After watching so many OP MC's lately... goblin slayer seem quite underwhelming.

yea i guess it's a bit misleading to see him portrayed as a badass doomguy with glowing red eyes and all but in the end he's just an average adventurer with a crippling overspecialization.

i guess i can accept that the story is about a regular joe's struggle but they inflated his image and glorify basic stuff like preparing basic precautions when entering a lair of tiny killer rapists.

i mean surely as experienced adventurers and being creatures with literally thousand years of experience you'd expect them to already know basic things like concealing your smell and presence when entering enemy territory. are demons, dragons or other high level creatures in that world dumber than a bunch of goblins that you don't have to be prepared to hunt them?

Because he is not the 'prophesied chosen one'. He is just a regular guy who wants to wipe out all goblins for killing his onee-chan. He is a person on hellbent vengeance. He wants blood. He doesn't care if the whole world goes to hell. He just wants to decimate goblinkin.

In isolation that should be ok but the underwhelming feeling stems from the fact that overlord just ended, slime and black clover is airing.

for me the story tells us that sometime we always over look the obvious thing that we considered just as nothing. people in that world were mostly focused on the other higher things such as defeating the demon lord, dragons and other high tier villains.

hence the goblin are somewhat being pushed aside and never been brought up as a real threat. The newbie adventures thought it was an easy job even the pros so they never seems to do research about goblins. the lack of knowledge is somehow the adventures fault cause like i said, they (the GS society) consider the goblin as mere pest.

anyways its a good set up of a story thats a bit dark for some. call me easily entertained or whatever but i do feel the story is quite good and organic and not really forceful and yeah ive read the manga for quite sometimes so i do know the story quite further and im gonna bet some of u will be entertained and some might push it further away.

Was thinking if they cut that out due to the response of the first episode. That was my favorite part in the manga.

Goblin Lord arc is pretty straightfoward in storytelling and hyped in a good way, they might save it for last.

As for Sword Maiden arc, it's full of exposition and character background exploring = draggy. Best put in the middle.

I don't know why they skipped to Sword Maiden arc so quickly. They jumped so many episodes like the Goblin army vs adventurers. Unless they want to end season 1 already

I think its a good move to rearrange the arc. The meat shield arc for me personally is the best arc to end the season.

"Did you saw?"

"Yeah I saw, there were no scars so you're fine"

Take this dialogue out of context and you'll get a late 90's hentai

as the usual, any episodes with x.5 is a flashback episode.... boring.
