I gave the entire first season an 8 and I watched all the episodes in half a day. It was quite gripping and entertaining but the second season ruined everything that was good about the first season. The biggest problem at the beginning is the change in art design due to the change in illustrators. The animations in the second season look very cheap and bad. The new characters added to the story are boring and there is nothing interesting about the previous characters. The effectiveness of the goblins has also been greatly reduced and the episodes are boring slices of life. The main character, the Goblin Slayer, no longer has clear motivations and the writer's attempts to give him more personality have failed. If you have already watched the first season, I do not recommend continuing with the second season. It would be better to believe that the story was ended in the first season, or you can read the manga.

Many may think that an anime series will be boring if all it does is go around killing small green bastards, but in reality, while watching this anime, you will never feel like there is something missing, not a single minute of boredom. The main character has a tragic past which is related with goblins, and what happened many years ago is the reason why he wants to kill them all, during his journey as an adventurer he will join a party with partners from different races, and thanks to Goblin Slayers knowledge on goblins, they will massacre all of them without hesitation. One last thing about this anime, at the beginning of every episode there is a warning for sensible people, read it.

The main protagonist, Goblin Slayer, never fails to deliver new and creative ways of slaying goblins. Instead of fussing over elite quests and obtaining elite status, Goblin Slayer and his crew focus on the low-rank monsters which terrorize the common people.

The show does not hide how brutal its world is. They heavily detail exactly what goblins are capable of and how violent and threatening they can be - - several scenes are quite disturbing, so I do not recommend it for young viewers.

While the faint of heart may quickly turn away from this anime, the plot is paced well and up to episode five it is a very interesting adventure. The first episode does well to set the tone of the rest of the show, and introduces the first of a loveable cast of side characters. Note, that this review was written when only five episodes were out. All five of those episodes were enjoyable, and I found no reason to dislike them. If you liked the anime Overlord, you may enjoy this.

They should've ended the show with the first season. It was dark, violent, fast-paced and had a complete arc. It attracted viewers who were looking for exactly that.

The second season completely flips the script, becoming more slice-of-life. There are plenty of slice-of-life anime, and they're much better than Goblin Slayer.

Trying to cater to both crowds has created something that satisfies neither. The violent scenes are too much for the slice-of-life crowd and those who enjoy the violence aren't interested in exploring trauma and daily struggles. I'll be very surprised if there's a third season.

Season 1: 8/10 Season 2: 5/10.

This isn't a simply braindead action for action sake anime. Adding real life results from actions and consequences is better than most shows out there. Goblin Slayer did for fantasy what Ghost in the Shell did for Cyber Punk. It showed a real world thought provoking narrative.

First episode is an absolute slaughter lol. I wouldn't say you should watch it, cause there are definitely better animes out there. Before the last 2 episodes I would have given it a 6/10. The story is not deep at all and the action also isn't great, but it's watchable.

Really fun to watch so far, very inspiring and quickly becoming one of my favorite TV shows ever. This show will age well, the undertones are well layered and it promotes positive values. The show quickly becomes something very different than the first episode so don't buy into your first impression, this is most definitely a thinking show. 10/10

Goblin Slayer is off to a great start with its introductory episode and doesn't spare a moment in getting right to the action. Goblin Slayer's stoicism makes for a great protagonist in a supposedly dark fantasy genre when things get downright gory and unsightly. For the first few episodes, Goblin Slayer and priestess form a duo with an interesting relationship of an unexperienced aspiring adventurer and one who's underestimated due to only accepting one type of quests.

However the appeal and hype of the series dies down towards the mid part when a more generally appealing fantasy adventure feel and atmosphere was mixed into the story, making it almost like a generic fantasy adventure anime instead of the uncompromising style it presented in the first few episodes. Goblin Slayer's character also takes a slow dive after a while. While he is ranked fairly high amongst adventurer ranks, he seems to have been nerfed, or at least does not seem as strong as he was initially made out to be, most likely due to the need for the other characters who accompany him to be of more use and assistance to him in their journeys. Adding other adventurers is not a problem if it adds more character to the story, but in this instance it gets in the way of seeing Goblin Slayer as the skilled adventurer that he should be, combat-wise, seeing as to how he's used to slaying goblins all the time by himself before he met his companions. On the plus side, he is consistently showcased to be a smart tactician, which plays a big role in his battles.

That being said, there was definitely something lost with Goblin Slayer by bringing in more adventurers to his side. While it is interesting to see how his character develops and how he interacts with others with his personality, it also compromises his character by having to introduce others by his side to assist him and gets in the way of making him THE Goblin Slayer.

Its awesome. Finally a dark Anime that has it All. Its dark, the main characters Are not to OP, theres blood, ppl die and so on. The scenes really makes you hate goblings like never before.

The premise / background is interesting and draws you in. Unfortunately, the story never really develops and the characters are sort of one dimensional.

The hero keeps his helmet / armour on the entire time like a five year old wearing his spiderman costume. The supporting characters are mainly beautiful women, portrayed as weak, needing his help and falling for him (which he fails to notice).

There are some good fight scenes but sort of predictable. There is also an awful lot of repetition of major scenes (like waking up in the morning, checking the fields, the girl making breakfast, going to the market and so on).

It would have been so much better if they could have included scenes from his formative years / struggle before he practically became unbeatable as a goblin slayer.

The show is weak. There's really not much to it. The story is weak, the characters are average or feels unnatural. The banter usually doesn't lead anywhere. A lot of random scenes that drag out runtime without adding much to the story. Not much suspense or sense of danger.

