Oh my, they threw in some bath fan service this episode lol

Looks like Goblin Slayer, Elf, Priestess, etc are going back to that underground area for further exploration. As expected, there were goblins to be slayed! It felt kinda like another boss fight with the hoard of goblins and against one tougher goblin (I'd say he's weaker than the Ogre)

Priestess' magic needs a bit improvement imo but at least she tried. Quite a bit of action and violence this episode if you ask me.

Priest wet herself again.
Well an intense battle at the end but they somehow survived tho it looks like Goblin slayer is out for the time being.
The question now is how are they going to recover.

I was kinda disappointed in this ep, I was expecting THE GS heroic second wind to be more...than this, because it was.
They cut up a lot of content and Priestress didn't lost her whole shoulder like she originally did.
And...the ending, that was...a thing.

A lot of violence in this episode. Goblin Slayer taking on that giant ogre.

Looks like the group managed to survive.

It's a Goblin Champion, not an Ogre. They'd all be dead if this was an Ogre lmao.

They skipped Elf being flirty with GS to make those cunts at the in jealous. Sad... Also that was a VERY VERY underwhelming "Who is next?" scene.

Other than those, i dont have any complaints. GS choking and gouging g*blins eye was great.. AND that GS having flashbacks of her sister while elf and priestess screaming was a STRONG scene. Loved it

Fantastic episode, I was on the edge of my seat for the whole fight.

Those filthy goblins better not lay their hands on my Elf Girl, Priestess too for that matter.

The episode was brutal as hell, the part where GS takes that blow from the Goblin Champion and the part were the Goblin Champion bites into the Priestess's arm were extremely painful to watch, like holy shit.
GS awakening again and chocking the champion eventually gouging his eyes out was pure awesome, did he drink some sort of potion? They seemed to be hinting at it.

I'm glad the group survived without any causalities bar some injuries especially with GS who looks like he's gonna be out of it for a while.

The shot from the canary's eye at the end was really nice but I felt they dragged it on too long.

Looking forward to next week. I also appreciate the fan service with Sword Maiden. xD

Finally, a bloody and action packed episode again. Goblin Slayer went absolutely savage there.

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

Good fight, but was it necessary to make that last shot a minute and a half long? I mean I get that it's important, but we all know they aint killing the character that the show is named after in episode 7.

Also, for once I would have liked to hear some rage or tonal change from GS' voice when he went berserk. It would justify a bit more his successful intimidation roll.

I feel that the this episode toned down on violence while elf was being attacked and it looked like priestess's whole arm was gone but when she was laying down it's just flesh wound and there wasn't much blood
Taking out the eye was great

The first episode wasn't what I expected coming to this anime but it made me interested in this approach of gruesome and bloody i am disappointed in how this episode is Goblin Slayer looks more ominous when he is fighting than compares to his awakening in this episode

I am more worried about next episode with what they are going to do with his

That "average plot" is the main charm of the series though...
Just goblin slayer doing his stuff while we learn about him and the characters around him...
At least, that's what 'I' like the most, especially in the source material/s.

We all thought that was the case too. And damn, it felt badass for some reason... hoping that his Sensei was actually a Goblin. Also makes sense why he said that "the good goblins are those that don't come out of their caves" in the First Episode/Chapter.

Agree with that. I have seen lots of people bitching about the series having hollow 'no name' character but imo it has a unique charm in itself. Goblin Slayer has to be taken casually, something which doesn't allure hardcore anime fans.

I didn't though.

Okay, perverted jokes aside, I didn't and 'can't' forget about that scene since it hinted what the Sword Maiden went through.

Pretty good episode, enjoyed it. Priestess being a weak link for the team, as shown in the episode. Why didn't GS just keep strangling the Goblin Champion? He almost killed it, but instead decided to rip out one of it's eye's and let it survive.

