| Everyone complaining about it being generic, LOL...as if there was anything truly original being shown this season. Goblin Slayer is a good old fashioned vigilante in a single minded quest for revenge. It's all about killing them goblins and that's fine with me. I hope he stays that way and we get no character development whatsoever. |

| I like Goblin Slayer's new party. The elf girl is cute (and those movements she makes with her very long ears are adorable), and the dwarf and the lizardman are pretty cool dudes as well (you cannot go wrong with Nakamura and Sugita after all). Pretty excited for the raid on the ruins. |

| Dang , that was some archery shit that , that High Elf did, that which could sure use some fanservice. |
| Other than the end, this episode was pretty decent. The director seems to hate using background music in the series. |
 |
| The party casually strolling in at the end was cool and banter between the elf and dwarf was fun. I expect some nice goblin action next week. |
| White fox is doing a good job with this adaptation, the only thing I don't like are the occasional CGI usages. It's weird, clunky and feels out of place. The VA's for the crew are spot on, down to earth and chill episode |

HaXXspetten said: I'm still wondering if the whole anime is only going to be about slaying goblins or not, because if it is then it's going to be difficult maintaining some sort of freshness to the narrative in the long run. New characters is a good start but we'll see how long they can make it last He already hinted at bigger problems with the mention of Heroes and Kings in the Goblin world. |
| I really enjoy episodes like this with the crew just chilling and sharing some quality time. Poor GS he is just too awkward about anything non goblin related, everyone thinks he is an idiot but when Goblin is the subject then becomes the biggest goblin otaku that will ever exist. It broke my heart when he was talking about the moon, it sounds like the ultimate children tale that he took as 100% true because he really loved his sister : ( |
| Why are they switching to 3d models at random times? It makes no sense. Do elves and dwarfs always need to be rivals? I think it's stupid. In my opinion, only LOTR did a good job with it. Every other elf-dwarf-rivalry needs a Tolkien kick. The boob bounce was unnecessary. Does she have a rat hidden inside? When the protagonist stared at her breasts, I understood that the woman was supposed to have erotic appeal. The gratuitous bouncing wasn't needed. This type of story, especially, doesn't need it. Goblin Slayer doesn't take off his helmet because he might get hit in the head, and become unconscious. That is a flawed reason. If you get hit in the head with a helmet on, you can still lose consciousness. Even if you don't faint, you will lose your thinking ability for a while, and that is enough to get you killed. The protagonist put a blanket over Goblin Slayer, who is wearing full plate armour, with mail (and probably gambeson as well) underneath, and sitting in front of a fire. That is not how you show affection! I feel like this story would have been so much more interesting if they removed the unnecessary fan service and replaced the moe girls with older women, who look like they have been (or can be) toughened by battle. And, maybe do some research on armours? |
+1 I really liked that too, another example of it that came to mind from Gaikotsu Kishi-sama: This warmed my heart. I loved how GS fell asleep all of a sudden, the Priestess noticed it, and then put the blanket over him. (Making him look even more like a Dark Souls character.)  |

| I thought we won't see dead goblins for whole episode. Good we got some in this last scene. Not much but still something. |
| Finally the Best Girl ("Long Ears") has made her appearance. PROTECC the Anvil. |
| goblin slayer only talking about goblins makes him seem so autistic lol |
 |
| Really loving Goblin Slayers dry sense of humor (if you can call it that) |
| Light-hearted this time around. I liked this. Now shit's about to get lit with the Expendables. Jk |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| So now that the party is finally together this anime will be even better! I liked the episode overall, the ending scene was epic, does anyone know the song they used when they were about to enter the cave? Dat dobule kill tho |
 |
| welp that was an introduction episode for the new characters.. pretty uninteresting to be honest. The characters seem boring as fuck besides maybe the elf girl. |
Gildesh said: This warmed my heart. I loved how GS fell asleep all of a sudden, the Priestess noticed it, and then put the blanket over him. (Making him look even more like a Dark Souls character.) Yeah, right? I liked this too, like "there is just a big dork inside, who loved his sister." |
| Boring character building episode. |
 |
Sure it isn't a witch? My first thought was Blair from Soul Eater, but that would require more, "nyaa"s. And the way she said accompany, I was all:  |
|
| Goblin Slayer really doesn't do that good of a job with character development so I can see why people are complaining about the ep. I still think it's better than not having any though. Bad attempts at characterization will always beat just plain old one dimensional nobodies (aka episode 1). But don't worry, Goblin murder will resume shortly. |
| Drunk elf girl was cute! We get introduced to some different races in this world. An Elf, a Dwarf and a Lizardman. Together with Goblin Slayer and the Priestess, they will slay some goblins. Merely a build up episode today. Atleast there's quite some diversity in this team. Overall, Ok episode to be honest. |
 |
| The elf girl sure got familiar fast with goblin slayer, she's one 2000 year old busy body. I like Goblin slayer he's a cool guy who only has boundaries when it comes to goblins, he sure doesn't compromise there. But I like the new team and I hope not a single member will die. I want to see what's under that helmet soon. |

