The first half of the episode came straight out of a hentai. Lmao. The animation is the best I have seen in a while. Unsure why people are disliking it. The only parts that seemed bad was killing the goblin children and cliched entrance of the Goblin Slayer. They cannot really expect viewers to sympathise with the goblins after showing the viewers the perspective of a human that had their party slaughtered and raped. Same with the protagonist. I am surprised she showed mercy for them. Also, it seemed somewhat stupid when the Goblin Slayer tossed his sword away because it had too much blood on it. |
People with low average anime scores don't have high standards. They are just bad at choosing good anime to watch. |

Is it bad that I started to get a boner when the goblins stripped that girl face-down, ass-up? I would have dropped this if she didn't survive. Good for Studio White Fox sparing one bishoujo. |

When I heard about this anime, I didn't think as much as I'm right now. My expectations were pretty decent, although once my friend told me that the manga is pretty good. Then I watch it, didn't feel much tho. It got some good graphics right there, and the atmosphere was ok. Speaking about the atmosphere, many people sense it as "so-dark", or "too much". For me, it's just the series is not for anyone. If you are not one of the genre fans, then don't watch it. I think I'm gonna give it a chance for the series to grow. |

If I was to be raped, it'd have to be by KRAUSER-SAMA! Can't lie, I really liked the title character, it was pretty cool seeing him plow through every goblin that came by him, after seeing how horrible the goblins were to the weak guys (not surprising at all the kind of thing that happened to them). If I watched this as a kid, I probably would have found this to be amazing as a kid. Elfen Lied was my fourth anime and I used to think it was actually fantastic. The music and narration would have probably tricked me into thinking that this is too, and the brutality of it would have made it seem cool and adult. Now, it's entertaining, but not because it's brilliant. Natsuki_Hyundai said: Maybe in popularity, but I'm sure nobody's claiming that this is better than GioGio."Anime of the Season" |

I thought the first episode was really awesome but i was kind of sad because the adventurers died. |

PG-13 cannot be right. They don't imply the rape happening, it's obvious it's happening. I just hope there is a reasoning behind it and not just something they added to be edgy. The way they build the world, and the way they explain how the Goblin mindset works, is 100% gonna make or break this anime for me. I haven't read the source material yet, but be sure I'm going to! I find this anime a bit refreshing from the usual romanticised fantasy anime, where people just miraculously don't die even if a building crumble over them. This shit is definitely dark, uncomfortable, brings up heavy topics, and i think this form of provocation and the reactions that people have is exactly what they wanted. And to be honest, i love it. |

Playcool said: I m amazed I actually was that engrossed on watching this as I was... People are focusing too much on rape, I only saw it as a small part, a method to make me loathe those fuckers even more, and it worked, along with all the violence these goblins showcase. The selling point for GS us goblin slaying, and sure enough WhiteFox nailed it. The sound direction, the art, the body language of the MC, I m impressed. As anime I cant recall the last time I saw something this fucked up, and with all this rather light content, releases and new airings about, swifting gears to something this dark yet grounded feels great. My only complain is that the Socerer girl was too quick to embarge in adventures with him considering how she was previously before. tone shift was too drastic there. i cannot express how much i agree with you on this one. |

