Terrible start after such a long wait. Literally the "no you don't need goblin slayer we have goblin slayer at home" meme. Another kid with a tragic past angry at goblins except he's a whiney effeminate boy this time and taking priestess away from goblin slayer. My expectations couldn't be lower.

Average start from goblin slayer but that smile from cow girl caught my attention.

Not sure how I feel about the studio change. Some of the artwork looks good, but the characters were definitely downgraded a bit. The animation looks a little bit cheaper too with less frames for the movement.

Reusing the parts from the first reasons right away makes this seem pretty desperate.

Anime usually start out seasons with episodes they put real effort into, this just feels slow and kinda... lazy.

That was super boring. Can't believe we spent an entire episode at the guild and nothing happened.

Please don't tell me that this season is going to be about the priestess.

And volumes 3 and 4?
Got completely skipped.
@MadanielFL skipping vol 4 is understandable because vol 4 is a collection of side stories that doesn't focus on Goblin Slayer. Vol 3 however looks like it'll be a part of season 2 endgame.

first thing that spring in to my eye's, after the OP is the drop in graphic quality, it looks subpar to season 1. Second is to loud music while the conversations going on, it becomes annoying.
Third cliche annoying brat. Beside that normal first episode setting things up.

I was wondering why I couldn't remember the name of the characters, and then it came back to me they DON'T USE NAMES.
That was a slow and kind of sweet start for a Goblin Slayer episode - therefore I expect sh*t to go down later on.

I think this was the best single episode this franchise has had so far. I'm speechless. They actually had an epic battle that was both suspenseful and had excellent fight choreography while they slaughter dozens of goblins and a troll. Goblin Slayer has an actual character moment. It actually looked good and was consistently entertaining to watch. I was fully intending on hate-watching this season since I thought the first season was garbage, but this actually gives me hope that S2 could become a legit good anime!

I dont know what to say but i felt like crying at the end becouse the original spirit of the old series just wasnt there anymore. I thought maby i just lost interest but its not true after watching the old first episode i was pumped and had goose bumps from exitement. New series start was just trash, animation is teriblle and backrounds are laughfable. Only emotion I had, was plain sadnes.

Bro is invited to sleep in someone else's house and think it is good for him to pound someone else's desk, if season 2 keeps the cringe of this first episode, I will drop the series quickly.

awesome mili OP returns.
most noob/mid adventurers, that Guts, & that Jalter dont recall at all. think i missed a film.
lidenfilms did decent job on character art. good focus on Orcbolg & Priestess.
cast cameo & a bratty wizard probably not the best way to premiere.

I dont know about you, but as a support I would definitely not want to rely on a little shithead like this when slaying goblins. Whats this dudes issue anyway?

Imo there is a limit to how stupid someone is allowed to be before they need to be put onto a special list and badmouthing the party of the dude who just gave you a free room is definitely beyond that

Goblin Slayer is back!
And from what everyone is saying, it's starting with the volume 6 of the Light Novel, which means I will need to eventually watch the movie that was released, before catching up with the rest of the episode (although I watched 2 already before getting this info). I wonder if the volumes 3 and 4 aren't important for not getting adapted.
This episode starts right off the bat with a recap of the iconic 1st episode of the anime. I'm still shocked by that episode, it's engraved in my mind.
Besides that, the episode was quite chill, reminding us of the cast, and doing some set up for the second episode.
Mili did the opening once again, and I'm glad they did, their songs are amazing! Not a really big fan of the ending though...
Love how 50% of Goblin Slayer's dialogue is still "Goblins" or something related to that.
Is it just me, or has the artwork changed a bit? It seems more rough. I know they changed studios, but it's a shame nonetheless, because I think I prefered the S1 artwork more (or maybe I'm just recalling it wrongly),
Let's get ready for this anime full of gore once again!

Great to see the GS and the gang back with more adventures. The opening just had to start with what happened in the first episode of season 1. The animation quality looks good.

That arrogant wizard boy though. With that attitude, he's not gonna last long in a goblin fight. Thinks he can just fight a goblin that easily.

We already know adventurers meet a gruesome end when they underestimate a goblin.

The new studio is using a color palette with more vibrant colors, but the drawing has taken a toll. Tbf, it's not that bad.

Ofc, they have the begin the second season with that scene from the first episode of season one.

The opening looks incredible! Especially Goblin slayer lol.

Hmmm, the art style and soundtrack for this season makes it feel worlds apart from season 1… it’s too cutesy and missing the gritty darkness that made the first season standout.

Lindenfilms was NOT the studio to take over this project. Their style just doesn’t suit Goblin Slayer.

Really hope this season will be good cause the first was so amazing
