| Well if they're going to skip the village arc, I at least hope they get to the room. If they do animate it the village arc after, I guess it might give you a better impression of certain goblins that were killed relatively easy during the village arc. Quality line in this episode: "they do die when I hit them really hard with it." |
| So you're telling me that a flat out boring character like Goblin Slayer has a Harem now? lmao I swear, those guys that lost their equipment looked like they would die anytime soon, yet they survived thanks to the almighty power of the club #ClubMasterRace |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Wow a seemingly filler episode but I liked it... makes you want to wonder about other characters...goblin slayer is one of the most misunderstood characters |
 |
| So, first they trim some nice interactions between Goblin Slayer and the others, then decide to skip the Village arc, and now they add filler? What the fuck is wrong with you White Fox?? I'm completely disappointed by the direction they're taking. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Wow this episode focused receptionist, she is for sure the best girl, her reaction about Goblin Slayer was awesome, her blushing was cute! And she admitted that she likes Goblin Slayer! Congratz to Onna for promotion! High elf asking to Goblin Slayer to join in next mission was cute! Witch always showing his hot side, but i think the candle she given to the guy saved his life! Goblin got a new mission from and "important person", looks like that, she was mensioned by receptionist's partner, i am curious about her! |
 |
| An interesting episode that while not featuring any large battles involving GS and party did well in showing the life that other adventurers face. To think that lizardman fell in love with cheese though. The elf's attitude towards GS sure has changed substantially. The promotion meeting was more intense than i expected. To think that thief had the nerve to attack Jou though. But her harrying of him as well as her facing down the thiefs anger with her calmness was impressive. So she has a crush on the GS huh. On a side note its nice that the warrior and his partner was able to get back his sword. Looks like next episode will introduce the famous sword maiden. |

| LOL, they are changing the order of the events. |
 |
| Stupid adventurers. They couldn't defeat a simple bunch of rats, let alone defeat the fucking giant rat and not to mention the fucking Gaping Dragon. Anyway, this is the worst episode not only for the filler and quality, but because they are skipping the best part of manga. |
 |
| I think they are not skipping, just changing the order. The village arc will be later, they are adapting a spin off for now. |

weirdy8 said: Ok as a fan of the manga, this ep was just bad. The whole journey with the newbs was anime original, they pretty much shoved the promotional ch from much later in between, cut a lot of bonding time with cow girl, and seem to be rushing straight to the sword maiden arc that’s currently running. If that’s the case, they’re skipping my favorite part of the manga so far: the village defense with the guild. It's not anime original, it's from Brand New Day manga / Volume 4 LN Lelouch0202 said: The Radroaches Ah, a fellow fallout fan. |
| As a person who is greatly disgusted by cockroaches, this episode made me tremble in fear. At least the porcelain adventurer recovered his sword, so something is something. So that famous sword maiden that always appears gang-raped by goblins in pixiv's fanarts is going to be properly presented next episode. Want to see what's all the hype about her. Also recepcionist-chan is best girl. Goblin Slayer is so lucky to have her in his harem. |

| So: - 3 different girls blushing for the protagonist in the same episode, already a pseudo-harem for a guy whose face is not even revealed. These guys know what the audience wants. - More fanservice. Yeah just zoom on the girl's tits whenever you can. - Story of two characters we probably won't see again and they look like generic NPCs. - Another episode wasted on expositive dialogue. - More one-liners from GS. - Art is even worse than previous episodes, even if a big part of this episode was featuring two guys on a cave hunting rats... |
"Doubting everything that you take on... That is very important. Open your own eyes, clear out your ears, and look and listen to the world... And think using your own brain. After you've doubted everything, there is a possibility of something real to believe in. To believe in something, doubt everything." |
BigDarg said: Idk if anyone else is in the same boat as me, but i watch this show for the violence and there wasn't quite enough in this episode although i have high hopes for there being a lot in the next I could say this adaptation is somehow a bit obsessed with the manga source material rather than the LN. This episode is actually filler for vol 4 of the LN but also have been serialized as a side story compilatio manga. It seems white fox is winded what they should choose to adapt. The main manga didn’t suffer from this bad pacing and almost every chapter will involve goblin slaying. |
| Seems like a filler episode. Hopefully the next one is better. |
| Tsundere Elf and i'm curious about the Sword Maiden. |
 |
| lol of course this would happen I shouldn't be surprised in fact we all should of expected this actually. The Village Defence Arc has the naked women as meat shields and White Fox can't animate that lol. Just like how they couldn't animate the Wild Hunt arc  since that whole arc was just 3 of the members going around raping people in the Capital non stop but yooo still good episode though |

