Went down a little rabbit hole of seeing reactions of people after the first episode and it's hilarious. Several big AniTubers calling it disgusting and a lot of people acting like it should be banned and removed from Crunchyroll. Not fair I got to miss it.

Yeah it was crazy, and the fact that a lot of people stopped at the first episode and started complaining, don’t even realize that the anime tames out(interesting fact: this anime could have won anime of the year on Crunchyroll, but didn’t get nominated because of the controversy, had highest ratings and viewer ship).

I liked the show but I wouldn't pick it for Anime of the Year. That said, after this years Mushoku Tensei snub, it's pretty obvious the are affected by the content an Anime shows.

Pretty funny stuff. Reminds me of the whole Shield Hero controversy because of the whole, "Shield Hero got Amber Heard by the Princess" plot. Goblin Slayer still a fire show though. Basically, take Doom Slayer in a medieval setting, and I'm satisfied with it.

It depends but it’s mainly the West, Japan doesn’t really care about what the west says. The west (mainly SJWs) have a tendency of trying to cancel animes, bash mangakas, or do weird stuff.

Good to know because it’s hard to keep up with all that. As long as Japan doesn’t let the screeching influence them too much that’s all I care about. There’s a reason why they put ratings and warnings on stuff, sensitive people should pay attention to them.

Actually controversy and Anime/Manga is very common in Japan. Only recently there was a controversy around Tawawa on Monday manga, people in Japan were pissed a manga like that was being advertised. There's also been several movements to ban loli's.

You didn't miss out on much. And it’s not like there's no shitty controversy and c tier drama going on every other season.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

That scene in goblin slayer wasn’t that crazy. Could you imagine if A Kite was made today? People would have meltdowns because that had some rough scenes.

Yeah I heard about that, something where the UN was upset too. As far as lolis they aren’t my thing but if people like that stuff so what, it should be allowed to exist. To each their own.

I never watched the anime but I did eventually read the manga. The whole community was going wild over the first episode for this show. There were so many memes about it that it was the talk of the season.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Kite is classified as hentai comparing it to regular anime is irrelevant and pointless. Besides it's OVA, which means it wasn't shown on TV in Japan. I know you like being edgy but be careful what you cut.

What’s that supposed to even mean? I’m comparing controversies. Of course that wasn’t shown on TV but it still was very controversial. Not trying to be edgy just making a point.

Any proof of it's controversial as you are claiming? Or do you not understand what hentai means?

Yeah let me go dig that up for you from 20 years ago. Also the censored version was not hentai but still with the implied scenes stirred controversy as well. I’ll look that up once you create a real account coward

It definitely does happen, but it’s not as common as it is in the west. There has been multiple times when controversy has happened in Japan.

Essentially this. Pretty sure the Redo of Healer of controversy was just the same thing but amplified by factors. There's always that LNshit/isekaitrash adaptation every year that causes people to act retarded.


It was well known what Redo of Healer was before it aired, so the backlash wasn't that bad. Goblin Slayer from what I can tell was more of a shock for people, plus it was highly anticipated so had a lot more eyes on it. Goblin Slayer from what I can see definitely got way more attention.

Shield hero as it was intended from the manga predates all that drama, any assumption that it was inspired by it is false. As per the author and fact by a simple timeline.

I have the show an 8 cuz it tackles trauma and it’s effects which not many shows talk about. Like how many shows have u seen when a character literally pisses themselves out of fear. This type of stuff grounds the world in my opinion. Also makes death of bad guys more satisfying.

Also also these are the same people who say that the rape that happens in berserk is an important part of the world building (I love berserk btw). But bash on a less popular IP like Goblin Slayer.

Now if it was Redo of healer... well. That’s an entirely different case I think u know why.

I hated it cuz you would get flamed for liking the show. I remember people calling fans of the show people who support rape or somebullshit. They dont realize fans of the show dont like the rape scenes, theyre put there to demonize the antagonists so you hate them more and have an understanding why Goblin Slayer wants to wipe these creatures off the face of the earth. Its a pretty good show to watch when I take a break from berserk and I’m happy we got more dark fantasy anime

I'm rewatching it, and currently rewatching epsiode 1. I forgot how completely brutal this first episode was lmao. I forgot completely actually how the community was reacting when this first came out, was just thinking about it and saw this post lul.

At least there's a season 2 announcement which should be good.

Also someone above me said "You got hated for liking this show." Same shit with Redo of the Healer. Except Redo of the Healer was pretty bad.. But still.

You didn't miss out on anything, the same kind of thing happens every season. As is usually the case, the "controversy" was blown out of proportion, and the show itself was just bad. I watched the first episode during Etika's stream (was it a stream? Or was it a reaction he uploaded? Can't remember) and dropped it after that. I recall there being two very vocal groups when this show first came out: people who were upset the show was streaming on Crunchyroll and wanted it to be taken off the platform (which, of course, is stupid), and dumb edgelords who called anyone who didn't like the show "SJWs" - an utterly meaningless term thrown around by those stuck in a juvenile state of mind.

So, being someone who actually didn't like the show from what I had seen, but also being someone who wouldn't harass anyone for liking it, I was left out of this... argument? Between the two groups, I'd have to say the edgelords were worse; saying I thought the show was shit would immediately trigger them and send them into a rabid frenzy, as though they were incapable of imagining any reason one wouldn't like it.

This whole thing happened again with Shield Hero, which I thought was alright, and Redo of Healer, which was much worse. Just complete, utter garbage. I can at least understand why someone may love Goblin Slayer and Shield Hero, but I cannot comprehend what anyone sees in Redo of Healer. A conspiracy theory I have is that no one actually likes Redo of Healer, people just pretend to like it because they think they can trigger people (spoilers: this is fucking stupid and doesn't even achieve their goal, it only makes them look like they have shit taste).
