I missed the priest girl a bit in this episode. Was she even in there? I think at the beginning when he was "recruiting" I waited for her and when the one guy said "we even might be 7" I thought she might pop up to say she wants to join. (But if I remember correctly it switched to the guild girl that told the guild was offering 1 gold coin reward.)

Later with the fights it was more focused on the elf/dwarf/lizard and the side chars that got recruited. (Btw I usually did not like the mage/witch female but this time I liked her - was fun to hear her way of talking and her calm voice during the action.)

So this episode and maybe the next one were the reason for the recap? It was worth it imo
Some nice action going on and a pretty cool ending-scene

Haha the Goblin Lord was looking shook! ༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽
The clash between the Hobs and the veteran adventurers was lit 🔥
and damn that one girl looking like Broly's sister haha

Also i think they handled the Meat shields well, I don't see anyone crying about it being too graphic, Like SAO barely showed some sexual scenes last time and it was an uproar (눈_눈)

Great episode 👌

The action scenes were trash!

Shot composition is horrible here, there were some chop, CG blood, still-images sequences, and this is an important time to have it done right. I have a feeling the last episode is going to be worse when it should feel tense and epic, the Goblin Lord is the most interesting character in the series, but hey, they fucked up every other episode so can trust the studio to mess it up.

Everything is rushed and the voice acting kills the tension. Really, I think this is the only time I have said something like this, for this arc, if you haven't already, just read the manga. Trust me, its definitely better, judging from this episode. Even the scenes of the adventurers butchering the goblins and riders are more epic. Doesn't have that feeling here.

0.1/5

p.s - seems like the studio chickened out and didn't go for the MUH EDGE meat shield scene in its "full glory" as some say, they censored it.


i agree. this adaptation is really bad.
They even fk up the meatshield (why bother showing it if you just gonna blur it)

where is the gore? tense? psychological? everything the manga have they ruined it
and the animation is mediocre at its best

they better be joking and just make this a parody and name it Silver boi and his friends

i think it's better if other studios gets a hold of this. this show went from potential anime of the season to a crowd memefest

Great episode, the number of goblin slain per ep is steady rising toward the end :D. Seeing those guide member in action is really nice.

Does anyone feel confusing watching both Goblin Slayer and Tensei Slime? Though the goblin are different, GS build so much hatred toward goblin, while in tensei slime goblin are nice monster.

Damn, this was a very intense episode!

To be frankly honest, I’m liking the rearranging of arcs to make this the finale of Season 1 because it’s intense and just signs-off at a bang! Goblin Slayer and the Cow Girl conversation at the start of the episode sure was saddening to listen to. Goblin Slayer comes in and says, “Leave!”, took me by surprise too but he’s known for being blunt when the situation arises so I liked that deliberate touch. Cow Girl’s uncle finally admits to hating Goblin Slayer and I honestly would like to know more about why, minute implications have been made but nothing too profound and solid as of yet. Fast forward and we see Goblin Slayer asking for help from fellow Adventurers, damn the situation must’ve been very dire indeed! Him offering all of his belongings and such, except for life, and then the reply from the fellow Adventurers was nice to see, it just shows that the Guild is like a big family more than anything albeit being a little cheesy and smooth.
As for the whole fight, it was intense, gore and very eventful. Always appreciate these kind of battles which involve planning and tactics at its very finest. Leave it to the Goblin Slayer. Goblins sure used an underhanded tactic this time using the females as shield, I’m glad Goblin Slayer got that area covered by predicting accurately beforehand. But of course, it wasn’t going to be that easy. Goblin Champions, Riders and finally the Goblin King sure make up a formidable force. I’m a little worried for Goblin Slayer taking on the Goblin King himself but the way he walked up to the King and petrified him was incredibly astonishing and hype-worthy!

I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what the next finale episode has in store for us!

