okay.....??Yeah, right. I can make up shit like that too. Watch me. They were the weakest adventures. She as a guild employee could easily stop them. Stop them how? Fight them herself or call other guild members to apprehend the foolish youngsters who think they can take on goblins aka the weakest monsters in that world??But i'm not talking about what she could or couldn't. She didn't EVEN TRIED to do something and it didn't seem that she even cared about what will happen to them. And not caring about some random guild members is bad...? I assume that's what you're saying. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| this anime remind me a lot of grimgar but with more gore/dark on it. it show us what the reality of life and death when someone choose to become an adventure, which not so merry happy like many other anime show us. |
| The animation was pretty crappy and all the faces looked deformed af until shit started to escalate quickly The ep was kind of bad(the story so far is good but it has some stupid moments) but at the same time it was so good It made me feel a lot of different type of emotions in a positive way The directing during the action scenes was great in other hand the directing of the more casual scenes at the start of the ep was awful and they sure like to hide the mouth of the person who is talking And that ost is top notch 4/5 But lol if this is supposed to be the toned down version ,i wonder how the manga is Best season from 2018 by far |

 |
| lol!!! Why did'nt the guild girl stop them from going, just gave them a warning, if it is frequent occurring with rookies!!!!!! |
 |
| I hope that constantly merging 2d and CGI doesn't become a trend. Another anime from this season is also doing the same (Double Decker). It's confusing and looks like shit. Also, the lyp syncing was terrible and the episode was pretty much introduction + torture + edge. |
"Doubting everything that you take on... That is very important. Open your own eyes, clear out your ears, and look and listen to the world... And think using your own brain. After you've doubted everything, there is a possibility of something real to believe in. To believe in something, doubt everything." |
Rape in the 1st episode, eh? |

In the case of the anime, it seems like they're toning down the story in favor of the rape, which is kind of funny. |
| Judging by this topic after seeing the first episode we already saw everything, theres nothing more to add here ? He just keeps killing goblins and they keep raping ? Can as well drop it lol |
 |
| Well fuck, that was dark and uncomfortable. I heard it was going to have rape scene, but I never imagine how horrifying it is until I see it with my own eyes. That is what happens when you don't invite a tank to your party and DPS start to pull trash. |

MrParadise said: Judging by this topic after seeing the first episode we already saw everything, theres nothing more to add here ? He just keeps killing goblins and they keep raping ? Can as well drop it lol Not going too deep to avoid spoilers, but the setting itself is as grand as a fantasy anime can be. They set up the existence of dark elves, dragons, etc. All sorts of mythological creatures that could bring the world to ruin. But they narrow the entire story down to Goblins and their raping because that's all Goblin Slayer cares about. The rest oft he world can go to hell for all he cares. Goblins need to be exterminated. |
| Aside from the CGI, pretty good 1st episode. Honestly really surprised they had the balls to add the rape scenes If Berserk had a younger little brother, it would be this |
 |
| Fucking golden. The Goblin Slayer was waaaaay more talkative than i expected (i expected Bounty Hunter from Darkest Dungeon). I also dont like the voice actor at all but its probably gonna be explained soon on the next episodes. That ending song is so avatar. Manly shit was something that was missing from this season. |
| I never lie on the internet. What's the point of it... the chinese noodles ad is an anime and avatar isn't! triggered Check out my taste and my profile. |

That's just opening the door to even more people complaining. |

|
| Awfully generic. I was expecting something like that but it went beyond my expectations. Seriously, so much hype because of blood, rape and violence? Meh. The only nice thing about this episode is cute design od MC. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| i'm amazed people are complaining about rape. so gory violence is good, but rape is no-no? okay... |
|
| I liked watching that cocky little bastard get ripped apart and then his companions get abused. Wars of extermination are no laughing matter. It’s not all “Pip Pip, for the love of St George and no quarter!” Sometimes the other guys are chattering exactly the same thing, and in that cave, they meant it! |

Ziirf said: not exactly. There will be some more but the series doesn't rely on rape for shock value as much as this ep implies. I'd say there's 2 more instances of rape after this for this season. Gauge it from there to decide if you'll continue or notI honestly do not like rape scenes, but other than that I don't mind brutality in shows. That is just my no-go-zone, so before i continue I would like to ask the people that read the source material. - Are there more rape scenes? |
