| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah shit, the darker and grimmer stuff returned this episode from what Goblin Slayer and the others discovered in those ruins. It's slightly toned down as they had to improvise for airing this on TV. I think Priestess really improved in magic though or at least in her confidence to perform her abilities. We also got some more powerful monsters rather than the standard goblin foot soldiers. Heh, it feels like fighting a video game boss. GG Ogre. |

| Our Elf got bloody this episode and she had a vengeance but things ended nicely for them tho with some injuries. Anyway that ogre was interesting but his defeat was pretty fast. It was a pretty nice episode. |
| Awesome episode. The action was great, it was pretty cool watching the group take out the goblins under GS's lead. The fight against the Ogre was really nice and I love how at the end GS basically undermines the Ogre saying that Goblins are a bigger problem than the Ogre. xD I hope the party doesn't disband immediately, I kinda want to see them go on more expeditions. They kinda grew on me, especially at the end when the Elf girl mentioned what adventuring meant to her and how she wanted to take GS on a real adventure that's thrilling and exciting and not just bloody massacre work. Heh, I guess the Elf girl really grew on me this episode. <3 Receptionist is still best girl though. XD Production seems to still be good and the soundtrack was on point during the fights. Looking forward to next week. |

| That was really fun to watch I laughed a bit when everyone thought that Orcbolg was gonna kill that elf lady lol but man I thoroughly enjoyed watching him and everyone else massacre those goblins Our Elf Archer learned how dangerous Goblins are so I'm glad that she at least understands why Orcbolg does what he does but I won't fault her for trying to get this dude to lighten up and have fun lol The Ogre battle was pretty great too (I totally forgot how they beat him so I had a great time re-living it all) especially that savage burn right before he died lol Pretty good episode imo and how nice was it for Orcbolg to come home to his waifu in the end lol |
| Another good episode. The Ogre battle was great with the way he was defeated by Goblin Slayer. |
 |
| i still can't bear with this music, the orchestra makes it better, but the edgy rock riffs are making it worse nevertheless, this episode was pretty good. the reason i liked gs was because of the synergy of this squad and how they handle their tactics. also the diversity of different species / races gives off some kind of WoW vibe, which is pleasant in some way |
 |
| The use of the scroll misses of Michael Bay KABOOM sound and visual effect but good overall |
| bruh |
| That was great. Loved the strategies and desperation at play with Goblin Slayer resorting to the scroll to defeat the General. A really fun episode for me. |
| that raped elf got less detailed wounds compared to manga, but it's pretty okay. we got less crappy cgi, which is pretty great. and in case you're missing, the lizard priest is using a special blade made from magic that is very sharp and never goes dull. that's why he didn't have problem killing those sleepy goblins unlike the elf. |
| Goblin Slayer is edgy show with a very little substance, few illogical things omnipresent in all anime and weird shift in tone - but it also have protagonist who actually uses some resemblance of tactics to actually defeat his foes, which is actually pretty rare. |
| Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world. |
| Goblin Slayer: What is your name? Enraged Ogre: You dare? I'm an O... Goblin Slayer: It doesn't matter what your name is! Also you just activated my trap card! Awesome episode loved the ogre fight and the music was just perfect for it. Rip and tear until it is done Goblin Slayer!!! |
| I want to ask the sexy mage a weird request as well. |

| The priestess's face on seeing GS try to rub blood on to the elf lol. Its nice seeing the elf get developed. Having pride is good but using it as motivation is even better. Quite creative combining two spells to knock out the gobs. The fight against the Ogre though was really impressive visually and intense. The party's teamwork was impressive for their first outing. GS sure dealt with the ogre in a creative way though. Their first adventure together sure produced an impressive victory. |

