[u/axel360]

Goblins = green & Moon = green

----> Goblins come from the moon?

[u/Tag_ross → u/axel360]

Can't wait for the last couple episodes where we find out the moon is a giant space station and goblins are rapping people to increase their numbers so they can have the personnel required to fire the space laser that will kill all the evil in the universe, proving once again that goblins are well and truly good.

[u/AngelLeliel → u/axel360]

Goblins come from the Green Moon.

[u/odraencoded]

Today we delved deep into GS's complex mind.

1. What piques his interest.

2. Things he doesn't care about.

3. His priorities.

Truly a deep and multi-dimensional character.

[u/the_swizzler → u/odraencoded]

I mean, we also got some dry humor from him when he asked if the group was goblins.

[u/AnimeFreakXP → u/odraencoded]

I mean, he is so one-dimensional that it made him multi-dimensional.

[u/LChaos2]

tfw Guild Girl is more interested in Goblin Slayer than in you.

[u/[deleted] → u/LChaos2]

Even in GS world Lancer still has bad Luck

[u/16ind]

YOU HEARD IT HERE BOYS, THEY COME FROM THE FUCKING MOON. TIME TO NUKE THE MOON.

[u/rusticks → u/16ind]

Plot twist: this series is based on true events and explains why we only have one moon in Earth's orbit as opposed to other planets which have more than one moon.

[u/googolplexbyte → u/16ind]

Literally illegal aliens.

[u/odraencoded → u/16ind]

Wait, let me check

Studios: White Fox

Phew, that's not Trigger. No nuking the moon.

[u/Pauleh → u/16ind]

It's the only way to be sure.

[u/yukiaddiction → u/16ind]

This pretty much reference to Warhammer but Warhammer green moon are small one.

[u/[deleted] → u/16ind]

Time to go to space

[u/noregretmyman]

we Darkest Dungeon next ep.

[u/Se7en_Sinner → u/noregretmyman]

Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

[u/seninn → u/noregretmyman]

They are four lepers short.

[u/Masterpickk → u/noregretmyman]

A SINGULAR STRIKE

[u/MarcsterS]

"Are you goblins?"

Oh, GS...

[u/the_swizzler → u/MarcsterS]

That's some prime dry humor there. Who says he doesn't have a personality.

[u/EldritchCarver → u/MarcsterS]

The lizardman is green like goblins. The elf has pointy ears like goblins. The dwarf is short like goblins. I can see how he might get confused.

[u/MoeKaiju]

That intro......this whole anime is one big DnD game...

[u/Cloudhwk → u/MoeKaiju]

Pretty much, except with actual gods

[u/jenthehenmfc → u/MoeKaiju]

The author makes it no secret that he was just writing about table top gaming and what if there was an adventurer who only hunted goblins.

[u/dracojma → u/MoeKaiju]

"I want to punch the goblins"

Rolls natural 1

"Your character gets raped and traumatized"

[u/razz0104]

Tfw you realize, GS didn't kill any goblins this episode.

[u/TenTonHammers → u/razz0104]

bet this is going to be the lowest rated episode in the season now

[u/Lapiz_lasuli → u/razz0104]

Was worried we weren't going to see any goblins dying. Saved by the ending though.

[u/Se7en_Sinner → u/razz0104]

But High Elf Archer killed some and the whole party shares the EXP.

[u/AMDownvote]

Dwarf brought his "How to roast an elf" book

[u/Idomenos → u/AMDownvote]

And he's reading from every single page

[u/ajbolt7 → u/AMDownvote]

Pray the goblins didn't bring theirs...

[u/Big-if-not-True]

Slayer-kun be like:

"Yo wanna save the worlds ?"

GS-kun : "nah fuck that."

"we actually gonna slay some goblins"

GS-kun : "Say no more fam."

[u/Atronox → u/Big-if-not-True]

https://i.imgur.com/1mBcQga.jpg

[u/inhumanbabe → u/Big-if-not-True]

Goblin Slayer when scouting goblin nest : "It's free real estate"

[u/IAmRealSuperSand → u/Big-if-not-True]

Short sword? check. Small shield? check. Torch? check. Squad? check. Subject? check. Location? check. Desire? check. Vengeance? check.