Little bit too much blood shown when the Goblin Champion bit the priests arm tbh. Well i still enjoy seeing gore so whatever. Was there any ''meaning'' behind the canary's eye view? Just seemed like being the same scene looped again and again for over a minute. Lol

That's also a massive plus since the contrast to it's "casual" atmosphere where there are demon lords and stuff while GS just doesn't give a fk WHILE the graphical representation and sensitive topics that are tackled get depicted to the extreme is such a feast to the eyes and hearts of the viewers. Mixed feelings of joy, sadness, badass, uncomfort (screw the goblin rapes), and 'hopes' that GS gets what he deserves for his service more.

The response from the elf's party was hillarious. Guess cheese is the perfect cure for the lizard. Sword maiden's words sure were cryptic. The goblin's trap sure was creative but matched only by GS's quick thinking. The fight sure was pretty brutal and seeing GS get injured like that really shows how powerful the champion was. The situation sure was grim for the party. GS's counterattack though was pretty satisfying. An excellent episode that while featuring brutal combat that almost ended badly for the party also did well in showing the trust that was built among the party. One hell of a cliffhanger though. Loved the ending music though.

It had a lot of intensity but some bits of this episode were so fucking bad.

Like the minute and a half at the end with the blinking shot. That was so unnecessary for it to be that long. Felt like a YouTuber trying to extend their video to 10 minutes for more monetization, and I did not really expect that kind of B.S in anime out of all places.

Some CG was also wank in this one.

Atleast, GS went brutal again, which it was lacking for its past few episodes.

I'm still wrapping my head around the canary-view... but I guess Goblin Slayer failed to finish the Gob-Champ cuz he was too exhausted and injured, and as seen, his hand even bled. Also, they are all weak and helpless on their own, that's why I thought anyone would get munched on while 1v1-ning that Big boy.

Umu, umu. I'm excited for more Gob-Champs get rekt in 'that arc'. Though I think the Anime won't reach it... Well anyways, good episode.

I see one of the reasons why this arc should've been later rather than this early on. When it's half way into the series, you know the MC is probably going to survive any life threatening damage that comes. This outcome would've been more tragic if it was closer to the end. The 2 minute loop didn't help either. You'd expect at least one person to call out his name repeatedly. Or have them rush for help while leaving the bird behind. If they wanted to play the tragic music that much, they needed to time it better. Not drag it out with an animated loop.

Ah, this was some good action. My min gripe about this episode is how much time they wasted on a fucking canary's eye instead of using it either on the guild scene or the battle itself. Hell, they even skipped goblin pissing itself upon seeing GS throwing away champion's eyeball and pointing at them. It was both wasteful and pretentious. Shame staff making this series is so poor.

Everyone is like, "My only complaint is the ending." However, I now have a secondary complaint:

I really want to see that elf ladies tits. She was shirtless for like the last fourth of this episode.

The incredibly gory stuff this episode honestly wasn't my thing. I could of done without it, but meh. Kind of interested to see where the story goes from here.

Edit: Oh shit, look at my post count. Blaze it.

Well, that escalated quickly. Shit hit the fan real quick but good ol' Goblin Slayer went absolutely nuts to save the day. That was pretty entertaining stuff right there.

The party, GS especially, got a lot of injuries (and thank goodness elf girl wasn't raped) but somehow managed to pull through. Like others have mentioned, I really didn't like the end of the episode with the canary's eye. I was sitting there the whole time waiting for something to happen, and I even focused intensely on the group expecting to see some kind of movement, but nope. That shouldn't have lasted as long as it did.

Also, side note, but GS going crazy with that red eye effect reminded me of Berserker from Fate/Zero.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Why fav scene of best girl not in there
the attempted rape scene felt done well at least when compared visually to manga
But like if they were going to do like a 2 minute loop of eye closing and opening why was that not removed to make time for this instead of saying Dwarf simply saved her

Yup, I would rather White Fox utilize that last 1 minute to show High Elf Archer's clobbering goblins than the almost static Canary Eye view...

Brutal episode. Those two minutes focusing on the eye of the canary were too long, but other than that, rest was dope as heck. Hell, if this would have been the last episode, I might even believe Goblin Slayer was indeed dead.

This show annoys me on one point: goblins are simultaneously extremely weak and extremely strong. I assume this is never reconciled in the plot as they continue to almost die to "weak" enemies.