It's annoying when people say GS is trash. The same people have no problem seeing multiple romance anime with basically the same love concept between two people. The plot may be different but the love is the same for almost every anime and people don't see fault in such animes?

GS is not a hero. He's a simple village guy a generic simple character . He has a generic life . That's the whole point of GS. He is a small part of the world he's in. It's like he's a small character from Sao. So of course the story will be simple . Cause that's exactly the case for GS

Other anime have op heros badass heros harem filled heros. And the funny thing is these anime number in the hundreds maybe even more. And yet people are not annoyed by this same repetitive animes only with different plot. But these guys lock goblin slayer for being different????



GS himself told lancer he can't die cause she would cry over it. He may have girls like him but he doesn't care about it. He only cares to rid his world if goblins which is like saying destroying all mosquitoes in the real world.

It may sound funny but if all mosquitoes are killed then millions of people will not die every year by malaria dengue etc. What he is doing is nothing special but if he succeeds then he can rid the wor

It may sound funny but if all mosquitoes are killed then millions of people will not die every year by malaria dengue etc. What he is doing is nothing special but if he succeeds then he can rid the world of goblin brutality. And that's worth it.


People who don't understand this simple thing and instead find every reason to humiliate GS can run to their op main characters and harem train animes and repetitive romance trash anime.


Best example for repitive romance is amagami seiren and bunny girl.


All three have a MC but he's different. All has 4 or 5 girls. And in 3 episodes he loves one girl. After that the arc ends and he goes for another girl. This all happened in alternate times so the girls r always new to fall in love with. ( Haven't seen bunny girl but I believe it is like this?)

So what I am saying is. GS is a different anime it's not about saving the world , op heros and such. It's just about the daily routine of a simple man who only kills goblins. People r also saying the characters have o development. Cause it's based on tabletop RPG. Is it that hard to see that? In those RPGs the players should make stories for the character. Hence the names in GS.


The episode was great. Cow girl cried and GS actually admitted he's not op. He even went to the guild to ask for help. The way the people were swayed to help him was great but I'm truth nearly all of them had a tiny feel for GS. Like he's the GS if he dies it'll be no goblin slaying so it'll be bad and all.


What more story are the people asking? I can never know. The story so far is good . It's different to other animes and that's great. As long as GS doesn't follow his harem train like kirito does . Then GS will be good( however for the sake of future generations he will need to have kids to carry his duty. So I can see him marrying one girl for this task) . If they take that as far as a harem. Then this anime would've failed :( . Fanservice is hard enough . Harem.is best avoided . Besides that GS is a great anime

And there's no goblin lord POV so we didn't get his back story which is more interesting than the protagonist lol

And that witch girl, ugh the way she speaks became unbearable for me smh at least it was tolerable in the first few episodes but now ugh pweh, what happened to her, did she get some kind of dieses while prostituting coz that's definitely her side job

Did not expect that just one drink is enough payment for Spear Man. He's still a good person after all.

Guild Girl with really worried face when GS is begging for help in the guild. She really cares about him.

GS friends... priestess, dwarf, lizard, and elf would help of course.

However, it's still not enough if only Spear Man and GS friends help. The help of many more adventurers still needed to overcome 100+ goblins. Guild Girl helped by posting the quest with GOLD for every gob killed.

Finally here!
As someone who read the manga, I find the first part (especially on Goblin Slayer's request scene) better in the anime. Goblin Slayer bowing his head to ask for help then was kinda shrugged off was kinda sad. Good thing the Guild was supportive (plot convenience! XD). Lancer was a good dude as compared to others who only joined coz there's "money" ---- well it can't be helped coz they're not "heroes".

What an adorable smile from Guild Girl! ^_^



For the second part (the goblin slaying), I find the manga's version better but that doesn't mean I didn't like the anime's version. The scene with the meat shields was kinda underwhelming though I was expecting it coz it's a TV anime and have to be "safe" as much as possible.

