We got ourselves a little arc here. Anyway, that water town reminds me of that water based city from Tales of Zestiria which also has a underground/ big ass sewer level

The series is improving, but the hints/references/shots of rape every episode are an eye-roll. I couldn't care less about rape being in the anime overall, I'm not offended by it, but jeez, you don't need to remind us of it every episode. It's as if rape is a selling point of this series huh.....
Still stuck on rape, are we? Eyes roll.


Congrats on completely missing my point and just picking on words. I said i'm not offended by it, but the fact that it's somehow implemented into every episode makes it seem as if the author really is trying to attract as much controversy from SJWs and the like as possible to up the numbers of the series

This legendary sword maiden (from what the manga provides) is one of the strongest humans and has the 'hots' for the protagonist (totally not empowerment fantasy/harem). She slept naked with him while he was also naked with the loli. Also naked in the same bed to activate a healing magic they barely needed. Because magic spells always require a perverted condition so they can be activated. And not only that but she also had wet dreams about him. I 'respect' her even more for her complexity and her being the embodiment of one of the greatest heroes this anime has to offer...oh wait, turns out she is just here fan service, just like every other girl in this pathetic anime.


What a complete shit show! Dark and mature? This series was closer to kawaii anime troupe slice-of-life, betraying every grimdark theme the show tries so hard to establish. This is an edge lord wet dream! Action? It was basic, the CGI is atrocious and choreography is boring.

"It was a nice touch with Maiden being a representation of justice; blindfolded, holding a sword with the handle area being a weighing scale."

^^ She's dressed like a whore and has big massive tits! This is one of the worst anime in years!

It means that you were baited by memes and never understood what GS is all about.

You should add a spoiler tag to the quoted part, I think.

Doing this and simply moving on would require common sense, something he is apparently incapable of.

He has been hating on the anime since day one. Now that all of his "criticism" has been refuted, he has to resort to being petty.

Also, I don't know why the Priestess is called a loli. Akatsuki from Log Horizon can be called a loli, but Priestess looks like a normal 15 year old in my opinion.

I like how Priestess and High Elf Archer gave Goblin Slayer a talking to. Being so blunt with Sword Maiden probably earned him a lesson from her too. But I like that about him.

The sewer combat was nice. The appearance of the alligator gave me Resident Evil 2 flashbacks.

Can anyone tell me why that elf & the priest prohibit goblin slayer to not using water, fire, & poison?


The Water Town is built on an old sewer system. Using fire or diverting water to drown goblins maybe catastrophic since there's no knowing how much the sewer can withstand and may in turn sink the town above. Using poison is a big No No since the poison might find its way to the water source.

You see Goblin Slayer suffered from tunnel vision when it comes to goblins, and Elf find cheesing your encounter with enemy to be not so adventure-ish, so yeah...


Thank for the explanation

Meh Sword Maiden got nerfed hard, she looks so harmless and stupid, the complete opposite of the manga where just on the fact the way she holds her sword in the whole convo looks so badass already, and she hardly has any lines coz she actually just replies to them, in the anime she's so talkative and her clothes are so SFW ugh I hate this fucking anime

certainly love the sword maiden arc but,.. why the goblin king arc was skipped?

is it white fox studio's plan to postpone the goblin king arc in the end so the instensity keeps piling up or they're just gonna really remove the arc? if so I'm really disappointed

because the goblin arc is best part from GS so far

I'm not gonna spoil the story though, but you guys who hasnt read the LN or the Manga version, then you should

At last best girl Sword Maiden appeared, i don't really mind they are doing this arc first i mean as i thought and like others have said the farm raid would be a good ending for the 12th episode, i wish Goblin Slayer was weekly though so we could have more content for the main story, i know we have the spin offs for more story but still oh well pretty good episode overall.

You know this is a light novel and was never intended to be focused on the western audience.
The original novel is not even descriptive about rape (but yes about gore).

The author just want to write a fantasy novel about a Goblin Slayer... nothing else.

New mission, Temple of Law and Sword Maiden. GS answered to Sword Maiden's petition and he and his group went there to see what's going on. As the Sword Maiden explained, there's an infestation of goblins that is coming from the ruins under the city, but the army of the city doesn't want to get involved. They started their exploration and spent some time defeating goblins when they got attacked by a goblin boat. The party managed to defeat it and discovered that there's a kind of alligator living there, so they used it to destroy some others goblin boats. They got out of there but GS is thoughtful about the natural or possibly artificial goblin generation.

Very interesting episode, I expected some action in here and kind of got it. The goblin infestation is affecting a city here, so the problem is more urgent, but there's this strange feeling when the city army doesn't want to get involved and why. Some cool action scenes and discoverments. Finally GS is thinking if the goblins are being artifically generated. It looks that there's an ogre down there.

GS is very directly straight to the point and no fvcks/sh!ts given!
awesome party battle! another great teamwork!
OST is insanely EPIC as well! so hype!
LOL an Alligator (swamp dragon!?) and lured to the goblin boats was a great plan! it's a slaughterfield!!!
of course, someone is leading the goblins... easy prediction! i wonder if its another ogre or a different kind of beast!?
5/5.

In the first episode i thought it was going to be the edgiest thing ever made with lots of gratuitous gore and forced shocking scenes.
By the third, i thought it was going to be a more serious show all about a guy that went kinda crazy and obsessed after a traumatic experience (i was very much cool with that).
Now its... fun times killing goblins.
Its all over the place but still good i guess.
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably.

I believe they had to tone it down for the anime, cause the manga is the real deal. Not to mention they have to try to compact everything in just 12 episodes sadly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

No. From the looks of it, they probably are saving it as the finale.


I don't think we can make any assumptions about what the finale will be just yet. I mean they pulled a side story a later volume and used it as the main storyline for the fifth episode.

Tension buildup in the second half was quite good.
Action itself wasn't, but we knew that already.

Not liking the elf girl tbh, feels like a token addition yet isn't treated that way. Neither am I liking Naobou's voice here, this could be the first time I'm liking Yui's acting better than Naobou's

That was fast, we're already that deep into the next arc, it looks like it's all action, and by the way, the animation was spectacular, no, just fantastic, I guess they are putting that budget to good use.
I wonder if the dude and girl from the last episode are going to be any vital to the story, they've got plenty of screen time already, you could get at least an episode and a half if you were to glue the bits together.
The legendary maiden didn't take that long to appear, I hope we get introduced to more of them, probably the story about that hero at the beginning was referring to one of them?
Something makes me think there is going to be more ranks than I think they are, we're been hinted as though silvers are the top tier, and then here are the gold ranked adventures, I suppose those are all legendary? I'm expecting something even higher, a diamond or a platinum rank.

No subject matter is off-limits in storytelling. Artists should be allowed to tell the stories they want the way they want to.

Yeah it's attracting attention. It's currently the most popular anime on Crunchyroll in a number of countries. In other words, it's doing a good job.

fuck yeah what an episode. gimme that One Piece goblin parody boys.

The party chemistry is roughly the highlight of the show: every character in the group has a unique role, both in and out of combat, in terms of character chemistry & personality, strategy, skills (naturally), and even degrees of variation in moral alignment -- what's with this having to convince Goblin Slayer to adhere to ethical genocide standards? I loved watching the way the party interacted fighting the goblin pirates.

FUCKING GOBLIN PIRATES, MY DUDES.

Man why did Black Clover get an endless adaptation which Goblin Slayer is stuck with 12 episodes.
