| I hope that constantly merging 2d and CGI doesn't become a trend. Another anime from this season is also doing the same (Double Decker). It's confusing and looks like shit. Also, the lyp syncing was terrible and the episode was pretty much introduction + torture + edge. |
"Doubting everything that you take on... That is very important. Open your own eyes, clear out your ears, and look and listen to the world... And think using your own brain. After you've doubted everything, there is a possibility of something real to believe in. To believe in something, doubt everything." |
Rape in the 1st episode, eh? |

Akerakai said: The animation was pretty crappy and all the faces looked deformed af until shit started to escalate quickly The ep was kind of bad(the story so far is good but it has some stupid moments) but at the same time it was so good It made me feel a lot of different type of emotions in a positive way The directing during the action scenes was great in other hand the directing of the more casual scenes at the start of the ep was awful and they sure do try a lot to hide the mouth of the person who is talking And that ost is top notch 4/5 But lol if this is supposed to be the toned down version ,i wonder how the manga is More or less the same. In the case of the anime, it seems like they're toning down the story in favor of the rape, which is kind of funny. |
| Judging by this topic after seeing the first episode we already saw everything, theres nothing more to add here ? He just keeps killing goblins and they keep raping ? Can as well drop it lol |
 |
| Well fuck, that was dark and uncomfortable. I heard it was going to have rape scene, but I never imagine how horrifying it is until I see it with my own eyes. That is what happens when you don't invite a tank to your party and DPS start to pull trash. |

Can as well drop it lol Not going too deep to avoid spoilers, but the setting itself is as grand as a fantasy anime can be. They set up the existence of dark elves, dragons, etc. All sorts of mythological creatures that could bring the world to ruin. But they narrow the entire story down to Goblins and their raping because that's all Goblin Slayer cares about. The rest oft he world can go to hell for all he cares. Goblins need to be exterminated. |
| Aside from the CGI, pretty good 1st episode. Honestly really surprised they had the balls to add the rape scenes If Berserk had a younger little brother, it would be this |
 |
| Fucking golden. The Goblin Slayer was waaaaay more talkative than i expected (i expected Bounty Hunter from Darkest Dungeon). I also dont like the voice actor at all but its probably gonna be explained soon on the next episodes. That ending song is so avatar. Manly shit was something that was missing from this season. |
| I never lie on the internet. What's the point of it... the chinese noodles ad is an anime and avatar isn't! triggered Check out my taste and my profile. |

That's just opening the door to even more people complaining. |

| Awfully generic. I was expecting something like that but it went beyond my expectations. Seriously, so much hype because of blood, rape and violence? Meh. The only nice thing about this episode is cute design od MC. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| i'm amazed people are complaining about rape. so gory violence is good, but rape is no-no? okay... |
 |
| I liked watching that cocky little bastard get ripped apart and then his companions get abused. Wars of extermination are no laughing matter. It’s not all “Pip Pip, for the love of St George and no quarter!” Sometimes the other guys are chattering exactly the same thing, and in that cave, they meant it! |

Ziirf said: not exactly. There will be some more but the series doesn't rely on rape for shock value as much as this ep implies. I'd say there's 2 more instances of rape after this for this season. Gauge it from there to decide if you'll continue or notI honestly do not like rape scenes, but other than that I don't mind brutality in shows. That is just my no-go-zone, so before i continue I would like to ask the people that read the source material. - Are there more rape scenes? |
| Well, I was expecting a dark-fantasy anime and that's what we got! Damn this was brutal and I love it! (excluding the rape scene) Lets be real though, rape scenes are never easy to watch and this was no exception. Personally I think if you plan to watch an Anime as dark as Goblin Slayer, you probably should expect some serious sensitive matters, like rape in this case. Never underestimate the weak, cause before you know it, you'll be in a world of hurt. Especially when you have a horde to deal with. I really like the sountrack a lot! |

| I don't really care about gore and rape, but PG-13 guys COME ON ! Who is the idiot who chose that rating  I remind you that even Made in Abyss is R17+ |
| I think first episode was nice! Besides of being gore/dark! But its interesting having a diferent type of anime! I had a lot of emotions watching this, that are rarely common, i have suffered and enjoyed at the same time! Its hard to understand, it show us completely how is an adventurous life, how the really goblins are! I really expected the three that invited our MC to their group would die! And guild secretary knew that! Goblin Slayer is really pro when it comes to goblins, but he was more talkative than i expect, and he easily acepted her as a partner! |

