kofmaster said: 1- because of the genre. 2- No. GS rape is NOT fan service, It has a purpose in the plot too. I have no idea why people see that as fanservice. Magrael said: THANK YOU. i really hope the anime won't revolve around rape and "hey look i killed some goblins and this girl has big boobs" No. I think that they should adapt the rape on a more subtle way, like the LN did. They could put only the screams and some shadows and the impact would be the same. But on manga and anime they show needlessly the girls nuded and brutallity raped. For me this episode was the closest thing to a hentai show with the tags #Rape #Bestiallity. And it was nasty. But overall, my comment was about the stupid comparison between Berserk and GS. Now people will want to kill me for the thing I sayed |
Maneki-Mew said: I wonder how obsessed these people over a second on screen. Some anime fans are very ... they aren't accustomed to anything. Don't they watch and read anything outside anime? Like, haven't you ever watched other dark fantasy and horror or thriller series? All if kinds of violence like this happen in this world and series like Game of Thrones portray every kind of violence very explicit, from every murder to torture and sex, consently or not. It's up to you, if you can bear (some form of) violence, but complaining about violence, if you are willingly watching dark fantasy, is beyond my understanding. I mean, that short rape scene and the plot with the kidnapped women is clearly not portrayed as something good, funny or anything. I'm just not overly excited about the first episode and Goblin Slayer's personality yet, but I don't understand this huge discussion and people losing their temper because of that. Btw. anime violence rarely gets me and IF it gets me then on a psychological level and also in some series you wouldn't expect, because of the situations and characters I love or similar things. And this level of violence, regarding the fighting and blood, there wasn't even THAT wild. TBH. Seems like most of them have only read Harry Potter and stuff like Ready Player One. Odd how Game Of Thrones gets away with rape & other dark themes with these people. Can't explain that. |
| Dont you dare insult godly creationg like GoT! With its glorious rape, incest and BS plot ! .... but youre right, ppl thinks everything is clouds and ponnies and if its not its bad. Its sad there is not that much "dark" theme animes/movies where evil wins etc ... but w/e, atleast there are books :) . |

In any case, the only similar thing with Berserk is the genre and its tropes xD. You can compare with others as ubel blatt. |

| For fucks sake, does every fantasy anime has to be like a generic RPG? This is the most unnatural setting that exists. |

|
| Well I knew this would blow up in popularity. Been reading the manga since the start. |
| :3 |
| Not as cool as Grimgar goblin slaying, but I like this berserk theme things. Also, it's basically DnD session. Me likey. |

MrMushin said: The show is pretty questionable for me basing on the first episode. The CGI is really poorly executed and the dark theme is overdone in my opinion. This plus the fact that they foreshadowed too much that the whole group was gonna die made the first episode pretty uninteresting to me. Maybe I'll drop it but I'll atleast wait till the next episode. |
 |
| cruel censor-san :( |
  |
| Lol didn't think they'd adapt the rape. Props to them |
MonkeyDJasper said: if the goblins have sex and reproduce like normal, why would they not rape if they can?I have a feeling this show is just Edgy and Dark just to be without depth . Goblins raping people ? Why do the goblins rape people ? This was uncomfortable to watch at times I liked that episode, it was brutal and want to see more lol |

On_the_Lam said: A a shrink asked me that once long ago. When I told her a couple of my fantasies, she grew pale and stared at me a long time shaking. Finally she told me to go away and never come back. Sjw’s are everywhere nowadays.NoviSun 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. smdh How do people like you function in our current society? |
| I'm surprise people are upset by the graphic content in the anime. No one had issues with it when Devilman Crybaby came out earlier this year. |
| Not trashing on the series at all, as I'm definitely going to watch through more of it. I'm just really wanting to know from anyone who has read the manga if the brawler lady from episode 1 ends up being alright. (I know she seems like a 1-time thing, but I'd really want to know if there's any word of her afterwards.) |
 |
| Looking forward for more, mayyyybe the show will get better. However, the stupid, useless blonde damsel in distress should've died already. It's okay to kill off the rest of the party but not the blonde, noooo it can't be done...Why is she the protagonist? Pitiful scum. Also, the moment the generic noob mercenary was about to have his arm amputated got denied. Wonder why...was it too violent for audience's sake? Moreover, clothes stripping and later camera shots weren't revealing. Why bother with such act if every detail remains covered in spite of all? Moar censorship, pls. The only righteous was the Slayer...except for when he paid atention to the blonde. Ironic, knowing that the blonde could use healing magic. Was it not self-castable or was she not leveled enough to upgrade the spell? |

