"Manga readers are annoying, all they do is complain or spoil the anime we discuss in an anime forum.

Also why dont you do yourself a favour and drop it?


To answer both of your questions:

A lot of people are confused by this episode. The order of events is different but all of this crap did originally happen and it's going to be a running theme.

As for why I haven't dropped it, it's not bad enough. This might be one of the worst anime I've ever experienced, however it isn't one of the worst things I have ever experienced. I'd rather rewatch this than- say- reread The Fault in our Stars.

same opinion but for me it's REEEEEE:zero

This episode feels very calm but I like it. Also, the cockroaches were creepy.

The receptionist fell in love with Goblin Slayer xD. That's funny.

Nice "calm" episode but is it true that they skipped a lot of things including "that" battle? I hope they are not totaly ommiting that...

Also did someone notice at one moment the giant rats were making the same noises than the goblins?

Honestly I thought ep.5 was a bit weak, especially if compared to the previous 4.
I like the idea that WF is willing to do their own thing and not do a frame by frame copy of LN or manga, and I like the idea of how they meshed some of the downtimes from different points in the LN with the daily life of the low-level rookies.
But script & writing definitely took a back seat this round, with the rookie pulling out a “people die when they are killed” -kind of line there; or that totally out place boob-pouch with the witch-lady, it's a pity that they left out some character development to make place for less meaningful interactions.
I actually think that switching the goblin raid arc with the Sword Maiden arc is a good thing for the season conclusion, it will require WF to change some details to avoid contradictions or spoilers.

I'm late to the party so I'm sure plenty of people might've said this already:

I don't think they are skipping the Goblin raid arc. It's probably going to be used as the final arc of this Anime, because its shock value is much higher than the Sword Maiden arc.

Even if they did skip it, I will judge the Anime for what it is. If I wanted exactly what was in the Manga/LN, I would read those. I'm totally fine with changes here and there.

Lol this topic.

The end of the first novel is better for the end of the anime, so they'll show that arc.

And there's nothing "anime original" there. Read the novel, and not the manga adaptation.

I'm thinking they're saving the village raid for the last two episodes. It'll be madness if they skip the arguably best part of the manga that shows the GS's character development.

Ok as a fan of the manga, this ep was just bad. The whole journey with the newbs was anime original, they pretty much shoved the promotional ch from much later in between, cut a lot of bonding time with cow girl, and seem to be rushing straight to the sword maiden arc that’s currently running. If that’s the case, they’re skipping my favorite part of the manga so far: the village defense with the guild.
you saw how people reacted to the first episode, they must alot of balls to be willing to animated that arc.

Finally caught up.

Episodes feel long when watching them, which is usually a sign that I am not too immersed, unfortunately. But at least episodes 2-5 were much better in the aspect that they didn't feel like their script was trying to hammer something into me like a broken clockwork anymore, which really annoyed me about the first half of episode 1. Also it reminds me of those days I used to play "The One Ring" Table-Top game. Curse that one time I was casually scouting the river and just happened to roll a critical failure which instantly resulted in a monster attack.

All-in-all, up until episode 5, Goblin Slayer is a solid 7/10 for me. But I never score a series until the season ends or until I decide to stall/drop it.

Even as some1 who loves the manga, i can safely say that Gs is a great series.We havent gotten into the meat of the story yet.Next 7 episodes are going to be action packed with little breaks.I am sure your score will rise as well

As an anime-only, to me it looked like some kind of skill/ability that simulates the success-chance of an attack. In TTRPG terms it would be like getting a "test run" of a certain move, including dice roll and all, and getting to see what the direct consequences in that test run are - then you can decide whether to try it for real (with another dice roll that might be better, same as, or worse than the test run). Something like that? At least that's what it felt like to me.

Thats actually a nice interpretation.Basically the thief was about to attack the girl but because Gs is so menacing and intimidating, the thief chickened out.Gs attacking him happened only in his mind.

