| Not much time of actual goblin slaying :( |

| First episode starting of strong. Zero bad things about, aside of the annoying kid. Maybe some drastic personality change might make the kid tolerable, otherwise he'll hopefully disappear soon. |
| . |
| The single sentence tie-in to the movie was a great way to handle that. |
 |
| I like how they low key flash back to opening eps. Globlin Slayer is here, and he gonna killa golblins!! |

| I tried to do a water drink game every time the word Goblin was said. I give up half way... Jokes aside, it was a fine start, but i hate when they put action off screen .-. |
| It was a good start tbh. |
 |
| Ugh the boy is so annoying. I'm so glad this show is back. Goblin Slayer talks a lot more now and I love hearing Umehara's voice. |

ugh that caster is so annoying
| @ztlpa He was just as annoying in the manga as well. |

| Let's gooo, goblin kino is back! It's great that the second season is finally on. It was so cool to see all those characters again, haha. Both the main party and other adventurers who had been introduced in the first season. Solid episode, though I wish the opening was better. The weakest point of it was that rookie caster. He was annoying as heck. I'd prefer to see that halfling adventurer from the beginning joining Goblin Slayer's crew, instead of that brat.

| A solid start let's see whee they go with this. I am interested as the ending of this episode was a very interesting. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| intinya ceritanya membasmi goblin udh gitu aja |

| Really finding it hard to empathize with the new character, the brat tsundere types are the worst... Harry Potter out here tryna slay goblins |

| Absolutely no need to reprise "that scene". Pretty bland first episode IMO. |
 |
| I'm not sure how I felt about that, it was nice to see all the characters again but it felt kind of like it took a few steps back from where we'd gotten too at the end of last season. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| GS S2 here we goooo!!! i wonder if there's a Goblin word could for this first ep?? hehe an annoying wizard huh...that sucks! 5/5. |
 |
| It's nice to see the silver rank gang back. Goblin slayer is still just as professional as ever. Still slaying goblins like the badass that he is. Priestess seems to be at plateau in her rankings. Until high elf archer suggested the idea of doing quests with obsidian and porcelain adventurers to climb through the ranks. That red haired rookie is really annoying and serves as a hindrance to the group. I hope he doesn't last long slaying goblins with that punk ass attitude of his. Goblin slayer should've not let him rest at his barn. |

I guess the audience needed a re-introduction to all of the characters after 5 years. I re-watched the first season and the movie right before this, so it was all fresh in my mind and it made this episode feel slow in comparison. We'll see how it all goes from here.
Also lol:

| @StewedBeefHaunch Goblin Slayer is now canon to the Fate universe. You can't argue otherwise. |

Alternatively, it becomes more difficult to nitpick something like a masterpiece because even the flaws are seen as contributing to the overall quality of the media." -Paraphrasing Mauler |
| Glad to see this show back, liked it to bits back in 2018. Not a huge fan of the new brat but hopefully he won't drag things down moving forward. I wonder if he's related to the wizard girl from the first episode of season one. |
 Leave your limits. |
| idk how i felt about that ending but the kid doesn't seem so bad; i bet he has his own reasons. i think this is a chance to advance both characters. i'm still disturbed by some of the imagery but it is important to the story; i just wish they would tone down the rapey stuff. |
 |
| This dweeb ass kid a bitch frfr. Hope he gets ran on by some goblins. On the positive side, that MILK went great with my oreos. |
 |
| 5 year wait for that episode 1 is crazy, but getting the wizard kid arc out the way is good |
| hello hello |

New studio animation is garbage, looks like some stereotypical trash isekai that is rated 5 or under. I know that they skipped stuff that was in the manga in the first season, but adding in a bunch of dialogue to the start of the second season that doesn't exist is cringe. I love Goblin Slayer so this is disappointing. Imagine wasting an entire episode on just dialogue with no goblin slaying 💀 What is up with trash anime studios taking on a good series & running the animation into the ground e.g Seven Deadly Sins, One Punch Man etc
| @Remrin I wholeheartedly agree to this. The new studio really dropped the art quality by way too much, if this keeps going I am going to lose so much motivation to continue watching this s2, it's so disappointing. The plot isn't as strong or exciting as s1 too, right now many things from this ep tell me the anime probably won't end up well... it's sad. For the better or worse, I just finished watching the movie a few weeks ago, the disappointment from s2 is just super clear to me right now |

| dropped. This is one of my least favorite chapters in the manga, and combined with the new "looks" of the characters with bad animation. It's not really worth watching. fastest drop of the season. |

Jesus, they started with recapping that infamous first few minutes of the first season lol.. and that too in almost its entirety. I mean there’s no need, after all we still have that thing engraved in the deepest part of our memories lol.
Though back to the second season, and the familiar faces are back too. Good for Miss Priest, she’s now living her second year as the life of an adventurer, but I hate to break it to you, you’d still do the same goblin slaying even going forward. I mean not even Goblin Slayer's first proper appearance, and the gang literally went for goblin hunting straight away lol. Eat, Sleep, Slay goblins and repeat… as always.
That one thing you should do if you want any sort of help out of goblin slayer is… accepting you wanna hunt goblins too. He’d absolutely not forsake you lol, as seen when he helped that glasses dude. Though that dude does have a bit of an attitude problem, I hope he learns quick slaying goblins ain’t some small feat as he makes it out to be. Anyways, pairing with Goblin slayer and gang next time… that dude… with miss priest leading the party.
Studio might have changed, but atleast they’re making sure the PROPORTIONS still should look as right as they used to( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Cow-girl<3

The recap… is that why I’ve seen people saying it’s got an traumatising start to season 2 or have they added another scene like this?😅 imma have to skip the recap coz fook watching that shit again lol

At first, this seams like a stupid and unnecessary decision on the studio's part. Anime onlys don't know it yet that the recap is related to the new character and there's a little bit of logic behind the studios decision. |

| Thats cus anime onlies are usually dumb and buildup goes past their brains. We can already infer why they recapped the S1 first episode from what S2 first episode showed. |
| Keep scrolling |
| I guess the new mage has some sort of plot armor, because with that attitude he will be dead in two episodes. Overall, I liked the episode, though I didn't see the reason for the reenactment of the most controversial scene from this series. |

| ah yess it's back after 5 years? damn. Ngl i was a bit worried about the studio changed from White Fox to LIDENFILMS, but it looks good to me. oh wow they got Killua VA. WE SLAYING GOBLINS AGAIN!! |
 |
| "Are you his wife?" "Well, yeah." "No." I loved this exchange rofl. I'm happy to see this show finally back but pretty weak first episode. The kid is annoying af. |
 |
| That wizard brat doesn't know what's he's talking about. Everyone in the guild calling him out was pretty much telling him If you fuck around, you'll find out because everybody there experienced how terrifying goblins could get if they organize. Anyways... It's nice for GS to be back. I'm just gonna miss the color tones and lighting effects the previous studio utilized. Everything done by this current studio looks vividly outlined with bright colors conveying serious and dramatic scenes would be difficult. |