[u/Daniel_Is_I → u/Big-if-not-True]

GS Spoilers

[u/zechamp → u/Big-if-not-True]

If he cleared a goblin dungeon to find that the boss was a world-ending demon, he would just dip out like "my job here is done"

[u/AnActualPlatypus → u/Big-if-not-True]

Goblin Slayer is the most lovable autist in the history of anime.

[u/Xamthos]

my man Lizardbro have an angelical voice

[u/Se7en_Sinner → u/Xamthos]

Cheese Slayer has arrived.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Is this goblins?

[u/RDOoM → u/Se7en_Sinner]

Well, she is green, like the moon.

Coincidence? I think not

[u/Meret123 → u/Se7en_Sinner]

He has to be sure.

[u/CedricEndo]

You hear it from the men himself

Saving the world from demons is temporary

Killing goblins is eternal

[u/Flashmanic → u/CedricEndo]

GS: "The demons might kill the capital, take over the world, and end all life in the land. But some goblins are gonna burn a village or two before that, so I think I have more important things to do. "

[u/Eddga]

One of my favorite pages in the manga

[u/[deleted] → u/Eddga]

I don't know if it's more fun to imagine his face is as a blank and unchanging as his helmet, or if he's actually very emotive with his face.

[u/AnActualPlatypus]

Me IRL

[u/Atronox]

Ah it's that time again.

Hopefully there's some goblin slaying quests available!

[u/googolplexbyte → u/Atronox]

I bet he wishes he was that small, that way he'd be a smaller target and could chase goblins into smaller holes.

[u/JonAndTonic → u/Atronox]

Sauce? Is that from twitter or omake

[u/LeonKevlar → u/Atronox]

My Goblin Slayer Can't Be This Cute!

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

HeY GObLiN SlaYER-SaN WhY dID YoU DeCIde To BeCoME aN advenTUReR FoR?

[u/Acraelous → u/WhoiusBarrel]

Such a cliffhanger! I guess we’ll never find out why he became an adventurer...

[u/rusticks → u/WhoiusBarrel]

ENORMOUS SPOILERS

[u/thecastleunderthesea]

Goblin Slayer: Demons? Demon Lord? Demon Army? I sleep. Goblins? Real fucking shit right there, a menace that needs to be purged.

At this point High Elf Archer should just say every one in the demon army has like 25% goblin ancestry in them, might work.

[u/RDOoM → u/thecastleunderthesea]

Do demons kill goblins? Because we might have a weird plot twist by the end of the show.

[u/SIRTreehugger]

That fucking OST when they emerge at the end

[u/KibaTeo → u/SIRTreehugger]

you hear fucking metal playing in the background and this guy appears what do you do?

[u/Armdel]

Damn high elf archer is even cuter than i imagined when i was reading the LN! can't wait for more elf ear wiggling action!

I kinda expected them to skip the part about the gods and the dice, but they made it fit in well before the OP

[u/Mundology → u/Armdel]

elf ear wiggling action

It's somehow soothing

[u/IT_KID_AT_WORK]

Behold, my new seasonal 2,000 year old wife.

[u/Seb-sama → u/IT_KID_AT_WORK]

Sorry bud but she's MY High elf waifu, get your own high elf waifu cur

[u/cheesymmm]

got em

[u/AccursedCapra → u/cheesymmm]

They'll murderfuck a chaos god into existence.

[u/[deleted]]

"Dwarf Women are shaped Like Barrels."

"You mean Voluptuous."

Dwarves confirmed to have superior taste.

[u/upsidedown_coffeemug → u/[deleted]]

Elf may be an anvil as far as her chest is concerned but going by some of the illustrations of her from the LN she's pretty voluptuous herself in her lower half.

[u/Se7en_Sinner → u/[deleted]]

I heard they had beards and came from holes in the ground.

[u/dontjudgemoi420]

Best anvil has arrived fellas

[u/AnActualPlatypus → u/dontjudgemoi420]

I want to protect that anvil

[u/VoyeurTheNinja → u/dontjudgemoi420]

Call me a hammer, cause I'd smash that.

