if not seen already... You should watch (I think you'll LOVE it) and react (would love to see it) to: Claymore (26 episodes) Claymore is the female version of Berserk (and Goblin Slayer and Demon Slayer) and has similar character design to that of the Witcher series (as they all came out around the same time, more or less, likely all influencing each other). Clare truly is Guts’ long lost sister of the sword. While having nearly an entire female cast, this is no "girly anime", there's no/zero fanservice, and even their chest sizes are realistic, as these girls are all business, and that business is killing yomas The girls are known as "Silver-Eyed Witches", as they're half-human and half-yoma, giving them their superhuman and inhuman power and abilities. They also are known as "Claymores", due to wielding 6 ft long claymore swords, and with only 1 hand, and they know how to use them. You don't f'k these girls, they f'k you. Everyone LOVES Claymore, I've yet to meet a single person who doesn't love it, and also girls too love Claymore surprisingly, despite that Claymore is more of a guy's anime (action, violence, etc). Also, Claymore is the most similar anime to Attack On Titan, even spoiling some major concepts in Attack On Titan. But, it's also completely different from Attack On Titan, of course. So, if you like Attack On Titan, you'll definitely love Claymore as well! If you think Mikasa is sexy and badass... wait until you see Clare (and someone else too)... grins (japanese/raw or english dub, both are very good, you can see which you like better)
@@shyguy5473 and don't forget most of "reviews" by anime expert mostly focused on that scene, rather than paying close attention to detail of the story, like for instance the change of GS act from episode 5-12 was completely different from last four episode, no one take that detail, which pissed me off even more when no one talk about the strategy he uses
@@anggisuwandi2404 goblin slayer start heavy and then start to litten which is the opposite for a lot of anime that start light hearted till the finale episode where it get dark.
Goblin Slayer took the romanticized fantasy monsters and made them monstrous once again. You take one look at goblins in this world and you understand why he fights. It falls into the Grim Dark genre and that is hard to stomach for a lot of people but that in itself doesn't make it a bad show. It's what the show does with those themes and that genre that matters most and I say Goblin Slayer really sticks the landing.
My favorite thing about season 1 is the growth of Priestess. She starts the season being in over her head, helpless and being saved by Goblin Slayer. But at the end she’s wiser, stronger and comes in like a boss to save Goblin Slayer parallel to how he saved her.
Yes! She has a great story arc. I also liked how the Sword Maiden hiding in the church reflected what the priestess could've become. And on the other end of the spectrum there's Goblin Slayer, obsessed with killing them all. Between the three of them she's actually the most sane and maybe even the strongest mentally.
Priestess, in essence becomes Goblin Slayer, but without his psychological trauma and issues, and yes, Sword Maiden is literally what happens when you're NOT saved by Goblin Slayer, Sword Maiden really had a RIGHT to be jealous, angry, and bitter at Priestess, getting saved by Goblin Slayer, whereas no one ever came to save her... poor Sword Maiden, no "knight in shiny... ugly... armor" ever came to save her...
@@redmoonbloodmoon3161 She had the samurai come into her life and pretty much save her after the goblin incident. Her life would have been even worse if not for him. But that's a whole other story in it's own.
Fun fact: The English VA for Goblin Slayer himself did the Mo-cap for the doom slayer in doom 2016. Also if youre looking for more goblin slayer, Grimmjack has done an abridged version
The series is dark and grotesque but there’s more to the series. Interesting fights and strategy. And ya the MC nearly died a few times. Goblin Slayer is dead pan and cold but that is related to his trauma. It’s funny how the entire cast are simply titles or descriptions like High Elf or Goblin Slayer. A lot of the strategies are like when you come up with something unique in DND. With a studio change, hopefully season 2 production still holds up well
Nah, to further expand on just how gigabrain the bit with the scroll was, it was a scroll of Gate. If you've ever played DND, that particular spell is in the echelon of the strongest possible magic mortals can use. He goes to a high level sorceress in the Guild and has her link the destination of the scroll to the *bottom of the ocean*, which he stated he'd intended to use it to flood out a goblin nest if needed. Instead, he winds up using it like a high pressure water canon to cut a larger enemy in half so he can walk up and finish it off. Definitely one of my favorite moments of his next to having the priestess use Barrier to trap goblins in a burning elven fortress to asphyxiate them and having the party use a mirror with Gate transcribed in it as an umbrella from a falling ceiling.
Two unique things about this series that I find interesting: 1. It's... technical fantasy. As in "this is how things are done, this is how they work". Its elements all fit together perfectly and work to both set the stage and enable its resolution. I love me a good technical fantasy. 2. Strangely enough, I just... can't seem to be able to read the light novel. But the manga and definitely the anime... I sure as hell can, and enjoy every minute of them. Because of its technical presentation, with all the "hows" and "whys", I feel that this, the anime, is the best possible format this story can have, for then you can truly feel all its impactful power. More so with Mili's stellar ost, especially the track "From Within". My favorite. So yeah, so glad we have Goblin Slayer, aka "Orcbolg" (as Elf Archer calls him, I like that name) back to massacre the filthy green vermin.
I love this series. For one it really shows how even the simplest enemies can be a serious threat and should not be underestimated. Them there is d&d element. Where is like story you play with dungeon master and character refer to them self in titles. The character have depth and growth and there consequences to taken actions.
Goblin Slayer had a few "problematic'" moments, but those moments showed the darkness in the world. How it's not all roses and daisies. These moments give the drive to fight, and not everyone wins. I am looking forward to S2 and hope they keep the hard edge.
GS is basically the best example of how to use what is usually problematic and have it just make a world feel edgy in a good way. Similar to a game of thrones
One of the problems were some of the anime reviewers like Mother's Basement who over-exaggerated the shock scenes, then misconstrued the entire story, and then proceeded to refuse to properly watch the show before making huge statements about the show as a whole based on one scene. And he wasn't the only one. Meanwhile, the people who actually watched the show, or read the light novel, knew what was actually going on. And we were discussing the matters in details because there is a lot to unpack. But the discussion was ultimately just overtaken by these righteous mobs crying foul, similarly to what they did with the Rising of the Shield Hero. Complaining about the first episode, talking about how problematic it is, thinking that the whole show was solely based on that first episode, and failing to actually understand the actual story being told and the cleverness of the show. Even after popular sentiment had shifted after the season fully aired and people who gave the show a shot pushed back on those incorrect judgement, these popular reviewers instead doubled down on their assessment without giving the show a proper fair shake. Oh and, something that doesn't get touched on in the anime, but does get mentioned in the light novel. One of the reason why he uses that awkward short sword and mediocre armor, is because if he dies he doesn't want to provide any meaningful equipment to the goblins. Essentially, he cares so much about the impact he may have that he even considers the potential damage he may cause when he dies.
