Goblin Slayer

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
