YizelTro said: HOW THE F IS THIS A 13 RATING SERIES ?! Totally. This is why youth of today is largely morally fucked up because they aren't adults, with no real life experience, and exposed to fairly explicit and traumatic scenes with the context of "entertainment". And it's irrelevant when it's timed to air with the ability to download, stream, and/or record. Same concept of every child-teen getting a M rated game the day it drops... Anywho...it was an interesting start. Brutal and violent. A little hard to watch as I don't like rape scenes but I like the honest brutality of this spin on the adventurer genre. |
| These goblins are a bunch of perverts . |
| That was some good shit. Mc seiyuu is one of my favorites awesome couldn't ask for more hope he doesn't turn out to be a fool. |
Blue_Reaper said: uninstallthegame said: i'm amazed people are complaining about rape. so gory violence is good, but rape is no-no? okay... because they are cowards who's too afraid a fictional rape becomes reality in their life. i bet these people are the same people who accuse people who enjoyed anime lolis are pedophile. I guess you never had a ex-girlfriend being raped. It isn't that it is violent, it is that you remember shit that you would rather be without. All the power to people that don't mind it, it just isn't everyone. |

You are right, but nowadays, unless it's a shounen, every anime has a night time tv slot. Like, something like Release the Spyce from this season has an even later time slot from goblin slayer, on 2:40 am, and that's just some PG-13 (for the first episode at least) cute girls doing cute things while fighting to establish peace in the city. |

Goblin Slayer just had more money to throw at the tv stations to broadcast the anime at a better time. Apart from the LN and the manga, it has two new manga spin-offs. So, a lot is riding on this anime, and getting a shit time slot would not be good.You are right, but nowadays, unless it's a shounen, every anime has a night time tv slot.

It would be a pretty big twist tho if Release the Spyre proved to be plenty brutal as well xD |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I came to this anime fully aware of what I'm getting into but still... damn son... I'm just glad I didn't watch it eating something like I usually do. And that priestess still has the guts to continue as an adventurer even after what she witnessed? Talk about daring. |

Blue_Reaper said: as i expected, people start bitching about the rape, logic, and dark elements lol. i just don't understand what's your standard for "dark" themed anime. just curious if this isn't dark then what should be considered dark? or you just hate it because you can't enjoyed it? Well what'd you expect from MAL community, most of us are bunches of people who love to spreading negativity on everything lol, knowing hating any popular series or mainstream anime are considered cool here is enough to prove it and not surprising this anime is going to be the same case like re:zero and overlord.. And i suggest they try to touch any dark hentai anime who there are a lot being included in the database, which is absolutely out of the line than this.. |

| well i never read the manga or light novel so i came with low expectation when watching this anime and boi this is quite surprising and caught my guard off... Can't wait for next episode.. |

ganomed said: It's not logic the goblins poisoned the first girl, they should have try to capture her has well. One episode one plothole Because goblins are egoistic little creatures that prioritizes emotion over logic. In their little brain while they have no qualms betraying their own kind to save their own skin, they somehow felt camaraderie conveniently when the mage brunt one of them to crisp. They felt the urge to quench their thirst for revenge of their slain 'comrade' over the desire to obtain another plaything/breeding tool and thus stab the mage in a fit of 'just' anger. |

Paul said: Koroginzu said: I kinda like it Goblin Slayer, because dark atmosphere in it. But it's very ridiculous, about goblins who like to rape women to increase their populations... is there no female goblin? lol It varies between stories. It's not uncommon to have stories where goblins, orcs and various other monsters are only born male or in some cases, only female, and have extremely low birth rate of the other gender, so they copulate with other creatures to prolong their species. Though you can probably guess, stories that elaborate on this are usually r18 stuff or explicit series like this. I don't hate it, but yeah this anime interesting :3 |

