| Jesus christ that was dark. I didn't enjoy those scenes. But the MC is cute and I liked her resolve at the end of the episode. I'll keep watching. |

Aeonenleben said: You need to set up a world relativly soon. It is important to explain the viewer how it works. You don't have to do this with narration. There are more subtle approaches. Says who? I didn't know there were rules you needed to follow. Who made you king? Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara does this really well in its first episode. Hell, even the new SAO does a better job than this anime. Yes, and your point? But why am i even talking? You haven't seen shit and have Naruto in your favorites and Hitler listed as favorite person. You are just another edgy 12-year old that probably grew up without a father figure. So pretty much the target audience of this anime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem |
| This anime is so edgy it's comical. Just another mishmash of generic fantasy setting, sprinkled with tropes, cliches and unoriginal ideas. Add some brain-dead, naive and childish characters and you have the perfect anime for the 'overrated stuffs' section. |
Suddenly, someone slaps you with a brick wall. |
| Mal considered this as PG 13? are you joking? while as well reading the manga and purpose of the whole story and premise Goblin Slayer is not PG 13 xD |
| Avé Maria! We beg thee to protect us your humble servants from The Turk, The Plague, and The Nude Waifu. Amen |
| that was fucking epic |
 |
| My edgy Boi Goblin Slayer-sama getting his fine scarf animated at last, his voice is a bit desensitized, always have thought he had a rough and tough voice, but not too much of a veteran even thought he is one, just adds the humanity in him is all. Adapted the rape scenes as well, as should be, being the one who got me into Goblin porn, should retain its every glory. Can't wait for that boss arc to be animated. |

| I went into this show completely blind and enjoyed some massacre and death of characters. For now I'm hooked to this show and might pick up the manga later if this enjoyment stays. |
 |
| Manga > LN > Anime don't destroy your expectations. read the manga first. anime is only for extra. |
 |
| How should I put this, the plot is pretty ok-ish so far. (Welp, newbies entering Goblin cave completely unprepared, overconfident/ no experience, I was expecting them to get slaughtered anyway, so no surprise here) But I was expecting much darker/ more gore, considering the source material. But as expected, as a TV series, they really shy away from all the gore scene, pulling away camera, making the brutal scene as light as possible. Throughout the episodes, I don't feel uncomfortable at all cuz the gore scene is pretty unrealistic and didn't show much too. I really wish they can learn from Made in Abyss, not shying away from the brutal/ gore scenes. The combat scene leaves alittle bit to be desired too. |
Reynordg said: The version that's going around is the uncensored versionTokoya said: Is there also an uncensored version that's airing on AT-X? Yes, I watched it from there. Where can I watch that uncensored version? Sorry, I don't really know what is AT-X at all haha |
Achaman said: meh feels like their trying too hard..and i doubt goblin slayer had a voice that deep and im glad its censored i dont want to see that shit again.. oh and the animation seems jerky to me Are they trying too hard? I feel like they're not even trying.. All the camera shy away from the slaughter scene, blood being super unrealistic, rape scene is censored and pulled away ofc. Yeah, making it PG13 is a mistake, just make it 18+ so they don't have to shy away from the violence/ rape. Tbf, manga is much more bloody than this. Well, this is how TV series go anyway, not really surprised. Fate Zero got censored alot too on TV series too. If you read the manga, you'd see how TERRIBLE casters and his master do to those children. THAT is really what makes me feel uncomfortable, WAY TOO MUCH even to me. F/Z anime censor it to the right level. Goblin Slayer anime censored too much. |

