Vanschia said: great episode Priestess used 4 spell instead of 3, I guess she's really grown up (idk if it's permanent limit cap or ?) can't wait for the Goblin Lord battle & meat shield What was the 4th spell? i already forget I guess... Heal, Protection, Protection, ? |
 |
| Really liked the episode.The sea water being used as weapon was pretty clever and awesome. 5/5 Episode from me. |

Heal, Protection, Protection, ? Heal, Silence, Protection, Protection again, but a 4th spell was too dangerous for her, that's why she ends up exhausted. |
 |
| ah yes! I forgot about silence lol. thank you |
|
| That was awesome, this anime might end up being really good |
 |
| Any offended sjw’s? Or is it ok to hang naked elves on the walls like mounted fish? She really jazzed up the decor in their dungeon and no wonder that poor Goblin was pist someone was messing with his artwork. |

papsoshea said: May I suggest a nice slice of life anime for you, as excellent dark adventure doesn’t seem to be your thing.Its getting worse by the week. The way all the goblins died was boring, the way they fought the ogre wasn't good either, Goblin Slayer pulls out a scroll, uses it unconventionally but that was just any ass-pull you see. Without the 'edge', this show continues to lose steam. Now I am starting to think, have any of these fans even played a doom game? It's almost as if the entire popularity of the show relied in an over-the-top first episode that tricked the audience into thinking there was more to the show than just generic light novel fluff. Characters are still boring, generic character classes without names. This episode showed how 1 dimensional the mass produced rapists goblins are. Or, perhaps mastering the ancient art of Auto Fellatio would be more to you liking as I can see your already practicing the techniques here. |

kidlat020 said: that scroll is OP as fuck. who needs level ups when you can have a scroll that literally deals 999999 damage? please tell me the scrolls are cheap in this universe. Nope! Scrolls are lost tech. Goblin Slayer does have somebody keeping an eye out for another one, but they're rare and he's been adventuring without as far as I've read. |
Achaman said: oh? And you’re such a fine connoisseur of exceptional artwork. Hahahaha Don’t make me laugh.again the animation seems lazy.. |

Not to mention she was used as a bait to kill anyone who tried to save her. Good thing GS stopped Priestess otherwise she would have been stabbed. |
| That was awesome. Goblin Slayer finds the most proficient way to slay the Goblins. Even using items that are not meant for warfare and weaponizing them to be deadly. The fact that I had d&d Baldur's gate flash backs was really cool stuff. |
| The animation of using the scroll was a total let down. :/ They can put money to making some T&A look good but they can animate one hell of an epic scene? |
| @Akerakai: @anesubt: @SNDT: @Blue_Reaper: @Farabeuf: @HereticHunter: In defense to the High Elf Archer and the writing, lets look at the possibilities before jumping to conclusions. Though she is 2000+yrs old, her adventuring experience may be a small fraction of her 2000+ years of life experience. She may still be a virgin for all we know. Take Goblin Slayer for example. Just as he never took on quests without goblins, she could have only taken on quests with adventure and avoid horrors in the process. Same luck the cow girl had leaving the village before it got attacked. The story's setting is pretty much the luck of the dice. A 2000+yr old elf missing experience in something they haven't mastered just means they haven't mastered it yet. Our archer here isn't going to know everything, so the story is accurate in telling viewers no amount of years gives you every single experience the world has to offer. On the other hand, she may have the experience but still act inexperienced when experienced again. Her behavior may have nothing to do with her age to begin with. She's an archer, and she has made it clear she doesn't want to get dirty. We should also take into account that the victim this episode was the same race and gender. A male might simple question whether they'd tap that themselves, though none of the male characters present would. They might react that way if it were someone unattractive of their own species however. It may also just be the smell of the room that caused her to react that way. Imagining what goblins do is one thing but experiencing it is another. Putting yourself in their shoes is hard enough to wrap your head around as is. Not everyone gets used to horror in general. Anyone can act like it's their first time even if it isn't. It may even be worse than the last time they experienced it. In all other instances, her inexperience is a matter of preference or circumstance. If she hasn't drunk alcohol in those 2000+yrs, then she prefers something else. Say "adventure." Doesn't even have to be another drink. If she doesn't know to use the enemies weapon when hers is dulled, it just means she's never had too. I don't speak as a fanboy, as I myself see issue with the writing and haven't read the source material. The character I have a problem with is the Witch however, as chanting spells would take twice as long with that speech pattern. I just don't read into these things because it's not what the story is about. Whether a high elf can be ignorant of things they've never experienced over a period of 2000+yrs is believable or not is not up for debate. Elves are fantasy characters by nature. If she comes off as inexperienced, then she is [inexperienced]. She herself may be fully aware of it, but she sells herself as experienced as not to misrepresent her race. Especially in front of a dwarf. It's possible she'd act ... differently with other party [members]. Her own race in particularly or with no [dwarfs] present. |