| Ogre fight was great we got more blood to compensate last episode did not expect that scroll use I would love to see an episode of him going on the adventure that elf promised probably not going happen Don't really care about Cow girl |
 |
| Great episode. First I thought they would end with the introduction of Ogre and conclude the battle next episode and I'm glad they managed to pull off with only one. One detail the anime skipped that Priestess has indeed overcasting her spell limit (1 for Heal for the abducted Elf girl, 1 for Silence, and 2 for Protection). She literally betting her life to save everyone since overcasting more often involve losing your life in the process. One thing, I don't like how Crunchyroll's translation of Ogre's 孕み袋 to plaything, it should be breeding tool/bag since it would make more sense that the Ogre is planning to use Priestess to breed for the KIA goblins should she survived the Ogre's Fireball. |

| That was good. Although I would have preferred if the action was more dynamic, I just felt like the tension from the manga was missing. Oh well, it is what it is. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| The battle against the Ogre was dope (especially the OST of the end). Goblin Slayer is a madman, using an item made to escape as a way to defeat his enemy, what a guy. The lizardman also has a pretty cool magic (I find very amusing that his Gods are basically dinosaurs). I also find very funny how the Ogre asked Goblin Slayer if he was indeed thinking in using the trap of the scroll to kill Goblins before being killed. Even he thought Goblin Slayer was insane for wasting something so useful to get rid of pests, lmao. It seems elf-chan will go tsuntsun for Goblin Slayer. To the harem she goes. |
 |
| Great epsiode! Sound Department, all the varying soundtracks that played, really excelled in this episode and was an amazing and top-tier company to have. Personally, I enjoyed the first ost most which played during the 5th minute of the episode or so when the Goblin Slayer was expressing his confusion and worry regarding the absence of a goblin shaman, but the battle osts that played during the intense fight/goblin slaughter and the more relaxing and calming one at the end were all magnificent! Action scenes were really entertaining and gripping too despite the constant use of CGI for the Goblin Slayer’s movements. Animation and just the tensed atmosphere of the episode were glorious! Goblin Slayer once again shows why he is the boss when it comes to dealing with Goblins, taking the opposite path to which the Dwarf suggested in order to visit their wasteland(I’m assuming he knew that there’d be a hostage there too). Damn, that scene where everyone(including I) thought that Goblin Slayer was going to kill the elf though, I definitely didn’t expect that little Goblin to come charging out of the blue. Elf-chan, meanwhile, had a really traumatic experience in this episode and lost herself there while trying to slaughter all those KO’d goblins but it’s good to see her regain herself by the end of the episode. Priestess’s save there against the Ogre really shows her confidence in her ability now and that’s nice to see. Goblin Slayer sure is a great tactician and a stubborn but thoughtful leader. Really enjoyed how he outsmarted the Ogre there and claimed Goblins to be much more troublesome before finishing off the Ogre, it made his character so much more badass. It just makes me think that the elf-chan’s adventure wish is not for Gonlin Slayer as he’s now more or less a lost cause. What a nice welcome home in the end there though. Looking forward to the next episode now! |

We all know Orcbolg never intended to go on adventures in the first place. He exterminates under the title of adventurer. He'll do anything if it helps him complete his single minded mission. Other than that, everyone filled their MVP quota. Elf with first kill(s) and traps, Priestess' last resort protection, Lizard increasing their man power, Dwarf ... tag teaming with Priestess I guess. He was able to pinpoint where the nest was, but GS just had them go the opposite direction anyway. He indirectly saved the captive elf in a sense. No need to mention our MC's achievements here. I'm actually worried word of his accomplishments will lead him into more trouble. |

| Give me at least 5 minutes to modify my post before quoting me. (refreshing page advised) |
| great episode Priestess used 4 spell instead of 3, I guess she's really grown up (idk if it's permanent limit cap or ?) can't wait for the Goblin Lord battle & meat shield |
Vanschia said: great episode Priestess used 4 spell instead of 3, I guess she's really grown up (idk if it's permanent limit cap or ?) can't wait for the Goblin Lord battle & meat shield No her limit is 3 atm, she says it herself : "I just used Heal, so that leaves two", but notice how she became super weak and almost fainted after the 4th spell. |
| A nice hunt. The elf archer is quite emotional for someone her age. |
| Too bad that we didn't get see Ogre rape and a potential goosh goosh 2.0. Good episode nonetheless since we were back to business. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
Vanschia said: great episode Priestess used 4 spell instead of 3, I guess she's really grown up (idk if it's permanent limit cap or ?) can't wait for the Goblin Lord battle & meat shield She cast past her limit. It gets mentioned briefly in the LN's and the manga, but she risks killing herself by doing so. In the face of that fireball, definitely a necessary risk, though I wish the anime elaborated on it a little more or made things look a little bit more high-risk for her. Some bleeding from the nose/eyes would've been a great visual touch to convey what was going on; as it was, I only know what happened there because I've read the LN. |

