I love everything about the episode, i'm just sad she doesn't get a cloak like in the LN and Manga.

We even got a WAKU WAKU!

Abosolute love this anime, love to see more and love to see everyone being hyped about it, as it deserved

Might just be in the manga then, though i thought i remembered a picture or something for the LN.
Anyway, it's there in the OP, so... idk.

I only ask that Fran listen to her teacher when he tells her to back off .... I remember that in Goblin Slayer the main character said that in a cave you should never use a long sword ........ don't even think about it to fran enter with that sword to a cave: C

Anyway, cute Fran is cute.

Not a lot really happened this episode, but it was worth getting to see Fran be all adorable (casual clothes + waku waku included), and I continue to love Shishou and Fran, they're just so wholesome. Fran's excitement about getting a room at the inn, and having Shishou's cooking, was just so so sweet.

The battle against all of those goblins is more of what I wanted to see, Fran being so determined against those odds~ she's awesome~ Hopefully though, that determination doesn't get her into trouble.
I'm also loving the running gag of Fran doing super badass stuff and then just being like, 'yep Rank G adventurer btw, nothing special', it's so good.

I'm okay now... At least... I want to be able to say that.

so the leak will out every week ? how can that happened ?.

It's not really being "leaked" it releases a week early on ABEMA(a Japanese streaming service) before the Japanese TV release. HIDIVE goes off the TV release date as does Bilibili. So if you sail the high seas you get it a week ahead

Bilibili does get it a week early as well. I watched this ep 3 on bilibili.

Only HIDIVE didn't get the rights to stream early.

This is definitely better than your usual mid isekai. I like how she's overpowered but not to the point where she's invincible, and her power is easily explained with the amazing weapon Teacher. My only issue with the episode is they ended up using fire type moves anyways, but I imagine that's just because that's just what Fran's most familiar. I really like the work they did in creating the goblins as well.

Excellent episode.

Blacksmith Garrus wasn't a bad person after all, that was nice.

Shopping part was cute. Fran looked nice in all those clothes.

You can't really call Fran an OP MC now. She is OP to some extent. As the level of goblins increased it was hard for her to keep fighting them. She's steadily becoming stronger though. The goblin stampede is going to be her biggest challenge now. But before that let's see if Fran is able to endure and beat all those intellengent golbins.

Those 3 could be potential party members but they are too weak to be with someone like Fran so I dunno.

I really want to see the adult Fran lol. I hope the anime adapts till that part.

5/5.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Goblin stampede... not sure where, but I saw that (the logic behind it) before in a anime...
other than that, I'm curious about where the story goes.
Goblins being one of the main plot points was teased in the first episodes.

Another wholesome episode but Fran might be pushing herself too hard there at the end against those goblins.

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

I honestly did not expect such a tame episode, it had me on edge assuming that everything was going a bit too well as Fran went exploring around.

It was really cool to see though, there was some cute shots all throughout as well but despite all that I'm still not letting my guard just yet as the next episode could go into more serious territory again.

Pretty solid follow up episode as a whole, the series is doing a decent job at keeping me intrigued considering I originally thought it would be the generic reincarnation anime we usually get.

I am a reader of the novel and believe me that this anime is not generic because although at first it seems that it can do everything even if it strives in the battles much later than where it goes through the manga there will be very broken characters

So, Shishou is a very special sword. I wonder who forged him.

Fran looked cute in those different clothes. :3

Aww, that reaction when she liked their room. She's so adorable. ^^

Their relationship is something really heartwarming. <3

Very nice battle with the goblins.

"I will never... back down!" Fran is such a badass.

It is a question that you will have to wait a long time for it to be resolved.

Unfortunately i don't think we'll get Floating island arc, unless they can squeeze that in ep 11 and 12 but i doubt it.

Hmm ofc theres a legendary weapon that can even tear apart the sky xd. Well at least those divine blacksmith was a truly a fascinating information for this episode and the dwarf will make a good use of those item! Speedrun through some basic things, that's necessary, and then mental Fran being tested by those goblin simultaneous attacks. Can she handle it alone and get the one-man army title already at her level? Let's see next!

Well, it's fun and all but I'm not sure if I want to continue, this seems too focused on a cute Fran and cute sword which isn't a bad thing, just not my thing.

From what i remember from the manga so far, there is more to it than just that, it gets more interesting as it progresses other than just their relationship, i'd recommend sticking with it for now

Fran is so cute with her new clothes!!! Well done!

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
