Goblin Slayer Talkback

[TheVileOne]

GOBLIN SLAYER on Crunchyroll!

Show and episode 1 are now up on Crunchyroll.

FAIR WARNING:

This show is NOT a happy go lucky anime. While there is some comedy and humor to come later, the show is also at times very bleak and dark. Know going in its very dark very quickly.

Considering how the LN and the manga described certain...scenes..., I think the anime did a decent enough job giving us a balance of both.

OH...this anime...

I'm debating with myself to give it watch, the first few chapters alone of the LN and manga made my stomach churn.

Same. Hard pass all around to all three.

You should watch it anyway.

Man, some people are really up in arms over this show.

It's like they've never seen Berserk or Hellsing Ultimate before.

To be fair the former is good and the latter is dumb fun

The art REALLY does not help. With the art in Berserk you EXPECT shit to be dark and gritty and add on the trope of Rape is a Special Kind of Evil and there you go.

Berserk is apparently the "proper" way to depict such subject matter or some such nonsense.

The Fall 2018 Anime Preview Guide - Goblin Slayer

Creamer and Beckett pretty much nail my issues with the series, mostly Creamer.

Edit: As an aside, the still of this video is of the goblins when they evolved into Hobgoblins(Male) and Goblinas(Female).

Don't hijack the thread with your slime show. Goblin Slayer is better.

Not according to Anime News Network or Crunchyroll for that matter. And Pot Calling the Kettle Black since that's what you immediately did on mine. Don't hate for my show not having an Audience Alienating Premise and being much more easily accessible and enjoyable.

Which means what exactly? I don't hate Slime at all, but I'm not throwing up Goblin Slayer videos in the Slime thread. Doesn't seem like anything has alienated the audience of Goblin Slayer as its the hottest show of the fall season.

It's possible that could be people generating buzz about the show and not them necessarily liking it. It's been an absurdly hot topic for the past couple of weeks for reasons both good and bad.

Results say otherwise:

- Reddit thread for episode one has almost 5,000 upvotes.

Double that of Slime Episode 1. Shatters the new season of JoJo and SAO.

GOBLIN SLAYER

First episode on Crunchyroll has almost 6,000 votes. Significantly more than Slime, First episode of Golden Wind, and Alicization.

The fans have spoken, and they like Goblin Slayer. Most of the complaining about the show have been weak, flimsy arguments at best. Or jerks like Pedantic Romantic conflating his own prejudices onto goblins. Pedantic Romantic, "I will personally go to your home and chop your {blank] off."

Here's another gem from Digibro talking about Goblin Slayer:

"The rape wasn't even good."

Yes these are the prominent YouTubers who trashed Goblin Slayer. Such sophisticated commentary.

Here's the anime opening, Rightfully by Mili.


The ending is called Gin no Kisei by Soraru.

That's pretty much been the general consensus. Kind of like that one Eldrich Pool animated music video. The show is VERY MUCH not my show, but it's so overtly shocking that it not causing some kind of major stir would be absurd. Review opinion on the other hand is more mixed to say the least where as shows like Slime, Zombie Land, JoJo, and the Bunny one consistently get reviews of being well liked.

Just came from there. Goblin Slayer is sitting at 4.3, Slime at 4.9, Zombie Land at 4.6, and JoJo at 4.8. More votes does not mean more popularity ditto for more discussion since it's trailing all of these with Slime leading the surprise pack followed by JoJo. What I don't get is why? A series you like got picked up in spite of having an aggressively Audience Alienating Premise. Why not just be happy with that? I frequent an MMA forum's Anime and Manga board and everyone on there LOVES Berserk and obviously bemoan that it doesn't get the adaption it deserves or that it's not more widespread in popularity, but they're all knowledgeable about the why. That being that it's just not for everyone and simply enjoy the things that DO happen like more JoJo, surprise weird shows like Zombie Land and Bunny Senpai(4.6), and excellent surprises from studios with back track records like 8-bit hitting a Grand Slam to win the game with Slime.

From where? Not seeing those numbers anywhere.

1) Not sure what you don't get

2) No evidence the premise is aggressively audience alienating at all. The results say otherwise that the show is anything but audience alienating.

3) Goblin Slayer is one of if not the hottest shows of the fall season and possibly the year.

It's not the premise that's audience alienating. It's some of the content. To me it's no more audience alienating than Netflix's Castlevania, Berserk and SAO. And plenty of grandstanding anime viewers have complained about the rape content of SAO and the way female characters are treated.

As for Berserk, the original anime was never that popular in Japan. But I mean in the last several years it's gotten a new series plus new feature length movies. So it's not like new material isn't getting made. The movies looked like they were fairly well done and were fairly faithful to the manga despite the parts that were cut.