Finally found the motivation to watch this series. And this is what I think after watching episode 1: It was OK. Based on that, this is my reaction to what I remember the initial reaction to episode 1 was when it aired: I don't get it. The part about everyone being super excited about this show after watching episode 1? I don't get it. (only refering to anime-onlies for this show, like me) The part about people feeling super "offended" and "shocked" by this show? I don't get that either. When I watched the scenes with the rookie adventurers, including the part where they got wrecked, I felt absolutely ice cold, in other words I felt absolutely nothing when watching that part. No excitement and also no disgust. Although I was pretty much spoilt about the entire episode, because some retards feel the need to constantly draw comparisons with Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken's goblins and spoil everything about this episode (I am not neccessarily talking about MAL here), pretty much everything up until that part was worse than what these "spoilers" conveyed and what I expected to watch. I mean the whole part with the rookies just cannot be considered "foreshadowing". Instead it was like an on-the-face instruction manual for "how to get yourself killed on your first day as an adventurer". I know that it's supposed to create a contrast with the Goblin Slayer after but, come on... it felt so fake that it didn't even make it past my personal suspension of disbelief and the bar for that is usually quite low. That whole segment up until Goblin Slayer appeard was a big disappointment. Then however Goblin Slayer appeard and it got better. Maybe it will be a trend where the series is at its best when it's showing us the title character's job in action. The Goblin Slayer's approach is quite interesting with using traps and adapting to the situation (e.g. spontanously using the Priestesses' flashbang skill as part of the plan). We also get to see that while the Goblin Slayer seemingly resolved everything perfectly, we subtly get to see his own flaws as well (e.g. when he notes that the gasoline ended up being a cost/performance inefficient purchase). Overall this episode is OK. Not more and not less. Yes the first half was supposed to be a "contrast" to the second half when Goblin Slayer appears, but that has no bearing when a scene simply feels badly written. It's usually no problem for me if a character acts stupid or even if they act cliché as long as it's grounded on something that makes it "believable" and here it felt like they behaved as they did to make it as "noticable as possible", which doesn't really make it believable at all in my eyes. It's essentially the polar opposite mistake of what Fate/stay night:UBW did. That show was so subtle that most watchers completely missed several things that happened or were "hinted at". Overlord recently did so as well. But Goblin Slayer with the adventurers threw the word subtleness out of the window, but while both extremes are bad, Goblin Slayer actually uses the worse one, because shows with high subtleness at least give a reason to rewatch their series, but the on-the-face Goblin Slayer? Nope. So overall the good and bad are both present and in total it makes me see this episode as "OK". Also this might just be me, but the music (BGM) somehow felt... off. It wasn't what I was expecting. But I'll withhold my judgement on that aspect for now as often it's just a matter of getting used to it. TL;DR I didn't like the first half of the episode at all due to the rookie adventurers so obviously idiotically going into their deaths that it managed to break even my super-low-bar suspension of disbelief, but I thought that the second half was quite good. Overall an "OK" episode. Also I will (probably) not write such a long post for this series again. It was just a special exception for this first episode to add my own 5 cents, considering it has that whole "controversy" surrounding it (if you can even call it that). |

"Don't they have the right to live?" Well this are the same creatures responsible for slaughtering your "friends" moments ago, but yeah i am sure little Goblin-Timmy over there will grow up to be an engineer one day Shinkan if you give him a chance! Well after checking it out after all the commotion surrounding it, my thoughts are more leaning towards the fact that most everything happening was highly unnecessary. If you want to depict goblins as this creatures that lack a moral code and that are moved by only their animalistic instics that is fine, but at least give us something more than a r*ape sceen or them laughing at a girl peeing herself to reinforce that idea. Apart from that characters were one dimention, Shinkan seem like the extreme moralist character that will spend most of the series questioning the GS actions wich will be anoying, the animation was wanky and the story doesn't seem to be deviating from this fetishised author involving gore and r*ape that i am sure will get repetitive pretty quickly and that i would rather see this in doujishi form. |

so this is supposed to be, like, what, a deconstruction of the isekai genre? Didn't Grimgar try something like that too? TBH, for such a polarizing show this was surprisingly tame. Everyone has an opinion on this by now, and while nothing of substance happened yet, I was thoroughly entertained. Good shit. |

Goblin Slayer is not an isekai, but a Fantasy world inspired on DnD campaign. Think about stuff like Lodoss, Slayers or Orphen. Goblin Slayer was not transported to another world, this is his world. The first episode tells you about the romanticism of the idealized adventurer party and it shows you the dangers of that kind of stuff where an error could be fatal. |

The "transported to another world" technicality doesn't change the vibe to me, but I'll admit that is a technical inaccuracy on my part regardless. |

Sorry but the defining trait of isekai is a real world person being transported into a fantasy realm. GS is totally not that. |

Grimgar and Overlord are Isekai (Overlord was inspired on DnD too, but is still an isekai). Isekai are literally about characters transported on another world, You do not need to have RPG stuff for that. For example, Digimon, Yuuni Kokuki and Escaflowme and Fushigi Yugi are Isekais. I know you are trying to say that everything is the same for you. But there is a huge difference in the development when the character is a native of that world. |

Their knowledge or items will help them solving problems in the new world, and usually there will be a running gag how their previous life compared in the new world. Fantasy MC's are purely driven by their self motivation to develop the plot, while isekais relies on events in the new world to develop the plot. |

Nice introduction to a dark series. This got me hyped and terrified, I don't think I can look at goblins the same way ever again. I wonder if I'm gonna be able to watch "that time I got reincarnated as a slime" without having flashbacks of these goblins. From the comments that I've read so far it's even worse in the manga... I think I'll stick to the anime |