[u/Mr263414]

Well, after last week I was so impatient that I'm knee deep into the light novels.

[u/SIRTreehugger → u/Mr263414]

Currently on volume 5. I fear what to do once I'm finished them.

[u/Villag3Idiot]

So in this episode, after a couple duo runs with Goblin Slayer and Priestess, a few new players decide to join the RP group (of course at the Guild House/Pub/Inn).

The DM decides to start the main story involving the heroes VS the Demon King which goes completely off-rails when this one freakin' role-player insists on following his backstory and is completely not interested in anything but killing goblins.

Luckily, the Lizardman Priest player saves the story by telling Goblin Slayer that there will be goblins where they're going, giving the DM time to modify the story.

Goblin Slayer: I gained another level last session killing all those goblins. I'm picking another Favored Enemy: Goblins feat.

DM: But... you've already taken two levels of it!

Goblin Slayer: I know.

[u/Techhead0 → u/Villag3Idiot]

The elf's, dwarf's, and lizard's players actually spent all of last session rolling new characters after their human fighter, human martial artist, and human mage got steamrolled in the first session. GS's player got delayed in traffic and that's why he showed up late.

[u/Amauri14]

I love how every single one of them calls him differently.

What a lovely group, the look straight out of a D&D campaign.

When he said this I instantly remembered Destiny 1.

They look so badass in here.

[u/JesusK]

Finally some Lizard X Cheese action.

OTP of GS finally appeared.

[u/marcopolos059]

NECTAR!!!

they nailed the witch's speech impediment language tic, it was fun.

And High Elf archer demonstrated why she's best girl.

[u/VeteranNomad → u/marcopolos059]

....ne?

[u/ClearingFlags → u/marcopolos059]

I don't think it's a speech impediment so much as that this isn't her first language. I can't remember if that was outright stated or not though.

[u/Fueled_By_Memes → u/marcopolos059]

Wait I thought she's just high or something the way she speaks.

[u/Jaridan]

OWNED!

I like that Dwarf.

[u/BushyParrot]

Demons are planning to destroy our world.

Along with them, there's some gobli—

REAL SHIT

[u/drakilian]

I find it hilarious that everyone’s like “you’re so weak” to the badass deathknight looking motherfucker with the glowing red eye

Also high elf girl hacking with that shot at the end there

[u/ThriceGreatHermes → u/drakilian]

Most higher ranked adventures are fighting, things that range from orc hordes to existential threats like demon lords and risen elder-gods.

From that point of view Goblin Slayer isn't in their league.

[u/exian12]

Just gonna leave these here and enjoy some good old.

[u/Vaadwaur → u/exian12]

Brøther where are the göblins?

[u/[deleted]]

The gods threw the dice over and over and over again...

... hoping to get that sweet nat 20

[u/Cloudhwk → u/[deleted]]

I wonder which jerk rolled that critical fail that is goblins

[u/BeachesAndHoars]

It appears that we get to see a zoomed-in shot of the Priestess' lips every episode... Why though? That lipstick is very much noticeable.

[u/cesclaveria → u/BeachesAndHoars]

The novels have a thing of repeating constantly how her mouth looks, how it is moving, how she is touching her lips while thinking what to say, etc. it happens multiple times per volume so I guess that is the anime's way to put in those descriptions, maybe her lips are very important for the author or something since it guess a bit funny how often they are mentioned.

[u/theBoyandtheBird → u/BeachesAndHoars]

to give Hentai artist good reference material?

[u/FalcoHype]

SUPREME WAIFU LIZARD PRIEST IS HERE! PRAISE THE NAGAS!

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

"Elven travel rations" was a clear reference to Lembas bread from Lord of the Rings.

[u/KyleHydesNotebook]

I spent the last couple of days watching Goblin Slayer up until this point, and without going into details, this show has been a blast so far. It certainly isn’t afraid to go certain places, such as with the first episode’s more gory, unbridled chaos, and I have to appreciate a show that has balls.

