From the amount of times he checked the surroundings, I just knew the episode was gonna end like that.

Remember when the Sword Maiden arc began, and all the manga readers were complaining and freaking out about them skipping a really good arc? Yeah, and like I assumed at the time, they rearranged events to do the arc later. This is why it's important to be patient and wait to see what they do with the adaptation instead of assuming they cut it out completely (unless it's Tokyo Ghoul, for that you can assume skipped shit probably won't be revisited later on lol).
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.

Do people not look at the episode count at all ??? Seems like a big forshadowing and with only 2 episodes to go they are either gonna cut that battle way short or just end on a massive cliffhanger

Really interesting way to go to the last part, the cowgirl is terrified by the fact that it will all end some day, it sure is scary thinking about it.

Woohoo! Glad they're saving the best part for the finale.

As far as the episode is concerned, it was a pretty alright filler, seeing the GS bonding with everyone.

Someone on reddit pointed this out but I couldn't agree with it more. There's a lot of contrast between the Hero and Goblin Slayer, how GS could've been the Hero had his hatred of goblins not consumed him, leading him to his repetitive life of slaying goblins all the time, checking on the farm's defenses. Compared with the Hero, who gets all the fame for killing a Dragon / the Demon Lord. GS lives quite the tragic life...

But who am I kidding, he has his own harem

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!

Well,that was a nice episode,calming,tranquil,right up until the scene with Farmgirl bathing,and the image of her on the bed in the moonlight.That was really,really nice,then at the very end,loads of bloody kiddy footprints,shedloads of them,so while GS has been doing his rounds,the local kids have come to mess with his head.Bloody hooligans.I think those little gits should be thrown to the goblins :)

Yeah, what I said is a little misleading, to clarify; due to the nature of this world the demon lord (if it's the main villain) needs to be reinforced by tropes of destruction otherwise its presence is downplayed and doesn't seem as much of a big bad villain... I've not played dragon quest but that aspect would make it a bit of a downer for me.

Looks like the arc they skipped will be what they are finishing on just like everyone thought. Imo this is a really good way to end the season. Slow episode but I still enjoyed it. This is the calm before the storm.

I get what you are trying to say, but I think is just that the town where Goblin Slayer lives is not being attacked by the demonlords, but other villages are not so lucky.

Usually in Dragon Quest, the world is in danger and the townspeople talk about it, but the world is not destroyed yet and you can find several villages living peacefully (There are exceptions).
So, you (Yuusha/Hero) will have to prevent the tragedy.

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.

I mean.... i liked the episode but the previous and this one was a lot of slice of life genre into it which... it doesnt fit. But as a slice of life fun i dont really have a problem! I'm curious about the next episode .... the ending showed a lot of goblin footsteps in the yard interesting !!!

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.

to be honest today's 2 shows seems to have swapped. SAO-Alicization was all rape and gore for plot exposition with a plot twist in the episode, while GS was: hey let's have a slice of life episode but let's end it with a bunch of death flags

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

Among one of the (if not the) dullest episode so far.

Funny, Filling characters are way more appealing than the main cast. Goblin Slayer is sure a very unique anime XD

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!