Was it not self-castable or was she not leveled enough to upgrade the spell? Yes, is self-castable, but too limited at low level and can't heal poison with that. Healing power of Cure Wounds (DnD version of that) scales with slot levels. |

| That episode was odd, but I think I'll watch that anime till the end |

Hasn't shown up after she's wheeled off. It's one of the understated, weaker points of rape the series, because people do recover from horrific gang-rape, albeit with PTSD, but the series (unlike, say Berserk), clings to the old Japanese purity-obsessed tradition that rape=ruined for life (there is literally one exception). |
| Harem is the opiate of the Anime fandom masses. |
| I enjoyed the dark turn of events. At first, I thought it was going to be all happy and fulfilling missions, etc. But dam, I didn't know they would go that far. For the knife scene, I thought they were going to cut it off with the goblin holding the knife in the air, but they showed it plunging in her stomach, and you hear the screams of everyone being tortured. Honestly, this is what an adventure should look like where things go wrong, and the monsters show some intelligence. I don't like it when characters hack down mindless monsters and come back with scratches. Although the characters were a little bit dumb, their death/experience was well shown. Well done for the first episode, can't wait for the next one. |

Awww, that's a real sad mindset to have. Thank you for supplying the information though. |

| This was a tone setting episode. It let's you know what kind of show to expect. I guess if you read the novel or manga, this shouldn't have surprised you. Anyways, the episode was good. Introduced the main characters and you could tell it would go south pretty quickly. At least two people were saved. Let's see what happens next week. |
| So many boobs in fairy tail, it's crazy. |
| The fact that these characters don’t seem to really know the dangers of the world they live in it’s baffling. They can’t all be that naive... Sure, lets make a party of 4 rookie women and go into a dark cave by ourselves to hunt goblins for fame and glory, what could possible go wrong, right? No need for anyone to question this idea... No need for trivial things such as planning beforehand either (attack and defense formations, gathering information of the area, etc etc)... After all, and according to these characters, goblins are the weakest of all living creatures. I guess they thought that they were only going to encounter a couple of goblins, not a whole colony; lack of information of the area. Good for the male MC for burning and killing every goblin in there. If it was up to our female MC, the lives of those goblin children would have been probably spared (even after what she just witnessed), which would have been as idiotic as her going into this train-wreck of a quest. Anyhow, I thought it a was a mediocre 1st episode. The addition of rape and gore didn’t make it any better or worse… I’ll give it one more episode just to see how things play out, but for now, I’m not feeling this. |
 We ultimately fear what spawns from within us ~Shinsekai yori Music is freedom. ~Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso |
| Okay, given how loud this discussion is getting, I just came to state that I loved the first episode. There needs to be more anime like this, and less ecchi and ai bullshit. This is an adult anime, not for fucking pussies who can't stand a rape scene (like, seriously, then Berserk, or even Game of Thrones, must be trash too). Now, I don't know a thing about the light novel, but the story is looking like classic fantasy so far, the adventurers being classified in differents tiers identified by materials kind of reminded me a bit of Overlord though. If they can make up a good story while mantaining this level of realism, this can easily become my AOTS (not counting new seasons of older animes or neverending animes). |

| During the last few minutes of the episode, it says that: "It is a common occurrence that rookie adventurers getting slayed by goblins." During the first few minutes of the episode, the guild lady at the counter didn't actually bother to warn or stop the lowest rank adventurers from taking the goblin slaying quest. and the adventurers actually went in the cave without bringing a single potion. D: *clap clap*. RIP boy and gurlss. |

Coranie said: During the last few minutes of the episode, it says that: "It is a common occurrence that rookie adventurers getting slayed by goblins." You need to read the whole phrase "or so I think, im not sure. Do these life shattering events really happen all the time?" She talks as if she were telling you an urban myth. Most adventurer are naive about the true potential of the goblins. |

| lmao the hate this series is getting is hilarious. White Fox also produced Akame Ga Kill and Re;Zero, two dark and edgy series which get a lot of hate even tho the source material is pretty good. Goblin Slayer is joining the list as it seems LOL note: I actually like Re:Zero and never watched Akame so sit down. |
 |
| Can't wait til adapt Vol.2 of the LN, we get some fun type of gobs in Water City =) . Anyways so people who haven't read the LN or manga know, there will not just be goblins to slaughter in this series. Roll them d20 dices and lets see what fate awaits you. |

D: *clap clap*. RIP boy and gurlss. She tried a bit harder to convince them in original version but as you can guess they reduced it coz time is limited. beside that GS came to their rescue coz she told him that some newbie might be in danger in this mission (he does a lot of mission on same time but he choses the order). Beside the majority of people who die in any conflicts are the roockie (not counting civilians) the death of a roockie is much less important than the one of a veteran. Also the guild isn't very powerful, its just a medium between adventurers and the people. adventurers are here to solve the problems that it wouldn't be worth sending the army to resolve. but beside that its also a population that isn't affliated to any country, has the strength and potential to be violent against civilians, doesn't always have good temper and have no real obligations toward ruler. The guild wants to make things better but doesn;t have the money to do it Too many rookies to clean after. :< |