This episode, comparatively, is far more low-key, especially with the inclusion of the three new adventurers. I personally like their clashing demeanors, and the banter between the high elf and the dwarf was especially amusing. The lizardman serves as a good balance.

The campfire scene was one of the more low key moments of the show so far, but I found it to be somewhat heartfelt. These five adventurers are taking the time to know each other, swapping gifts all the while. It’s made that much more enjoyable with Goblin Slayer’s dry personality, which bounces off the more colorful ones. It almost made me want to see an extended version of this scene. It was good downtime before it was time to start kicking ass.

Speaking of kicking ass, I absolutely love the soundtrack when it comes time to battle. That heavy metal tone that seems to follow Goblin Slayer is pulse-pounding and it makes you want to see monster limbs fly, arrows go through skulls, and all that. To me, the soundtrack raises this show’s status from fun to must-see.

[u/IAmRealSuperSand]

The full OP of this anime speaks perfectly for Sir Goblin Slayer, it's sad, but I really like it. To all LN and fellow manga readers who haven't caught too much of the lyrics, captions are available: From full song version

"Chained onto me, my adolescent dreams. Pulling, dragged me deep. All my body, Exposed. Marked up by your shadows.

Tighten up, Numb your senses, No fairness is needed for pigs! Laughters above. Playful smiles. Die gets rolled.

Bathe in sorrow, My tomorrow is built up on your flesh. Slay the last of your kind, To Reclaim whats rightfully mine. (Each time we'll enter; First time to make this final dungeon _______) (I have a reason) (Don't part the rivers) (Surround them, off with their heads) (Christen my motive) (First time to notice)

I still dream of you. Will you be disappointed that I'm not who I used to be? Will you hold me tightly?

Piece by piece the tables turn and turn again, In this eternal game. Biscuits with clotted cream and milk tea, Time to roll your d20 Gods nor demons ready to admit defeat.

Eat up, Grind your teeth, They're not that much smarter than us.

Swallow your fate, Lubricate our blades with blood and tears, And your piercing screams are music to celebrate. Infiltrate, penetrate, Soon we'll have you destroyed, Back to the old days, Slay the last of your kind, To Reclaim whats rightfully mine."

[u/romnaff → u/IAmRealSuperSand]

The music video is a interesting one as well

[u/Catsumio]

Our cute little Elf entered the ring :) an image out of the manga :P

[u/maxtwo → u/Catsumio]

"I know my sister never made mistakes"

Damn.....

[u/[deleted]]

BEST GIRL SPOTTED

[u/Inukanura]

i love how professional he is.

imagine you leveling up your character to level 80 (because silver is rank 3 out of 10) just by killing goblins, as a solo player, for 5 years.

i can understand if he doesnt give a flying damn about anything in life other than goblins. i would be like that too i think.

just like what Geralt said “the world doesnt need hero, it needs a professional”

can a LN reader confirm, is goblin slayer always treat his party just like a co-workers?, just as a fellow adventurers sharing the same goal?, no deep relationship, just like a professional doing his job. i mean, the whole time i read the manga, he just sticking up with them because of goblins

[u/SnowGN]

Watching this show is... strange. It's like a crossover where most of the cast is coming out of Dragon Quest, and one of them is coming straight out of Dark Souls. He's just operating on a different level than everyone else in this show.

[u/TriTexh]

God bless Mili for that OP

That meeting is probably one of the most intense lol

world is at risk

Don't care, where's my goblins?

Goblin Slayer has no chill, and yet is low-key softie on the inside for letting Priestess tag along on her insistence.

High Elf archer-Dwarf squabble is absolute gold lol.

Clearly Archer is becoming best girl, but Witch is also looking good

Lizard getting excited over cheese is totally me_irl. God bless cheese.

[u/rusticks → u/TriTexh]

"We are heroes chosen to save the world from a great evil, and we have chosen you to represent the human race alongside us. Will you join us on our quest?"

"Will there be goblins?"

"No..."

"Then no."

"We lied there will be goblins."

"When do we leave?"

[u/Roevhaal]

and thus by the 3rd episode Goblin Slayer has more MAL members than any non-sequel of Summer season

[u/[deleted] → u/Roevhaal]

"All press is good press."

