THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Heh, the Cow Girl came back. Is it also just me or does the Elf Archer seems more girly now than her debut episode?

Witch girl is back too and she isn't holding back on her sexiness LOL. Felt like this episode was fleshing out some of the lesser prominent characters. As I had expected, there was some violence with adventurers fighting giant rats and insects in some dungeon.

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.

YESSSS, all that Receptionist screentime, I'm a happy man. XDD
Not even Goblin Slayer can refuse a request from best girl Receptionist. <3

I loved all of Receptionist reactions during that trial scene, from her sly and snide remarks towards that other dude and her cute blushing when she admitted she liked Goblin Slayer. I give huge points for this episode. xD

Speaking of which, I actually liked the little side story about that pair hunting in the sewers and the guy getting back his weapons. The Radroaches are just ughh, I'm always terrified by them. I was hoping they'd just burn all of em. :3

I guess this episode also shows that Goblin Slayer isn't really much for talk considering he mused about having to run into literally everyone he knows.

The witch's breasts are a bottomless pit in more ways than one. xD

Ending was super interesting, is that the sword maiden that was mentioned in this episode at the end? Looking forward to it.

This episode proved that Goblin Slayer is secretly a harem anime disguised as a dark fantasy.

In seriousness, it was another episode I liked. Equal amount of action and character interactions made it a fun episode.

Goblins and orcs, I am ok with that but...giant rats and bugs? This world is really FUC*ED up!
Nice "calm" episode but is it true that they skipped a lot of things including "that" battle? I hope they are not totaly ommiting that...

Also did someone notice at one moment the giant rats were making the same noises than the goblins?

Did they just skip the entire village defense arc and added anime-original trash?

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Not only is that arc of extreme importance to GS' Character, it also gives us a lot of details about the other silver adventurers.

I'm very, very dissapointed.

Okay im kinda angry. Did they fucking skip the village war arc? The fuck? I guess it would be hard to animate 100 adventurers + lots of goblins.

BUT WTF THAT ARC WAS REALLY IMPORTANT ABOUT GS's character development!

Ok lets be real.The episode might seem good to anime onlys but source material readers will be incredibly confused.I believe that they skipped the final arc and went straight into volume two so that they can finish the season with the final battle of volume one.If that is the case then i think its ok.If they skip this arc entirely then i will be incredibly dissapointed.

calm down people, this episode adapts from side story manga: goblin slayer brand new day, it's not a filler and nobody said they're gonna skip the village war arc. It's very understandable since they only adapt one volume of the LN, so of course they're gonna add some more material from side story manga.
i predict village war arc will be in last 4 episode of the anime.

They skipped to the Sword Maiden arc. Makes no sense if village war happens after this.

this wasn't an anime original episode, the rookie adventurers part was from the 1st ch of the side manga' brand new day', the rest was some bits of ch 10 and chapter 17 of the manga but it looks like they are swapping the order of the arcs, they probably want to use the invasion arc for the season finale, maybe that was the original order in the LN? idk, apparently the anime is adapting the LN and not the manga. still this is gonna be a weird order of episodes

According to the Goblin Slayer wiki, nope. The Village Defense is in volume 1. Sword Maiden is volume 2. They switched it.

Not exactly... because Brand New Day manga is only adaptation of 4 volume of the LN - which is a collection of side stories.

Seems that they decided to use the subplot of the daily life of rookie adventurers in the side story Goblin Slayer Brand New Day. Quite a nice change of pace for the monster killing variety since the shows been killing goblin since episode 1.

Some side characters gets fleshed out and the was gold to see Witch's hidden inventory between her cleavage lol

For any Manga and LN readers, don't panic for the skip of the latter part of Vol 1 and jump straight to Vol 2 since it should a deliberate move from White Fox. The climax of Vol 1 is most probably in the season finale since the Climax of Vol 1 suits better to end the series than Vol 2.

So we watched a kid get his sword back and some shithead try to lie his way through his promotion exam. That's great and all, but I want to see some goblins. That's why I'm watching this show. And while I'm on that train of thought, it was pretty funny when GS assumed the receptionist was going to tell him about a goblin-related mission, then turned around to leave when she said it wasn't lol.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

it would be nice if they slip in a side story once every arc

let’s just hope they switch the arc to Sword Maiden first then the Village War for the final episode.

because really, the end of Village War arc can become a pretty good way ending of the series rather than Sword Maiden arc, at least in the manga.

just wait for the next week then, too early to jump into conclusions. Since the beginning i always believe this anime wouldn't get to vol 2 bc SM didn't got VA. She's a key people, too weird if they didn't announce her VA.

After reading all these comments, I'm not really surprised that this episode isn't part of the main plot. It was ok, but I'm watching this show for different reasons.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I wonder why. Did Sword Maiden appeared in the radio drama? If she did maybe White Fox would just use her VA...

The title for next episode is Goblin Slayer in the Water Town so I doubt they're going to adapt fillers instead jumping straight to Vol. 2. Makes me wonder will White Fox include
in next episode.

Get fucked White Fox. Terrible switching to CG for no reason is already bad enough but these motherfuckers didn't even make character model for GS without the armour. He was supposed to be walking around in regular clothes for the most of the day. Why add some noobs from a side story (and botch it anyway) instead of following the main story...

Also, what the hell was with that stupid and cheerful music when GS and Priestess were talking about kids from the first episode dying... How the hell was that other priestess feeling the warmth of the candle while it's in a lantern... What happened to the human sized bug and why is the priestess using sword instead of staff...

But most importantly, what the actual fuck happened to defending the farm? They even showed goblin lord at the end of the last episode, what happened to all that?

These garbage studio and staff are really hell bent on making a terrible adaptation. For fucks sake, couldn't someone competent get this production...

Jesus christ what a terrible episode. And i usually defend the series but...what the hell? They did so many cuts, animation and art dropped to the minimum, Mixed a side story from brand new day and skipped over an entire arc?

Also why they skipped the flashback and avoided to show any part that gave some insight on the main character?

If you are interested in the series read the manga or the novel because with this episode i can confirm the adaptation level is below average

So because they skipped the Goblin Lord arc, we wont get to see

-GS requesting help from all the adventurers
-Guild Girl offering 1 gold each goblin head just so people would help GS. Shows how much she likes him.
-A cool war of adventurers against thousands of goblins, wolf rider goblins and goblin brutes.
-People starting to respect GS
-GS and priestess vs Goblin Lord
-Flashbacks of the Goblin Lord showing why adventurers SHOULDNT let baby goblins live.
-How evolution of goblins happen if you let one go
-GS saying "I guess I want to become an adventurer" in the after victory party, everybody having fun.
-GS taking of his helmet and everybody drooling over him. Cuz he is handsome af.
-And WE WONT BE ABLE TO SEE GS SMILE

Already got flag from before episode. The manga portray orcbolg obsession to the extreme better, the anime did it but it felt weaker. A lot of tiny important bit skipped, how a lot of villager and advnturer didnt recognize him without his helmet, interaction with cowgirl which really important on add bit more to orcbolg obssesion, and it suppose to show some relaxing moment for him.

The defense arc is great and yet they skip it, orcbolg open up to ask help, his willing to protect his girl, recognition from other people that he actually deserve, how the small goblin develop, and more.

If they decide to switch the arc, then they need to do something to make it work.
(Its a possibility, but honestly i doubt it)
Edit : although i could see it ending with him gaining recognition. And it actually make a good ending.

For anime watcher view, the episode probably fine for them, aside from the switching 2d and 3d.