If you can survive the shock of what happened to that beginner’s team at the hands of the goblins in Ep 1, you realize Goblin Slayer is a great series.
i find interesting how the first episode is such a filter for people, and how in universe, stuff like basic quests like goblin slaying or stuff like killing giant rats in the sewers, are also treated as filters, if you have bad luck, are a fool and such, you will fail, and if you die or cant spring back from that, you just werent made for the adventurer business at all, the first episode throws you the reality of the world that GS takes in and if you cant stomach it, are too short sighted and dont undertand it, or similar, you just werent fit for it, simple as that but also effective
Cowgirl comes from GS's village too. They are the only 2 survivors of their village. She was lucky to be taken for a trip by her uncle before the goblins attack the village. The side story with the boy and girl who went to exterminate sewer rats, is there to show GS's potential as an adventurer trainer. He gave them advice on how to recover the boy's sword. Later near the end of the series, the guild lady put forward an idea of a adventurer training school. Which opens up the possibility of GS becoming a trainer when he retires. GS has been thinking about his future, what would he do next when there are no more goblins to kill.
Finaly some GAWWWWWBLINSLAYER apprechiation. I'm glad someone shows so mutch love to it besides the usual "But that one scene" "but muh badass goblin killer"
Glad you enjoyed it, I'm looking forward to S2! Ngl the final scene where he takes off his helmet in front of everyone hits me in the feels everytime I watch it. I dunno why, but it feels so wholesome, that it can bring you to tears.
@kamikazelemming1552 Spear guy is awesome. They dont really show it in season one, but somewhere in the novels, he is a cool guy with Goblin Slayer, and it is clear in the newest episode
@@silva5623 Yeah, Spearman gets a lot of great moments later in the novels. One thing I hope to see this season is the mini-story where he, Goblins Slayer, and Heavy Warrior go on a quest to defeat an evil wizard hiding in a tower.
I like how in this story the main character are so smart but really badly get injured and nearly die. Also i like how the story shows how Goblin slayer was so badly injured from the past and now his emotions are slowly get broken down by his new party.
dude you were spot on! I'm so happy you liked goblin slayer! I remember when I first came across it I loved how tactical GS was, it's one of the few times in anime that I actually felt like the world actually made sense. I especially love that it didn't sugar coat how goblins reproduce at the beginning of the show and then move on to bigger scarier monsters and never worry about goblins again. I've heard it described (and agree with the idea) that Goblin Slayer is more like watching a veteran adventurer with PTSD slowly recover thanks to good companions while at the same time being a badass and hero to the people. Another great part is watching priestess grow in confidence and abilities from being a naive newbie to becoming an amazing Goblin slaying expert in her own right along with the other party members. Iirc there was some important information that was omitted in the anime that was included in the manga for some the scenes that make them so much better i.e. when the girls told him no fire, water, poison, or explosions its because they were worried in his pursuit of exterminating the goblins he would end up messing up the towns water ways/sewer system. I purposefully stopped myself from reading the manga so that i could enjoy the second season when it came out. it is definitely among my most anticipated amines coming out this season!
I loved season 1 of Goblin Slayer. Favorite part was how the GS did his job professionally like an exterminator-choosing the easiest and most straightforward methods than attempting to enjoy hand to hand combat.
The soundtrack, the fights, the emotional damage/ reconstitution, the SHEER DEEP satisfaction of watching those little shit's DIE, the women (may those who have suffered find themselves again), and best nectar boy along with the master of goblin manslaughter, I'm so HYPED!!!!!
Diefinitly one of my favorites. This is literally playing D&D, except that its been animated. As a fromer player/DM, I can really related to how this world works, and how brutal it can really get. The 1st episode alone said it all. Especially how the party got completely wiped out with the exception of a couple of survivors. I knew already that the Fighter was going to take the big one by sheer experience alone. On top of that you have a Martial Artist that has no choice but to get close and personal. A Mage that can only cast 1 maybe 2 spells at most, and on top of that, no combat experience. Last but not least, a Cleric that thought about it at first, was forced to join, and the end result, she becomes scared out of her mind, and with only 2 maybe 3 spells ready to cast. That usually happens when your starting out as a new group, and unfortunately, the kill rate is much more higher than you could have imagined (unless you have a GN that has intended to make things difficult from the start). What really drew me to this series is the combat and tactics that was being utilized, while each character has a set role to play. Also, since its based upon D&D Core Rules, it makes it even more interesting (considering that a sequence of a pair of dice being thrown down, showing that their fates are in the dice roll). I love it and I'm awaiting for it to air. Until next time, Enjoy!!
Goblin Slayer is top tier. Only way to believe that Goblin Slayer isn't a psychopath is by seeing how terrible Goblins are. Plus as a Killer Instinct fan... seeing Fulgore killing goblins in anime form was so great.
The fact that his village post a hunt for help against goblins and no one was interested in attend it , so his entire village and family was destroyed by goblins speak so well for his motives and obsession. This can be a really simple excuse, but its just so believable. Also love that his not a op character and his better strengh are knowledge and preparation. But even with that the unexpected can and will ruin everything, Also its so important to be taked by surprise and really believe that someone can actualy die (or worse). That's why walking dead and game of thrones are the better ones i remember at first, and this show have the same fellings into it.
I started watching this while on my phone (being played on my xbox) as background noise but like halfway into just listening I got intrigued and started over really enjoyed this show can't wait for what's next
People who lost their minds because of the scene towards the end of ep 1 with Fighter missed the point of it, which was to show why Goblin Slayer has made it his mission to wipe them all out. It served a purpose, it wasn't just there to be there.
I got to thank you man. I was looking for someone to talk about this show/story from a more civilized point of view and tell what's beyond man killing monsters and what is really about. I gonna give it shot! Thank you for this video dude!
the first ep when it came out did it for me. The way the party got wiped told me it was going to be a good one. Some times you need to see people die from mistakes, instead of candy.
I read both the light novel and the manga, and in comparison, the Goblin Slayer's combat rhythm and psychology are more finely tuned, with subtle micro-interactions and details. Of course, the anime had to cut some arcs, especially the one about the festival where there's some introspection. The writing is as direct and raw as the protagonist. But despite his armor, we can still make out bits of feeling and humanity through his visor. Because beyond the slaughter of the little demons, what's interesting is the Goblin Slayer's impact on the others and vice versa. Where Goblin Slayer can be hard to get to grips with is that it has the narrative structure of a storybook. Each chapter/episode features a goblin hunt, always in a very straightforward style. Skimming through them can feel like reading Little Red Riding Hood over and over again. But the storytelling and character development is hidden in the details that change this routine.
