Goblins, interactions in an interspecies party centered around a guy with an obsession with killing the creatures, undetailed gore, off-screen (and not directly mentioned) rape, guerilla warfare, infiltration, long ears cutely twitching, low tension and drama level (too rushed), pleasant to watch art and some of the animations. It feels like watching a recap episode and two regular S1 episodes that complete a single arc. Nice, easy to watch material for those with sturdier stomachs.
For those that watched S1: you can treat it like described above: a recap + 2 normal episodes. Average Goblin Slayer quality. There's a new enemy though.
For those that are new
...
to Goblin Slayer: you're probably better off watching S1 first or at least skipping the first 30mins that would spoil the whole S1. What follows is on the level of average episodes, so if you like it, then it only gets better in S1.
In comparison to the light novel: rushed. There's too little tension because of it. Originally the party has spent quite some time in the enemy territory and this created high tension after a while. This movie would be much better if they cut out the recap part and gave this time to the final expedition. Cuts in other places were okay. I'd give more time to Noble Fencer though, but only if the total run time was extended.
BTW the girl they rescue is called Noble Fencer. I've just realized that I haven't heard it mentioned in the dub even once.
6/10, will watch the prettier parts again.
