Brainlets calling the bath scene "fanservice"

Everything being shown is for a reason.

Need an excuse to see her scars so that priestess can realize that she has had a very bad encounter with goblins before

shows that although she has clearly been sexually attacked, she has overcome it completely on a spiritual level (comfortable around other people nude)

Shows that she is a more mature version of Priestess in general

I don't see why shitty writing is geting thrown in on this series. I haven't seen the slightest that makes this anime look bad apart from a few needed information on the characters, I think the fight was well executed. I don't really know what people were expecting from this series but this is for sure one of the better shows this season.

I'm guessing tbe amount of comparison to berserk ruins this series for a lot of people

your average anime fan doesn't understand the concept of "show, not tell" because most shounen series are for children and spoonfeed them information. So when a show practices showing rather than telling, they think it's stupid.

Like in episode 1, when there was so much backlash. Even e-celeb anime reviewers somehow couldn't see the foreshadowing of the fighter's longsword being too tall for the cave

This show isn't crazy complex or deep by any means. But anime fans really are that stupid sometimes.

Why he didn't choke Goblin champion to death?? Was he out of steam? I know he was badly wounded, but still he stopped doing his thing and took his eye instead of life.

Pretty good episode, enjoyed it. Priestess being a weak link for the team, as shown in the episode. Why didn't GS just keep strangling the Goblin Champion? He almost killed it, but instead decided to rip out one of it's eye's and let it survive.

Little bit too much blood shown when the Goblin Champion bit the priests arm tbh. Well i still enjoy seeing gore so whatever. Was there any ''meaning'' behind the canary's eye view? Just seemed like being the same scene looped again and again for over a minute. Lol

I think because he just couldnt hold it further.

Just when I thought this anime mght be more than trash it actually turned into complete trash. Wow.

Also how can someone called Goblin Slayer be so bad at slaying goblins? They set him up as good at his job, yet nere he yolos into a room with only 1 exit.

I heard piccolo screaming "DOOOOOOOOOODGEEEE" from a completely dfferent video.

The "look at me I suck at copying evangelion" bird wants me to drop this to a 5

Apparently its fucking crunchyroll being shit again. Seriously, CR has one job, how do they fuck it up so much?

He is obviously not dead, but the part that i'm more interested is his revenge xD

But wow! What an episode!
It was tough to see the Priestess crying again, but next episode they will take revenge for sure!

The brutality of this episode was off the charts.

What started with Priestess and the Sword Maiden's fanservice scene in the baths eventually led to the bloodiest battle so far in Goblin Slayer. When the Goblin Champion came along and made his mark known by slamming Goblin Slayer, the whole group almost fell apart, just like that.

However, Goblin Slayer's return to the fight, along with that wild glowing red eye, was really badass. He came at the right time to assist the Dwarf, Lizard and the Elf, who thankfully got rescued in time herself, with her outfit being almost entirely destroyed, bar her small brief-style damaged shorts.

Goblin Slayer then all wild on the Goblin Champion and also saved the Priestess thankfully. Despite winning their battle, Goblin Slayer himself conked out, obviously after losing a lot of blood during the battle.

I won't deny that staring into the bird's eye for 90 seconds with nothing happening was weird, but Crunchyroll buggered this up, as this scene was supposed to have the credits here from the T.V version in Japan. I'm surprised that they screwed something like this up, honestly. =/

Either way, this episode was great and I hope that Goblin Slayer will recover from his injuries and he'll be back killing more Goblins later in the series. =)

About the whole bird's eye thing, I think crunchy roll is so far down the SJW path that when they had to sub GS they became so deranged and triggered that they didn't even watch it, they just went to the timecodes and inserted text. After catching a glimpse of the climatic fight, they said fuck it and copy pasted credits after it, without even editing the timecodes to match the ep.

About the ep, this series was getting boring, but I'm glad they made him lose a fight. Constantly winning becomes old. End up like the slime anime where nothing bad really happens. I hope he gets some serious problem because of his near death experience. Like deku and his hands.