I didn't expect Grimgar appreciation in a Goblin Slayer discussion but you're so right about that comparison and I really need more of that angle where yeah, anything can go wrong and even the weakest enemies are still threatening because of the circumstances. Grimgar was snubbed too early, they had a great thing going with that show, not being afraid of death and the reality of the world the characters are in. When an isekai can immerse so much that you forget it's even an isekai you know that you've found something special. Goblin Slayer isn't an isekai but the world feels a lot more real than many other fantasy shows because of the angle that they take with their world. The goblins are male only, they need a way to keep living on so naturally the best thing to do is raid a village or turn the tides on an unassuming porcelain party. Episode 1 can understandably be a turn off for a lot of people but that was no reason for a whole controversy to be started over "Goblin Slayer glorifies the r*pe of women" because that's not what it does, it villainizes it. This is how goblins live and this is why they're disgusting and despicable creatures. The world is not all sunshine and flowers, and every rose has its thorns.
The most surprising thing is people were complaining that it was so brutal after watching episode 1 when it came out but I thought it wasn't that shocking. I was rather shocked at the fact this show was considered to be very hard to stomach. For me it was rather tame.
Probably because for a short while goblin slayer became "mainstream", hence a lot of people saw goblin slayer that are not used to dar fantasy or any violent fiction for that matter. Many might only be watching shonen shows where there might not even be blood and certainly no realism. I like goblin slayer because of the "realism". It doesnt matter how strong you are, how high your rank is, in the end your just a normal mortal creature. 1 Hit from a creature twice your size and your on deaths door, one stone to the head and you might be dead.
The dark nature of the story created incredibly high stakes attached to killing goblins. I remember wondering why the communities at large weren't taking the goblin threat more seriously and making it a priority. It was one of the things I found so compelling about the series and made it that much more satisfying when the Goblin Slayer would wipe a nest out.
What I love about Goblin slayer is that, when you look at him at a first glance, you will think that he is just a standard warrior, but no... the only thing he is adept at in CQC is against Goblins, and the non evolved ones at that (basically any smaller build humanoid races). The equipment he has and uses are the most efficient ones to be used and 'lost' inside a cave/goblin nest, hence why the warrior look. But his skill sets and tactics, damn, he might as well be a rogue or a ranger. Heck, what type of warrior can accurately use a bow, even a fucking sling?! With that type of a helmet as well!? :'v
05:54 Oh Man, preach! I've been reading the Grimgar Light Novels and they're tragic! The sadness so ao profound that I can't understand how an author is capable of continually capturing such levels of desperation!
Yep im not going to lie i watch season 1 and the movie it was one heck of a ride and also i love how goblin slayer himself makes himself looks like a Grim Reaper to a race who should be mediocre compare to other enemy types
I think your way of presenting your thoughts of the show, your phase and rhythm is pro level razer sharp.. If you know what I mean? (eng is not my first language) Deserves my sub!
There's a lot favorite moments with GS but I think one that most people dont realize is the reference to the moon which is green and how GS thinks that's where goblins come from. As a dnd player that is a reference to Game Master=Green Moon or Dungeon master and they create the monsters/stories.
That first episode really stirred that controversy pot. Although without it, you really lose the reasoning behind Goblin Slayer's actions. We would have probably viewed him the same as how the other characters did in the show. He would just be this crazy individual who for reason decided to only hunt one of the weakest mob in the world. With episode 1, we agree with Goblin Slayer that they all need to die.
The biggest critics of Goblin Slayer are the ones who couldn't make it past the first episode because they were offended or couldn't get pass. Those who continues get to see the world expand as well as understand the lore in this world. I really enjoyed the journey and there are many instances where the story reminds you the brutality of this world...
i mainly watched it after people were complaining about the grape scene. Yet they ignored the warrior character that got hacked to pieces right before it.
I was like one of the adventurers at the end of season 1 who thought that the MC was possibly a goblin because he has to think a lot like a goblin to kill them. Alas, he's no goblin but there are still some interesting connections...
Just finished Season 1 and I have two words “MAJOR POTENTIAL” I’m going to bide my time and not read ahead in the light novel, I hope this series doesn’t disappoint.
I'm liking the humanity of goblin slayer were seeing in season 2, he breaks down crying when he realizes that the wizard kid he recently met had an older sister he could have saved if he had arrived a minute sooner.
I love the Anime/Manga and Season 2 will also focus more on the Char development instead of the Violence (that's what the Director said via Letter at the World Premiere 2 Months ago at a convention and which you could see for the first 2 Episodes which were shown there)
don't forget that most adventurer including the hero are happy that the goblin slayer exist because they admit that they're home woulda been wipeout if he doesn't exist .
Well, the hero would be dead if goblin slayer didn't exist. He saved her village when she was a child and was part of the reason she became an adventurer.
all good tho 1 nitpick was the water scroll, yes it hard to get but goblin slayer could of got more it just a Cost facture, only reason he Didn't was Elf Girl Banned him from Drowning Goblins with mark and recall scroll, witch she Bans him from a lot restricting his weapon choices as it break the Geneva Sugesstions or some odd reason. same with the fire Bomb for the trade mark beholder it on the ban list. no water boarding no Explosives.
I’m glad you finally got around to watching the series, Brandon. Goblin slayer, while not being a perfect anime, is a lot better anime than some people made it out to be.
I wish someday we've got Goblin Slayer Side Story Year One anime adaptation. This gonna be epic story how he become what he is now and we've got some big surprise later. if the studio doing it right without holding back its going to be great!
Golbin Slayer is very much a don't judge a book by its cover kind of show...or rather don't judge a show by its first episode... ...or in my case, don't judge an anime by its manga adaptation.
The problem with that is its based off the LN not the manga in fact I just remembered that all the manga reader kept complaining because they didn't understand that but funnily enough I did judge this series off the cover saw preistess looking cute and the title Goblin Slayer which seemed different and interesting definitely didn't prepare me for the world at all
What i loved about the first controversial episode was that it lets the viewer experience that the world is dangerous and horrific. It let the scenes go on long enough to realy make you feel the dread. Its great world building.
I really enjoyed the lizard and his new found love for cheese. He mentions he comes from a nomad tribe who doesn't domesticate animals, so obviously he never had any. I love little interactions like these that reveal a lot about these characters and the worldbuilding.
jeez some people really misses actually good animes only because some or few problematic/minor things like the goblins and females moments or only because the animes are based on games/mobile games etc...
I finished this one but definitely not for me. Would be happier if Grimgar got a continuation but hearing that the anime's script was made to be anime self-contained probably not happening or if it happened it will be like another Durarara s2 scenario where s1 was made to stand on itself which made s1 super fun but forcing it to continue with all the trimmed out stuff from s1 made it feel average and a drag. Edit: I wasnt expecting u to mention Grimgar 🤣
Hopefully@@AHBrandonReviews Grimgar is the cleanest and easiest Isekai rec for me tbh. I love it and it's easy to recommend so it's easy to share. Would like to see more of it.
