this wasn't an anime original episode, the rookie adventurers part was from the 1st ch of the side manga' brand new day', the rest was some bits of ch 10 and chapter 17 of the manga but it looks like they are swapping the order of the arcs, they probably want to use the invasion arc for the season finale, maybe that was the original order in the LN? idk, apparently the anime is adapting the LN and not the manga. still this is gonna be a weird order of episodes


According to the Goblin Slayer wiki, nope. The Village Defense is in volume 1. Sword Maiden is volume 2. They switched it.

calm down people, this episode adapts from side story manga: goblin slayer brand new day, it's not a filler and nobody said they're gonna skip the village war arc. It's very understandable since they only adapt one volume of the LN, so of course they're gonna add some more material from side story manga.
i predict village war arc will be in last 4 episode of the anime.


They skipped to the Sword Maiden arc. Makes no sense if village war happens after this.

Sword maiden didn't even got VA dude, they just teasing it
i believe the next three episodes is another filler from brand new day

Not exactly... because Brand New Day manga is only adaptation of 4 volume of the LN - which is a collection of side stories.

It makes sense in many ways the village war arc makes for a better climax then the sword maiden arc.

Seems that they decided to use the subplot of the daily life of rookie adventurers in the side story Goblin Slayer Brand New Day. Quite a nice change of pace for the monster killing variety since the shows been killing goblin since episode 1.

Some side characters gets fleshed out and the was gold to see Witch's hidden inventory between her cleavage lol

For any Manga and LN readers, don't panic for the skip of the latter part of Vol 1 and jump straight to Vol 2 since it should a deliberate move from White Fox. The climax of Vol 1 is most probably in the season finale since the Climax of Vol 1 suits better to end the series than Vol 2.

So we watched a kid get his sword back and some shithead try to lie his way through his promotion exam. That's great and all, but I want to see some goblins. That's why I'm watching this show. And while I'm on that train of thought, it was pretty funny when GS assumed the receptionist was going to tell him about a goblin-related mission, then turned around to leave when she said it wasn't lol.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

it would be nice if they slip in a side story once every arc

let’s just hope they switch the arc to Sword Maiden first then the Village War for the final episode.

because really, the end of Village War arc can become a pretty good way ending of the series rather than Sword Maiden arc, at least in the manga.

just wait for the next week then, too early to jump into conclusions. Since the beginning i always believe this anime wouldn't get to vol 2 bc SM didn't got VA. She's a key people, too weird if they didn't announce her VA.

I wonder why. Did Sword Maiden appeared in the radio drama? If she did maybe White Fox would just use her VA...

The title for next episode is Goblin Slayer in the Water Town so I doubt they're going to adapt fillers instead jumping straight to Vol. 2. Makes me wonder will White Fox include
in next episode.

Get fucked White Fox. Terrible switching to CG for no reason is already bad enough but these motherfuckers didn't even make character model for GS without the armour. He was supposed to be walking around in regular clothes for the most of the day. Why add some noobs from a side story (and botch it anyway) instead of following the main story...

Also, what the hell was with that stupid and cheerful music when GS and Priestess were talking about kids from the first episode dying... How the hell was that other priestess feeling the warmth of the candle while it's in a lantern... What happened to the human sized bug and why is the priestess using sword instead of staff...

But most importantly, what the actual fuck happened to defending the farm? They even showed goblin lord at the end of the last episode, what happened to all that?

These garbage studio and staff are really hell bent on making a terrible adaptation. For fucks sake, couldn't someone competent get this production...

Jesus christ what a terrible episode. And i usually defend the series but...what the hell? They did so many cuts, animation and art dropped to the minimum, Mixed a side story from brand new day and skipped over an entire arc?

Also why they skipped the flashback and avoided to show any part that gave some insight on the main character?

