since goblin slayer has pissed off all these idiot people looking for shit to get offended at (and some people that genuinely didn’t know what to expect cause crunchyroll is shit at labelling and age rating/restricting their shows)

i’m looking forward to all the edgy gorefiends getting alienated at the whole stretches of goblin slayer that are about the characters, worldbuilding, and revealing what happened to goblin slayer, the tedium of him preparing for everything, getting into the depths of his obsession and trauma and him doing the mundane shit in his life like turn in contracts, go patrol, do labor, pay his bills and talk with his party members he gets/priestess/cow girl/other characters without ANY goblin gangrape or extreme violence

Goblin Slayer Episode 1: TOTAL PARTY WIPE, GANGRAPE, PEOPLE GETTING TORN TO SHREDS, POISONING, MERCY KILLING, AND GOBLIN SLAYER KILLS THEM ALL! EVEN THE LITTLE BABBY GOBLINS!!! HEAVY METAL AS FUCK!!!

Goblin Slayer Episode 2: Goblin Slayer Pays His Bills And Looks At A Fence.

The second episode actually got me to pull up the manga and start reading it. Considered the light novels, but I’d rather not leave my imagination to form the pictures in this case.

Up to chapter (I think I’m on) 18, Goblin Slayer is 50% making fun of Goblin Slayer’s obsession with slaying goblins, 10% people realizing why he’s so obsessed with slaying goblins (this is the horrific stuff and/or realizing goblins are actually threatening), 25% baiting Goblin Slayer to do something other than slaying goblins, 7.25% priestess dilemmas, 5% slaying goblins, and 2.75% women fawning over Goblin Slayer.

Like. Beneath all the gory aspects, it’s unbelievably dorky. Which is in sharp contrast to everything I was told when the anime was first announced.

The banter between Goblin Slayer’s party members is honestly really heartwarming. They’re all really cool characters and it’s cute to see them interact.

Any amount of rape is too much.

Rape is NOT a plot device. And “material since viewers may consider disturbing” is not a specific enough warning.

I can handle graphic violence, especially in animation, but rape in any medium fucks with your head and we shouldn’t so easily trivialize it.

If their goal was to show that goblins are evil and a threat, the total party wipe would be sufficient. Rape is taking it too far. Even off screen. It’s not ok.