When I first played D&D my DM made us fight Goblins and I protested at first arguing that Goblins were intelligent creatures so we should try to rationalize with them, since I’d never Seen them do Evil. Eventually my DM showed us a Goblin Village that was Eating Villagers we were hired to rescue an Then we slayed some Goblins! This Show was Brilliant with the first Episode showing us a cute D&D party facing a Total Party Kill, until Goblin Slayer shows up and you See How Awful they are and you suddenly Get him and his obsession! Such Brilliant Storytelling!
I think another thing that works in the show's favor is that because we know exactly how brutal women are treated by Goblins we're really tense, at least i am, whenever they go up against them because of that horrible scenario.
Season 1 kinda messed up some of it's arcs and pacing. After episode 1 came out, the anime got somuch backlash and from the fact it was a Crunchyroll supported anime, the studio kinda got cold feet in its presentation of the series and re-arranged how some of the arcs played out or cut out some mini arcs in total compared to both the novels and the manga. Some of the mini arcs had very important background lore that, while not part of the main plot, gave a deeper understanding of how the world runs in the background. By re-arranging arcs and cutting some sub arcs it messed with the flow of the story slightly. Pair this up with how the studio backed off on a lot of the scenes that had darker subject matter and this anime really didn't feel like it had a particular mood it wanted to fit. The anime was still really good, but I always felt that after episode 5 the studio seemed some what afraid to go fully commit like they did with episode 1 and 2. Goblin Slayer is an amazing story but I enjoy the manga a bit more. The movie was a lot better. I only pray though that in season 2, whatever studio continues it or if it's the same studio, that when they decide what to set mood for the season as, they commit to it. Personally I think Goblin Slayer didn't deserve the backlash and I feel like it could have been even better had there not been such a backlash and all the death and bomb threats to the studio. Mind you the KyoAni arson incident was still relatively fresh in people's minds.
@@alexakuto The recent episode cut out the point of view of the party that entered the dungeon that Goblin Slayer ended up saving their Acolyte. WE only see GS's point of view but they skipped the other party that didn't back and their point of view. Next off when the acolyte was captured they censored the scene quite abit. In the anime teh Acolyte was clothed and needles were put through her hands. The expression on her face doesn't match the torture she is going through. In the source material, she had been stripped of her clothes and the Goblin was sawing off her fingers. Compared to season 1. Season 2 has removed all the nudity and a majority of the gore. It's okay as an adaptation but I prefer Studio Whitefox that did season 1. The new studio LindenStudios ,for season 2 I believe is really watering down GS even further. So yeah the current episode that aired today. I'm a bit disappointed. This was one of the more horrific scenes in Goblin Slayer, but hte presentation was just lacking. I'm not going to fully write it off, but season 2 is lacking the weight behind it compared to season 1.
I feel like with most edgy series the setting they paint is that the world is dark. While Goblin Slayer paints the picture of the world is filled with wonder but has its equal fill in darkness.
Goblin Slayer's 1st episode literally is just there to weed out the squeemish people from the watch crowd. And it certainly worked. For anyone who's just beyond that twitter outrage drama, they got a solid and entertaining show, with a gritty tone and a lot of charm.
A little late to the party but the ‘’edgy stuff’’ in goblin slayer can be a culture thing a lot of Eastern media aren’t really afraid of showing sexual assault in their storytelling compare to the west in modern times in the past, and we used to show stuff like that all the time like Deathwish series but I don’t know in recent times we kind of shy away from it.
King of lightning changed my opinion on Goblin Slayer I watched it through by myself and was like that was okay maybe a little mid watched all the reactions with king of lightning and he change my mind it went from a 5 5.5 to a 8
I see Goblin Slayer as a game called Etrian Odyssey but the very first game made. Why? Bcus Etrian Odyssey 1 is literally going by the rules Goblin Slayer is. It's absolutely Brutal. You think your going to die to bosses more than anything right? WRONG? Enemies in the first map are far more then capable of wrecking your shit AND THEY CAN JUMP YOU! Then the FOE's (a mini boss that can be up to like 5+ on just 1 floor) will also wreck your shit early on and you basically have to dodge them until you get strong enough to properly kill them but dominantly they're there to be a obstacle that needs to be dodged
I love the fact that the protagonist have autism. It's very interesting to watch. And the fact that no character is named, i find it to be pretty genius.
In the novels the héroes group thath kill the demon Lord end involve with goblind slayer actions. like in a part goblin slayer use a teletransportación circle for eliminated a group of goblin and end were the héroes was figthin
I'm pumped for season 2! See my full live reactions to every episode of season 1 and the movie over on Patreon www.patreon.com/BrandonReviews
I'm glad you enjoyed it I literally go back since season 2 announcement
if not seen already...
You should watch (I think you'll LOVE it) and react (would love to see it) to:
Claymore (26 episodes)
Claymore is the female version of Berserk (and Goblin Slayer and Demon Slayer) and has similar character design to that of the Witcher series (as they all came out around the same time, more or less, likely all influencing each other). Clare truly is Guts’ long lost sister of the sword.
While having nearly an entire female cast, this is no "girly anime", there's no/zero fanservice, and even their chest sizes are realistic, as these girls are all business, and that business is killing yomas
The girls are known as "Silver-Eyed Witches", as they're half-human and half-yoma, giving them their superhuman and inhuman power and abilities. They also are known as "Claymores", due to wielding 6 ft long claymore swords, and with only 1 hand, and they know how to use them. You don't f'k these girls, they f'k you.
Everyone LOVES Claymore, I've yet to meet a single person who doesn't love it, and also girls too love Claymore surprisingly, despite that Claymore is more of a guy's anime (action, violence, etc).
Also, Claymore is the most similar anime to Attack On Titan, even spoiling some major concepts in Attack On Titan. But, it's also completely different from Attack On Titan, of course. So, if you like Attack On Titan, you'll definitely love Claymore as well! If you think Mikasa is sexy and badass... wait until you see Clare (and someone else too)... grins
(japanese/raw or english dub, both are very good, you can see which you like better)
You would have been surprised how many People watched the movie during Quarantine
A lot of us did
I think the shock value that Goblin Slayer first had made people blind to the fact that we’re watching a rather interesting D&D campaign.
fans did a bad job advertising it tbf
IIRC the shock value was because Crunchyroll forgot to properly put the content warning and people watched it and complained about that.
@@shyguy5473 and don't forget most of "reviews" by anime expert mostly focused on that scene, rather than paying close attention to detail of the story, like for instance the change of GS act from episode 5-12 was completely different from last four episode, no one take that detail, which pissed me off even more when no one talk about the strategy he uses
@@anggisuwandi2404 goblin slayer start heavy and then start to litten which is the opposite for a lot of anime that start light hearted till the finale episode where it get dark.