If you are interested in the series read the manga or the novel because with this episode i can confirm the adaptation level is below average

So because they skipped the Goblin Lord arc, we wont get to see

-GS requesting help from all the adventurers
-Guild Girl offering 1 gold each goblin head just so people would help GS. Shows how much she likes him.
-A cool war of adventurers against thousands of goblins, wolf rider goblins and goblin brutes.
-People starting to respect GS
-GS and priestess vs Goblin Lord
-Flashbacks of the Goblin Lord showing why adventurers SHOULDNT let baby goblins live.
-How evolution of goblins happen if you let one go
-GS saying "I guess I want to become an adventurer" in the after victory party, everybody having fun.
-GS taking of his helmet and everybody drooling over him. Cuz he is handsome af.
-And WE WONT BE ABLE TO SEE GS SMILE

Already got flag from before episode. The manga portray orcbolg obsession to the extreme better, the anime did it but it felt weaker. A lot of tiny important bit skipped, how a lot of villager and advnturer didnt recognize him without his helmet, interaction with cowgirl which really important on add bit more to orcbolg obssesion, and it suppose to show some relaxing moment for him.

The defense arc is great and yet they skip it, orcbolg open up to ask help, his willing to protect his girl, recognition from other people that he actually deserve, how the small goblin develop, and more.

If they decide to switch the arc, then they need to do something to make it work.
(Its a possibility, but honestly i doubt it)
Edit : although i could see it ending with him gaining recognition. And it actually make a good ending.

For anime watcher view, the episode probably fine for them, aside from the switching 2d and 3d.

Well if they're going to skip the village arc, I at least hope they get to the room. If they do animate it the village arc after, I guess it might give you a better impression of certain goblins that were killed relatively easy during the village arc.

Quality line in this episode: "they do die when I hit them really hard with it."

Wow this episode focused receptionist, she is for sure the best girl, her reaction about Goblin Slayer was awesome, her blushing was cute! And she admitted that she likes Goblin Slayer!

Congratz to Onna for promotion!

High elf asking to Goblin Slayer to join in next mission was cute!

Witch always showing his hot side, but i think the candle she given to the guy saved his life!

Goblin got a new mission from and "important person", looks like that, she was mensioned by receptionist's partner, i am curious about her!

An interesting episode that while not featuring any large battles involving GS and party did well in showing the life that other adventurers face. To think that lizardman fell in love with cheese though. The elf's attitude towards GS sure has changed substantially. The promotion meeting was more intense than i expected. To think that thief had the nerve to attack Jou though. But her harrying of him as well as her facing down the thiefs anger with her calmness was impressive. So she has a crush on the GS huh. On a side note its nice that the warrior and his partner was able to get back his sword. Looks like next episode will introduce the famous sword maiden.

Ok as a fan of the manga, this ep was just bad. The whole journey with the newbs was anime original, they pretty much shoved the promotional ch from much later in between, cut a lot of bonding time with cow girl, and seem to be rushing straight to the sword maiden arc that’s currently running. If that’s the case, they’re skipping my favorite part of the manga so far: the village defense with the guild.


It's not anime original, it's from Brand New Day manga / Volume 4 LN

As a person who is greatly disgusted by cockroaches, this episode made me tremble in fear. At least the porcelain adventurer recovered his sword, so something is something.
So that famous sword maiden that always appears gang-raped by goblins in pixiv's fanarts is going to be properly presented next episode. Want to see what's all the hype about her.

Also recepcionist-chan is best girl. Goblin Slayer is so lucky to have her in his harem.

So:
- 3 different girls blushing for the protagonist in the same episode, already a pseudo-harem for a guy whose face is not even revealed. These guys know what the audience wants.
- More fanservice. Yeah just zoom on the girl's tits whenever you can.
- Story of two characters we probably won't see again and they look like generic NPCs.
- Another episode wasted on expositive dialogue.
- More one-liners from GS.
- Art is even worse than previous episodes, even if a big part of this episode was featuring two guys on a cave hunting rats...

I could say this adaptation is somehow a bit obsessed with the manga source material rather than the LN. This episode is actually filler for vol 4 of the LN but also have been serialized as a side story compilatio manga. It seems white fox is winded what they should choose to adapt. The main manga didn’t suffer from this bad pacing and almost every chapter will involve goblin slaying.

since that whole arc was just 3 of the members going around raping people in the Capital non stop

If you would take a shot every time someone says "goblin", you would be dead before the episode is over.

That the Priestess got promoted is nice. And they nailed the scene with the little shit.