| Do elfs consider the lenght of 1 year to be less than what humans consider the lenght of 1 year to be?cause best girl aka elf girl sure didn't experience shit during those "2000" years looking at the ways she reacted and acted during this epsiode Anw it was a decent episode i guess 3/5 |

| About the spell limit, also, you can see her totally exhausted. |

Mattinator95 said: DOOM GUY IS GONNA BE GOBLIN SLAYER IN THE DUB XD Yeah, I still can't believe it, but it's true xD. |
|
| So the fight ended with an anti-climax, barely-animated secret move. It's pretty bad. The manga was much better in conveying the intensity of that scene. An action anime without decent animation. What's the appeal of this series? Just rape and "gore"? |
 |
| Pretty good episode, filled with a lot of goblin-slaying action. It was cool to see each member of this group showcase their abilities, and I didn't expect GS to pull out that scroll that he used to kill the Ogre (then again, there didn't seem to be any other way to beat him). That was an awesome-looking technique. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Will we still see different types of enemies like the ogre? Or was it just an exception? That really would make the series more interesting uwu |
 |
| what kind of person who has an idea to teleport a fucking seawater under the sea? Goblin Slayer it is. it would look dope though if he release the teleport right where the goblin are sleeping and then just drown them all from the top. great episode, Goblin Slayer knew he can’t handle that alone, and everyone had their roles, especially Dwarf and Priestess with sleeping combo, and her double layered protection. cast limit is the shit you know, harsh stuff. when Goblin Slayer ask you to bath in a blood of a goblin, i feel that.  imagine the smell. |

"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Well this was a better episode than last one. High Elf got her shit altogether, at least she's more bearable now. The action was nice I guess 3/5 Akerakai said: Do elfs consider the lenght of 1 year to be less than what humans consider the lenght of 1 year to be?cause best girl aka elf girl sure didn't experience shit during those "2000" years looking at the ways she reacted and acted during this episode I was curious about that, how come in all of her "2000" years didn't she experience something as dark as this? I know she says in one point that she rather have an adventurous life rather than what she just went through, but its still suspicious. Bad writing I guess. |

NamelesssOne said: For those who may have missed it there is an after credits scene. Spoilers: It's really heartwarming. I would have been okay if I didn't see that, but thanks I guess. |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Pretty good episode, the battle was cool even though the animation was't the greatest At the end Goblin Slayer was really badass charging agaist the ogre with the scroll Hope this anime will keep getting better |
| Finally some stronger and different enemies that face Goblin Slayer. |
 |
| This anime has some dark prospects, and the slight comic relief seems good. But today's episode though, I actually thought that dwarf was going to pull off some kage-bun shin-no Jutsu... That wasn't the case however, I'm liking the way they use spells in this anime -that dwarf especially, it was reminiscent of earth-bending. For a second I thought the goblin slayer would just be like, "eh, it's not a goblin. I'm out" but it ended up building up towards home using that scroll -which they were explicitly implying so... Can't wait for next week |

Probably bc she never gets out from her nest. Just think her nest is a very peaceful place and demon lord still didn’t exist in majority of her lifetime, she’s a lowkey 2000 y/o NEET. |
| Not sure how much of the feeling this anime is lacklustre comes from spoiling myself by reading manga and how much from poor production values. First episode was good but afterwards there's no proper flow. I have no idea what is in the novels but anime is also skipping some significant details you can find in the manga like what HEA said in the wagon. Or wet Priestess... Oh ye, and how in the hell they were making sounds under Silence... |
