It's a damn goblin invasion. Honestly, this episode gives the idea that goblin mobs are no joke when they come all attacking at once.

Fran is quite a champ for taking on goblins though. She isn't the best warrior but Fran makes quite an impression. And lol, the bath fan service. Master becoming conscious of the opposite sex? Ha

Fran owned the goblins pretty nicely. Good job, girl!

Also, interesting info dump about those gods.

Now it's time for the big boss. I can't wait for the next episode!

The terrifying goblin stampede...that pushes Fran to become stronger than she could ever be, she's a certified Goblin Slayer Killer.

Garrus wasn't surprised that Fran was trying to subdue the goblins, but didn't think that she would go THIS far to subdue the stampede right at its core of a man-made nest looking like the entrance to a dungeon. The situation is grave enough for guildmaster Klimt to declare an emergency and trigger the best adventurers alongside D-rank Donadrond to subdue this stampede.

The God of Chaos spawns dungeons out of nowhere, and rewards adventurers for their persistence should they survive, and this is looking to be no different. But before that, Fran would take a bath to purify herself, and taking Teacher with her for a cleanse, they really need it. Certainly a surprise seeing Nell in the bath also, providing more infodump for the monsters that they see now being fragments of the former God.

Teacher gets Garrus's new scabbard for their dungeon debut on the goblin stampede subjugation, which is lead by Donadrond to defeat both goblin king and queen, plus the dungeon master. Unfortunately, the goblins' sudden attack disseminates the team in complete disarray, and both Fran and Teacher take things into their own account, firing a path into the goblin dungeon.

Steal all the glory, Fran.

While everyone is on the conventional weapon fighting, Fran is casting fireball.

Fran is unimpeachably cute and deserves all of the praise and Teacher's devotion.
I was leery of a sword isekai, but I'm definitely along for the ride this season.
I enjoy the momentum of the story, it seems slow and quick at the same time.
I have a feeling I'll be binging this one more than once after it has been released as a full season.

The only thing i'm bummed out about is that Fran isn't getting her dark cloak like in the LN/Manga and Opening. I can only imagine it was too much work to animate, and they had to change it after being done with the opening.

Otherwise, this is a great adaptation on all fronts. Loved her moment before the opening.

I don't disagree, but i'd say they've done a good job making the goblins feel like they're more than just a walking bag of XP.
Tons of different designs, adventurers are getting hurt, cooperation between gobs, magic, ranged attacks.

Great episode.

Fran is progressing at a fast pace. She's becoming more and more strong. It's kinda surprising to see her become that strong. The sword can help her to some extent but at the end it's her who has to wield it. She's getting that invaluable experience required to become strong by slaying all those goblins. Still goblins are the lowest of lowest mobs, it's about time we got to see her fight some boss.

Looking forward to next episode.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

Goblin Slayer earned the title after a year of killing goblins.
Fran only needed a day to ear the title, hah!

Fran’s bravery and tenacity knows no bounds. This episode was really fascinating, the concept of dungeons and goblin stampedes was explained really well. But more than anything, seeing Fran acting so cute was just bliss. Also, that bath scene lol.

Goblin Slayer has some competition as she has killed over 100 goblins reaching level 12. So the world is not just swords and magic, but various gods exist. A dungeon has appeared and Fran has set off to clear it by slaying the Goblin King and Queen and beating the Dungeon Master.

Well the bathing scene was a bit shortened compared to the manga.
Lemme spare you the details, its chapter 9 in the manga ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You can see all those girls in their UNCENSORED glory, excluding Fran ofc. Only headpats for Fran.

Fran needs to learn that she will ALWAYS be weak until she learns that she can't fight entirely alone
Even Goblin Slayer knew that
Until she has trusted allies (beyond Teacher and Nell) she can't fight full out

Nice that Fran was able to get some downtime, even if it was only a little.
The way that its introduced us to these "dungeons" I just hope it won't be an easy thing for her to defeat.
Seeing a challenge and her being able to overcome it and get much stronger would make her journey to evolving much better.
Also thinking that I wouldn't mind starting to read this again, but after this season has aired of course.

This reminds me a lot of berserk, i know there's a lot of differences. But the heavy sword, the overwhelming numbers of enemies, the massacre scene in the op, and a relic with weird face. There is a lot of similarity. Well doesn't really matter anyway.

The best thing on this episode is seeing shisho switching from being a parent to an actual teacher to fran. Instead of being protective and keep her safe, he let fran grow on her own and push her limits. It's starting to feel more like master-disciple relationship now.

I'm not sure, I can't quite make out the overarching storyline yet but I feel like I'm getting there, it's kind of beginning to make some sense. And the concept of traveling different worlds through books is interesting. So far (4 episodes in) I'd say the 6.5 rating is justified. Although I'm yet to see that girls love stuff that was promised to me by the description tag lol

Calm down you spaz, I don't know what part of the world you're from, but in America it's not normal for an adult male to bathe with a 13 year old girl. Ironically, you're the one oversexualizing a "KID" here, because it was a completely tame bathing scene all things considered, other than you freaking out about the fact he's embarrassed to have been dragged along to the women's bath.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

They show Fran, completely naked, from several revealing angles, it hardly seems to matter whether they show nipples at that point.

The anime had a lot more censorship.

you have point there, but in my childhood me and my sister were getting scrubbed till the age of like 12-14. And it seemed like the most normal thing in the World.
But where you are correct is that i forgot the place where she wanted to drag him. Into the womens bath.
Which couldve been the reason why he blushed.
Sorry if i offended you, but the Trend of putting kids everywhere in manga and anime is getting bigger and bigger, which is god damn annoying. Like this show has such a good premise, but why did it have to be a dumb kid.

Ok this is just straight up bullshit, like i dont even remember that beeing so prevelant, but if it was then it proves my point that the author is oversexualizing a kid. Why do isekais always have to have the trope of lolis and slaves. f****** hell