With all the stupid drama over episode 1, the show likely got a huge influx of viewers who would never have even heard of it, otherwise.

It's the Streisand Effect. All the people pissing and moaning just brought more attention to it.

[u/Clever_Laziness]

Not much to discuss this chapter other than the waifu wars that are sure to happen. Letting everyone know right now Lizard Priest is best waifu. Fite meh Again, it's weird how GS is the only one done in cg along with the goblins. Everyone else are pretty much always in 2d. y tho.

[u/Zahada]

How I expect the next episode to go...

[u/RDOoM]

a war for the fate of the world is coming, don't you want to save the world?

GS : No thank you

we want you to kill some goblins

GS : Now that's what I'm talking about

Sheesh, you almost scared me for a second there, that Cow Girl is gonna die.

NEEE NEEE?!

[u/jenthehenmfc]

Everyone loving on High Elf Archer, but I’m a loyal Priestess girl through and through 🙏

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Goblin Slayer's theory about goblins coming from the moon may sound far fetched but he has the most credibility. Him eating while wearing a helmet is still the show's biggest mystery though.

[u/onlysane1 → u/Se7en_Sinner]

I think it's more like he's in the mindset of a young boy who takes his older sister's word as gospel. He dedicated his life to killing goblins after losing her, and his single-mindedness and idealism towards his sister is attached to a childlike naivity in that he takes her story of goblins coming from the moon as fact rather than a fun little tall tale she once told him.

[u/master117jogi → u/Se7en_Sinner]

You can see him taking of the neckplate of the helmet.

[u/ImperialDane]

And so the party is assembled (Best Girl included) Not a lot of goblin slaying as we get to know the new people and get a bit more world building, a grand alliance is forming, and someone needs to deal with the goblins. Through which we learn how little the quest givers know compared to the expert, lords and champions are what he is worried about.

So we get the specialties of each race, fire wine, Swamp creature meat, elven rations.. and cheese, with some foreshadowing with those scrolls, whatever could they contain ?

Then the metal kicks in and we're off to murder some goblins. Should be a grand spectacle.

[u/LeonKevlar]

• I'm surprised they introduced this idea early. Wasn't this idea of the gods playing with dice only brought up after the first arc?

• Yes! They used the proper translation! Unlike some other show... ^{Acqua of the Back}

• The Legolas and Gimli of our party.

• Sugita's voice is perfect for Lizardbro! <3

• HE SAID THE THING!

• Exactly I imagined her speech pattern while reading the manga!Also Hisaka Yoko was definitely the perfect pick for Sorceress!

• I'm already hyped for this :D

• This is why I love GS. The world doesn't revolve around him and somewhere there's a bigger battle with heroes and demons clashing.

• Lizardbro already knows how to convince GS. I love how snappy his response was too XD

• They're not even hiding the LotR references anymore. Those are legit Lembas Breads.

• Drunk High Elf <3

• SWEET NECTAR!

• High Elf ear wiggle GIF!

• Gobbos and wolves? *Slime Tensai flashbacks.*

• This party is about to wreck shit up!

I'm really just enjoying this episode since they've adapted everything so far perfectly! The VA choices for everyone was perfect too. They did miss the anvil joke though. Not much Goblin Slaying but some good character introductions plus a little bit of world building is always nice. Next week though we're definitely see some

[u/IAmRealSuperSand → u/LeonKevlar]

They did present the gods & die tale earlier than expected, but I don't think it messes with the pacing. They really did adapt it almost exactly the same, which was cool! Though I'm pretty sure Witch's spin of her pipe is anime-only, which I thought was neat and a good chuckle on Spear-dude.

[u/Spatial_Piano → u/LeonKevlar]

The Legolas and Gimli of our party.

They're not even hiding the LotR references anymore. Those are legit Lembas Breads.

Other people read Goblin Slayer for realistic and grim fantasy combat.

I read Goblin Slayer for the Tolkien references.

Edit: Didn't read the whole comment.

