| Goblin Slayer is the most "let's skip the small talk and get to business" character I've seen in a while. Goblins are doomed with him around. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Guess what this episode was about?? Exactly, it's about slaying some good ol' goblins. But they are getting smarter really quick and start to learn faster through another force... |
 |
| Best episode so far. (Previous one was the worst episode ... too boring.) I guess episodes like the previous one are okay for world building. (It showed how the noobs act and how the system with promotion in the guild works.) Best is the action. And with the nice party and the interaction between the chars ... it just works fine - even without a deep plot. I'm even getting used to the Slayer (worst char for me so far). This episode his fixation on goblins was really hilarious ... the "that's not a goblin" on that water dragon ... funny. Dialogues between the main party members are fun as well - even outside the action if they are just in the inn/pub. Only the episodes with slayer + noobs only/mainly (like episode 5) were a bit boring. I guess the scene they omitted is something from the past of the Slayer which they can just show later without it breaking the plot (since there isn't any real deep plot so far)? I like how Slay is different from the others. Reminds me of KonoSuba where the main also was different. Cause he was the only normal person. Here it is a bit the opposite ... still pretty skilled but Slayer is not "normal". Priestess girl seems the most composed and is learning a lot. I loved how she used the protection spell on her own and with nice timing. Best fantasy show I'm currently watching. And even compared to others overall/this year on top ... at least an 8/10 (grade B / "good" in my system) should be safe for now. And that even without much deep plot ... When I saw the chars listed with their class only (instead of a name) I thought it might be boring and annoying chars. And only action ... I was a fool. I'm ashamed I thought so .... just to realized that the chars are the main strength so far. (The party around Slayer ... and now that I get used to him even Slayer - who is fun to watch with his fixation on goblins. The noobs ocassionally shown ... I don't care about them.) |

 |
| Decent episode, the whole time watching felt that it was rushed, don't remember many details from manga, but thought that something wasn't right. Not a fan of comedy moments, really too many of them. |
 |
| Goblin slayer is as funny as ever in this episode, not to mention the animation was really good this episode. |
| Another enjoyable romp. This show is a hidden gem. |
| Holy,.. m-i-c-h-a-e-l said: Will someone please remind me why the side characters are prohibiting Goblin Slayer from using fire/water/poison? Or are these limitations being used for no reason besides plot purposes to make things "more challenging?" They're 'limitters', the party members get more exp. this way. |

| I love how the party is casual towards Goblin slayer, but why do they not want him to use Water, fire or poison though? Anyways, this episode was so good that I almost forgot that it was less than 24mins. That giant goblin will seem to give Goblin slayer a tough time, I can't wait for him to encounter it. I wonder who taught those goblins to use boats? |

DonTrumpolino said: "Temple of Law"? Really? Couldn't they go with something that has a bit more characters, like "Place of righteousness and bewbs"? Seriously this story is going circles, just cut to the rapes and goblin-kebaps already. Would at least save everyone a lot of time... Temple of Law is a reference to the D&D's Aligement System. Clearly the being that they pray has a Law aligement.  |

| So Goblin Slayer is slaying goblins again with the priestess, elf, dwarf and lizardman. A fun little party if you ask me. Goblin Slayer stating the obvious just cracks me up. That swamp dragon looked pretty cool, just curious how a creature of that size can stay in those sewers unnoticed, it looked massive. Sword Maiden is cute, I wonder why she has her eyes covered. Looking forward to see more of her. |
 |
| Goblin Slayer really just want to skip all the cutscene and go straight to action nice action too. Goblin Slayer really slaying out there with Scaly and with that introduction of the Heroine. i dunno where will this adaptation going to be. i hope white fox do this just to make the series more unpredictable |
 |
| I'm actually enjoying this series more than I thought. His obessession with Goblins is funny in a certain way. |
| Mehhhhhhhhhhh ~.~ |
 |
| This show is barely dark anymore, its 75% Comedy and 15% "Gore" and 15% "Action" what kind of joke is this? a Moe version of the child of Overlord and Berserk? lmao |

tavcat said: Can anyone tell me why that elf & the priest prohibit goblin slayer to not using water, fire, & poison? The Water Town is built on an old sewer system. Using fire or diverting water to drown goblins maybe catastrophic since there's no knowing how much the sewer can withstand and may in turn sink the town above. Using poison is a big No No since the poison might find its way to the water source. You see Goblin Slayer suffered from tunnel vision when it comes to goblins, and Elf find cheesing your encounter with enemy to be not so adventure-ish, so yeah... |
Arugustor said: We got sword maiden now and looks like the studio is going to keep the face reveal to the last episode but I have a serious question if face reveal is going to be the finale what are they going to do about the healing part is he going to be all naked with just his helmet Another boss fight coming up and he is big and the dice rolling sound after knowing what it means it gives me eerie feeling Goblins on a boat looks funny I wish one of the goblins said yaar The halo franchise did the same sort of thing. Showed him naked but the face remained obscure as it was his back faced the screen |
 |
| Anyone distracted by the CGI. I just overlook it. It was a nice touch with Maiden being a representation of justice; blindfolded, holding a sword with the handle area being a weighing scale. Anyway, this anime has mellowed out hard... It feels like there's a growing harem for a guy who's face has not been seeb; and opening was so "derpy?" (Derpy, is that a word... I think it means idiotic). What the fuq. Let's see what next week brings |

| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| SPOILER FREE (Just talking the order chosen and not the story itself) What is the reason to implement the heroine now ? She has no chance to appear again at all because the anime is supposed to cover 2 volumes of the Light Novel, and if it's not the case, that means they really skipped the "Farm defense" Arc which is probably the best arc in terms of fighting scenes, characters development and progression of the plot. This is just stupid, the only reason I see why they put her at such moment is because they already planned a second season even before the anime got released. OKAY from the sucess the serie got, for sure they can make a second season, but knowing how White Fox is usually skeptical about making second season, it kinda shocks me. (S;G took 7/3 years for a second season, and Re:Zero fanbase is still waiting and begging for one) |

Okay then, I just hope that tittle alone is enough to settle the tone of an episode, I'll know when next Saturday comes, It may be better than what he had today. |

| "I welcome you from the bottom of my heart." "So, where are the goblins ?" What a charming guy. |

| Yeah right.. after tired to be a GOD.. Haruhi try to become a hero and fucked up that horny skeleton. |
| Now Loading..... |
| "The hero defeated the demon lord!" "Who cares? Let's kill some goblins." Based Goblin Slayer. Sword Maiden has a black blindfold. What is with characters having black blindfolds nowadays? "I can't guarantee that I will save the town, but I'm gonna kill some goblins." Straight to the point hehe. For a second, when Goblin Slayer and Lizardman jumped on the boat, I thought they were going to sink it themselves lol. This group of five reminds me of a Tales of Party. All of them contribute to the fight, and that's cool. "Is that a goblin? That's not a goblin." Lol. No fire or poison. Fine, I'll use the Giant sewer alligator. Well the goblins look like they are adapting, so that means someone is definitely leading them. Doesn't sound good. |
 |
| Haruhi got tired waiting season 3 so she went to GS for an appearance xD Shrine Maiden welcoming the adventurers, then GS on his priorities xD. So the goblins are adapting well that they learned making ship/boat, though it seems like they're didn't learned it by themselves, maybe someone is behind this pulling strings. |
 |
| First, swamp dragon is what I am going to call alligators from here on (I live in Florida lol). I am really enjoying the growing party dynamics. They seem to really work well together. The goblins made me think of Vikings on their longboats instead of pirates, either way it was pretty metal. Back to the "dragon", I am going to possibly use that cast light on monster trick in future tabletop games lmao. |
| Goblin Slayer is so OP, he went beyond and appeared in CG in this scene: Also, Sword Maiden is fawkin' hawt. I bet she's good at handling all kinds of swords. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) LOL at GS saying that the giant croc wasn't a goblin and elf girl being the straight man in the series but still bantering with the dwarf. I love the unexpected comedy. |
| 臭い- |
| Damn Goblin Slayer kicked some serious ass . Bruh looked like he learned instant transmission from Goku (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง |
| I like it. Action-packed episode. "Goblin boats", sounds like a ride in a theme park. Also HEA wants to feed dwarf to the croc. :D They go to the temple, meet the archbishop... but they have to sit on the floor? Not a single chair in that rich looking building? The hero girl looks like Haruhi Suzumiya. |

| The Sword Maiden's look kinda reminded me of Nier Automata's 2B, but other than that comparison, she was pretty nice to Goblin Slayer's group, although Goblin Slayer still spoke to her bluntly, as usual, lol. The second half of the episode within the sewer system was thrilling. It had plenty of good quality animation that I hope we see again for the rest of the series and, of course, goblins on the ships, with one dressed like a pirate, was amusing as hell. Still, the sewer alligator did a good chunk of the killing too and it was a smart move of the group to use the light to draw the goblins to the alligator, for guaranteed certain death. =) However, despite their good success, the source of the goblins in the sewer remains and one of them looks to be huge, just like the orge from before. I hope Goblin Slayer and his comrades fight that huge goblin next week. =D |
| The first part, as far as I'm concerned, could not include it, however, I liked the narrative, even if the fanservice starts to give me on the nerves and the secondary characters are a bit too quiet and joking if we consider the attitude of the main character. Too bad that the quality of the drawings and backgrounds are so mediocre. |
 |
| Holy shit. Goblin Slayer legit gives no fucks about anything but goblins. This man has to be the most souless character I've seen since I watched Black Clover. He was triggering everybody this week lol. I like whenever we get close-ups on high elf and the priestess lips. I'm sure others noticed that. |
