| Too bad the anime peaked at episode 1, no doubt the tragic end of the inexperienced adventurers is the best moment of the series. Objectively speaking, its too tame and it follows the SAO route to further delve on and become yet another typical fantasy world. |
 |
| This anime sure keeps it real in a RPG like world... quite interesting to be honest! Can see why there was so many talk about it when it first aired. But well I sure look forwards to see what this anime has to offer! |
 |
| well i got what i expected, though it wasnt all that pleasant. goblin slayer is a badass though. |
| I like how they took a different approach than most anime. They showed how cruel reality is and that everything doesn't always go right. |
 |
| Finally got around watching the infamous Goblin Slayer, gotta say it's as trash, no, even trashier than I thought it would be. The healer girl was recruited into a team that's gonna go exterminate some goblins, without much of a plan because apparently the guy killed some goblins back in the days. These people have a sense of danger of a 4 years old kid in our real world, despite being born in a fantasy world as cruel as a goblin raping human women. Oh yea, speaking of the rape, did the author read way too many hentai doujinshi? Goblin raping human woman, I wonder what the female goblin think of it, do they have huge dildo attached to their crotch joining in to rape these women as well? Since they've shown little goblin offsprings I assume there's females to give birth to them. Unless you're trying to tell me male goblins could somehow inseminate female human. Also, this healer lady has the attitude of your typical 15 years old high schooler you'd see in anime. How do you have the sensitivity and fraility of a person born in peaceful world despite being in that fantasy world? Make no sense. You feel bad for little goblin kids? Wut? You got so weak you were on your knees? Wut? What do you think being an adventurer was? Absolute garbage characterization to start the series with. Goblin Slayer's first appearance, I gotta admit that was pretty cool but come on, he's acting way too cool which in return make it so unnatural. He's also info dumping his own shit trying to explain it to a girl he just met, great writing 10/10 totally not sarcastic I am not done with the healer girl, she met goblin slayer the first time and she wasn't scared or anything, she just straight up conversed with an armored dude who just coldly massacred the goblins. But I guess the author wanted to speed up the harem building so basically you skip over the part where they get to know each other, which was supposed to start from the point where they do not know each other and should be wary of each other. Gonna give it a couple more episodes but likely gonna drop it, since someone said there's gonna be more rape coming. Well that's not my fetish so yea.. edit: oh yea and i forgot to mention something too, the lady who handles the guild registration was gonna warn the newb adventurers who recruited the healer girl to go goblin slaying somehow halfass-ed her warning attempts and didn't push it further, basically said no more than 2 sentences max. Such lazy writing to lead up to the 'darkness/tragedy' that took place in that sex cave. :shrug: |

You and I know that make no sense. Just as monkey couldn't impregnate human woman, or injecting human semen into an egg won't create a hybrid lifeform, you'd assume goblin making human women pregnant is only stuffs that hentai creators think of. Goblins don’t have females so in order to reproduce they have to impregnate females of other species. By the way if you are going to watch something called Goblin Slayer then learn a little about goblins first. |

You seem to have some weird notion in your head that all forms of media & fiction must follow the same set of rules. Anyway : Thought it was an alright episode, bit of a weird show to jump into after a ridiculously long holiday away from the medium. Went in blind with the ramblings from pals telling me I should watch this and didn't expect certain things to happen. I'll continue to watch inbetween sessions of Path of Exile. |

Goblin raping is like, what folks in mid ages telled their kids when narrating about goblins deeds. But guess they all hentai creators am i right? Lmfao. Smh How can goblin impregnate human women? Guess what, the power of fiction. And fiction only works in a fantasy world, oh shit wait... 'You are trying to tell me that if you say some random world out loud you could generate matter that atonomically replacate some destroyed tissue and heal someone omfg retarded author bho stopid goblin slayer.' Ahaha get your shit togheter fam Nevertheless you can come up with an acceptable explanation that could work in real life, its not hard, some did it already with clues from novel,but its still a trivial problem you probably just mentioned just to stuff more forced criticism as much as possible. |
| I don't understand your point? The first part that you quoted wasn't even meant to be a criticism, I was just pondering on what goes through all that shit. It's a fiction, sure, and it's something a hentai writer would think of. How would the rape help develop the story? It's as shallow as going into a goblin nest without much of a plan, and even though the guild lady handling the front desk was wary of something she ended up not warning the group for, you know, plot reason. It's meant to be as edgy as possible. But hey, if you like the series, you do you. I've already dropped it. |

| Amazing rape+kill scene, was even shocked for a minute (didn't read manga before watching). |
 |
| Wow what a start to this one! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
RedBloodFoxHound said: The main issue I had with episode 1 was that it had to resort to extreamly sexually graphic scenes in order to create some sort of shock and emotional value. Like I get that this show is mature however it trys to stand out to be this edgy show. LIke their are other ways to make a good hook. i don't see the problem, its new intresting and unique without going full on hentai with it without showing actual sex |