I think its not the fans, but rather the haters and the people who judge GS without watching nor reading@@AHBrandonReviews
Goblin Slayer took the romanticized fantasy monsters and made them monstrous once again. You take one look at goblins in this world and you understand why he fights. It falls into the Grim Dark genre and that is hard to stomach for a lot of people but that in itself doesn't make it a bad show. It's what the show does with those themes and that genre that matters most and I say Goblin Slayer really sticks the landing.
My favorite thing about season 1 is the growth of Priestess. She starts the season being in over her head, helpless and being saved by Goblin Slayer. But at the end she’s wiser, stronger and comes in like a boss to save Goblin Slayer parallel to how he saved her.
Yes! She has a great story arc.
I also liked how the Sword Maiden hiding in the church reflected what the priestess could've become.
And on the other end of the spectrum there's Goblin Slayer, obsessed with killing them all.
Between the three of them she's actually the most sane and maybe even the strongest mentally.
Priestess, in essence becomes Goblin Slayer, but without his psychological trauma and issues, and yes, Sword Maiden is literally what happens when you're NOT saved by Goblin Slayer, Sword Maiden really had a RIGHT to be jealous, angry, and bitter at Priestess, getting saved by Goblin Slayer, whereas no one ever came to save her... poor Sword Maiden, no "knight in shiny... ugly... armor" ever came to save her...
@@redmoonbloodmoon3161 She had the samurai come into her life and pretty much save her after the goblin incident. Her life would have been even worse if not for him. But that's a whole other story in it's own.
@@redmoonbloodmoon3161 oh my god... Priestess is like how Nightwing is Batman without the trauma
Fun fact: The English VA for Goblin Slayer himself did the Mo-cap for the doom slayer in doom 2016. Also if youre looking for more goblin slayer, Grimmjack has done an abridged version
Fun (obvious) fact: Anos Voldigoad.
He is the slayer
The series is dark and grotesque but there’s more to the series. Interesting fights and strategy. And ya the MC nearly died a few times. Goblin Slayer is dead pan and cold but that is related to his trauma. It’s funny how the entire cast are simply titles or descriptions like High Elf or Goblin Slayer. A lot of the strategies are like when you come up with something unique in DND. With a studio change, hopefully season 2 production still holds up well
Nah, to further expand on just how gigabrain the bit with the scroll was, it was a scroll of Gate. If you've ever played DND, that particular spell is in the echelon of the strongest possible magic mortals can use. He goes to a high level sorceress in the Guild and has her link the destination of the scroll to the *bottom of the ocean*, which he stated he'd intended to use it to flood out a goblin nest if needed. Instead, he winds up using it like a high pressure water canon to cut a larger enemy in half so he can walk up and finish it off. Definitely one of my favorite moments of his next to having the priestess use Barrier to trap goblins in a burning elven fortress to asphyxiate them and having the party use a mirror with Gate transcribed in it as an umbrella from a falling ceiling.
There is true tactic to used in this series when fighting. He slowly opens up. The kind of trauma he went trough takes a long time to heal.
Two unique things about this series that I find interesting:
1. It's... technical fantasy. As in "this is how things are done, this is how they work". Its elements all fit together perfectly and work to both set the stage and enable its resolution. I love me a good technical fantasy.
2. Strangely enough, I just... can't seem to be able to read the light novel. But the manga and definitely the anime... I sure as hell can, and enjoy every minute of them.
Because of its technical presentation, with all the "hows" and "whys", I feel that this, the anime, is the best possible format this story can have, for then you can truly feel all its impactful power.
More so with Mili's stellar ost, especially the track "From Within". My favorite.
So yeah, so glad we have Goblin Slayer, aka "Orcbolg" (as Elf Archer calls him, I like that name) back to massacre the filthy green vermin.
I love this series. For one it really shows how even the simplest enemies can be a serious threat and should not be underestimated. Them there is d&d element. Where is like story you play with dungeon master and character refer to them self in titles. The character have depth and growth and there consequences to taken actions.
sometimes simplicity is best when a good author fleshes it out into the best D&D game imaginable
Goblin Slayer had a few "problematic'" moments, but those moments showed the darkness in the world. How it's not all roses and daisies. These moments give the drive to fight, and not everyone wins.
I am looking forward to S2 and hope they keep the hard edge.
GS is basically the best example of how to use what is usually problematic and have it just make a world feel edgy in a good way. Similar to a game of thrones
Your right on time experiencing goblin slayer before season 2 starts 😀👏👏👏
One of the problems were some of the anime reviewers like Mother's Basement who over-exaggerated the shock scenes, then misconstrued the entire story, and then proceeded to refuse to properly watch the show before making huge statements about the show as a whole based on one scene. And he wasn't the only one. Meanwhile, the people who actually watched the show, or read the light novel, knew what was actually going on. And we were discussing the matters in details because there is a lot to unpack.
But the discussion was ultimately just overtaken by these righteous mobs crying foul, similarly to what they did with the Rising of the Shield Hero. Complaining about the first episode, talking about how problematic it is, thinking that the whole show was solely based on that first episode, and failing to actually understand the actual story being told and the cleverness of the show.
Even after popular sentiment had shifted after the season fully aired and people who gave the show a shot pushed back on those incorrect judgement, these popular reviewers instead doubled down on their assessment without giving the show a proper fair shake.
Oh and, something that doesn't get touched on in the anime, but does get mentioned in the light novel. One of the reason why he uses that awkward short sword and mediocre armor, is because if he dies he doesn't want to provide any meaningful equipment to the goblins. Essentially, he cares so much about the impact he may have that he even considers the potential damage he may cause when he dies.
If you can survive the shock of what happened to that beginner’s team at the hands of the goblins in Ep 1, you realize Goblin Slayer is a great series.
i find interesting how the first episode is such a filter for people, and how in universe, stuff like basic quests like goblin slaying or stuff like killing giant rats in the sewers, are also treated as filters, if you have bad luck, are a fool and such, you will fail, and if you die or cant spring back from that, you just werent made for the adventurer business at all, the first episode throws you the reality of the world that GS takes in and if you cant stomach it, are too short sighted and dont undertand it, or similar, you just werent fit for it, simple as that but also effective
Cowgirl comes from GS's village too. They are the only 2 survivors of their village. She was lucky to be taken for a trip by her uncle before the goblins attack the village.
The side story with the boy and girl who went to exterminate sewer rats, is there to show GS's potential as an adventurer trainer. He gave them advice on how to recover the boy's sword. Later near the end of the series, the guild lady put forward an idea of a adventurer training school. Which opens up the possibility of GS becoming a trainer when he retires. GS has been thinking about his future, what would he do next when there are no more goblins to kill.
