| Great epsiode! Sound Department, all the varying soundtracks that played, really excelled in this episode and was an amazing and top-tier company to have. Personally, I enjoyed the first ost most which played during the 5th minute of the episode or so when the Goblin Slayer was expressing his confusion and worry regarding the absence of a goblin shaman, but the battle osts that played during the intense fight/goblin slaughter and the more relaxing and calming one at the end were all magnificent! Action scenes were really entertaining and gripping too despite the constant use of CGI for the Goblin Slayer’s movements. Animation and just the tensed atmosphere of the episode were glorious! Goblin Slayer once again shows why he is the boss when it comes to dealing with Goblins, taking the opposite path to which the Dwarf suggested in order to visit their wasteland(I’m assuming he knew that there’d be a hostage there too). Damn, that scene where everyone(including I) thought that Goblin Slayer was going to kill the elf though, I definitely didn’t expect that little Goblin to come charging out of the blue. Elf-chan, meanwhile, had a really traumatic experience in this episode and lost herself there while trying to slaughter all those KO’d goblins but it’s good to see her regain herself by the end of the episode. Priestess’s save there against the Ogre really shows her confidence in her ability now and that’s nice to see. Goblin Slayer sure is a great tactician and a stubborn but thoughtful leader. Really enjoyed how he outsmarted the Ogre there and claimed Goblins to be much more troublesome before finishing off the Ogre, it made his character so much more badass. It just makes me think that the elf-chan’s adventure wish is not for Gonlin Slayer as he’s now more or less a lost cause. What a nice welcome home in the end there though. Looking forward to the next episode now! |

They kinda grew on me, especially at the end when the Elf girl mentioned what adventuring meant to her and how she wanted to take GS on a real adventure that's thrilling and exciting and not just bloody massacre work ... We all know Orcbolg never intended to go on adventures in the first place. He exterminates under the title of adventurer. He'll do anything if it helps him complete his single minded mission. Other than that, everyone filled their MVP quota. Elf with first kill(s) and traps, Priestess' last resort protection, Lizard increasing their man power, Dwarf ... tag teaming with Priestess I guess. He was able to pinpoint where the nest was, but GS just had them go the opposite direction anyway. He indirectly saved the captive elf in a sense. No need to mention our MC's achievements here. I'm actually worried word of his accomplishments will lead him into more trouble. |

| great episode Priestess used 4 spell instead of 3, I guess she's really grown up (idk if it's permanent limit cap or ?) can't wait for the Goblin Lord battle & meat shield |
Vanschia said: great episode Priestess used 4 spell instead of 3, I guess she's really grown up (idk if it's permanent limit cap or ?) can't wait for the Goblin Lord battle & meat shield No her limit is 3 atm, she says it herself : "I just used Heal, so that leaves two", but notice how she became super weak and almost fainted after the 4th spell. |
| A nice hunt. The elf archer is quite emotional for someone her age. |
| Too bad that we didn't get see Ogre rape and a potential goosh goosh 2.0. Good episode nonetheless since we were back to business. |

Vanschia said: great episode Priestess used 4 spell instead of 3, I guess she's really grown up (idk if it's permanent limit cap or ?) can't wait for the Goblin Lord battle & meat shield She cast past her limit. It gets mentioned briefly in the LN's and the manga, but she risks killing herself by doing so. In the face of that fireball, definitely a necessary risk, though I wish the anime elaborated on it a little more or made things look a little bit more high-risk for her. Some bleeding from the nose/eyes would've been a great visual touch to convey what was going on; as it was, I only know what happened there because I've read the LN. |

| Do elfs consider the lenght of 1 year to be less than what humans consider the lenght of 1 year to be?cause best girl aka elf girl sure didn't experience shit during those "2000" years looking at the ways she reacted and acted during this epsiode Anw it was a decent episode i guess 3/5 |

|
| So the fight ended with an anti-climax, barely-animated secret move. It's pretty bad. The manga was much better in conveying the intensity of that scene. An action anime without decent animation. What's the appeal of this series? Just rape and "gore"? |
 |
| Pretty good episode, filled with a lot of goblin-slaying action. It was cool to see each member of this group showcase their abilities, and I didn't expect GS to pull out that scroll that he used to kill the Ogre (then again, there didn't seem to be any other way to beat him). That was an awesome-looking technique. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Will we still see different types of enemies like the ogre? Or was it just an exception? That really would make the series more interesting uwu |
 |
| what kind of person who has an idea to teleport a fucking seawater under the sea? Goblin Slayer it is. it would look dope though if he release the teleport right where the goblin are sleeping and then just drown them all from the top. great episode, Goblin Slayer knew he can’t handle that alone, and everyone had their roles, especially Dwarf and Priestess with sleeping combo, and her double layered protection. cast limit is the shit you know, harsh stuff. when Goblin Slayer ask you to bath in a blood of a goblin, i feel that.  imagine the smell. |

| Well this was a better episode than last one. High Elf got her shit altogether, at least she's more bearable now.

