| A nice episode overall. We got to see more characters being introduced. The meal part with the banter was fun to watch. The elf showed off her skill with that double kill. |

| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| What the fuck is this? Where's the rape? Lol but seriously I'm glad they're branching out. Sure Goblin Slayer will still hunt goblins but at the very least we have the idea of a demon lord in the table. |
 |
| Decent, the introduction of the party. I thought the VA for the sorceress was really weird, the voice does really feel like it, but the timing or syncing, that was awkward. |
 |
| So a calm before the storm and good episode overall. The characters are entertaining too. Next episode will be epic, I hope the animation will improve. |
   smell of coffee songs of sleep  |
| Probably the best episode so far, still not overly impressed though. |
| Finally a light hearted episode with no dark stuffs. Yousei Yunde, Tokage Souryo and Kouhito Doushi were introduced. A bit of character development was done too. Last scene, where Yousei shot two goblins with a single arrow and they started to walk towards the goblin nest looked badass. |
 |
| Another seasonal waifu lol The Lizard and Dwarf are pretty funny. |
OneManMob said: Blue_Reaper said: then one piece is the most improper written anime in all time. come on this thing is a legit trope, it's meant to be entertaining. she's not the only hundred years old girl who act like a nine year old girl in anime history. While you do have a point, I feel the need to point out that one piece's tone and setting is wildly different, and that GS takes itself way more seriously than OP does nah, the only serious thing about Goblin Slayer is when he start killing goblins. outside that this anime is actually pretty comical. |

What i think it the problem was... the weird pauses she does when she... speaks. Those pauses break the flow of the conversation and make it sound a little weird most likely. OneManMob said: how could a single fire arrow set the whole tree from ep 2 on fire in seconds? GS is a D&D campaign made into [instert japanese medium here] so obviously he rolled a natural 20 /s |
| Sorceress is super thicc. Gotta complement the thiccness with a sexy voice, right? Seems like the party is formed, and they’re ready to storm the nest. |
 |
Yes, it is. Just need to watch the intro of this episode. |
 |
| "Hey let's eat and have fun" Goblin Slayer: "gObLiNs.. This dude hates Goblins to death LMAO. |

What type of degeneracy did I just read You do realize I’m being ironic and joking here. I hope you are also. |
|
I think he was joking, but it pretty much is, the dice stuff, the way spells work, and the goblins who come from the Green Moon kek. |
| Speaking slowly seems uncharacteristic for a witch class. It'd make sense if it made her spells more powerful. Otherwise, she's just a burden to the party if her spell casting takes twice as long as the average witch class. As for the elf, she should've taken pride in not drinking alcohol for 2000+yrs. Why end the streak just because a dwarf looked down on you for it. She hasn't eaten meat, and that never stopped her from only eating veggies. |
| Give me at least 5 minutes to modify my post before quoting me. (refreshing page advised) |
| Looks like next episode is gonna be action packed! |

on 
| Loves the episode. Loved the part where the guy got cut off haha. = Guy:"Miss Receptionist!" Slayer: "Goblins" Guy: ಠ_ಠ |
SNDT said: Mekiah said: The new mage/witch lady is hands down the most obnoxious character to have on screen opening her mouth. Really hope they don't bring her back too often. So little is said given how long she spent talking, and the slowness of her speech doesn't add any value. There are much better ways to go about adding mystery/seductiveness without drawing out her lines to take twice as long to say. wow wow dude, this is the way mysterious and sexy girl should talk and that's is how she speak (on the manga) with many pause (or bubble talk) so i think they do quite a good job transferring that into an actual voiced character |
| I love Goblin Slayer and all, but sometimes, I feel that they don't need to cramp all that fan-service. I mean, the other episode, we really didn't need all those "cow girl" naked scenes. A single would've been enough to get the point across that she's... well, "thicc". I don't want them to remove fan-service. However, I feel that a random shot at a naked girl, multiple times, throughout an episode is really not needed. |

| Bad episode only two goblins died xD |
FuMomo-kun said: Different races can have some sort of animosity or rivalry....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. FuMomo-kun said: She's a seductress who happens to use magic so I'm not surprised if she's using some type of spell to make her more noticeable. She even admitted using powerful spells just for mundane task e.g lighting a pipe.he 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. FuMomo-kun said: He's been observed by some to have some sort of autism so I'll give him a pass for that. He could also be hiding who he really is.oblin 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. FuMomo-kun said: It's the thought that counts. An extra layer won't hurt.he 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! FuMomo-kun said: This is an anime of course so there will be cute drawings of girls. Even the source material dictates it. If this was directed by a feminist you'll get what you're expecting and the series would fail miserably. Robust older women in anime = fail.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? |

