In a world of fantasy, adventurers come far and wide to join the Guild, in order to complete contracts for whatever jobs are available. An inexperienced priestess joins her first adventuring party, but comes into danger after her first adventurer contract involving goblins goes wrong. After the rest of her party is wiped out, she is saved by a man known as Goblin Slayer, an adventurer whose only purpose is the eradication of goblins with extreme prejudice.

based on ep1 impression, if you like gore, rape, no mercy, none respawn RPG adventure with real emotion and fear right before KIA, goblin prawn... yea, this would be one for you. title says it all, goblin slayer... expect nothing but adventurer killing goblin... many many different genre of goblin... gua tongue.gif

Nice Anime..never would have thought that Goblins would rape humans...especially when you think of Goblins like those in Overlord.

Why not? almost every genre out there (famous one RE:MOnster) show goblin rape humans to reproduce because goblins female reproduction ability is very low. Even Overlord is the same with the exceptions the one being summoned by the horn of course.

ive read the manga way before it was getting animated. i was really into it. it got that realism in it. the story was nicely told, the character build up is decent, the manga drawing are very nice and story wise its a bit dark. i will say i will enjoy this anime but i hope the censorship will be as minimal as possible.

i tot they were experience ones? but still failed to the goblins.

there were some backlash especially from the 1st episode. i usually dont dive in head 1st on the anime and ive read the manga before so i know what to expect. this anime is not for the faint of heart.

If they got killed by goblins, they are noobs tongue.gif Of course, next to Goblin Slayer, everyone else is noob at killing goblins.

the people that didnt feel nothing from the rape scenes watched too many hentai's.

Until they animated the meatshield scene, his wife might mistaken that for BDSM scene.

Stuff from Year One manga was more brutal.

i dont mind really. its a part of a story and the scene is done quite tamely to be honest (of course the censorship comes in play). its not to arouse us, its to feel disgusted over what the goblins can and will do once they got u.

its a story build up for us to know that the goblin in this verse do heinous acts and made us the viewers hate the goblin for what it is....

at the end of the day, we are not mentally the same, some take things seriously while others takes this as a part of story telling.

98% comments in this thread talking about goblin rape. 2% talking about plot, characters and others.

Meh. Nothing special about this anime. Will forgotten once series ended just like typical LN/manga adapted anime.

TBH, the epi 1 was disappointing.
they did not put in the introductory scenes of the guys/girls that were going to be killed.
it would have made a better impact for the showing the brutalities. more feels.

btw, this is not even very gory nor heartbreaking.

if u watched berserk: the golden age. that is brows.gif brows.gif brows.gif

may i know where the plot is heading?

other than the shock factor (or shiok factor, depanding on how you look at it) there doesn't seem like much is going on in this animu.

very bland, one dimensional and serious protag. killing the same dumb enemy only noobs having trouble with. a bit preachy with the whole morality of the MC hunting goblins and not hunting fame thing. very fanservice-y.

also what's up with the MC never taking off his battle gear? he reminds me of an mmo character farming loot for a quest or something.

also is the MC the childhood friend of the busty cowgirl?

If you ask me, the main point of the series isn't about an OP MC saving the world or something. The author is inviting us, the reader to learn more the very normal and, just as vulnerable man known as Goblin Slayer, his motivation, his anger, his internal struggle. All the action are secondary.

So with that said, it's up to you whether you want to give this series a chance. icon_rolleyes.gif

yea i guess you're right. it's like a slice of life-ish story about one particular adventurer in a crapsack fantasy world.

have you been following the story in the manga or novel? in the anime they show bit of the background story of the place about gods playing dice and whatnot. i wonder if that will lead somewhere.

i'll chime in on what i know. the dice in the anime actually similar to a board game called dungeons and dragons. some say the author are influenced by that game.

ive been reading the manga for a while and i do like the setting of the story. it feels more organic and serious. i do admit its not for everyone taste but im sure hell love the series.

yeah it's pretty obvious that the world is modeled after the typical D&D/mmo-ish fantasy setting but with a twist that the whole adventurer vs monster thing have tragic consequences. But somehow everyone other than our goblin slayer seems to be oblivious of this fact and still treat it as an mmo where death and rape is something surprising and you actually need careful tactics and planning to go fight monsters instead of just hacking n' slashing or spell spamming your way through.

other than that the story is played straight about a lone hero with tragic background start getting comrades to care for and learn that there are bigger things than his personal obsession and start to bond and grow together yada yada.

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.

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?

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

is it me... or this week's story abit odd... certain things doesn't match up.

1) when did they open the float gate to flush the water up to the top of the castle? did i miss something?

2) why priestess went panic when she cast purification on the goblin shaman? she cause an enemy leader immobilized should be a good thing, right? why suddenly panic and sorry for enemy?