| This show just keeps geting better and better. |
 |
| If you would take a shot every time someone says "goblin", you would be dead before the episode is over. That the Priestess got promoted is nice. And they nailed the scene with the little shit. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Have you seen something so beautiful you just wanted to cry? *Me at High Elf and Guild Girl blushing* OMG GOBLIN SLAYER IS SO DARK!!!111! An episode of our damaged MC encountering all the waifus. |
| The manga readers are in a frenzy. You all think too linear and it's annoying AF. Some chapters or volumes need to be switched to deliver and get the most emotional impact for other media like an anime or a movie. One good example was Violet Evergarden wherein they aired what was supposed to be chapter 8 was spliced and foreshadowed into episode 1 and the following episodes to help with chracter development and backstory. I was entertained and I genuinely enjoyed it - 9 / 10 My only gripe about this forum is that I get to put up with manga, LN and VN readers that can't help but whine about their precious version being ruined by an anime. It's because of their biased criticism I inadvertently run across unchecked spoilers they mention in their rants. It's supposed to be an ANIME discussion in the first place FFS. I don't go to manga discussion boards to bitch and ruin their enjoyment. |

| I can't believe the receptionist fell in love with Goblin Slayer, I don't think it happens, but I hope they end up together :D Also this XD  |
 |
| Ok normally i dont complain about anime original scenes or fillers even if it bugs me but this i have to say: WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GUYS SKIP PROBABLY THE BIGGEST DAMN CHARACTER AND PLOT PROGRESSION PART OF THE STORY>>>> WHITE FOX ARE FKING MAD? Seriusly why just why, that arc was one of the best and was a huge step in developing our main characters goblin slayer and priest girl in particular but they skipped and made a whole new filler? (unless this part is in the ln but i dont think so) why White fox why? of all the times you had to screw up it had to be this? I really hope they just moved it to make it as a concluson but if it is not ...my god this is going to leave sour taste in my mouth, |
| WHERE IS THAT GOD DAMN VILLAGE DEFENSE AGAINST GOBLIN LORD SHIT!!!??? I realy wanted to see that moment when Goblin Slayer approaches Goblin Lord and tells him that he have nowhere to go back. Instead I've got unnecesary quasi-explaination how low-ranked adventurer's life look like. Shitloads of other fantasy anime with adventurers already did that so that was mega pointless. I hope they won't cut/edit next chapters. From 9/10 anime just went to 5-6/10. |

I don't go to manga discussion boards to bitch and ruin their enjoyment. Excellent point. Problem that they are already judging without even waiting for the result, of course they are reorganizing some events exclusively for the anime (I think they forget that an anime adaptation is not made exclusively for those who know the work) Personally I see no problem going to the events of Sword Maiden and then returning to the events of the "defense raid" (even I like this change because I consider the outcome of this "raid" with all the adventurers gathered an excellent point to finalize the anime ) _____ Discussing the episode: I sincerely enjoy these transition episodes. I thought it was good that he showed more of the city and the other adventurers, plus some worldbuilding information. As for the newbie having trouble killing the rats, it is worth remembering that there is no "save" in this world .. so however you wish to be an adventurer to make your name while killing dragons and demons, it is a good road full of dangers if you is still rank low. |

| Not a bad episode overall but I guess they are trying to restructure the anime and introduced side story as a result. I am assuming that they will end the series with you-know-what-arc (sorry, I can't venture into manga spoiler territory). I can't wait to see more of paladin, discount berserk and lancer in future episodes. here is a little fanservice gif  |
| I'll be honest that episode was kinda boring. In really not sure what the can do with such a one dimensional main character. All those waifus and a MC who has the sex drive of a turnip |

Oh, they must be rearranging the order of events? Must be. |
| Wow this shit really starts to feel like a dark fantasy after this episode!!! And it will become even darker next week LMAO Hell yeah, slay them all!!! |
| Im seeing a bunch of you guys who have only watched the anime are saying manga fans shouldn't be mad about the rearrange of order eh but guys they have all the right to be mad since its most likely not a rearrange but simply skipping an arc because it would be too controversial now yes Im aware they could animate the arc and censor it like with Akame ga Kill but chances are low |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Did they just skip the best arc of the series thus far? I hope not... I hope they're planning on showing that arc after this. Even if they do, they just screwed up the whole timeline... not happy. |
marcusho said: They are not following from the manga, they just follow to the light novel from the start. If you all bitching about skipping arc, what about you all just stfu , read or follow the original light novel and not the manga. Oh please, stfu. They're switching around the LN too. The manga is following the LN, and this anime isn't. Of course people are bitching. |
| no budgets left. the story board is so bad director plz do something |
| Guild girl can't lie about her feelings xD Sword Maiden already hmmm... while ending it with the Village War might seem fitting I wonder how they'll handle this.. |
 |
Reybun said: Was the two adventurer's subplot an anime orginal or from the light novels? Asking this as a manga reader. It's from the manga Goblin Slayer Brand New Day and Volume 4 of the Light Novel. No anime original content so far. |
| I want Guild Girl to badmouth me. Still somewhat enjoying the show, I like the characters a lot, but damn, the prasentation really hurts the show. Saying it's serviceable would be an overstatement. Direction and animation is frankly just bad. White Fox' schedule seems to get worse with every episode, 10 animation directors on this week's episode and it still looked like ass... yikes. |
