Well, they are not planning to ever make a sequel with a clusterfuck of writing like that, that's for sure. There was no reason to change the order of the events (on the contrary since some things don't and won't make much sense) but filler, dumb hero cut ins and mixing in bits from the future parts make it even worse when they skip actual good stuff for that. This anime turned into shit after the first episode but at least it got me into good manga and decent LN, so I guess it still has more of a reason for existence than most botched adaptations...

-
but the arc they are gonna adapt now it's fit for a perfect sseason ending.

So they decide to switch the order of the arc, but well it works so I think it's fine. This episode is just a chill and relaxing episode but is still an important episode for the next one.

Hopefully they make a good adaptation for the last arc.

Fairly laid back episode but it was real nice to watch.

Finally got more Guild Girl screentime. <3

Loved that drinking contest between Elf and the Dwarf. Need more drunk Elf. <3

Wait, what was that at the end? Goblin footprints? Is this gonna be that arc everyone mentioned they originally skipped or is this actually the next arc after the Sword Maiden one according to the manga.
Yup, its definately the Farm Battle arc! Can’t wait to see it and I’m hyped!

The battle's probably gonna be stretched out for 2 whole episodes like usual in most single cour anime. which occurs after the slice of life episode such as this.

Once again White Fox doing a really good job for slice of life moments like they did in episode 8 (the duel between who's can handle the most wine between HEA and Dwarf was quite funny). But they fail so horribly at adapting dark and dramatic moments of Goblin Slayer.

I know it's adapting the Light Novel and not the manga but when you see how the shot are composed they clearly use the manga as a storyboard, no one can deny it.

But please ! Tell me what was the point between showing naked Cow girl washing herself and not


It's not that much of a problem but still without those kind important scenes the episode feels empty and makes no progress in the story, you just see goblins footsteps so it could be any random attack like they were before, it's not the first time he fought hordes of goblins.

Anyway it was still enjoyable, 3,5/5

Cow Girl raised a point I've been thinking about since around Ep. 2 - what happens when Goblin Slayer can longer slay goblins? shouldn't he be training people and educating them about the danger of goblins? also, seriously, since characters in this franchise are named for their profession/race, if Goblin Slayer stops slaying goblins, does he become Disgruntled Old Man?

Recaps are often use to stall the viewers while the team works on the episode. Makes me think that White Fox is going to go all out on the last 2 episodes so they’re using this recap to get more time.

There's only 10 platinum-ranked adventurers? Wow...it must be tough to obtain that title...

"Higher probability of crushing goblins in a party." Lol. And Goblin Slayer is making Cow Girl walk!

A calmer episode celebrating the defeat of the Demon Lord. But Goblin Slayer just found a whole bunch of footprints on the ground in the last scene...The goblin slaying will never end!

A group of heroes defeated the demon king. GS is in his way back to the town when he remembers when he and cow girl where kids and she went to the city; he had a sister and lived in a town/farm (don’t really know). GS’s day off, he checks the farm and go to the town with cow girl, he goes for his armor and watches other warriors training while she delivers some packages, GS encounters his party at the guild (receives sword maiden card) and is invited along cow girl to eat with them. Back in the farm he reads the card which says that the demon king has been defeated so there could be a sensation of peace, then he spent time with cow girl and the next day he does his routine check, he finds goblins footprints.

Relaxed episode, about fixing armors and chilling a bit, I mean, necessary for everyone. As GS said, demon king’s defeat doesn’t mean goblins will stop. I got a bit confused when cow girl started to think about the future, we don’t know her really well to empathize with her thoughts about the future, I don’t know her past or the kind of relation she has with GS. I know that she is very worried for him, but I don’t know why, I think it should be explained the importance of her in our main character’s life. Oh, yeah, the final scene is impressive, the mythic arc is going to start, please, don’t touch cow girl, thanks.

There was an excellent reason to change the order, farm battle is much better ending then anything from volume 2. They didn't miss any good stuff. "Some things won't make much sense" - there are no any inconsistencies, everything is fine.

They covered first two volumes very well, there are 8 of them now plus side story. Volume 3 events are not affected in any way. If they ever want to continue, nothing is stopping them, definitely not problems with writing. If anything, writing follows LNs too well, the whole Sword Maiden mess deserved to be fixed.

"Botched adaptation?" Huge rock you are living under seems to obstruct your view, this is the most popular anime of the season.

What is this fan service?!?! Omg it's one of the worst and most boring episodes with dull dialogue for me. Goblin Slayer anime is great in premise, but it's let me down by the second half. Down voted 7/10 for me. Next week is recap day until episode 1 to 10, so sadly that the real next episode (EP11) is until 22nd December in Hong Kong time 23:30 (UTC+8).