How GS strangled the Goblin Champion and gouged his eye out was great. The other goblins were struck with fear and could only run away. Also, Priestess' despair was real.

Regarding the issue with the credits, hold your horses. Other streaming services, including Wakanim (the one I watched the episode on), had the same issue. It isn't CR's fault. The uploader of the correct version also clarified it, if you would bother reading the comment.

Wow this episode was intense as hell!

The fight scene was so much painful to watch goblin champion biting Priestess and other goblins trying to rape High Elf, and where other were about to die, my brain were like "please dont!". Sword maiden did really bad telling Priesstess that Goblin Slayer will disapear briefly, its was like 70% the cause of they were about to die there!

I am glad that they survived, and i am curious about how is Goblin Slayer health!

I really felt bad for the priestess this episode, she wet herself again, got bitten by a monster and traumatized beyond belief. Mein gott, but hey, atleast we got ourselves some action, I think.

I don't even know what to think. It's just a fight again and they were on the verge of losing. I don't feel like any of the characters aside from Priestess and Goblin Slayer are particularly plot relevant to be honest.

I hope for something a little different to keep things going for the second half of the season, it really hasn't been long and it seems the show has revealed all their cards.

Yeah, wtf was with that? It might be issues with the production side, that'll probably be the most worrying.

Edit: Never mind, turns out it's just a mistake somewhere along the distribution chain. Those 2 minutes were supposed to be overlayed with the credits and ending song

Don't be too harsh on the Priestess. I mean, what is she supposed to do against that big Goblin anyway?

I mean, keeping that Protection up really seems to be taking a toll on her. It was probably a mix of exhausting, despair and being completely overwhelmed by the chaos. It seems that "casters/support" actually need to focus on their spells, or it will weaken and fail. She was giving her all, then, GS got rekt and she lost focus.

Have to agree with what you said. What Sword Maiden said to Priestess have a negative effect. Well, I hope Priestess learns from this and don't do the same mistake again.

For a second I thought GS had some sort of speed boost or super mode, making the goblins appear stationary. Glad that wasn't the case, runs contrary to what makes the fights worthwhile, the tactics.

Do you guys really care if the credits didn't run over the eye scene though? That's a pretty big non-issue. Blaming it on CR seems pretty retarded too. Do you really think they would take the effort to remove it and add the regular ED, as opposed to it just being what they were given?

As the party took time to do their things, Onna had an encounter with the high priestess, having a warning about GS's future. They finally enter to the ruins again, GS brought a canary for poisonous gas detection. As they got immersed in the ruins, they ended up in a trap. GS quickly acted, covering the holes through some goblins were trying to put poisonous gas, protecting themselves from the gas and blocking the door, preparing skeleton warriors and a protection barrier. Finally the goblins destroyed the door, which started a big fight against a high amount of goblins and one ogre. The battle got intense, the party were getting surpassed and GS got knocked out by the ogre. Suddenly GS could get up and use piece of hair to attack the ogre and other goblins and scare them away without human losses. But GS falled to the ground.

Action packed episode. Everything seemed lost when GS was knocked out with that big ogre's smash, I have to say, they're potraying him as a very experienced human, but with some limits, he needed to wait until he could get up, that hit wasn't nothing, he used his last strenght to end the situation. Dwarf and Reptile, despite they were gonna be in a life and death situation, were the elf (who was gonne be traumatized) and Onna (who was gonna be killed) in real danger, and GS who was a punch-bag. I like the show, I can't say interesting but entertaining episode. 3D scenes are shit.

Not a bad episode, but where the series goes from here will probably determine its worth at the end of the season. Yes, we know this is supposed to be a gory, realistic adventure series with lots of goblin slaying. The party has taken down a shaman and an ogre and now a hero. Will Goblin Slayer die? Probably not, but will he just rest for some days and get up and rinse and repeat? Where is the larger plot going? Hopefully they'll be answered pretty soon since we're nearly 10 episodes into this series.