So what's her name? Witch girl? Sorceress tits?
kek

I've been trying to define her class for awhile. She's got a pointy hat and pipe, that's usually wizard stuff. Also goblin slayer asked her to identify a scroll, which tells me she has a high intelligence attribute and can learn scrolls. Though she does not dress modestly and speaks slowly which isn't wizard stuff. It's more in line with charisma based classes like sorceress or witch. She also could have cast a spell or used a magic item to identify or read a scroll. The way she dresses is very reminiscent of a typical slutty witch you see on halloween. It might be an allusion to blair from souleater considering the characters similarities. She also carries candles, which is usually witch related stuff for pacts with devils.


She didn't identify the scroll; Goblin Slayer paid her to create a magic scroll for him.

Ermh no, she just linked the scroll to the bottom of the sea. She can't create scroll, especially since that gate magic is lost magic.

A slower episode, more like a breather....

The guild girl was really savage when she was talking to the adventurer and she has a crush on goblin Slayer.

Seems like we'll get some action next episode and will also see the Sword Maiden.

I like to think she used her social network as a spell caster, and her charisma to get a male wizard to identify it. Seems more her style. Probably got most of her magic items that way too.

Though, it brings up the obvious question, how do you link/reverse lost magic without knowing the lost magic or how that lost magic works? Makes more sense to me that someone just identifies what a scroll does, and the scroll just worked based on casters will.

I'll answer briefly since it's a bit explained in the novel. The scroll was obtained by the Goblin Slayer from the Blacksmith of the guild. Basically GS pays a lot that dude so that when he find a scroll he put it away for him.

The magic "gate" itself is lost but applicated on a scroll it can be used by anyone and make a link can be done by a capable Sorceress. It's like when you use a computer, maybe you know how to use it but not how to build one (ok it was a stupid analogy but something like that)

A thought just came to me. So Goblin Slayer is currently on the highest rank of adventurers right? Kinda like Adamantite class in Overlord. Does that mean he achieved that by only dealing with goblins? Holy shit he's probably killed hundreds of thoudands of them.

No, in Overlord ADamantite is a legend, but Silver rank in GS is just Rank 3.
Prcelain > Obsidian > Steel > Saphire > Emerald >Ruby> Bronze >Silver, > Gold > Platinum

Platinum is the equivalent to Adamantite in overlord.
There are only 16 heroes as platinum rank in that world.

no, he's silver, it's 3rd highest rank.
but yes, he did kill so many goblins to rank up, he can get to that rank bc he beat upper level goblins.
but he will never rank up further if he didn't kill any other monster beside goblins.

it's a bit incomparable to Overlord though. A party of gold level adventurers in GS can beat demon lord.

Mostly because Silver ranked are somewhat the best around normally. They are the peak you can aspire to be if you are a normal guy or maybe a little above normal. So yes, if you are silver in that world they treat you with respect and you are basically an hero more or less.

Hoever, Gold are slightly more common than platinum but deal with threat that are beyond a normal human possibilty. They have amazing talents and are without a question heroes on a national level. The party that defeated the Demon Lord was gold rank for example.

Platinum are those odd entities that come across every few centuries. They are born lucky and are overpowered as hell. 16 have been this rank in all the history and there is only one alive at the time of GS.

I don't read the manga, so it's the next arc long enough to last 7 episodes more or there are a lot of arcs that could be animated next?

Because if not I don't get why so many people are scared about that arc not getting animated.

Again I don't know how much content there is out to be animated.

It’s enough for 3-4 episodes.
If they really save village arc for the last, i believe there will be more filler epsiodes after this arc.
People are getting freaked because that arc is cool and important for GS character dev.

The good thing is that it makes the secondary characters less anonymous, of useless has that describes what everyone has clearly understood for centuries: that all the girls feel love for the Stoic. Not useless as an episode, but not even essential.