And, maybe do some research on armours? Elves and Dwarves being rivals is done too much. It's kind of boring by now. It may not be so boring if this is your first time seeing it. I am okay with seductive women with big breasts, but they don't need to bounce, defying Physics, for no reason in a serious genre like this. In a fan service anime, I don't care how much they bounce. I can tell it was supposed to be sweet when the protagonist put a blanket on Goblin Slayer, but the writers could have thought of something smarter. Blanket on armour is kind of funny. By older women, I mean women in their twenties or late teens, who are older if you were to compare them to the child protagonist. I am not saying they should remove cute girls. It's just that those girls don't need moe designs as that is normally used in cute slice of life or harem genres. Even if the source material had one kind of design, I think the anime is allowed to change it to fit the story better. Also, if a character lives in a world where they can die any moment, the design needs to match that. (Like Historia from Snk. She's cute and weak, but not moe and colourful.) I think Evangelion and Code Geass do a better job with balancing fan service, cute characters and a dramatic story. I hate mecha genre, but I fell in love with those two animes. |

Hekselka said: I love Goblin Slayer's weird social behavior. Guy has been so busy killing goblins that he can't hold a discussion with Priestess. He doesn't social skills because he didn't spend time socializing. He probably understand goblins more than humans. |
I need you guys, who are desperately in love with this holy anime, tell me what's this scene trying to communicate? I am an uncultured swine, struggling to find the meaning of life in this beautiful world of Goblin Slayer. Please, enlighten me. EDIT: After finishing the episode properly, I found 5 shots similar to image above. I also noticed some minor stuff that nobody would probably care about. Such as poor directing, awful writing, and uninteresting dialogue. I mean, most people won't notice that most of the shots are just boring pan and zoom, and incompetence use of camera angle. |

| Except for the useless and unrealistic witch and the always-bad-CGI of GS's armor, I kinda enjoyed that episode And I like the new characters introduced, especially the lizard man |

| And now the big tits witch gave me a boner. Hope she gives more speeches in that husky voice. |
   |
| This quite enjoying episode. I like Goblin slayers personality overally but I hope creators expand his personality besides just slaying goblins. I also like the lizard priest and High elf as they are my next favourites characters. It seems Goblin slayers only hate goblins if Its not goblins he is either killing or confronting. he is quite approachable,civil and can form convertable conversation with people. He is not even jerkass,cruel,Arrogant or any of that. I liking this main character hope they explore more of him than just him killing goblins. Haha Ainz and Goblin slayers are my favourites type Isekai main characters. Hope Isekai anime produce more of this type of characters |
| So the Witch was a master of fire magic, hence she could waste a relatively powerfull spell on lighting her kiseru. Master Chief Doomguy Goblin Slayer is known for lighting unreasonably large fires to burn goblin dens. That means the scroll is something like this below right? Meanwhile Cowgirl has got enough flags waving above her head to hold a rally at Neurenberg. |

| I've just realized, the voice acting in this anime are not good. The point I get from this ep is Goblin Slayer is a bit autistic I guess? Decent episode |
| Nectar of the Gods! God I love Sugita's voice acting |

Levi_Ackerman_10 said: Haha Ainz and Goblin slayers are my favourites type Isekai main characters. Hope Isekai anime produce more of this type of characters Isekai refer to a series where someone get transported to another world, by far everyone seems to have born in the same world so it's not an isekai |

| Did I hear Aoi Yukki's voice in the begging of the episodes during the God stuff narration? She's not listed in the voice actresses for this show, here or on other sites nor does she say she voices this show in her twitter feed. If its true maybe she will voice a character, maybe a female goblin if it exists, would be cool. |
