Tomimi said: You aren't the writer, you don't get to choose who lives or who dies. lmao wut? the fuck are you on about? I just don't like it when a character is so clearly plot armored that it removes basically any tension from the scene. Like who the fuck cares if the other characters die, they're expendable anyway, but I clearly don't have to worry about the only character with a detailed character design dying. Not every character deserves airtime just like how Eren's parents on AoT or Edward Elric's mom from FMA, They had less than 5 mins of airtime but they served its purpose. lol something tells me that these characters won't have as much of an impact on the priest girl as Ed and Al's mom had on them. Character death can be a great way to create drama for other characters and further develop them, but the way the show set the characters up, I highly doubt they will do that in any substantial way. You see, Ed and Al's mom is already dead when the series starts, and we get to know her (and therefore, her relationship with her sons) through flashbacks that further develop Ed and Al. If the series had just started with their mom dying, it would be no where near as effective because we wouldn't even know who Ed and Al are by that point. That's essentially what this show would be doing if they tried to use the deaths of these characters to develop the priest girl. Just follow the damn story its the first episode its meant to be an introduction to the series. If you're already looking at flaws from the first episode you wont enjoy this anime. I'm lost. On one hand it sounds like you're telling me not to criticize the show because there's only one episode, but then you tell me not to watch it because if I already don't like the first episode then I won't like the rest of it (meaning my criticisms would carry through the series, refuting your first point). |

Psyotic said: Except those characters are basically always inconsequential and don't actually receive any screen time. Like I said, if you're going to have a band of characters be put in mortal danger and the only one who survives is the one who obviously has a main character art design, then it makes any tension feel totally artificial because you know that character isn't going to die. Not my fault if you're too much of a brainlet to wrap your head around that idea. I think the point you're trying to go for here is that you shouldn't criticize a fundamental aspect of something, but if that were the case then this argument doesn't make any sense. Like, you do know that not all yaoi anime have gay sex, right? lmao nah. If I see a show do something stupid, I'm going to say it's stupid. This isn't something that is impossible to change, because I've seen shows do this same shit but way better. Holy shit you expect tension in anime? Watch more anime. In the end there is none. You are just shitposting since your complains won't change anything.

joe_g7 said: LunaUri said: The title says it all, it's about slaying goblins. Every mission is about them, and as the series goes on, so do the difficulties of their missions.What is the focus of the series then? The plot to me: it was just people are tortured & raped by depraved goblins & then a badass dude comes in & wipes them all out. Is there a point other than that? Manga readers on this forum even admit that it’s that (adnauseum) & to drop it if you don’t want to see that in every episode... If you like this anime, there’s a comic about people who are posessed & do the worst shit humanly imaginable: it’s called Crossed. I like series that are more than grotesque takes on the worst things imaginable. I guess this series is schlock-fest that I don’t find entertaining, because of there being no resolve to evil other than hacking an entire race of creatures to pieces. |

"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Damn, fourteen pages in this thread? I wanted to read through this thread, but I guess that's not happening anymore. Anyway Goblin rape = 5/5 episode. |
 What's the difference? |
MrAwesome2018 said: Sooo, the only quests they ever gonna do is slaying goblins? That's the focal point -- but remember that goblins have some level of moderate intelligence, so they tend to ally themselves with stronger creatures for the sake of survival/predation. |

| Is "if you dislike the rape scenes in Goblin Slayer then you're an SJW" going to be the next "SJWS ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGED AND TRIGGERED BY DOOM ETERNAL"? I mean we get it, yeah Goblin Slayer is an edgy and epik cool anime and you're an edgy and epic big boy for liking it, but that doesn't mean everyone else has to like it or be on board with the dark themes. |

Dunno, giving low reviews because you like dislike something is fine but if you hate romance and rate things bad for being romance you're just being silly. The series is dark and hating it for what it is just silly. Some things are just a matter of taste. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons to criticize it other than that though. Anyway, this series has a damn good tone. That coupled with the sjw rage makes it a must watch. |

The average rating right now is 7.99 which is actually quite good imo for a series that has only just started. It seems like most people think it's at least decent (myself included). What I'm referring to about the Doom Eternal comparison is that I worry there's going to be a small minority of "snowflakes" overreacting about a minor aspect they dislike and then another vocal minority overreacting to them overreacting, and it'll be a negative spiral of shitflinging and nonsense. |

