Is this going to be generic?

Naruto and fairy tail have the same situations where characters are very injured or are about to die and that does not make them dark in any way (even important characters get to die in naruto, which in goblin slayer only happens with a group of disposable extras)


Yes, but once more it only happens with extras this characters are fillers, it's like when they tell you a war where many random people died, but the main group is fine



The protagonist is practically the only character that behaves like this, only him suffered that trauma, if it is such a "grim" world then it should be full of people like goblin slayer, but the rest are just colorful and arrogant adventurers who despise the goblin slayer, it seems to be an exceptional case although this is the fault of the bad worldbuilding.

I agree with you on everything except the last part. When creating a world that's supposed to be dark, not everyone has to have some sort of trauma. The world doesn't just throw out an equal amount of suffering for each character, nor is it like that in real life. Even in a dark world, it's still possible that some individuals haven't faced the hardships that others have. Later on, they are subjected to the horrors of their world. One of the characters, the elf, even appears traumatized at one point but still attempts to tough it out. So, there is some effect but the show doesn't have enough episodes to see if it will be long term or of any importance.

I’m going to be completely honest. The first volume of the Light Novel is probably one of the best starts I’ve ever read. No joke. I will say the quality does degrade after Volume 1 and 2 are covered for me, but I’d say watch if you like the overpowered MC with harem kind of show. It doesn’t start out like that but it slowly becomes it. He doesn’t start out like that in the beginning and his character takes a complete 180, but it’s actually executed well and I hope that they adapt Volume 1 well, because I think that the first volume is the best one out of them all because of it’s actually something that I lot of people will be pulled into. But I will say, I feel like a lot of people will drop it as it becomes more of a power fantasy harem. I’m just going to watch what they cover of Volumes 1 and 2, since they’re the only ones I have read and bought physically. But hey, if you like what you see, go for it! I’ve heard this is one of the better power fantasy harems anyways.

As I said the problem is the bad worldbuilding, the first episode shows you that situations a group of rookie dies and is raped by goblins they happen daily (to the point that the receptionist knew, that's why she sends the goblin slayer), the men who arrive at survive also should traumatized as GS, but they only tell you that they do not go back to hunting goblins and prefer other missions, that's the problem, the anime shows this as a constant problem, but the eternal negligence and lack of memory of These people are nonsense, if this happened every day would destroy any economy and certainly the government / kingdom would have to guarantee a minimum of security to its people, but not the story just takes this problem very superficially.

Sakurai_Aoi said:


Hmm... Yeah, you're right. They pretty much did just leave it at the fact that most adventurers avoid goblin quests while you can pretty much count on the goblin slayer to do them. The government would definitely have to do something... It is their people that it's happening to. And negligence is only one of the issues that some people in Goblin Slayer have...

You'd think they'd send an extermination squad for small-fries when they are on war with demons and monsters? You might say that GS goblins aren't weak and some characters are the testimonies to that but the fact that Sword Maiden kept a secret proves that the government will do nothing about it, the probable cause if she confess about her experience might just send people away from her with disgust and lose her reputation

Sakurai_Aoi said:


Yeah, they aren't all that weak. They can only be considered weak when compared to tougher monsters. Anyway, I suppose that you're right. Honestly though, the only thing she SHOULD lose is her trustworthiness.

Dragon_Omeg said:

Wow, such a nice reply, i never expected that from this site

From the synopsis this sounds like another Shield Hero.






I can’t do another Shield Hero.

DecimGames said:
I think the anime has potential and worth watching. But considering it has a Bad ass MC that gets Laid (Early) and lots of characters die make it less generic?

They should have just made this a hentai instead.

ShadowBladeX said:
Probably but the MC looks like a badass.

I don't know, if you have read the original content (i have read the manga and the novel).
His concept is to send a whole class in a fantasy world and the MC is the weakest of his classroom.

This universe his a little dark (particulary in the beginning) and the MC his a anti-hero.

Concerning his harem that we can see in the different picture, the MC is focus on single relation and i think it is more interesting

There's nothing good/ groundbreaking about it. Just the typical "so-called" underdog mc becomes op and prove everyone wrong scenario. (It's like author is telling you: "Hey this mc is the weakest, you gotta believe me! Like that slime is the weakest creature in most rpg right? Nope, we have this one gimmick that makes them the strongest in the world! Ha! I prove you guys wrong!)
