| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| I like the calm atmosphere this is giving ~ well apart from the fight lol Also refreshing to see people struggling to kill for the first time. Btw how is that a cat?? Reminds me more of a tapir... |

| what character development? they have trouble killing one goblin feel traumitized and then we get a 15 minute montage of them walking through the village with no dialogue then they decide to look at girls in the bath, everything A okay..... what a waste of time......... that Ranta kid is so annoying I was hoping that gob would've killed him tbh |
bobzanny said: Tylaen said: That barely counts as ecchi fanservice of any kind. Exactly it adds nothing to the episode what so ever same as last week. I don't find the display of group dynamic, nor Ranta's obvious horny'ness to add "nothing", moreso that you simply care little for the display of such mundane teenage conversation. |

| I liked the fight against the goblin: the emotional toll it had on the members most involved in that little creature's death felt real. Though I regret the poor choice of BGM and placement of said BGM, be it near the end of the battle where we suddenly switch to loud hard rock, which barely leaves room for Haruhiro and co. to let the thought of having killed another humanoid being sink in (especially jarringwhen you consider how effective the use of silence was in the first episode), or be it around the 14 min mark where the sappy insert song starts playing and vastly overstays its welcome. Other than that, it was a pretty good episode, better than the first at least. ps: is it just me or is yume into manato? |

| Intense fight which shows the struggles of being a noob and the psychological effect the battle had on them was relate-able and the non dialog with music after the fight calmed me down. Really good episode. |

| I know the group isn't killers and all but holy fuck was that goblin fight extremely pitiful. xD I still have no idea why they practically all decided to stand there until someone got hurt. And then there was that self-insert song that lasted way longer than it should've. Makes me think there's barely gonna be anything worthwhile to see in the end. Hopefully it'll pick it up but I'm having doubts. |
| That was the most awkwardly placed insert song I've ever seen. And I really thought the show would be more interesting after that 1st epi, but I'm not even wanting to watch episode 3. |
 |
| The process of killing that goblin was intense. LN was serious enough but here they made it even more serious. Generally I loved that seriousness and started thinking about actually liking this adaptation a lot. Then the music starts playing. ... okay... Still it felt like that music lasted forever and at the end of the music there was short conversation and episode was done. And now, I have completely no idea whatever this is truly good adaptation or not. Well I will say no, although the question whatever I like it or not is the one that is difficult to answer. On one side I like it and it's clear that the creators are trying something new while at the other hand not all of their ideas go through. |
| I like some aspects of this, but the action is terribly scripted. 6v1 against a goblin that is smaller than humans; instead of attacking together, one person attacks and everyone else stands around; even when MC gets tackled by the goblin, everyone stands around for several seconds. And no one has a normal, balanced, mid-range longsword; all the fighters have close-range knives except the guy with the heavy, broad sword. |
~my list
| 24 mins of waste of time. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Nice action, slow pace, 10/10 again. I miss the bath scene but if its in the OVA then im fine with that aswell :P release date for the OVA? |
| Meh. I'll keep watching but the slow place is throwing me off. |
Smudy said: Some people really don't know what good pacing and realism in anime is. It's hilarious. who the fuck watches adventure anime for realism? thats fucking stupid, even slice of life isnt completely realistic, let alone fantasy adventure and "good pacing" is subjective, i could argue that this shows pacing is slow as hell, and therefore is not "good" keep in mind i am enjoying this show, but your comment is more or less invalid |
 |
| That goblin took so many hits to kill. Really cool scene imo. Really felt like an intense first killing experience for them. |

