Wait, how does Elf Archer got surprised about GS face? Didn't she saw his face during the Virgin Ritual?

OMG. I remember when I talked to a friend, and I always complained about how Goblin Slayer was below my expectations ... But that ending was really beautiful, when he takes off his helmet, the OST fits perfectly and then everyone starts to see the side more human of the GS. Really beautiful, the end was worth it.

It doesn't have the most gripping storyline but I really appreciate what they did with what they have. Still don't know why this gets a lot of hate when there's nothing wrong with it.

Good thing:
Good fighting scene gory uncensored good tactics too

Bad things:
Awful character design
Shitty fan service
Useless cast i mean every one of them except the main character
Shitty harem pattern

It Was ok i suppose,the only think i liked of this anime Was the "feeling" of partnership along the caracters. Once of muy favorito scenes Was the one of the campfire. That Was pretty gay xd

The fight between Goblin Slayer is not as epic as it should've been, but nevertheless, the Goblin Lord has fallen. That creative use of protection spell was so simple yet so effective in that situation!

Goblin Slayer wanted to be a real adventurer huh... That might open a path for him to defeat other beings besides goblins, such as I don't know... DRAGONS?!

Dammit, why won't Goblin Slayer's face be fully revealed?! Well, there's probably many fan art of his face that may look accurate enough to satisfy my curiosity.
Everyone' reaction to Goblin Slayer removing his helmet was hilarious! Especially that spear dude! The overall reaction from this after-battle-feast with fellow adventurers felt so cheerful and active, I love that!


Goblin Slayer is quite surprisingly very enjoyable to watch. The story and characters are actually really plain, but its OST is quite nice and the animation is alright. Though I may not have read the manga, I am aware of the CHANGES and that's all completely White Fox's fault...

Goblin Slayer will return... Hmmmn... It is quite rare to see a confirmed next season for any show... Well, okay!

Mostly standard fantasy action stuff, with some slightly darker tones to it. That's about what one should expect going into it though.

An interesting part about the show for me is the fact that the usual task of saving the world is treated like an obvious side thing. "Yea of course the Hero defeats the Demon Lord and Saves The World! That's how it goes right?". That's what you get in your average fantasy JRPG. You don't tend to think about the NPCs all around "living" in that world. But those guys technically have some real shit to deal with and it's not always going to be about some big bad demon lord.

Only one question left unanswered: Was there ever anyone who tried to cast protection in a way so that it intersects with, say, a goblin? And what happens it you do.

Guess thats technically two questions..

Well that sure was quite the lovely ending actually, quite an intense fight and good wrap up of what little this anime actually had to tell. The intensiveness in both action and realism in this still RPG like world was still quite interesting to see.

Can understand completely the various controversies this anime had, but in general what bothered me the most was not the lack of story, but more of the swift switched between CGI and regular art. In the end I got a bit used to it but combine that with like one episode being real dark and the other being a very big breather just made it also a bit wonky in my opinion.

Still pretty lovely watch and still a whole lot of room for expansion but not really needed in anyway either so a half open ending like this is quite lovely, but I still will look forwards to the sequel as they announced it in the epilogue.

All in all I sure had a good watch!

I was disappointed they never showed his face there at the end, all that build up and then just kidding here have a half face view.

Overall, this was a very solid darker fantasy series. Felt like they needed much more than 12 eps to make any more meaningful development.

I've finally finished one of the most controversial shows of 2018. The show has a lot of storytelling problems, but I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy. I loved the action and just how much happiness this show made me fell. Especially, the later episodes. Even though, this show is generic and has a sorta bland story, I will be watching season 2.


I give Goblin Slayer a 6.5/10

Admit it people. This show only got popular because it wasn’t afraid to show graphic
pretty sure it got popular because people overreacted over the 5 second rape scene like if it was super important or overshadowed the other things in the show


I decided to finally watch it since it finally ended not long ago and was expecting much more out of the rape scene. It was exactly what digi said "It wasn't even good rape". Literally 5 seconds of nothing and people lost their minds over it.

Talk about anticlimactic, everyone should read the manga if you're a fan of GS because this part is much better there. This was so weak. The Goblin Lord much better in the manga, this battle was executed poorly.

Well, that is the end of this garbage, good riddance. Lucky Conception and My Writer My Sister aired alongside it or else it would take home the "worst anime of the season" award.

In a few months, it will be forgotten.

I agree the story was bland especially with regards to characters but I disagree with the plot being generic, furthermore I don't their was any problematic with narrative with regards to bad writing.

It opened really good, but kinda plotted downward from there. I was expecting a lot more of a horror thriller after that first couple of episodes but it seems it just wasn't meant to be. I guess to put it another way, by the end of the show it felt like i was watching an MMO esque story like Grimgar or Sword Art rather than the Attack on Titan feeling i got from the start.

Was also disappointed with the animation, they did not do themselves any favors with using CGI as they did. It's either gotta take some kind of laziness or horrible deadlines to draw in some scenes and CGI others.

It is beyond me to understand the criticism this shit's receiving... it's not particularly complex or deep but it does what it does exceedingly well. I'm probably tremendously overrating this, but I lost count of the number of times this show gave me goosebumps or brought tears to my eyes, and my feelings don't care about your facts conservatards. It was a breath of fresh air in anime's second most stale genre.

I enjoyed a majority of the show. I know some people only had their attention drawn because of the first goblin rape scene? So i didn't expect much in this thread.

Overall he was a shy, shadow that knew what he wanted to do in the world. Everyone was out doing other various quest and he found it better to kill goblins because of his horrid childhood and i could't blame him for that.

He faced a lot of tough enemies and actually got hurt more than i thought he would. Everything worked out in the end and even changed his perspective making him want to become an adventurer. Not a terrible series for me.

I'd actually give the second season a chance if he focused more on GS as a person.

Just Admit Goblin Slayer is just schlock and nothing than that.I am inclined to believe that fans of this loathsome schlock have perverse fetishes and are unable to resist their urges. Perhaps they delude themselves into thinking that this is more high-brow than your typical Hentai whereas it is not.

After reading some of the reviews I was a bit skeptical but after watching all 12 episodes I enjoyed this show. I like how the show doesn't focus on demon lord vs hero like other fantasy anime. Instead it's about the characters in background whom we usually tend to ignore. Still I wish the characters have actual names instead of race or classes for names.

Damn, still didn't show us the whole face. But if I had to guess I'd say GS is an albino going by his pale hair and pasty skin. He probably really has red eyes that glow when he's angry and he must be good looking with all the fangirling he caused in the guild.
I'm quite satisfied with how this season ended. Looks like he's starting to make peace with his past. Wonder what his real name is?

Wonder if it's actually getting season 2. Well, off to read the manga, since everyone claimed it was vastly superior and I enjoyed the anime. I don't get the hate for it.

Oh, and is there a reason we don't get to see his full face? I get that he's one of those "eyes always shadowed" characters but it seems odd we don't get to see what everyone on screen is seeing. It felt like they were going to do a full face reveal for the audience but then decided nah.

They showed his eyes in the flashback where he watched his sister get raped to death. I don't recall if they were red. I think they were pink/purple, like his hair. Albino don't have purple hair...