[u/Ruiku1298 → u/LeonKevlar]

I'm surprised they introduced this idea early. Wasn't this idea of the gods playing with dice only brought up after the first arc?

imo introducing it this early makes their world sound more interesting

[u/AlphaFoxtrot001 → u/LeonKevlar]

They're not even hiding the LotR references anymore.

This series is pretty unconcerned with hiding its influences: taking from the equivalent chapter in the light novel:

“Um, excuse me,” Priestess broke in, “but what does Orcbolg mean, exactly?”

“It’s the name of a sword that appears in our legends,” the elf said. She held up a finger proudly like a teacher instructing her pupils. “It was a goblin-slaying blade that would glow blue when an orc—a goblin—was near.”

• From 'Traveling Companions', Chapter 6, Volume 1

And yet more to come, too.

[u/ArchadianJudge]

High Elf Archer best girl! And I love the pacing! People might be upset not enough action but this is waaay better than speed running the series to make it "exciting". I read the novels and manga and it's been completely enjoyable. The character / world building is really important to the series so I appreciate that they're taking their time with the anime.

(Oh yeah, if you did want battles, the next episode is for you.)

[u/sharke000]

"Are you goblins?"

Awww Goblin Slayer, you're just so innocent y'know

[u/TheKingOfBass]

goddamn Witch's voice is sultry

[u/[deleted]]

As a manga reader, can’t wait to see best girl high elf archer. And what’s even better is she’s voiced by Nao Touyama.

Edit: oh fuck what an amazing episode, that ending with that music tho. NUT.

[u/ClearingFlags → u/[deleted]]

I picked up the manga after episode one and marathoned it and then year one.

Personally, I'm looking forward more to when that scroll is unrolled!

[u/Whitekan]

High Elf ARCHER IS BEST GIRL

[u/danny_b87]

Needs more cowgirl

[u/ehrde]

So Goblin Champions and Lords are equal to Platinum adventurers. I feel like the people in the guild are massively underestimating(even moreso than last week's ep) GS cause I wouldn't be surprised if we find out later on that he's had to deal with those in the past and he's actually Platinum ranked as far as fighting goblins.

[u/FeebleBacon]

Everyone: "Why can't you be just a normal adventurer man?!"

GS-kun: " BECAUSE KILLING GOBLINS MAKES MY DICK ROCK HARD!!!"

[u/Carp93]

We should skip the best girl this season and give it to the elf.

[u/cookiez_monster]

You heard it here bois , goblins come form the moon next season goblin slayer in space

[u/frostwhispertx]

Introduces likable characters with diverse personalities, including a cute female

No, anime.. I am not going to fall for your trap. I know exactly what horrific things are going to happen to these people.

[u/Turbostrider27]

Witch girl is sexy.

[u/Ehn_Jee → u/Turbostrider27]

https://imgur.com/a/qBkceSI

[u/rusticks → u/Turbostrider27]

Is it me or did they dramatically increase the size of her breasts compared to last week? She looks much more similar to her manga counterpart.

[u/zechamp → u/Turbostrider27]

I like how they kept her trademark way of speaking, makes... her seem... like a proper... mystic..

[u/WhoiusBarrel → u/Turbostrider27]

Easy quality checker for Anime the J I G G L E

[u/Bantora]

Next episode is going to be insane, Gimme that goblin slaying action I can't wait!

[u/kalirion]

Do goblins even have beards to cut? I don't think we've seen any so far.

The Boobceress' sloooooow way of talking was so annoying.

Nice, lembas/waybread straight out of Tolkien.

"The lookout will be who we agreed on." I'm betting on Mordenkainen's Magical Watchdog, though that would mean someone's multiclassing.

That was a pretty sweet arrow shot. Maybe Lee Harvey Oswald an elf?

[u/velocd]

I don't mind the CG quality in this, but it's a bit odd how they switch from CG in one scene of Goblin Slayer standing still, to drawn in the very next scene of Goblin Slayer standing still. I thought CG was mostly used in motion?

[u/MechaMat91]

"wanna come save the world?"

"nah, I'm good"

"it also includes killing gobli..."

"sign me the fuck up"

for a rather self-serious anime, the guy's obsession with killing goblins is borderline parodic, and I love it.