zukushimika said: People told me that this was bad. *10min in almost everyone dies* “I don’t see a problem.” to them the problem part is that goblins rape, ofc its shon with minor details without going hentai but this ppl are bothered by it |
| damn, what did I just watched I mean what the F`in was that? this shit is darker |
 |
| This anime break every anime laws lol They add a cute witch , cute character design , then the goblin do the "thing" to her and kill her But more important , they cant just put a loli girl , have her wear bloody things and use her as bait ! |
Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat |
| Damn, what a brutal episode. White Fox is certainly not afraid ot showing more and more blood. I can see why people got triggered by the rape scene, even if it was really short. At least it served a purpose, to show how dangerous goblins actually are and makes you hate them even more. |

| Gotta say I've never seen rape goblins in fantasy before. Usually rapists are some tribe of savage humans. This makes me wonder about the goblins' intelligence (if any). What else would they rape and why? Do they have a society, or are they like animals? I can see why the rape scene caused a big stir in the West. And, damn, GS just euthanized that chick by stabbing her in the throat. I thought the episode was pretty brutal, and I watched it on Crunchyroll so I probably saw the censored version. TygerPowers9767 said: Goblins don’t have females so in order to reproduce they have to impregnate females of other species. By the way if you are going to watch something called Goblin Slayer then learn a little about goblins first. I didn't know that about goblins. Plus different fantasy series have different "rules" for their creatures. I was wondering why the goblins were so into raping human girls. If that's how they reproduce, it makes sense. Otherwise, I'd think they would rape the men too, if it were just the goblins on a power trip humiliating humans. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| Going to be rewatching the series and finally finishing it. I dropped it after around Episode 7 I think. Not because it was a bad series, but because I couldn't find time to finish it the first time around. The first episode is as dark as I remember it being, but I am less sensitive to the dark stuff this time around having been previously exposed to it. Man, the whole cave scene is kinda rough, but I guess I'm used to dark stuff now in anime. |
 |
| Dark fantasy anime, oh hell yeah! Damn those noobs not even being able to defeat the weakest creatures smh, priestess is pretty lucky the maxed out goblin slayer came to clear out some starter areas. Have to say it was interesting to see the tactics of both sides used. Got some respect to priestess for not having a mental breakdown after surviving that ordeal. |
 |
| Wow! I was not expecting to be hit with burning, spearing, stabbing, slicing, raping, amputating, and praying from the jump off. I thought this was going to be some cutesy, boob-filled show that I was absolutely not going to be able to stand. This is quite pleasant. I think I'll keep watching. |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| Its too early after 1 episode to judge whether its good or not but saying its trash right away because theres a rape scene is just dumb. Lore can do anything it wants even if its taboo/controversial. I get that theres a lot of teenagers aged 15 and below here if you dont want that aspect in your anime just dont watch it. |
| that gets a certified yikes from me, holy fuck. Heard a lot of things about this anime, both good and bad but honestly i thought it was about time i took my turn at this anime and took a break from some light hearted SOL for a change, step into the more dark and morbid ones. First thoughts are, visuals are pretty good, very graphic and i'm happy they aren't shying away from gore as you can obviously tell this isn't going to be a bright anime with some of the themes portrayed in this episode alone. Story so far seems pretty straightforward, rookie adventure that has the worst first experience and gets saved by a guy who lives up to his name as "goblin slayer", interested to know his whole deal. Some small details that were interesting, and slightly unsettling, was definitely the beginning part were the priestess mentions she was "15" which was already considered an adult, showing the life expectancy in this world. All in all, i'm hooked, the action this episode was a good seller for me as well as the ideas and pretty dark themes, i'm hoping this anime keeps its momentum as it is. |
 "yabe." |
| Holy shit it went 0 to 100 really fucking fast |
| The intro made me wonder what this series would look like and it did And my first impression was this is a modern Hai to Gensou no Grimgar but the twist is more gruesome than ever Following the first adventure, The main Protagonist went through and just slaughtered their party was really horrid. I was expecting the main protagonist to die as well but thank god the "Goblin Slayer" came and saved her I would've just sat here and just watch through the pain This is a throwback to the first anime that I watched Hai to Gensou no Grimgar but instead I get are horrifying scenes. |

jlin0821 said: why can't you make a spell that lowers your smell or scent so you don't have to worry about getting some weird disease when you cover yourself, I mean you could also make a smell that fixes that weapon issue too. As far as I can tell, the author based the rules of that world on Dungeons and Dragons rules, not sure which generation, as apparently, they differ from one to another. I'm not a DnD expert, so if anybody is familiar with it, they should be able to tell us whether that spell exists or not. For more practical reasons, there is no mana in this world which the mages can use and then recharge for their spells. Instead, they have a set number of spells they can use in a day, with experience and power translating to them being able to use more eventually, so it makes sense for them not to waste a spell doing something they can get the same result with just a bit of physical effort. |
| Really like this dark show. Let's hope for some more Goblin Slaying action because Goblin Slayer is based af. |
| Serious? Goblin rape scene? Wow, this anime is quite dark huh. But, interesting. Starting from the main character who suddenly came at a critical moment. And his seiyuu is one of my favorite seiyuu. 9/10 |
 |
| Well Goblins are indeed weak enemies, but the blonde girl's team is also weak, damn that's why they all died. But luckily the blonde girl survived, because Goblin Slayer saved her. |