I do like how dark the anime can be but you really don't get too much of it. Goblins are easily killed and generally aren't dangerous unless you're dumb and run into a cave full of them without light or experience... sounds like common sense but that's what they do.

The goblin slayer randomly showing up and staying with them for years is weird. It's interesting that they speak as if it's a dungeon-based video game. I guess gamers might like it a bit because it's got that nerd element to it.

The show doesn't have much comedy or light-hearted scenes. It's mainly just gloomy and doomy.

Goblin Slayer is probably the most controversial and the most hated anime show of 2018 for the first episode only and as a manga reader I really don't understand why cause from my point of view the first episode actually toned down the level of gore and nudity a lot compared to the manga and it all to serve one purpose that is to show us as the viewer know how messed up a dark fantasy anime can get after so many fast food Isekai anime ruined the definition of the term "Dark Fantasy" with OP main character and their cheat code ability.That being said Goblin Slayer is not a perfect anime or even a good adaptation from the source material cause like I said before it toned down and cut a lot plus the horrible CGI Slayer and the rushed production in the animation department clearly not helping the anime at all but with the season 2 announcement in the season finale I can only hope that studio White Fox will learn from their mistakes and move on to give us the faithful adaptation of Goblin Slayer that we deserve

It's a good story and there is no drag. I think it deserve better rating than this. Goblin slayer is the hero. It's perfect it's own way. There isn't any flaw I see.

An hyper polarized story Evil Vs Good of the guy who seek revenge over the goblins, creatures described as unworthy of any respect or grace (including children) , an hazard for 2022 standards, maybe a step too much for the average influencer .

One scene in the first episode can be disturbing also for adults so not for minor (I see rating in europe pretty low) .

The story is tense, this I liked, also dark, but also very short and value empty overall, maybe shonen but not suitable due to violence level and other stuff... . Speaking of which, the Cowgirl we do not understand the role (sarcasm) ... also a minus to the series . The other characters are all decent level, but nothing that really break the screen.

Do you remember the kid who always did things very differently in school (not necessarily wrong but just different) just to stand out?

He apparently produced an anime but learned it. There are also character designs, weapons and clothing that remind me of The Witcher, Final Fantasy and Assassin's Creed. So there is something for everyone except children. Despite a visual style that is sometimes indistinguishable from a lighthearted shonen series such as "Magi, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, and Fairy Tail."

The thorny issue of sexual assault remains one of the most difficult issues to address for each medium. But compared to the rest of the episode, it's just a drop in the bucket as well as compared to the entire series. (But these scenes were narrative important and 20 times worse in manga) And the first episode is just to establish "that there is no children's series". That just looks bright but it's dark.

And "Goblin Slayer" is certainly dark, but not as dark as anyone says but more serious. And I love it at first sight quite a steel break but it is suitably chosen realistic and plausible. But above all, well-balanced that's why it harmonizes as well as Honey Mustard sauce. Goblin Slayer is a funny, sloppy adventure about a plate-armored psycho that surpasses the rules of the RPG world he lives in, and the most inventive, efficient, and often entertaining way possible. plays and marries with the cheerful murder lust of games like Doom and Hitman.

But with all the praise I have to seriously criticize that the eponymous Goblin Slayer is not the main character and it is difficult to identify with him because he is literally faceless. It's clearly too heavily inspired by Dungeons and Dragons, the Goblin Slayer itself looks like a standard fantasy video game boss, his helmet like a rail cleaner, some attacks stolen from street fighters, CGI where it does not belong. Just like One Punch-Man, Goblin Slayer is a parody of his own genre, yet it tells a story of seriousness instead of clapping jokes. Unfortunately, they are not reinventing the wheel. Rarely bring something new to the table, they could only really go all out in the first episode and we did not shoot powder too early or episode 1 (only two episodes were really brutal). I think the biggest drawback is the Goblin Slayer itself is too monotonous. He lacks the certain something, this little peculiarity or a character Quirk that makes him a little more stand out or could make hypocritical. For example, that he is addicted to kill night or has an attitude like Dexter Morgan Goblin Slayer feels, on the whole, like a spin off series to an epic fantasy game, you just gave the popular sidekick its own mini-series. This is not bad when he just waits for more and gets nothing besides, I felt the creators just wanted to shock and fix us in the very first episode because the rest of the series is pretty standard and with that guess I'm not charging wrong.

and if the monologues were not meant as a parody, they would be unbearable.

PS.: None of the characters has a name. the audience only knows their titles or roles.

Most of the bad ratings here come from people who got triggered by the first episode and never looked back. You watched one ep, got uncomfortable, and now you're out here dropping 1-star reviews like you're doing the world a favor? B Please, grow tf up.

I don't like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, but I don't tank its rating just because it's not for me. I respect the art, the effort, and the fans. That's what adults do.

Someone in the comments literally wished death on the genre and its viewers... You good? Maybe Digimon or Beyblade is more your speed, sweetheart. Actually.. get some help.

Now, back to Goblin Slayer: Yes, it's violent. Yes, it's dark. Yes, the first episode is disturbing. But that's the point, this isn't your typical feel-good anime.

It's not as deep as Berserk but it ain't trying to be. It's its own beast - sharp, focused, relentless.. No cheesy shonen tropes. No flashy protagonists. Just a broken man on a mission, doing the dirty work nobody else wants to face.

If you want flowers and magic beams, move along.

If you want gritty, unapologetic fantasy, this one delivers.

(My real rating is more of a 8/10 but im compensate for the haters).