Mattinator95 said: GemTastical said: As someone who's read every manga chapter to date, it gets WAY willder than what's shown in episode 1 my dude. its not going to be explicit like the manga , the LN is different to the regard on the rape stuff It's actually more explicit than the light novel. The LN doesn't go out of it's way to describe the rape stuff in any detail really. Most of the time it's "The goblins did it" and they'll have them stumble across the aftermath We actually see it happening in the anime, like they depict it in the manga. The only difference between the anime and the manga thus far is the anime's too afraid to show nipples. Which, considering what was happening, is kind of hilarious. |
| I'm not sure if I'm impressed or shocked at how dark this first episode ended up, but it's certainly a bold way to begin a series in any event. What I like so far is that, other than a few explanations about the goblins and the different classes of adventurers, this was a fairly exposition-light opening, largely just getting straight to the point and trying to make us hate the goblins right off the bat. My only real complaint here would be that it was obvious from quite literally the moment they appeared that they would be killed off or otherwise never seen again; sure, it's not as if the show was trying to play its cards close to its chest with that, but it was still too obvious so as to remove some of the tension from what followed. A good start in any case, and I'll be watching with interest to see what twists and turns this show takes going forward. |
| The priestess is so damn useless right now, but does she become more powerful over time? |
| I came into this knowing it was gonna be lame, but am still surprised at just how lame it is. Just more edgelord pandering with shoddy animation, bland OST, and no inspiration. People already pointed it out, but the expendables going out on that quest was super stupid considering the danger was common knowledge in this world. Also especially annoyed at how the setting is trying to pass as an actual fantasy world while constantly incorporating blatant RPG mechanics that just prevent you from ever taking the world seriously. Of course, people are still praising it for going 'all out' with the rape scenes, but imho that was pretty tame. Gotta keep that PG13 rating I guess? And no, I'm not just salty because I didn't get to hear the new Mili song... |
| TIME TO KILL SOME GOBLINS!!!! I'm impressed they didn't censor the hell out of the rape scene. Looking forward to see how far they'll go with this series! |
 |
| The priest is such a good girl, feeling bad for the goblin children despite of what happened to her and her party. Even though I was expecting it to be violent, I still felt uncomfortable. I don't know if I'll drop this eventually, but I'll keep watching for now. (I watched all of Inuyashiki after all, so who knows...) |

uninstallthegame said: I know right. It really gets me the ways the “Protect the Waifu League” is. Getting tortured, mutilated and hacked to pieces is all good fun, and let’s giggle and eat popcorn. But let there be one little titty or any hanky panky whatsoever, it’s as though Satan himself has appeared in the room and is about to cast all the viewer in to eternal damnation.i'm amazed people are complaining about rape. so gory violence is good, but rape is no-no? okay... |
| The CGI hurts a lot, only G-slayer has it xDDDD |
 |
| I only read the first chapter of the manga some time ago so I already knew what I was getting into but my God, the rape was just as horrible or even more to see that the first time, at least I appreciate that they didn't show so much the girl's body as in the manga, I think that's already on the edge of the absurd and fetishistic. What it does seem is that they cut the backstories or at least I remember the martial artist girl's one in the manga, but oh well, it doesn't really matter, I think those stories were more of a bait to make you feel worse for them so considering that they are only disposable characters, I prefer them to be as unknown as possible. So, it was hard to watch but I still liked it (which is weird because I don't usually like this kind of thing) and I haven't read beyond this point but considering how it starts it seems like I'll have to mentally prepare for what's coming. ...also, this transition was very weird, like, the goblins beat the shit out of her, you even see axes between the silhouettes, you hear the girl's moaning and then you see her with just a few scratches and you're like, does the girl have super healing or something? |