Went back to rewatch episode 1 with the dub after it later came out. Was hoping it was going to be good since this is the kind of show I'd want to see spoken in English (being a western fantasy setting and all). Unfortunately, it fell really short, particularly with Goblin Slayer's voice, the single most important character of the series. Goblin Slayer's voice sounded like he was speaking through a PVC plumping tube, rather than a believable metal helmet. I hated that aspect the most! Sounded absolutely terrible. But that's not all I had gripes with. The other thing I didn't like about his English dubbed voice was that it showed too much nuance or emotion, as if he just recently had his family murdered last week by the Goblins and went out for revenge; rather than the more stoic character that he's become after being the "Goblin Slayer" for many many years. I wouldn't mind this as much if they were adapting "Year One" story arc with this voice, but here in the English dub, he has that same voice of slight agitation constantly throughout the whole entire episode, which doesn't suit his character persona at all. Goblin Slayer is meant to be a seasoned killing machine that does this on a daily basis--all day, every day; day-in, day-out... he hates Goblins more than anybody else of course, but at the same time doesn't show any repugnance. As a warrior, Goblin Slayer sees the goblins as no better or worse than himself, as shown by a monologue in the manga that's skipped in the anime, about how the goblins must see him as the monstrous villain from their POV, doing what they do as anybody else would according to their innate nature. But in the English dub, the tone I got was that he sees the goblins as his bitter enemies, as if the goblins he's killing were the ones who killed his family personally, as opposed to his true character of Goblin Slayer simply wanting to cold-heatedly commit genocide on the goblins monsters, hence his counting of each kill count. The point I made about too much emotion would be a detriment in future episodes, as Goblin Slayer is also meant to be a bit socially awkward, speaking only few words, whether it's during battle or everyday life in the town--to the point that it's almost comically funny. He's meant to only rarely show any emotions, such as anger, agitating, ...etc. But in the English dub, I felt that he talked too much, even if it was by 2-4 words longer on average (turn on the English subtitles which match the Japanese script to compare how it differs from the spoken English dialogue). This is a common practice in the dubbing industry with matching mouth-flapping movements in key animation, but for Goblin Slayer who's always wearing a helmet, this shouldn't matter whatsoever. I'd rather him say what needs to be said, and then cue the silent pause. That would have matched better with the character and the overall atmosphere of the show. I compare the Goblin Slayer character to be much like the animated Batman cartoons (not including Adam West's version), or Halo's Master Chief: Few words, straight to the point, and a blunt delivery. Not to sound like a contrarian subs-only fanboy, but I think that latter tone is much better portrayed with the Japanese voice actor (or even just reading the translated manga) than the English dub does by leaps and bounds. The other characters voices were okay. But I just can't get over Goblin Slayer's bad dub portrayal for the listed reasons...so for that reason, I'll continue watching the rest of the series in Japanese. |

I have planned to start watching this show since I heard about it for the first time, but I did not have time for it. Finally, I started watching it yesterday. What is my oppinion on "Goblin Slayer"? Absolutely great! This anime is really entertaining. Goblin slaying might sound dull, but it is not when you take a look i.e. on this first episode. Remember how them rookies ended when they underestimated the power of goblins. Many people focuse, as I noticed, on the fact we had gore and rape scenes. True, there were, though I personally treat them as one of the elements of this anime, not its essential part. It is dark fantasy, so that kind of scenes must take place and the fact they are related to goblins shows us their specie as more deadly. Not small, dumb green fellas, but bloody masochists, rapists, kidnappers and thieves, who are a real problem for the societies portrayed in the anime, so title Goblin Slayer not only has always work to be done, but also his actions such as bloody treatment of goblins can be understood if you remember how dreadful goblins can be. |

These are not some things that you can toy with just to get the views or the "edginess". Goblin Slayer uses violence and rape to shock the viewer, not to tell meaningful stories. There is a huge difference between having a violent scene that fits the story and the one that disgusts you. For examples of good taste violence see Tokyo Ghoul, Berserk, Attack on Titan. I'm not even mentioning the little goblins which "accidentally" looked more human than the goblins themselves. As of the more "calm" parts of the episode, I'll say that Goblin Slayer looked terrible - I can go play SoulCalibur VI for an hour and I'll present a better armor design than this, um, something. The little moments like when the boy would clash his sword on the in the dungeon, like the "I can use healing only three times), etc were way too clear and you could see from a mile what the authors were trying to achieve, I do not like that. The anime is clearly aimed at an inexperienced viewer, most likely a child. When you'll start watching the next episode of this non-sense, think about the way people who were raped or who had to deal with death felt when they saw this abomination. Sigh, it’s already episode 5 and i still see triggered peoples. No matter how hard you’re hating this series, it’s still the most popular anime this season, deal with it. |

