I'm indifferent about this, because I really love Yato and like Holo very much too. They are both very old, but also a little bit teasy and in Yato's case childish side. But I love them, because they have this completely different side to them as well. They have a set of mature and kinda cynical opinions and a more serious to even darker (for Yato) personality.

I would be disappointed, if the high elf will be childish fanservice and nothing more troughout the whole story. That would be unbelievable. Even if their life span is longer, they experience the same things in 20, 50+ years like a human.
Tho, maybe she actually does have a different side and will show it somewhere in the next episodes.

Well, she’s a silver ranked, so of course she has serious mode and contribute as main damage dealer for the party. You need to define what childish attitude do you mean since GS didn’t have useless joker on his party, but outside the quest their personality will revert back to default.

That ending was badass! The elf girl hit all three mobs at once omg o.o

I'm hoping these three will become permanent to his party.

This turned into Fellowship of the Ring pretty quick.

Three episodes in and it is clear that the series is not worth the amount of threads which have been created because of it by now.
Not because it's bad (it is not good either tbh), but because there's not much to it. There's Goblin Slayer. He kills goblins. Plus some gore here and there. Fair enough.

And as long as the show can keep this lackluster story fresh with each episode (which it did for me up to that point), I'm cool with the rest of the episodes.

The elf girl is cute and I lowkey ship her with dwarf
Goblin slayer himself is somewhat bad at communications and interactions with other people
The CGI is pretty good and I care for the characters
Hopefully they dont kill elf girl or the other two

The party is full, the harem's size just increased and it looks like next episode will feature a lot of goblins being killed.

Whenever the Slayer becomes CG, I'm kind of taken aback but it doesn't bother me too much. Curious to see if the witch girl will have a bigger role eventually.

Entertaining as usual, and people still complain as usual.
However one-dimensional Goblin Slayer is, that's the point. He's just the Goblin Slayer. And surprisingly, there aren't many characters like him.

I still really like the chemistry between the Elf and the Dwarf. The line about dwarf women being voluptuous caught me off guard, haha.

Its weird. You'd think Dwarves would appreciate girls with Anvils for a chest more.

Not in most Fantasy settings. Elves are usually noted for being extremely sheltered, so naturally they experience less of life and get less life experience before they leave their home.

Besides, humans dont even experience the same things in 20/50 years that a human does. Peoples experiences and mental age levels vary extremely.

That said, its not that she's childish. She's just Tsundere. :p

oh, this was positively delightful. The character interactions are so quaint and precious -- that campfire scene felt a great deal like a group of roleplayers shooting the shit around a kitchen table -- and I'm really liking this motley crew. You tabletop RPG atmosphere is tangible.

I can see complaints being levied at the eponymous Goblin Slayer for being stiff as morning wood but I find myself digging that about him so far. He's strictly one-dimensional, yet in an idiosyncratic way that, ironically, gives him depth. And his cardboard personality makes his chemistry with the elf fucking hilarious.

Speaking of, the elf is lovely. Cute, snarky, yet restrained. Potential waifu?

Great episode, a lot of worldbuilding with historical and mythical references to their world, and them saying that there are realms out there for different races only makes it bigger, I'm really digging this.
I like the metaphor they linked the Goblin with, and also their hypothesized origin. I really love the diversity they have in their new party, I hope they always remain as one, they literally couldn't look any more invincible compared to anyone else we've seen.
That witch is obviously up to something, or at least knows some crucial information, could even be an impersonation of some demon.
Looks like out priestess is getting closer to the Goblin Slayer, I don't know how I feel about that, I mean, I really prefer the other farm girl.

Where is the THOT SLAYER when you need one??? That witch(?) is THICC tho...

The dwarf is a savage! He sure roasted the elf well regarding her breast size! Classic

An odd party has been formed, so far they seem to be interesting characters, their interaction with each other and how Goblin Slayer reacts to them are hilarious!

I'm calling it! The High Elf Archer used AIMBOT for that trickshot with her bow and arrows!

2000 is not too much for a High Elf, you can't judge by a human mindset.

Also... 2000 years of experience... living on a forest without contact with the outside world. High elves are famous for despising other cultures considered barbaric.


Seriously, just because something has a longer life span doesn't mean they don't learn shit and act like children for 2000 years.

This is just delusional.

Just because a higher being can live for 1 million years, they could be intelligent after a few hundred years. They don't have to act like baby because the world is constantly changing despite their age. Proportion of age means literally nothing.

Just because their life expectancy is 10k doesn't mean their 2k mental age is equivalent to a 12~20 year old human.(1/5 of human) This is bad writing and highly assumptious without any base of reality.

As far as know, most of those fantasy setting have elves having mind-set and intelligence equivalent to human even when they're 20. They don't function like retards/ babies until 2k age. They don't age after a certain point (pretty early actually), but they become mature / have mature body well when they're at 0.1% of their life expectancy. (They don't stay as baby for 100+ years, which is around 1-year-old according to age scale of 10k )

They have functional mind and ability to make judgement as young as when they're at 0.1% of their life expectancy , meaning the scale of their age does not scale like what you said. There's a gap of 1980 years that're not accounted for according to this ignorant elf.

Ara-ara the party is formed and each of them has their own individualism

Elf-Girl, The Dwarf, and The Lizardman

quite peculiar where goblins came from by Goblin Slayer's perspective which is the moon which makes sense though that It's green.

I'm kinda anxious with showing the party early as I assume like these instances a member is likely to get cut off. ngl

Hoping on the party's unity and coordination is well.

Quite the good episode. Looking forward to this goblin hunt.

Also like how Goblin Slayer got a bit of back story to him. The man is a whole mystery, but he's decent company as seen with the lizardman's team.

White Fox continues to provide that feeling of a somewhat cinematic experience.

The drunk thousand year old tsundere elf chick passes out some LEMBAS bread, while Goblin Slayer casually introduces cheese to the overgrown lizard. Immaculate.

It looks like the author took inspiration from Tolkien's work. Elves and Dwarves are racist on each other, that Lembas bread, and the goblin Wargs.

Hmm, that Elf and Dwarf have been around a long time and still silver? They should be gold at least.

That reception girl has the hots for Goblin Slayer. I'm sure if he asked her out, she'll say yes in a heartbeat.

Top-tier banter, introduction of best girl High Elf Archer, and most importantly, more tools to slay goblins with? This party sure contributed a ton in the short time they've been around.

I know GS' helmet slits are pretty big but watching food just phase through his helmet will never not look funny.