| This might be my favorite episode This show actually surprised me when it calms down,builds the world and the characters The characters' interaction are What sold me on this episode, i already am emotionally attached to them and the racist between elves and dwarves is exactly What i needed, reminds me of DA Origins Wait, the use of dice in this episode, with the OP using dices as symbolism, could mean that the show is actually based on DnD or Old-school RPGs Cool i love DnD AwesomeAlfie27 is surprised |
| May our sweet and Merciful Madoka be with you |
| So, a group of three adventurers appeared looking for the goblin slayer, the thing is that there's a demon army prepared to invade the world and the goblins are part of that. They want to recruit him to finish them. At the same time, Onna is having a talk with that magician woman about the goblin slayer and an anchient parchment. After that, they all start their journey, have a small dinner talking about themselves and the next morning, the hunt begins. Personally, I'm not disliking at all this series, the show is entertaining and exciting. At the begining, I thought that the new characters introductions was kind of bad, but fortunately, they had this dinner scene about character development. I don't know, for a moment, I thought that the main character was going to be the invincible and graceless, but, it looks like the character could be exploded with a lot of potential, he could have an excellent backstory. |

| So basically, the world of GS is literally a game of DnD being played by 'gods'? Guess the gods all made up stereotype characters. I like how the party finally introduces us to how dangerous other creatures can actually be, but goblin slayer doesn't care. I also liked how they all had myths about where goblins come from. Makes it feel more fantasy-ish. Also everyone sharing food was a nice calm moment. Apart from the first episode, the show doesn't really seem that dark. Priestess is pretty moe and I don't see her or goblin slayer dying anytime soon. |
 |
| Was that witch supposed to be hot or something? The way she talks is cringey as fuck. |
| "He's silver, but all he does is slay goblins. Silvers would usually go for bigger prey than that." Hey! You know how hard it is to farm Dash Extracts? I'd literally hire a silver rank just to get me Dash Extracts! Doesn't clean his weapons to hide the scent of metal...that's some thinking... Ooh dang, Goblin Slayer is even willing to take on Goblin Lords/Kings which are equivalent to Platinum-level adventurers... "You received a quest, right?" "Yes. Slaying Goblins." Lol sounds like the Terminator. "Goblins come from the green moon to get what they don't have." "My older sister never made mistakes." Squall is that you? And the guitar kicks in. RAPE AND TEAR! |

HereticHunter said: Does the Elf girl die anytime soon? she's obnoxious as fuck. That aside seems like next week is going to be packed with Action... nyihui said: is it just me, or the character feel really one dimensional and kind of stiff They are one dimensional as fuck. Specially the elf girl who is the most annoying of the group. I was wondering if that was the point though. They don't even get names. It's just Goblin Slayer, Priestess, High Elf, etc. |
FuMomo-kun said: Too difficult to constantly animate GS's armor.Why are they switching to 3d models at random times? It makes no sense. Do elves and dwarfs always need to be rivals? I think it's stupid. In my opinion, only LOTR did a good job with it. Every other elf-dwarf-rivalry needs a Tolkien kick. There are a few winks to LOTR in the series. This being one of them. It becomes more obvious later on that the author is a fan of Tolkien.Goblin Slayer doesn't take off his helmet because he might get hit in the head, and become unconscious. That is a flawed reason. If you get hit in the head with a helmet on, you can still lose consciousness. Even if you don't faint, you will lose your thinking ability for a while, and that is enough to get you killed. Yes, you can still lose consciousness, but the risk of that is reduced when wearing a helmet. Isn't that the whole point of armor in general? |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| The lizardman and the dwarf are good guys. The elf no, I don't like her. Well, nothing surprising. |
| this was a build-up episode also that Sorceress is so hot |
 |
| The laid-back of the 3 episodes, but yet creates the atmosphere for future episodes to follow. AND FINALLY THE WHOLE PARTY'S GATHERED! The Half Elf, Dwarf and the Lizardman make their appearances, and though the interactions with them aren't the greatest, they're most certainly one formidable team. So of all the 3 episodes, it's more toned down and down-to-earth but yet at least the fanbase isn't kicking this monstrosity out of the dust yet. |
 |
| you know shits going down when the squad just walks cassually to the goblins den |
| Yeah the best girl of the series has arrived. Got to know more about the world building and a little bit of the history. Also Elf girls archery is as amazing as I saw in the manga. The strongest team is here. Overall,nice episode. |
 |
| Goblin Slayer on his first priority, skips the details, then asked if there's goblin. xD That sorceress looks hawt. I wonder if she'll joined the party later. Bon fire dinner. Looking forward for next episode, fight as a party. |
 |
| Oh i miss his older sister dearly. Brings me so much pain and sorrow. |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