Looking forward to the finale!

nice, more trash talk from your part, also what did you want?
obviously the would censore the meat shield and would be uncensored in the blu-rays
Trash talk? You mean facts right? Goblin Slayer is irrelevant now because of the reasons I have been saying since the start. Hardly anyone gives a shit except for the hardcore fans. Look at the activity here and on Reddit for Goblin Slayer, its dropped so much. This part of the story is way better in the manga.

They couldn't show the same skeevy details like from episode 1, this is probably why they recapped as well. Ensuring there would be no backlash. Censoring it didn't take away the impact of the meat shields, and if they did the same to the little scene in episode 1, they wouldn't have been called out for using cheap shock value to draw in some horny teens. Those gratuitous details were added in to make a scene artificially darker but the censorship here proved such details do not need to be added in to show how unforgiving this world can be or the vilification of the goblins.
Congratulations for being most generic weeb elitist.

Since Lancer joined to help, I think his witch friend would automatically come as well even with no money offered to her. However, they are not enough.. so it's important to get the help of the others too. Can't blame the adventurers... this is work that they could lose their lives doing, and indeed a few lost their lives. The money is needed as additional motivation.

Agreed that Guild Girl smile is adorable. ^^

The beginning had made me fear another dull and inconclusive episode, in some ways it was so: a little ridiculous at first, as he recovered something, even if the clash with the goblins was not the best as choreography and timing, everything seemed disconnected and not a whole one. Characters that do not improve that much, still remaining in some ways anonymous.

It looks like the re-arrangement of the arcs is already paying off, as this episode was worth the extra week of waiting for. It was really good. =)

Goblin Slayer knew that he wouldn't be able to take on this massive hoard of goblins alone and his childhood friend was definitely upset and worried about what could possibly happen as well. So Goblin Slayer went to the guild and asked for all of the adventurers, regardless of rank, for their help. Slowly, but surely and with the help from a certain receptionist's gold reward for each goblin slayed, the whole adventurers rallied with Goblin Slayer's request.

As expected, the goblins' tactics of using meat shields was vile of them, but thankfully they were taken out easily and the the girls used as shields were rescued.

The whole tactical plan from Goblin Slayer worked as a treat, with the adventurers having no issues with the goblins so far. With the arrival of the goblin champions, things will gt tougher.

As for Goblin Slayer himself, he went after the goblin lord and I must say, Goblin Slayer looked very detailed and menacing at the end of the episode. I like it! ^_^

The last episode should be hype. The action scenes were decently animated, but I'm hoping that White Fox pours in more resources for the last episode. I'm looking forward to it. =D

This was a real solid episode, and so far I can already tell that this arc will work much better as an anime ending than the Water Town arc would have done. Besides that, it was first nice to see Goblin Slayer admit that he needed help this time, and to then see the other adventurers show some real support for him after many of them have spent the entire show deriding him. Some solid battle tactics and a great battle then followed, and ending on that shot of Goblin Slayer coming out of the shadows with the glowing eye was great.

Episode 11 offers probably the worst set piece preparation the series had so far. Very rushed and without the qualities that make the series set pieces so good. We see strategies and planning after the thing is said and done - lame.

Noblebright can be very entertaining, but not when you focus on all the weaknesses the writing has.

They'll probably show the Goblin Lord's backstory next episode to give context to how he became one and to hammer down the fact that what Goblin Slayer did in the first episode by killing those goblin babies was the correct decision. Though if they keep him with no dialogue then that'd be a pretty weird decision.

GOD SO I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED

Anyway, even though I get the appeal of the anime it's just incredibly boring to me. Even in this episode, I didn't feel any hype, I was just... bored with the so called "action".
I only appreciated the scene when GS bowed and asked for help, I actually like the guy but everything else sucks. The ideas behind the MC are not bad at all but it could have been so much better if we changed.. a hell of a lot of things.
From what I heard the manga is way better but the anime didn't make me feel like reading it..