The little moments like when the boy would clash his sword on the in the dungeon, like the "I can use healing only three times), etc were way too clear and you could see from a mile what the authors were trying to achieve, I do not like that. The anime is clearly aimed at an inexperienced viewer, most likely a child. When you'll start watching the next episode of this non-sense, think about the way people who were raped or who had to deal with death felt when they saw this abomination. Ironically, your comment tells me that you are an inexperienced viewer. That viewers voted "loved it" doesn't mean that they love death or rape. That they love seeing this manga getting an anime probably never crossed your mind. And I'm sure the majority of the viewers do in fact understand what death means, from personal experience or not. "edginess", could you, for God's sake, not parrot what dozens of people said before you. There is no such thing as "good taste violence", violence is always awful. And if you think that AoT or Tokyo Ghoul fare better in that regard, you are sorely mistaken. Especially TG was quite disgusting at times. Sure you can. You do realise that using a character editor in a video game and actually designing, drawing and animating a character are worlds apart. It was supposed to show that you have to keep your surroundings in mind during a fight and shouldn't swing around your sword like an idiot. And that the use of miracles is limited, which has to be taken into account too. It was fairly obvious, yes, but that's not inherently wrong. Also, reading some of the other comments, it probably wasn't obvious enough. So much for inexperienced viewers. Finally, this anime is clearly not aimed at children, I shouldn't have to tell you that. I do feel sorry for people, who experienced rape or death first-hand. But that these things happen in real life, doesn't mean that they can't be portrayed in fiction. Quite the contrary in fact. As for the depiction of the rape scene: the ones, who won't shut up about it and how "fetishized", "sexualized" or "sexy" it was, are the ones with a severe dislike for the anime. That's actually quite telling. If someone says, that he enjoyed the rape scene or that is was arousing, he most likely does so to get a reaction out of people like you. Quite successful, I have to say. |

Pretty edgy and cliche. Not really awful but not really good. Justa average af. This is the hottest stuff this season? Lame! If not for rape I would be kind of bored. But goblin rape? I got a boner. A goblin boner that is. |

These are not some things that you can toy with just to get the views or the "edginess". Goblin Slayer uses violence and rape to shock the viewer, not to tell meaningful stories. There is a huge difference between having a violent scene that fits the story and the one that disgusts you. For examples of good taste violence see Tokyo Ghoul, Berserk, Attack on Titan. I'm not even mentioning the little goblins which "accidentally" looked more human than the goblins themselves.

