There's quite some hype around SAO/Index and I haven't watched a single episode. One of these days I might get around to them...

SAO is very polarizing

Holy shit I just did a count and I'm currently set to follow 15.

Probably 16 if that Hunter x Hunter Circus anime is as good as it's PVs look.

Goblin Slayer

So apparently adventurers getting slaughtered and raped by goblins is not uncommon? And the guild just let a bunch of rookies go do exactly that?

whew, goblin slayer isn't terrible. spot on music, voice acting, i can handle this much CG and though some of the animation is lazy they've got the key points in. yes, that includes the rape and all the murders, including the goblin children and her reaction.

Im betting Goblin presents it as something sexy or just uses it for cheap thrills or whatever


oh no, it's presented as goblins being goblins. nothing sexy about it. it's supposed to be a terrible scene that makes you quickly understand that you're dealing with the same kind of goblins you've seen in just about every other fantasy setting. generally speaking, while there's a decent amount of nudity in the manga and LN, it's not sexy.

yeah, because that's a typical thing told in fantasy stories. the setting is just another one of them, only here we've a key focus on the goblins. in all of them you're gonna have rookies who know better but because they think goblins are easy and don't want to do quests like chasing around sewer rats, they get a quick reality check.

Not sure if it'll translate to high viewership but seems like Goblin Slayer is generating a lot of discussion early on!

I just hope its enough of a hit to reach some of the arcs I liked best.

I'm reading that there's also a Railgun S3 in addition to the Accelerator anime.

I really hope this series keeps getting anime adaptations because I'm told it gets really good later on. (Referring to Raildex as a whole here)

Also LtM as someone who has also only watched Railgun, I've been universally told by others that Accelerator improves a lot after his content in Railgun.

Goblin Slayer is very good

complete opposite of that Grimgar garbage we got a few years ago when a huge party spent a whole episode fighting goblins and failing but nobody getting hurt

By the way what that's airing this season has been good so far? Already watching SAO and Blokm Into You, but I'm in the mood to pick up more shows this season.

I was interested in RErideD, but it seems the consensus opinion is not great right now.

They have a ton of time to work on episodes of RErideD post 4 because of the early release of the first 4 episodes, so I'm waiting until next month to see the word on the street once new ones come out.

As for this season, there's tons of stuff I liked, though I have a few more to go. So far, in order of best to least best.

Zombieland Saga
JoJo
Double Decker
Thunderbolt Fantasy 2
Bunnygirl
Slime Isekai
Bloom Into You
Uzamaid
Boarding School Juliet
Akanesasu Shoujo
Run with the Wind

Goblin Slayer is good, just too uncomfortable with the sexual violence.

it was literally them failing to kill goblins then going back to town to complain about being broke... then spends half the episode with people shopping and talking really slowly about how their life sucks while staring at the stars

it was a massive waste of time because nothing of value happened

yea it's a completely different show

it's just the similarity of it being a high(?) fantasy adventure show with a party going out doing quests and the first episodes dealing with goblins in different ways

like Grimgar from the one episode I watched was obviously one of those shows where they focus on the mundane aspects of adventuring which I didn't enjoy (Death March was the same but it was at least hilariously bad and not boring like Grimgar)

I liked Log Horizon quite a bit, but never watched the second season...

Grimgar was bad due to the slow pacing and crappy insert songs, mainly.

Touche.

Though oddly they seem most up in arms about people being upset they took out the backstory for all the characters in the first episode? You would think fans would be upset about cut content, not defending it.

The first episode of Anima Yell! was great. The main girl was a lot of fun, and I like the other characters they've introduced too. Plus that pacing was great, I feel like the first episode already covered stuff that would normally be dragged out over two or three episodes in some other anime. There was one joke I felt they overused a bit but they're past that now. This and Ms. vampire look like they'll be the fun cute girls anime of the season.

There's a lot of arguing over if rape should be used to show how evil the goblins are, and also even if having the goblins be rapists is appropriate, is the way it is shown in the anime an appropriate way to show the goblins being rapists.

So defense of both the use of rape, and the way it was shown has been going on.

This is legitimately what I thought when I first read the synopsis, and I was envisioning some comedy anime in which some absurdly powerful adventurer wastes all of his time doing nothing but killing as many trash mobs as he can for fun.