Goblin Slayer is one of my top 10 favorite anime.
Finaly some GAWWWWWBLINSLAYER apprechiation. I'm glad someone shows so mutch love to it besides the usual "But that one scene" "but muh badass goblin killer"
Grimgar is criminally underrated. Nice to see you give it the props it deserves.
Glad you enjoyed it, I'm looking forward to S2!
Ngl the final scene where he takes off his helmet in front of everyone hits me in the feels everytime I watch it. I dunno why, but it feels so wholesome, that it can bring you to tears.
I had the same feeling at the end of the movie, when priestess knew where gs was and decided to be with him when he was alone
Facts
For me, it's the scene where he goes to the Guild and asks Spearman for help against the Goblin Horde.
@kamikazelemming1552 Spear guy is awesome. They dont really show it in season one, but somewhere in the novels, he is a cool guy with Goblin Slayer, and it is clear in the newest episode
@@silva5623
Yeah, Spearman gets a lot of great moments later in the novels. One thing I hope to see this season is the mini-story where he, Goblins Slayer, and Heavy Warrior go on a quest to defeat an evil wizard hiding in a tower.
I truly agree with you, not "many" talk about the value of tactic Goblin slayer do
I like how in this story the main character are so smart but really badly get injured and nearly die.
Also i like how the story shows how Goblin slayer was so badly injured from the past and now his emotions are slowly get broken down by his new party.
dude you were spot on! I'm so happy you liked goblin slayer!
I remember when I first came across it I loved how tactical GS was, it's one of the few times in anime that I actually felt like the world actually made sense. I especially love that it didn't sugar coat how goblins reproduce at the beginning of the show and then move on to bigger scarier monsters and never worry about goblins again.
I've heard it described (and agree with the idea) that Goblin Slayer is more like watching a veteran adventurer with PTSD slowly recover thanks to good companions while at the same time being a badass and hero to the people.
Another great part is watching priestess grow in confidence and abilities from being a naive newbie to becoming an amazing Goblin slaying expert in her own right along with the other party members.
Iirc there was some important information that was omitted in the anime that was included in the manga for some the scenes that make them so much better i.e. when the girls told him no fire, water, poison, or explosions its because they were worried in his pursuit of exterminating the goblins he would end up messing up the towns water ways/sewer system.
I purposefully stopped myself from reading the manga so that i could enjoy the second season when it came out. it is definitely among my most anticipated amines coming out this season!
I loved season 1 of Goblin Slayer. Favorite part was how the GS did his job professionally like an exterminator-choosing the easiest and most straightforward methods than attempting to enjoy hand to hand combat.
The soundtrack, the fights, the emotional damage/ reconstitution, the SHEER DEEP satisfaction of watching those little shit's DIE, the women (may those who have suffered find themselves again), and best nectar boy along with the master of goblin manslaughter, I'm so HYPED!!!!!
there's a couple of tracks, this one that sounds like a beautiful woman singing in a church idk the name but legit one of my fav ost tracks in anime
Diefinitly one of my favorites.
This is literally playing D&D, except that its been animated.
As a fromer player/DM, I can really related to how this world works, and how brutal it can really get.
The 1st episode alone said it all. Especially how the party got completely wiped out with the exception
of a couple of survivors. I knew already that the Fighter was going to take the big one by sheer experience
alone. On top of that you have a Martial Artist that has no choice but to get close and personal. A Mage that
can only cast 1 maybe 2 spells at most, and on top of that, no combat experience. Last but not least, a Cleric
that thought about it at first, was forced to join, and the end result, she becomes scared out of her mind, and
with only 2 maybe 3 spells ready to cast. That usually happens when your starting out as a new group, and
unfortunately, the kill rate is much more higher than you could have imagined (unless you have a GN that has
intended to make things difficult from the start). What really drew me to this series is the combat and tactics
that was being utilized, while each character has a set role to play. Also, since its based upon D&D Core Rules,
it makes it even more interesting (considering that a sequence of a pair of dice being thrown down, showing
that their fates are in the dice roll).
I love it and I'm awaiting for it to air.
Until next time,
Enjoy!!
Goblin Slayer is top tier. Only way to believe that Goblin Slayer isn't a psychopath is by seeing how terrible Goblins are. Plus as a Killer Instinct fan... seeing Fulgore killing goblins in anime form was so great.
The fact that his village post a hunt for help against goblins and no one was interested in attend it , so his entire village and family was destroyed by goblins speak so well for his motives and obsession. This can be a really simple excuse, but its just so believable.
Also love that his not a op character and his better strengh are knowledge and preparation. But even with that the unexpected can and will ruin everything,
Also its so important to be taked by surprise and really believe that someone can actualy die (or worse). That's why walking dead and game of thrones are the better ones i remember at first, and this show have the same fellings into it.
I started watching this while on my phone (being played on my xbox) as background noise but like halfway into just listening I got intrigued and started over really enjoyed this show can't wait for what's next
People who lost their minds because of the scene towards the end of ep 1 with Fighter missed the point of it, which was to show why Goblin Slayer has made it his mission to wipe them all out. It served a purpose, it wasn't just there to be there.
I got to thank you man. I was looking for someone to talk about this show/story from a more civilized point of view and tell what's beyond man killing monsters and what is really about. I gonna give it shot! Thank you for this video dude!
the first ep when it came out did it for me. The way the party got wiped told me it was going to be a good one. Some times you need to see people die from mistakes, instead of candy.
I read both the light novel and the manga, and in comparison, the Goblin Slayer's combat rhythm and psychology are more finely tuned, with subtle micro-interactions and details. Of course, the anime had to cut some arcs, especially the one about the festival where there's some introspection. The writing is as direct and raw as the protagonist. But despite his armor, we can still make out bits of feeling and humanity through his visor. Because beyond the slaughter of the little demons, what's interesting is the Goblin Slayer's impact on the others and vice versa.
Where Goblin Slayer can be hard to get to grips with is that it has the narrative structure of a storybook. Each chapter/episode features a goblin hunt, always in a very straightforward style. Skimming through them can feel like reading Little Red Riding Hood over and over again. But the storytelling and character development is hidden in the details that change this routine.
I didn't expect Grimgar appreciation in a Goblin Slayer discussion but you're so right about that comparison and I really need more of that angle where yeah, anything can go wrong and even the weakest enemies are still threatening because of the circumstances. Grimgar was snubbed too early, they had a great thing going with that show, not being afraid of death and the reality of the world the characters are in. When an isekai can immerse so much that you forget it's even an isekai you know that you've found something special.