| one shot kill scene without effect sounds.ummm works and efforts must be cheaper than the manga drawing. |
DedPanda said: Yeah, who are all these idiots who want better characterisation, animation and less pointless fanservice. It's like they have standards or something Xd.I'm glad I take this series for what it is, a simple hunt and kill series with some form of a narrative that is relatively easy to understand. Granted I get why people criticize it but from what I've seen so far, if you try to look for something more than what is given, you're only gonna have a bad time. |

| The whole group was resourceful and it's heartwarming that the elf girl lived. |

| This was a pretty nice episode. |

| Don't believe the hype. |
| Nice seeing Dwarf and Lizardman's powers. That Iguanodo summon thing of his is pretty cool. Good thing they were able to save that elf. I'm surprised that Archer Elf is so shocked to see something like that, she's lived for 2000 something years and she's never seen anything like that before? Considering the world they live in and her being high-ranked, I thought she's seen her share of shit. She's my fave but honestly, that surprised me. Loved how goblin Slayer didn't give a fuck about the ogre and was the first one to get knocked out before coming back as a badass. Living up to his name. The elves are pretty attracted, I want to see more of them. |

They should just copy Deedlit from Record of Lodoss War, who is only aged for 175 (~14 y/o by today's standard) and never ever leaved her village instead of pulling off a 2000 y/o elfchild AND experienced silver adventure crying over a elf prisoner. It's shit writing, plain and simple. She's there to full the loli elf fetish and the original webnovel used Shiro from SAO as her portrait. why do people want realistic thing over a media that supposed to be surrealistic? after this i recommend you to make a thread about why anime eyes looks unrealistic. you don't even understand what loli is, she's clearly didn't looked like an under aged girl, the priestess is, just because she has a flat chest doesn't mean she's a loli. |
Akerakai said: Do elfs consider the lenght of 1 year to be less than what humans consider the lenght of 1 year to be?cause best girl aka elf girl sure didn't experience shit during those "2000" years looking at the ways she reacted and acted during this epsiode Anw it was a decent episode i guess 3/5 True bruh, was also wondering the same. |
 |
| An interesting use of everyone's powers this episode, both to exterminate the goblins and then to deal with the ogre at the end. My only real complaint is that elf girl is way too naive to be over 2000 years old: sheltered is one thing, but completely unprepared for the reality of a goblin raid when she's a silver-rank is a bit silly (and her comment at the end about how adventures are supposed to be fun only emphasises that, as for Goblin Slayer this is an extermination mission, not an adventure). |
animejas said: That was great. Loved the strategies and desperation at play with Goblin Slayer resorting to the scroll to defeat the General. A really fun episode for me. He didn't say he was the General though. I guess people don't pay attention to subs. |
| Although the narration is not boring, I did not feel the thrill that is felt when one perceives the danger and the unpredictability of situations. I do not know if it's wanted, but the image quality is not excellent. Drawings and animations, etc., sufficiently good. |
 |
| The animators sure are quite lazy to forget to add blood on thier clothes LUL. Also using dinosaurs genera names like Iguanodon & Velociraptor's I see. That also going to cost them points as a sin. |

| Getting carried by scroll. Doesn't make any sense that a gate to the bottom of the sea would slice him like that but w/e. Dwarf spell is litterally throwing small rocks. Glad you can do it 6 times buddy. Still decent to watch but i expected more after ep1. |

I know they cut big blocks with high pressured water but i don't see how the gate could make that happen, not gonna discuss fluids mechanics here but he should probably just get cold and wet. |
Oz1888 said: I know they cut big blocks with high pressured water but i don't see how the gate could make that happen, not gonna discuss fluids mechanics here but he should probably just get cold and wet. I'm not a specialist but that was water from the floor of the ocean transported in a small scroll and trying to flow from there. Water pressure on the floor of the ocean is quite huge. Not for nothing humans can not submerge so much. |

| i like everything about this episode ,that battle end quick (because we are not watching a typical shounen battle fighting fantasy anime) ,everyone do something usefull ,and more Trivia about Goblin the thing i not particulary fond of episode (and the adaption as a whole) is the animation and CG it used ,i think that Stone Blast should looked like it did more damage(it did do more damage) considering the caster is a silver .and when goblin slayer got smashed by the ogre to the pillar ,the CG is so painfull to see ,the viewer supposed to be care that the main protagonist feel a lot of pain from that smash ,but instead the viewer is the one feeling the pain instead now that i think about it i kinda wondering when will they end this anime , or more than that  |
| Best episode so far The fight against hat giant Ogre is amazing |
| I like how some people are complaining about animation, yet these same people will go and defend anime like one piece and Dragon Ball super. Overall great episode and I must say Goblin Slayer is one hell of a crazy guy, the way he used teleportation was pretty amazing. |
| Just a random guy. |
| Meh I don't get it, the animation is really bad for a show just about action. Still enjoyable to watch a team going on missions in a fantasy rpg setting |
| poop |
| How the hell people can say animation was bad? For those who are saying animation was bad tell me, what is your standard for decent animation? |
| Just a random guy. |

Literally nobody think One Piece or Dragon Ball Super animation is good, you have been living under a rock or something. This anime animation is average at best. I can't think of a single thing this anime excell at. |