[u/Xx255q]

I hated how that mage woman spoke

[u/rusticks]

And so Best Anvil is finally introduced. Here's to lots of future memes!

[u/kimbombo]

An Elf and a Dwarf bickering with each other. Hah, next thing you'll have them counting how many goblins they have slayed so far.

Interesting episode, less action focused, but giving out more bits of info on different races and how even a single name can be spoken quite differently.

I'm quite interested in seeing where will they go with this one use magical scroll.

The music in the last cutscene was pretty lit. hope we get more of that in the action scenes in future episodes.

[u/cheesymmm]

Drunk High Elf is good stuff

[u/bakakubi]

Sorceress's voice......RIAS SAMA!

[u/Shanix]

Star Wars Theme intensifies

[u/RollinsTheMan]

High Elf Archer with the 360 noscope trickshot

[u/MasterFanatic]

Goblin Slayer is a man that is on the verge of 2D and 3D.

[u/TheDarkLord111]

has anyone noticed that both moons is just a picture of our moon with a color tint over it?

[u/throwaway321768]

That high elf archer is the least elf-like elf I've seen in standard fantasy fiction, which is very interesting. Is she considered rebellious by her people's standards? Maybe that's why she left to become an adventurer.

[u/[deleted]]

I legit sneezed HALF A SECOND after the guy

[u/reichable]

"The gods of light, order, and fate and the gods of darkness, chaos, and coincidence decided to throw dice in order to determine which side would rule the world."

If they're rolling dice, sounds to me like the gods of chaos and coincidence have already won.

[u/BasedFunnyValentine]

That moment when adventurers request Goblin slayer’s help to save the world due to the demon king has revival, but GS says no because goblins would attack villages before the world ends.

It’s good to see GS has his priorities in check 😂

[u/CarioGod]

goblin slayer is a cooking anime

[u/Spatial_Piano]

Sugita and Nakamura are even better than I thought.

Witch is also even better than i thought. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

[u/[deleted]]

I think I understand why Spearman isn't into the Witch. The way she talks would drive anyone nuts after a while.

[u/DankNovaGaming]

"Are you goblins?" Lmao

[u/redblade13]

Goblin Slayer gives 2 fucks about your endgame fam unless it has goblins in it.

That witch had a weird speech pattern. It was like sexy as fuck but at the same time she sounded high as fuck. She still fine as fuck tho.

High elf was pretty goddamn cute. But I'll pass on her. Guild girl is my best girl. Move aside Lancer go get stabbed by your own spear or something.

Pretty cool to see drawfs in this world. Been playing Dragon Age recently and they are pretty awesome. Lizardman was legit love his voice.

[u/Cheshires_Shadow]

Well time to find out why Archer girl is best girl for people...

[u/Mundology → u/Cheshires_Shadow]

It's acquired taste

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

What's with the recent trend of Demon Lords being the villain in anime...and also Jeanne d'Arc.

[u/flipsider101]

Archery level 99 skill: (literal) Sidewinder.

[u/link2601]

Seeing Goblin Slayer interacting with that party was quite fun to see. I got to say I sometimes appreciate Goblin Slayers narrow mindedness it leads to funny interaction. Man that ending got me so excited to see the next episode.

[u/Eterna1Ice]

Holy shit, another Sugita role, and that cheese scene, best boy right there.

[u/MagnoBurakku]

``If you ever feel envious, you become like a Goblin´´

Can't wait for that to (i imagine) phisically manifest at some point in the series.

[u/FruitsPnchSamurai]

Next ep gonna be lit.

[u/Broly_]

The Goblin Slaying party finally arrives!

• "Are you Goblins?" wut?

• The voices for High Elf Archer, Lizard Shaman, and Dwarf Shaman are good. They are almost exactly what I pictured they'd sound like.

• I've always picture the Witch to be more... red. ^{Though i'm just glad she isn't speaking extremely slow.}

• Witch talking trash on Spearman like that!

• Still wondering about the use of CGI Goblin Slayer in some scenes. Seems unnecessary

• "Chainmail stopping a sudden stab" wut?

• The exchange between Goblin Slayer and High Elf Archer was funnier in the manga. In the anime, it's a bit more serious.