3/10 for me.

@idontknowsarcasm Not really.
Also, dropping the line from the Water City "because I am Goblin Slayer" and leaving the faff afterwards for the credits roll would make for a perfect season ending.

@FreezePeach Look above and just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good. Sure, with a dreary season like that and lack of actual fantasy shows (fucking isekai infestation), let alone something a bit darker or serious, GS anime looks pretty decent but if you look at it objectively, it's not a good show. Even worse when you check the manga and see how awesome it could be if someone competent got his hands on the production.

The episode may seem boring, but there are important points here:
1. first few minutes showing the hero trying to defeat the demon lord
2. next along the episode we see how people kind of celebrate the defeat of the demon lord. It's not explicit but kinda implied with how the adventurers taking a relaxing day, and having a party at night.
3. Important part here: assumption that the defeat of the demon lord means less monster, which equal to more safety.
4. Goblin slayer not agreeing with point 3, shown by the repeat of the scene of him examining the perimeter of the farm (the scene is repeated 3 times, which shows how he does not decrease his vigilance against goblin threat)
5. last scene, footprints around the farm. Means goblin slayer vigilance is correct and it paid off. and it also becomes the indicator for the next arc.

So, while overall the episode looks like a boring and filter episode, there are actually some pretty awesome things. I also haven't mentioned about GS and his relationship with other people shown in this episode (blacksmith, paladin girl, heavy swordman).

I like this episode. There're so many pretty girls around goblin slayer. And it's a good series to self-insert since goblin slayer face is never shown. Also that female knight look really beautiful. I am really looking forward to see her boobs.

i though the same thing when i saw it!


Same here. I'm glad there are others who noticed the close similarity between the two. =)

This episode was very chill and relaxing, but at the same time, it was still enjoyable. Just seeing the casual conversations that Goblin Slayer and his group were having with his childhood friend and the guild lady at the feast was pretty nice.

And I can't forget the amusing alcohol battle between the Elf and the Dwarf. The Elf, bless her, was stubborn and valiant, but she just couldn't beat the Dwarf in the end. ^_^

However, going by the Cow Girl's unsettled monologue near the end of the episode, Goblin Slayer's usual checks on the farm meant that he knows that goblins have been around, going by the shape of their footsteps in the dirt. As such, this episode was the calm before the storm.

It looks like the arc that was skipped earlier will now be the arc that'll finish the show's run. I do hope it's as good as the manga readers are making it out to be. =3

When they say demon lord, I imagine a world on the brink of destruction but things seemed to be fine here... Unless demon lords are just a high class mob that you rarely find -as well as being upon its own. Anyway...
Great, he's got a harem way to go. Love it.
But. WTF. Goblin tracks right at the end of the episode, nah why you gotta be ending it like that? I wanna know what is happening!
Can't wait for next week, loved this episode but I clicked "Hated it" by accident. Episode 11 cannot come any sooner

So because Demon Lord exist somewhere the sun should stop shine, people should stop eat, drink and sleep and everyone must go around talking about how bad their life is?

Look at IRL, somewhere people fighting or dying in pain right now, but I dont think that is stopping you from your daily routine.

Looks like they made some minor changes in comparison to the manga, seemingly for no real reason other than to maybe stretch out this episode for the next major arc in the next episode. I personally think they could have cut this whole episode down to 5 minutes, take out all the needless new scenes like cowgirl wiping herself down or the drinking game, and use all that extra time for the next arc for action sequences.

Calm and relaxing episode!

It's funny when GS goes through city without his helmet, a few number of people knows him!

GS's relationship got a little of development, and didn't expect CowGirl and Recceprionist to join with their party at lunch!

The other recceptionist reaction to GS's harem was funny!

Female knight paladin look truly beautiful!

Drink competicion between elf and dwarf was funny aswell!

Footprints at the end, it smells of problems!

Priestess likely didn't see his face yet. Anyway, neither of these are even remotely important. These are minor details, adaptation not supposed to be exact. And "perfect season ending" - well, that's just your opinion. Nothing perfect about it, it is abrupt and weird.

Antanaru said:

Actually, in this particular case it does. Anime is not made for you personally. No one in the world cares if you think that adaptation is botched or writing is bad as long as anime gets good ratings and sells well. Just because you think something is bad doesn't mean it's bad.

Antanaru said:

Dude, you don't understand what the word "objectively" means. Look it up, it will blow your mind. In particular, your opinion about anything is not "objective" in any shape or form by definition of the word. "Someone competent" - they are doing fine job, objectively, as in "show undeniably has high ratings regardless of what Antanaru thinks about it." Not trying to please you personally doesn't make them incompetent.