| I expected it to be dark due to various things I heard about this series. But damn they really went all out. The beginning of the episode kind of had me going "Ehh" but it definitely had be pulled in by the end of the episode. Looking for to this series this season. I hope the studio doesn't find a way to fuck this up before the end. I think I might even check out the manga. |
 |
hmm... blood, gore, violence, rape, trauma … |
| Sink... into Darkness! |
| WOW! WOW! WOW! definitely the best first episode i've ever seen this Fall-2018 season! So that's why i've read so many comments that this show was hype....and it truly was great! 5/5! |
 |
| My fucking god. I walked in not knowing ANYTHING about this series. And my god they didn't hold back at all. I anticipated death the moment glasses girl lost her shit but one accomplished rape and one attempted rape too? I gotta give it to them. But I also gotta admit if anything happens to Shinkan Idk if I'd bear with it. |
| Well that was an edge-lord's wet dream. Can't say I enjoyed any of it except the parts where the literally little fucker goblins and their children get massacred. That was pretty satisfying. I guess I'm just not in the mood for mindless violence (don't mean to sound insulting), but I'll give this one more ep. |
| I need sleep. |
| I cant watch this. Its too much. What a nonsense episode 1. But I'm sure it will be better later, so maybe I'll wait till its done. AS of now, on hold.  |
 |
| It wasn't as intense as I expected it to be but good start. I hope they keep it up at this level |
| The closer you get to the light,the greater your shadow becomes. |
| Another one here that came to this without knowing anything and got shocked. The first thing I thought was that it could be like a 'konosuba serious version', so I couldn't believe what I was seeing 7 minutes after. However, I'm giving it a try, hoping there is a decent story behind this sequence of gruesome scenes. |
Moe_VII said: First time commenting here. But watching that, I didn't get past the cave part, it's just senseless violence and rape. It one of the rare types of anime which I hate. And I hate I even watched that far into it. Probably the worst anime this season. why it was senseless? the point of that scene is showing that overconfidence kills, goblins are wretched creatures, and goblins are actually underrated that nobody takes them seriously. do you hate it because it's not a harem isekai where the coward MC got all the girls but never actually use their onahole? |
| The way he walked in like a badass was. ...............,´¯`, .........,´¯`,..../ ....../¯/.../..../ ..../../.../..../..,-----, ../../.../....//´...........`. ./../.../..../......../´¯\....\ ('.('..('....('.......|.....'._.' .\....................`\.../´...) ...\.....................V...../ .....\........................./ .......`•...................•´ ..........|.................| ........βββββββββ ........βββββββββ |
| Well, that was really something I can understand why some people might hate it, but I thought the episode is well-made and it hooked me Not because of the gore or anything like that, but I think this has potential and I like the impression so far it seems that the story and the characters have some weight/substance |
| This show is pretty much just a SoL anime with an over-the-top dark setting. Just based on the manga, the story goes nowhere beside explaining MC's backstory and meeting new friend. Every times it's just MC went to a dungeon, kill goblin, and that's it. Unless there's something i missed from the LN and there's some kind of plausible conclusion of how MC can kill every goblin or any ending that makes sense, then yeah, this show is just a SoL anime. |

| Great first episode. I was kind of looking for an anime where there is a "regular" fantasy settings with races and quests.. but far more realistic than most anime I found, aka with gore and rape xD The shock amount of this episode is damn high. I love it. Really exciting and looking forward to next episodes. |

Natsuki_Hyundai said: The manga is worth reading just for the art alone: ...So the manga's no different from the LN. Got it. I don't know if not having those stupid chill scenes is a better idea though... I enjoyed a whopping ONE of those scenes from the LN... Well I might as well invoke the Three Episode Test for this since I'm going to be going to Disney the day after Ep 3 airs anyway. Also, you mentioning reminded me of a certain scene and it gave me a good laugh. Thanks for that lol dunno if it's the same the one you meant tho |

theeffword said: Oh spare me. It wasn't all that graphic. Worse has been on TV for the last 60 years, Movies for 100 years, Operas for 200 years, Plays for 3000 years, and myths since they were created. Were you recently hatched from a crybaby machine?I had absolutely no prior experience with the source material, other than that it’s intense. The second the other three party members showed up, I expected them to be ambushed or something and killed in the first raid. I did not expect one of them to be raped. NoviSun said: A-K-A said: The crybabies were sure out in force yesterday.

They held back. Are we really to believe you've never seen a TV show, or a movie? I can easily believe you've never picked up a book and read it. But, keep up the feigned tears of outrage, I think they're funny. PS: I like how you started your whine with blasphemy. Nice touch!My fucking god. I walked in not knowing ANYTHING about this series.