Dedy_Wicak_Sono said: Well its just mal, negativity, and elitism, go to other forum for more positive review. They are the same guys who love To Aru Majutsu no Index and vote 0 to others series so this one is on the best ranks. Or they love Code Geass ... XD |
 |
| Well, not bad ... didnt expect to adapt 18+ stuff... but music when he killed those goblins was nice and added to that a lot. Cant wait for ep. when they reveal him, it was quite nice in manga. |
| The episode was okay. Though, I disliked a lot of things. The girls being stripped and kidnapped seems unnecessary. It doesn't make the story seem scarier. Rather, it just looks like unwanted fan service. The part where the protagonist peed was also unwanted fan service. Why does she care so much about these people she just met? I don't care at all that they died. You could just tell that they weren't meant to be alive. The designs were also boring. Why do they need to be moe? If you want to tell a horror story, you should probably use characters that look more adult. (Not moe adults, though.) So far, this feels like it's a hentai with a slightly interesting plot attached. |
| Not a bad episode. A lot of gore in the first episode. The guy who wanted to be a dragon slayer was skilled off in a brutal fashion. |

And no, I'm not just salty because I didn't get to hear the new Mili song... i can't disagree on the production value point, it was indeed bad. but.. -all the edge is super annoying at first, but explained later on (still, i can agree that it's not the best way to introduce the character or start the series) -it's not common knowledge for the newcomers that think high of themselves like this group. they thought goblins are weak as fuck, yet reality showed them the truth (it's like a rat, you might think a rat is weak, but when there are 50 of them? 100? the pack will kill with no doubt) -i can't say much about the RPG and fantasy stuff. i think you're complaining about the tavern and ranking systems? that's pretty RPG, ye. but if you talking about the classes and skill that's pretty fantasy to me. even lord of the rings is fantasy and it has all that shit. there's not gonna be any additional skill points which you can learn new skills bullshit and interface relations. and to mention GS really sucks at world building, it's mostly gonna be only about goblins, how they live and what they do. not much to it |

| I went into this expecting it to be pretty brutal and I wasn't disappointed. Sometimes you need to bite the bullet and acknowledge just how dark the real world can get and I'm glad White Fox didn't shy away from this idea. I'm honestly surprised though that Cruncyroll went with instead of Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet given the kind of people working there. And for those of you who are disturbed by the rape scene, that is nothing compared to what you see in hentai. It really does make me laugh when we get turned on by blood and gore yet cringe when it comes to rape, something that happens all the time around the world. |
| "You talk too much. Think too much." "I don't care how justified you think your reasons are. I won't tolerate liars or thieves." "If you're not going to be nice to me, don't expect me to be nice to you." "I'm a soldier, not a superhero. Don't ever think of me as one." "The world doesn't revolve around you. Get that through your thick skull." "People who live by their emotions go nowhere in their lives. They only find misery. "If you don't like the way your life is than do something about it instead of sitting there feeling sorry for yourself." "You want something go get it. Period." |
| Neat, darker Grimgar. It was quite disturbing but I'll take that. It's a breath of fresh air after so meany season of almost nothing but garbage and mediocrity. Please, just don't tell me that guy will die protecting goblin offspring after some bullshit change of heart... Anyway, it's nice to see morons getting what was coming to them. I hope there will be also more of that aside from Goblin Slayer being unstoppable killing machine. |

HumanPlank said: this aint isekai bruhShows what you would expect when going into an isekai world, anything can kill or rape you, assuming that there is no fortitude stat buffing. |
| Nice first episode. Animation, sound effects, and plot on point. Characterization could be better but it's too early anyway. To those that were shocked: you know what you signed up for when you checked out a Dark Fantasy anime >.> |
| Not sure is I agree with the animation issue's, it looked fine to me. First episode didn't fuck about, if you didn't like the edgyness or violence then probably best go back to crappy battle Shounen. In not expecting anything deep from this show but I think it's going to be a hell of a ride. |