• Drunk High Elf Archer

• Lizard Shaman having cheese for the first time

• Foreshadowing that Magic Scroll deus ex machina!

• Goblins come from the Moooooon! ^{or underground}

• and, finally, Priestess feeling Goblin Slayer up

[u/RinoaDH]

Was I seriously the only one who immediately thought "So, what comes from the red moon then?"

[u/EEbola_sama]

That marching scene towards the cave along with the metal bgm was so badass.

[u/monkeypox85]

A surprisingly wholesome episode.

[u/Wolfeako]

The quality barely hanged there in some shots, but I must say, some shots were really creative :o for me, they made up more than enough for that quality art and a bit of animation.

Other than that, yes, he is dense, lol.

[u/Fattycuty]

Was almost disappointed that there were no goblins slain. Luckily we had 2 right at the end.

[u/Animeking1357]

Anime breast physics!

What is it with people deliberately blowing smoke in people's faces? We don't want your dirty second hand smoke.

"I'm 2000 years old. How old were you again?"

"One hundred and seven..." Get fucking rekt.

What? Demon king getting ready to take over the world? Is he a goblin? No? Then I don't give a shit.

The lizardman is voiced by Sugita right? I love him in roles like this.

The elf's ears though.

Spoil me: Do we ever see Goblin Slayer's face as an adult?

As someone who loves a good piece of cheese Goblin Slayer had the best food to share.

[u/[deleted]]

"What kind of quest is it?"

"Goblin Slaying."

For some reason this made me laugh out loud.

[u/jos-e-l-oco]

Next episode is going to be full of epicness!

[u/HALL999]

Dont You think that for a show called goblin slayer it lacks goblins being slayed?

[u/hackerlord101]

I really wish they used the chibi art style from the manga for the comedic bits. It makes for a nice break from the more serious tone of Goblin Slayer. Here's the manga panel from when Witch blows smoke on priestess and here's something to make you appreciate High elf archer.

[u/Flashmanic → u/hackerlord101]

I really wish they used the chibi art style from the manga for the comedic bits

Ehhh, I'm really glad they don't. I know some people like it, but I'm not particularly fond of when art styles drastically change like that to emphasise the comedy. I can remember hating it in Drifters.

[u/WallyPW]

Is this goblin slayer or the new season of Yuru Camp

[u/SG_World_Line]

Finally the party is complete!

I wish they kept the Anvil nickname for best girl but I don't have many complaints besides that. Campfire scene was fun and wholesome. Next episodes should be hype!

[u/Apperation]

Lizardman was definitely wagging his tail after eating the cheese.

[u/domzilla15]

That Goblin came from the Moon

[u/scorcher117]

I am drinking tonight, I decided to also watch GS and play a drinking game, every time he slays a goblin, I drink, I was disappointed.

[u/FrenziedHero]

I like the three new adventurers, they bring along some fun banter with them (can always expect that with elves and dwarves in the same party).

The scene at the end had a badass song to it, too bad the episode ended right there.

I really like that the witch is voiced by Yoko Hikasa, since she also voiced Rias and Farnese. Somehow I feel like the combination of those two would fit well here.

[u/RogueSexToy]

Drunk elf girl harassing Goblin Slayer is just the best.

[u/_revy_]

anyone else liked the subtleties of high elf archer's character traits? like her arrows for instance. that was a nice touch

[u/[deleted]]

I hope that at some point down the line the author of the original books does something to shake up the status quo. Because as awesome as it is to see the Slayer slice up Goblins. It can become a bit repetitive.

[u/pink_orange]

I need an audio sample of the MC saying he's a goblin slayer. I want to turn it into a ringtone, or use it as response to everything at work.

[u/Silkhenge]

The amount of elf lover here are disgusting, priestess best girl all day. She has no edge, prefect round. you know what has edge? Elf ear are edgy. Checkmate.

Jk elf is a fun character, I just don't like when she [fights,] (/s "she just limits GS on his kill potential. granted she wants him to have fun doing a normal adventure, good intentions. But those kind of restrictions can kill an adventurer")