FiraDeviant said: bastek66 said: I just hope there won't be any pretentious overthinkers (especially from YT) that will try to convice anime-only that there is some depth. There is none. Goblin Slayer is just a Doom guy and selfinsert for watchers. Just more autistic over killing goblins.  Quite the opposite actually. they are all bashing the show for daring to show something like sexual violance. >> Soon they will get bored because there won't be any rape anymore. |

| I heard it was some edgy series with rape and I got about what I expected. Meh. |

I think you might have missed "Goblin Slayer Gaiden: Year One" I read it already. That's the "MC's backstory" i mentioned which in my opinion shouldn't even be a spin off in the first place. Just say that his whole family are brutally raped by the Goblin and he's gone batshit crazy after seeing the whole "action" without able to do anything. |

redcobra said: MrMushin said: I respect your opinion, this is just mine. I never experienced Gantz but I did experience Berserk and the 90's tv adaption is actually one of my favorite shows. Like I said, it's not that the violence made me feel uncomfortable because it's violence, it's only that there was absolutely no reason for there to be so much violence basing on the first episode, Berserk has violence because the tragedy, that's why it makes sense, it has Guts, Griffith and Casca's characters explored and fully revealed through the climax tragedy, and for a tragedy like that to be effective, violence is necessary. In Goblin Slayer, they literally have random characters the audience simply do not care about get violated, I didn't feel nothing while watching it happens, that's what I meant and that's why I do not agree at all that it "fits perfectly". Like, do you really enjoy violence shows, just because they have violence? Sorry, but that I really can't understand. I am not going to drop it, it's no like I hate it or something, in my original post I said that I liked some stuff about this episode, it's just that the series is overall a bit questionable for me. basing on the first episode of course. The main character when he still kid his village got massacred by goblin and he the only one survive What the hell dude, why did you tell me that??? That's a huge spoiler. Wtf is wrong with you? I never said I wanted to know. I said BASED ON THE FIRST EPISODE. LoomyTheBrew said: MrMushin said: I respect your opinion, this is just mine.

It's to set the tone my dude. Not every death has to have meaning. This show is about slaying goblins and the brutality of the world, this is not as complex as Berserk and it doesn't have to be. Not every violent show has to have some deep under lying themes, sometimes it's fun to watch a show that's just brutal with high intensity action that isn't that deep. That's part of the appeal. Could be, might will be for me too. But I think I maybe need more episodes to feel that, I guess. epidemia78 said: MrMushin said: I respect your opinion, this is just mine.

The deaths and torment of the overconfident band of adventurers tells you a lot about the world these characters live in and that the threat the goblins present is underestimated by the adventurers guild. That's why I said based on the first episode, this could be the case but I will know its worth only in the upcoming episodes. KaeUBW said: MrMushin said: I respect your opinion, this is just mine.

Ok i understand you now. What you're saying is very reasonable and i agree with the Berserk part of your post too. As for your question...YES i do like some titles just because they have violence, gore, nudity and stuff like that. I can guarantee to you that i'm not the only one who likes stuff like that. You said you can't understand something like that, but think about this...you have Clannad: After Story as one of your favorite animes...isn't it because of all the drama and sad stuff that happens there? (just to be clear I like the first Clannad and I like drama too) People watch drama or romance because they want drama or romance, people watch comedy because they want a comedy so in the same way people watch violent stuff because they want to see violence. This is not that strange when you really think about it. I'm reading Dead Tube just because how much violence and nudity it has. It's fun to see that too. The story is strange and sometimes dumb...to say the least, but i still read everything translated just because the violence kept me going. I understand that people watch a show with high amount of violence because they want to watch high amount of violence, I am the same, I read a visual novel called Subahibi when I knew it has high amount of uncomfortable sexual scenes and horror madness (denpa) and I loved it, but there is an incredibly wide difference between watching something like Berserk and watching something like Ousama game. Both are shows with high amount of gore but I think it's obvious which one is more beloved because it's simply better. The same for Clannad, I love it because it did the drama/romance (and a lot of other stuff) fantastically, that's why I have Clannad as one of my favorite shows and not any other romance/drama show. |