The big anime youtubers are getting pretty butthurt about it. It'll be interesting to see if they make videos about this topic. The problem I have with this sjw minority is that they're in high places in the western anime community and gaming. They have the weight to shut stuff down (get it kicked off legal streaming sites perhaps?) and give off the impression to the Japanese that western anime fans hate this stuff. I personally really like the show but we're probably seeing higher ratings to "spite the sjw". |
| Pretty average aside from the violence and such. I'm less than impressed, but it might be dark/edgy enough to be worth watching. 3/5 episode |

FeelSide said: Looks like this is the anime that's going to get meme'd the whole season. Ugh, the community should have picked a better show to meme. There are already memes, you just need to find them :^)  |
| Basically that was danmachi with a heaping tablespoonful of edge i'm ok with this |
R3d_Juice said: For those who didn't like what was presented in the first episode, READ THE MANGA FIRST. It's not like SAO or Konosuba, it's a dark isekai. This is a Dark Fantasy, not an isekai xD |

On_the_Lam said: Sure ya did. And I just fell off that turnip truck. I suppose you’ll want to discuss my dick next, just like all the other sjw’s. Why is it always about the dicks with you people. Always the dicks. smdhNoviSun said: Did you even bother to watch the episode before writing this drivel? Obviously? How would I come to such a conclusion without watching the episode? |
LunaUri said: NoviSun said: hahahaha you sure are sensitive. Stay away from the Dirty Harry movies. May I suggest you only view things like "The 5 little cabbages and how they grow" from now on. Please share my advice down at the bistro during your next sensitivity class. I’ll be sure to let your Mom know, while I’m raping her at the bistro. LunaUri Says he doesn't want to see overly-sexualized, graphic rape scenes.....Comments he's going to rape someones mom.. Congratulations you played yourself |

| I think we're already reaching the point where I'm too embarrassed to admit I read Goblin Slayer if this is how the fans are acting. Jesus Christ is it really that hard to have civil discourse? Also, to the people who dislike it. Just.. give it a bad rating and go about your day. There's really no point in staying here just to instigate some 15 year old edgelords into having internet baby fights with you. Doesn't make you any better than them. Just leave the people who like Goblin Slayer to enjoy their show. You can go watch.. Free or precure or whatever. Everyone is happy. |

I just started reading the LN several days ago, and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. But this isn't exactly company one would want to be associated with in any way. Reddit is even worse, with GS's advocates some how bringing the subject of the series' "persecution" back to the Kavanaugh appointment and controversy. |

| Well I guess the show weeded out the people with weak stomachs pretty quickly. As for me, it seems to be leading more towards being dark rather than being edgy (main metric for me in that as tone, as it doesn't wallow in sorrow the whole time, instead the lighter moments just have an air of discomfort like everything'll go wrong). |
| Holy crap! This show looks promising! |
| The rape scene could've been better tbh but you know anime nowadays don't show anything really fucked up anymore. |
| There are three groups of people who are watching and discussing about Goblin Slayer right now. 1st- The sensitive snowflakes aka SJW idiots who would cry the moment a woman gets harmed on-screen in a FICTIONAL show. Which in this case is the violence and rape against the adventurers. Seriously, don't even dare to watch Berserk, you'll have a horrible time crying and whining. 2nd- The sick bastards who wants to see more of that scene. Seriously guys, hentai exists for a reason. 3rd- People who enjoyed it for its grim tone and promising setting. Like me and a bunch of the only few sane people watching and discussing this. Take your pick. |

| Read the manga when it first came out and enjoyed it mainly due to Goblin Slayer being such a deadpan and highly competetent Protagonist. Never cared much for the other characters and story. The first episode was okay, I guess. My biggest gripe is that it tries too much being a faithful adapation to a point that manga panels are adapted 1:1. As such some scenes like the death of the boy, priestess pissing herself and the rape scene feel hamfisted and disjointed. In general the episode lacked polish. Steins;Gate 0 had a horrendous schedule, so that may have had an impact on Goblin Slayer's production. On the other hand, I did like the potrayal of Goblin Slayer, especially that glaring red eye when he killed those little gobs. |
| This is what the fuss is all about? Geez you guys need to chill out. I'm not quite sure why the show needs to write it such that goblins seem obsessed over rape and have to do it with another species, but it's not even that graphic. I'm sure there's worse out there. MaceChan said: I felt the same too. It's not as annoying when other genres does the 1:1 thing, but when it's supposed to be fighting and multiple things happening at once you can really feel it.The first episode was okay, I guess.