Goblin Slayer isn't an isekai but the world feels a lot more real than many other fantasy shows because of the angle that they take with their world. The goblins are male only, they need a way to keep living on so naturally the best thing to do is raid a village or turn the tides on an unassuming porcelain party. Episode 1 can understandably be a turn off for a lot of people but that was no reason for a whole controversy to be started over "Goblin Slayer glorifies the r*pe of women" because that's not what it does, it villainizes it. This is how goblins live and this is why they're disgusting and despicable creatures. The world is not all sunshine and flowers, and every rose has its thorns.
The most surprising thing is people were complaining that it was so brutal after watching episode 1 when it came out but I thought it wasn't that shocking. I was rather shocked at the fact this show was considered to be very hard to stomach. For me it was rather tame.
Probably because for a short while goblin slayer became "mainstream", hence a lot of people saw goblin slayer that are not used to dar fantasy or any violent fiction for that matter. Many might only be watching shonen shows where there might not even be blood and certainly no realism. I like goblin slayer because of the "realism". It doesnt matter how strong you are, how high your rank is, in the end your just a normal mortal creature. 1 Hit from a creature twice your size and your on deaths door, one stone to the head and you might be dead.
The dark nature of the story created incredibly high stakes attached to killing goblins. I remember wondering why the communities at large weren't taking the goblin threat more seriously and making it a priority. It was one of the things I found so compelling about the series and made it that much more satisfying when the Goblin Slayer would wipe a nest out.
I like how in the story you kinda see the effects of his work. Bards sing his praises and such.
A verry underrated show looking forward to the next season!
What I love about Goblin slayer is that, when you look at him at a first glance, you will think that he is just a standard warrior, but no... the only thing he is adept at in CQC is against Goblins, and the non evolved ones at that (basically any smaller build humanoid races). The equipment he has and uses are the most efficient ones to be used and 'lost' inside a cave/goblin nest, hence why the warrior look. But his skill sets and tactics, damn, he might as well be a rogue or a ranger. Heck, what type of warrior can accurately use a bow, even a fucking sling?! With that type of a helmet as well!? :'v
I thought it was released 1 year ago but it was released actually 5 years ago
Can’t wait for season 2!
‼️
Criminally underrated show!
At this point, we must all remember: He who knows the most, says the least.
Ignore the loud people, they are idiots.
I'm glad people can give it a chance because I personally love the series. I just wish more ppl would give it a chance.
i realy appreciate this small fantastic review.
05:54 Oh Man, preach!
I've been reading the Grimgar Light Novels and they're tragic! The sadness so ao profound that I can't understand how an author is capable of continually capturing such levels of desperation!
Yep im not going to lie i watch season 1 and the movie it was one heck of a ride and also i love how goblin slayer himself makes himself looks like a Grim Reaper to a race who should be mediocre compare to other enemy types
his red glowing eye when he popped off 🔥
I agree
I think your way of presenting your thoughts of the show, your phase and rhythm is pro level razer sharp.. If you know what I mean? (eng is not my first language) Deserves my sub!
There's a lot favorite moments with GS but I think one that most people dont realize is the reference to the moon which is green and how GS thinks that's where goblins come from. As a dnd player that is a reference to Game Master=Green Moon or Dungeon master and they create the monsters/stories.
That first episode really stirred that controversy pot. Although without it, you really lose the reasoning behind Goblin Slayer's actions. We would have probably viewed him the same as how the other characters did in the show. He would just be this crazy individual who for reason decided to only hunt one of the weakest mob in the world. With episode 1, we agree with Goblin Slayer that they all need to die.
The biggest critics of Goblin Slayer are the ones who couldn't make it past the first episode because they were offended or couldn't get pass. Those who continues get to see the world expand as well as understand the lore in this world. I really enjoyed the journey and there are many instances where the story reminds you the brutality of this world...
What was funny was watching this then watching Slime. Totally different take on goblins.
i mainly watched it after people were complaining about the grape scene. Yet they ignored the warrior character that got hacked to pieces right before it.
I was like one of the adventurers at the end of season 1 who thought that the MC was possibly a goblin because he has to think a lot like a goblin to kill them. Alas, he's no goblin but there are still some interesting connections...
glad you picked it up keep up the content brother
Don't forget, the gods of that world determined everything through dice roles. Brilliant.
In some episodes, they show God's using dice to make out come of episode . This is like dnd campaign for adults who like more dark fantasy .
Honestly I need to do a quick rewatch of season 1 because it's been so long since I watched it. Plus I need to watch the movie.
Just finished Season 1 and I have two words “MAJOR POTENTIAL” I’m going to bide my time and not read ahead in the light novel, I hope this series doesn’t disappoint.
The Goblin Slayer manga is incredible!
Don't miss the ova/ona.
The abridged series is something.
I'm liking the humanity of goblin slayer were seeing in season 2, he breaks down crying when he realizes that the wizard kid he recently met had an older sister he could have saved if he had arrived a minute sooner.
The present of the story is dark but in the past (10 years) is even darker in the manga (Goblin Slayer: Side Story Year One).
Season 1 was great but people only focus on the big moments when the charm is the slow building
I love the Anime/Manga and Season 2 will also focus more on the Char development instead of the Violence (that's what the Director said via Letter at the World Premiere 2 Months ago at a convention and which you could see for the first 2 Episodes which were shown there)
don't forget that most adventurer including the hero are happy that the goblin slayer exist because they admit that they're home woulda been wipeout if he doesn't exist .
Well, the hero would be dead if goblin slayer didn't exist. He saved her village when she was a child and was part of the reason she became an adventurer.
all good tho 1 nitpick was the water scroll, yes it hard to get but goblin slayer could of got more it just a Cost facture, only reason he Didn't was Elf Girl Banned him from Drowning Goblins with mark and recall scroll, witch she Bans him from a lot restricting his weapon choices as it break the Geneva Sugesstions or some odd reason.
same with the fire Bomb for the trade mark beholder it on the ban list. no water boarding no Explosives.
My favorite parts were the ocean portal and the use of protection with the fire at the fortress.
I’m glad you finally got around to watching the series, Brandon. Goblin slayer, while not being a perfect anime, is a lot better anime than some people made it out to be.
I wish someday we've got Goblin Slayer Side Story Year One anime adaptation. This gonna be epic story how he become what he is now and we've got some big surprise later. if the studio doing it right without holding back its going to be great!
Goblin slayer show that every job is important there is no useless job because every job benefits the world in a way
Golbin Slayer is very much a don't judge a book by its cover kind of show...or rather don't judge a show by its first episode...
...or in my case, don't judge an anime by its manga adaptation.
💯
The problem with that is its based off the LN not the manga in fact I just remembered that all the manga reader kept complaining because they didn't understand that but funnily enough I did judge this series off the cover saw preistess looking cute and the title Goblin Slayer which seemed different and interesting definitely didn't prepare me for the world at all
What i loved about the first controversial episode was that it lets the viewer experience that the world is dangerous and horrific. It let the scenes go on long enough to realy make you feel the dread. Its great world building.