Ziirf said: I 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? Yes, there will be more rape scenes. |
| That was dark...but the cute artstyle is just unfitting to the atmosphere. Kinda reminds me of akame ga kill. |
   smell of coffee songs of sleep  |
| Another title that perhaps will reserve some nice surprises at the end of the season. Start very well chosen, although obvious in the results, but does not detract from the narrative, which remains real and very raw. Fanservice only mentioned that does not bother, but enhances the qualities of the most bloody title of the season. Pretty good graphics quality. |

| am i the only one that triggered by the action the newbs ? |

Since then I been called out multiple times. - I wont tell anyone they are wrong for liking this, I just wanted to let you know that there are people who dislike it for a reason, while having a very high tolerance towards gore. As for the research part, I never really research any anime before giving it the first episode, nor will i give it a rating if I didn't like it. It isn't like I can't watch rape scenes, but if they are reoccurring I just prefer not to watch this show. Anyways, I hope you will enjoy the rest of this show. |

| Was a bit worried when the show was announced as some scenes may not have been adapted, such as the rape scenes, which in my opinion set the tone for the show well and gets you to hate the goblins fairly quickly. After episode 1, I've got to say that its a very faithful adaptation and even some of the fairly brutal scenes were added. The only issue I have is some of the 3DCG stood out a fair bit but so far it's not an issue, hopefully the CG doesn't become too obvious in the later episodes and subtract from the show. I don't mind CG as long as the viewer isn't watching the CG instead of the show itself. Overall looking forward to the next episode to see how it goes. |

| wow, this is awesome. I didn't expect that it would be so dark, with teenagers getting raped and slaughtered, but I still liked it, since it's a dark anime, so I wish people would stop being so bitchy. The Goblin Slayer is so badass, that was a cool shot of him walking in to help. I'd say it will probably be in the Top 3 of the season. |
| What is this?Berserk ver 2 ?Jk it's just the first episode so cant say anything yet.But the anime is made by White Fox so I'm having some hope that it'll get better though. |
| I don't want to watch this kind of brutallity. I supose that the anime will be always goblins raping elfs and the gobling slayer killing goblins. So there's no plot progression. I understand that some people want to watch ghoulish scenes of raped girls. But that's not for me, thanks. Dropped. |
| Wasn't planning on watching this (not while airing at least), but now it seem like it will be the anime everyone will be watching and talking about from the current season, so I can't miss it out. |
 |
| Must say I kinda like it but it´s way to dark for me way to dark but it was far from bad. So I will drop it. But I say this will be an anime allot of people like if they like dark anime's They done that well. Im kinda disappointed I had hope for a normal ish fantasy not game of thrones dark I was hope for more of lord of the rings dark but not to dark. |
 |
| Well started. Did not read manga but it's more brutal than I expected. |

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. GemTastical said: As someone who's read every manga chapter to date, it gets WAY willder than what's shown in episode 1 my dude. epidemia78 said: You've read up to what chapter? I know, it's funny right? There are only 28 chapters so far... Based on a lot of what that guy has been saying in another thread, I'm beginning to doubt he even read the manga. |

| Aaaaand the snowflakes have come to cry. I expected themes such as gore and rape on dark fantasy series, most dark fantasy mostly have those dreary themes and setting. I expect more of this show before reading the manga and light novel, I tire of the idealistic and naive protagonists in fantasy series or most anime so I welcome pragmatic heroes or anti-heroes (villains in an extent like Ainz). |

It's refreshing in a way. No making friendly with the cute monsters. No harem. No plot armor. Just people in a dangerous fantasy world trying to survive. The only other show like this I've seen recently was Grimgar. |
| @Ziirf The depiction of rape get lesser and lesser. After some point it even goes away completely. So, if you can stomach it, I would recommend you keep watching since the series is pretty interesting overall. But the nudity and gore remain, so if that bothers you as well, I wouldn't recommend continuing. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I'm loving it so far. Very much D&D campaign inspired. You can see it from the outset. I've only read like the first chapter of the light novel so I don't know where its really headed but I'm all in. Really got me in the mindset to run my D&D game. Also gotta say that the soundtrack is fire for this show. I hope they release it at some point because I would totally love to add it to my already massive collection of scores. |