Quite successful, I have to say. Ironically, your comment tells me that you are a major elitist with an ego that needs to be trimmed down. Yeah, write another paragraph about people who voted "loved it" but they actually didn't... love it? Uhhh, confused. A bad anime is bad anime, fanboying over it being "adapted" is not a good sign. Well, I am sure that majority does NOT understand what death mean. Why? I'm just going to respond in the same way you did - lots of water, no proof, loud statements. Well, excuse me for calling things what they are. I am not the one to use words like "edginess" or "weebs", or whatever other abusive word is in trend. But an edgy anime is an edgy one. "Edgy is something or someone trying too hard to be cool, almost to a point where it's cringe worthy." - from web-dictionary. You can show Tokyo Ghoul to people that don't watch anime and they'll be okay with it. That's the god damn difference: the scenes that are violent in TG have a god damn meaning. Nobody has fun seeing Touka vomiting out her food, the food carefully prepared by her friend which she cannot eat due to the limits of her body. This scene serves a purpose and it is needed to develop the larger conflict, the one which IS important for us. It's not some damn goblins which are okay to kill because they rape and kill. Goblin Slayer is edgy for one and only reason - the tasteless violence, rape is used not to tell a story but to satisfy the viewer's lust. There is ZERO meaning behind these goblins because they are nothing. Who do they represent? Criminals? Criminals are people, too, you know? They don't live to rape and kill and they certainly have some feelings. Justify it with "oh my gosh, what if goblins were real" to keep satisfying your lust. Violence is not always awful. If you don't know that much, go back to college and take a class of literature. Of course "a world apart". Keep using these excuses to justify the fact the armor design is terrible and all characters look worse than a generic fantasy anime (which they were trying to make a parody of). Using three "smart" words won't get you anywhere. Animators don't animate characters based on their creativity, they work on a plan. Creators who draw it don't come up with the designs just like that, they use the existing ones and mix and match. That's exactly what I'd be doing in a video game and hell yes, I'd do a million times better job than this pathetic excuse of an armor design. Why am I even spending my time on someone who thinks that just because you show gore and titties, it's not for children. Goodness... Pooping happens in real life. Sometimes people step in pooping. Also some people eat poop. Let's go make an anime where evil cat-humans come to Earth from planet Azrarurus and steal humans to eat poop and step in it. What, doesn't sound fun? But why? It's not your fetish? Hey, c`mon, it can happen in real life, too. We know so little about alien life and about the traditions of possible aliens, so we should be ready in case if some aliens come to Earth and steal our poop!! I hope you'll realize how sick this rape fetish is and I hope I don't need to show you all the stupid comments about the rape scene causing boners. Hell, some idiot actually spent his time on editing out the scene, adding in a hentai scene, publishing it on a porn-site and then publishing it for the whole world to see on another forum which I visit. THAT is the audience that you associate yourself with. Enjoy the good company of angry children with time to waste. Your logic makes me sad. "Oh, but you just hated the rape scene because you hated the anime, boooh!" Are you even trying to make an argument or you simply want to waste my time? I don't give a damn about this anime or any other. I love the ones I love, I have many other things going on in my life than sitting on a forum and hating a genre or an anime, or whatever. I don't give a damn about reactions. Children with time to waste, people with no lives and just angry people of any age will always get a reaction out of someone. Are you that blind or you're doing this on purpose? You're just showing me how insecure you are. Why would I even consider a reaction of some time-wasters? I have spent 20 minutes on you. 20 minutes. I am not about to spend anymore, so don't expect another reply. Have fun enjoying your rape fetish in the episodes to come. One day you'll realize what consequences these "silly anime" and "goblins are just a metaphor!!!!!" lead to. P.S. I quite like the post above mine. Kind of shows what kind of audience this anime attracts. Certainly no one who values their time would spend it on adding an ugly goblin image to their post. Exactly the response, that I expected. You did well In this regard at least. I'm an elitist for pointing out your incomprehensible gibberish? Very well then. This anime is not aimed at children. If you don't understand that much, I don't know what to say. I already addressed this: only people like you won't shut up about the "rape fetish". I don't know if that is secretly your kink or whatever, but stop projecting. And like I said, any comments saying that it "gave them a boner" are made to trigger you. Once again, with success. I'm not associating myself with either side, actually. Your lack of logic and common sense makes me sad. Or it would, If I would care, but fortunately I don't. For someone who doesn't give a damn, you seem awfully angry and offended. You're showing me how insecure and how much of an angry child you are. Likewise, don't bother replying. I'm done with you, kiddo. Thank you, I'll do just that. The only consequences, that anime like Goblin Slayer lead to, are immature persons like you throwing a tantrum and resorting to name calling, since they have no actual arguments. |

Before I forget, to prove how utterly ridiculous and silly it is: The amount of people who voted "loved it" shocks me. I'm sorry to be mean, but you all need to understand what torture and cannibalism means. These are not some things that you can toy with just to get the views or the "edginess". When you'll start watching the next episode of this non-sense, think about the way people who were tortured or who had to deal with cannibalism felt when they saw this abomination. |

I honestly wasn't sure about this anime after I heard about the use of rape for "shock value" but I'm glad I didn't skip out on this anime. It's definitely dark...but I guess they included that so early to basically say "Don't expect some light hearted adventuring anime." That's the message it got across...at least for me it did. Also, I understand that the anime included a rape scene but, come on, it honestly could've been more graphic than it was. The brutality of everything that happened is just them establishing the tone, not mere shock value (though that's not necessarily a bad thing). |

For a first episode, that's pretty hard and brutal, but I really appreciate the straightforwardness. The beginning was this very fast-paced action fest and then it slowly becomes really emotional in a way, the relationship of the Goblin Slayer and the priestess is going to be a huge part I assume. Speaking of that girl, she's far too naive for that world, imagine having that be your first day at your new job, shit must suck, pretty hard. This show is going to tackle a lot of sensitive topics, like rape and brutal murder, including all sort of torture and dismembering, not a lot of shows get away with this, but this is looking to be doing pretty fine. The animation is looking beautiful, and again, that's to be expected from studio White Fox, the voice acting is great and the action is thrilling, a lot of emotional tackles as well, this might be the show for me. The way the Goblin Slayer made comments on there being a good Goblin making me believe that he might be a Goblin himself, a Goblin that's never left his hold (armor). |