Nexxkinn said: God, what were both director and commite thinking? putting 6 minutes of full SoL-like insert song minutes AFTER that god-it's-horifying-my-hand-went-shiver scene? really? Damn that annoyed me as well. After a fight with that much tension they just killed it with 6 minute boringness... Everything was going perfect and boom the slow pace came back. |
| I think they tried to make that fight look so realistic that it turned to be really stupid, i mean, that gobling had some kind of masterful combat tecnique, they should have made him their master. |

| Very good episode. i like this show even more now. I felt sorry for the goblin tho, he was trying to survive so hard... But it's a cruel world - kill or be killed. Plus, the mc and his allies should work on their teamwork. 6 vs 1 and still struggling. |
Paulo27 said: Sapewloth said: No. ps: is it just me or is yume into manato? Yume's expression change at the end was her relaxing from trying to keep the spirits up around Shihoru. I thought that she liked Shihoru. LMAO |
 |
| The goblin part was awsome, but afterwards... i mean why is there such a long scene like that with just music on the second episode. On another note are we not gonna get more stuff on the guilds (actual scenes not exposicion trhough some conversation)? That would be a bummer... i was really intrigued by the thieves guild and the master thief woman. |

mr_sam21 said: You won't see any at least.Can someone who has read the LN tell/spoil me if there is romance between the characters and if there is , between who ? Actually, I mean, I guess you could see some, depends on how they handle some scenes or even if they change stuff entirely. |

jc9622 said: Pretty cool fighting scene though...I still have no idea why it took them that long to kill 1 goblin. Goblins are easy enemies in both MMORPG and (J)RPG Except it's basically real life for them, and goblins aren't as much of pushovers compared to their video game counterparts, and especially compared to children who are even too scared to kill. I'm also feeling bad for the goblins lol I'm liking it so far. That part was unnecessarily long, but it showed the town's situation, how the characters go on about their daily lives and their relationships with each other. I'm assuming those 2 men sleeping in the shade were also thrown in that world with little to no recollection of their previous, so a lotta people are in the same situation as these guys. |

| The first 10 minutes were excellent. Watching the characters struggle and their sloppy teamwork as they were trying to kill that goblin was really entertaining but then the second half happened and ruined pretty much the episode for me. I get what the director was going for but placing that long insert song after the battle was a terrible decision and killed the entire tension. The bath scene towards the end was really unnecessary. There are plenty of ways to show the dynamic between characters instead of making them peak on girls while they're bathing but ehh it was no big deal I guess. |

| Guild of level 1 noobs practically gang rape an innocent level 2 goblin. Next minute it's a happy slice of life anime. Why do this? |
| Started out great and got to see a really good fight scene, it also let us know their pl and the grind that will follow... After that though there was nothing special, imo it completely ruined the tone of the fight for no reason. I would have preferred some decent dialog and then some shots of how there everyday life was to end it off. waste |

Syrosu said: LETS STAND AND WATCH OUR FRIEND GET KILLED! And no, it has nothing to do with it being 'realistic', if you're out with a friend and someone stabbed your friend and is not strangling him on the floor, would you just stand there and do shit all? truth4lies said: MC's voice just doesnt fit. exactly my thoughts and damn it was boring. Expected some drama or sth from preview and it was just someone's stabbing. Still I'm hopeful next episodes will bring more action, less just doing nothing. |
| Love it. Love the art style, love the music, love the laid back pacing of it all. Also like the concept of having to kill a mob and having it feel like killing a person instead of just a generic enemy. The fanservice in this anime is nothing to complain about imo. If it was over the top, they'd have shown the bath scene at the ending more detailed and all that stuff. I dunno, this kind of anime just really appeals to me haha. I like how it takes its time and doesn't rush things or make the protagonists OP too quickly. |
 |
| Sofar this show is a waste of time. There is nothing going on aside from some overdramatized goblin fight. Its like the protagonists dont even give a damn about their situation. that is not good enough. 2/5 |

| A1 wasted half of the episode with nothing. They could show the same random things in 2 minutes and carry on. Wasting so much time won't reinforce the drama, it actually do the opposite thing when you try too hard. Anyone can get the message without the need of more than ten long boring minutes. |

I don't care about any of the characters specifically yet, and I certainly won't ship Shy Girl n.28432 and Genki Girl n.3524631 after they had 2 scenes together. mfw "maybe they talked off-screen" -.- |

| So I'm feeling a very Slice of Life version of SAO + Log Horizon + DanMachi with this series. Just gonna keep giving it time, like 2 more episodes at least. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| I quite liked that little insert song bit, it was quite nice. Finally they got their first kill! |