Mili is the best music group ever
Yup, I love Goblin Slayer. Decent anime overall but so good.
NICE Grimgar reference
I really enjoyed the lizard and his new found love for cheese.
He mentions he comes from a nomad tribe who doesn't domesticate animals, so obviously he never had any.
I love little interactions like these that reveal a lot about these characters and the worldbuilding.
jeez some people really misses actually good animes only because some or few problematic/minor things like the goblins and females moments or only because the animes are based on games/mobile games etc...
Sorry for the off topic question, but any plans on doing a video on Ragna Crimson?
I finished this one but definitely not for me. Would be happier if Grimgar got a continuation but hearing that the anime's script was made to be anime self-contained probably not happening or if it happened it will be like another Durarara s2 scenario where s1 was made to stand on itself which made s1 super fun but forcing it to continue with all the trimmed out stuff from s1 made it feel average and a drag.
Edit: I wasnt expecting u to mention Grimgar 🤣
anything can get a season 2 is the past few years have proving anything
I absolutely love Grimgar and would die for a season two
Hopefully@@AHBrandonReviews
Grimgar is the cleanest and easiest Isekai rec for me tbh. I love it and it's easy to recommend so it's easy to share. Would like to see more of it.
Grimgar really did lose its way after about vol 7 though, it’s such a shame the first 3 volumes were excellent.
When I first played D&D my DM made us fight Goblins and I protested at first arguing that Goblins were intelligent creatures so we should try to rationalize with them, since I’d never Seen them do Evil. Eventually my DM showed us a Goblin Village that was Eating Villagers we were hired to rescue an Then we slayed some Goblins!
This Show was Brilliant with the first Episode showing us a cute D&D party facing a Total Party Kill, until Goblin Slayer shows up and you See How Awful they are and you suddenly Get him and his obsession!
Such Brilliant Storytelling!
I think another thing that works in the show's favor is that because we know exactly how brutal women are treated by Goblins we're really tense, at least i am, whenever they go up against them because of that horrible scenario.
Season 1 kinda messed up some of it's arcs and pacing. After episode 1 came out, the anime got somuch backlash and from the fact it was a Crunchyroll supported anime, the studio kinda got cold feet in its presentation of the series and re-arranged how some of the arcs played out or cut out some mini arcs in total compared to both the novels and the manga. Some of the mini arcs had very important background lore that, while not part of the main plot, gave a deeper understanding of how the world runs in the background. By re-arranging arcs and cutting some sub arcs it messed with the flow of the story slightly. Pair this up with how the studio backed off on a lot of the scenes that had darker subject matter and this anime really didn't feel like it had a particular mood it wanted to fit. The anime was still really good, but I always felt that after episode 5 the studio seemed some what afraid to go fully commit like they did with episode 1 and 2. Goblin Slayer is an amazing story but I enjoy the manga a bit more. The movie was a lot better. I only pray though that in season 2, whatever studio continues it or if it's the same studio, that when they decide what to set mood for the season as, they commit to it. Personally I think Goblin Slayer didn't deserve the backlash and I feel like it could have been even better had there not been such a backlash and all the death and bomb threats to the studio. Mind you the KyoAni arson incident was still relatively fresh in people's minds.
what's your opinion on the latest episode?
@@alexakuto The recent episode cut out the point of view of the party that entered the dungeon that Goblin Slayer ended up saving their Acolyte. WE only see GS's point of view but they skipped the other party that didn't back and their point of view. Next off when the acolyte was captured they censored the scene quite abit. In the anime teh Acolyte was clothed and needles were put through her hands. The expression on her face doesn't match the torture she is going through. In the source material, she had been stripped of her clothes and the Goblin was sawing off her fingers. Compared to season 1. Season 2 has removed all the nudity and a majority of the gore. It's okay as an adaptation but I prefer Studio Whitefox that did season 1. The new studio LindenStudios ,for season 2 I believe is really watering down GS even further. So yeah the current episode that aired today. I'm a bit disappointed. This was one of the more horrific scenes in Goblin Slayer, but hte presentation was just lacking. I'm not going to fully write it off, but season 2 is lacking the weight behind it compared to season 1.
Underrated anime frl
Thank you! GS doesn't get the love he deserves.
It's at the very least one of my favorites, if not the top one.
I loved GS. I think Twitter culture downplays a lot of good anime.
I feel like with most edgy series the setting they paint is that the world is dark. While Goblin Slayer paints the picture of the world is filled with wonder but has its equal fill in darkness.
Congratulations. You passed the preliminary test. Now go watch the abridged version for your official Gowblin Slayer Certificate.
Goblin Slayer left exactly one impression on Anime and it's about 2 minutes of the first episode.
S1E1 just had that one scene, the rest of the series was okay. I enjoyed it. I didnt know there was a movie. Looking forward to S2
Tere Is a chapter Wen the elf , recepcionist and cow girl have a Day off and play dungeon and dragón thath use in the guild for training
This is the way.
someone gets it
Goblin Slayer's 1st episode literally is just there to weed out the squeemish people from the watch crowd. And it certainly worked.
For anyone who's just beyond that twitter outrage drama, they got a solid and entertaining show, with a gritty tone and a lot of charm.
A little late to the party but the ‘’edgy stuff’’ in goblin slayer can be a culture thing a lot of Eastern media aren’t really afraid of showing sexual assault in their storytelling compare to the west in modern times in the past, and we used to show stuff like that all the time like Deathwish series but I don’t know in recent times we kind of shy away from it.
King of lightning changed my opinion on Goblin Slayer I watched it through by myself and was like that was okay maybe a little mid watched all the reactions with king of lightning and he change my mind it went from a 5 5.5 to a 8
I see Goblin Slayer as a game called Etrian Odyssey but the very first game made. Why? Bcus Etrian Odyssey 1 is literally going by the rules Goblin Slayer is.
It's absolutely Brutal. You think your going to die to bosses more than anything right? WRONG? Enemies in the first map are far more then capable of wrecking your shit AND THEY CAN JUMP YOU! Then the FOE's (a mini boss that can be up to like 5+ on just 1 floor) will also wreck your shit early on and you basically have to dodge them until you get strong enough to properly kill them but dominantly they're there to be a obstacle that needs to be dodged
I love the fact that the protagonist have autism. It's very interesting to watch. And the fact that no character is named, i find it to be pretty genius.
In the novels the héroes group thath kill the demon Lord end involve with goblind slayer actions. like in a part goblin slayer use a teletransportación circle for eliminated a group of goblin and end were the héroes was figthin
It was rather good overall. Got out of hand in the first episode and really dark in others if you can get over that then it's worth a watch