I know she says in one point that she rather have an adventurous life rather than what she just went through, but its still suspicious. Bad writing I guess. |

| Pretty good episode, the battle was cool even though the animation was't the greatest At the end Goblin Slayer was really badass charging agaist the ogre with the scroll Hope this anime will keep getting better |
| Finally some stronger and different enemies that face Goblin Slayer. |
 |
| This anime has some dark prospects, and the slight comic relief seems good. But today's episode though, I actually thought that dwarf was going to pull off some kage-bun shin-no Jutsu... That wasn't the case however, I'm liking the way they use spells in this anime -that dwarf especially, it was reminiscent of earth-bending. For a second I thought the goblin slayer would just be like, "eh, it's not a goblin. I'm out" but it ended up building up towards home using that scroll -which they were explicitly implying so... Can't wait for next week |

| Not sure how much of the feeling this anime is lacklustre comes from spoiling myself by reading manga and how much from poor production values. First episode was good but afterwards there's no proper flow. I have no idea what is in the novels but anime is also skipping some significant details you can find in the manga like what HEA said in the wagon. Or wet Priestess... Oh ye, and how in the hell they were making sounds under Silence... |

| And a action episode with a lot of blood, and with the atrocities that goblins always do! Really awesome episode, we could see the abilities from lizard and dwarf, lizard summon was cool and useful, i am glad to see that Onna is confidend about what she is capable of. So we get introduced how ogres are in that world, they looked really powerfull, he got defeated really fast, so the scroll was a powerfull trick to destroy a goblin nest, but unfortunately was "desperdiced in a mere ogre less powerfull than goblins" by Goblin Slayer's words! Btw, i am wondering where the girls have cleaned their clothes! XD |

Considering the fort itself is quite ancient, maybe the surface of the stone pillar (heck we don't even know its material) was weathered enough for it to produce dent with impact with plate armour. Still it's not as dramatic as some Shounen where the character literally crumbles layers of walls and yet managed to stand right up. Just my 2 cents. |

| Elf lady must have been hiding in Elfsville for 2000 years by the way she's reacting to what's surrounding her. Doesn't seem very experienced to me. |

| Loved Priestess dead eyes in the beginning and GS closing in on Elf girl from behind was priceless ^^ Priestess chan really improved and I like how they all worked together. GS wrecking the ogre was dope. |
 |
| Good episode, in enjoying the series so far. I am concerned that the characters in particular Goblin Slayer is limited by the whole premise of the show. There's only so much you can do with hack and slash. |
| I really need an mp3 of that metal song that plays during action scenes |
| First boss conquered gg gslayer |
| I like how they made this anime for the slowest thinkers in existence - After already pointing out the connection of the scrolls, MC-san and Witch-kun, they had to rub it in again. They really know their target audience. Overall, GS remains as shallow as I suspected. Nothing wrong with it, but beeing violent and dark and having literally nothing else makes you kinda edgy. I dont want to call it pretentious, as it is consistent. That beeing said, I would enjoy this a lot more of everyone were on equal terms - Its like everyone else is playing a different game, a generic RPG, while MC kun is the only one with a fully interactable world. (As in "oh my gosh! hes so special, he actually uses fire to smoke them out and he knows how to drown puppies" - smoking out nests is basic.) PS: Is it me or did the quality drop since EP1?

I get that having elves beeing older than trees while at the same time beeing naive as fuck is a common stereotype, found in sci fi as well, but atleast they usually dont assume beeing fuck old equals any kind of wisdom. |

Yes, the animation quality dropped a lot, They even had a CG Goblin Slayer doing nothing on last episode xD. |

| respect for goblin slayer once more... the guy is hardcore and really hard to understand still I have a lot of respect for him |
