If you haven't watched it, the one on the left is the child(age 15).

Tbh the whole thing's basically someone's degenerate fetish designed to push the envelope, so I don't blame them for it at all. Her being 15 with that body is just the cherry on top of a shit sundae.

Also Mamori's voice made me want to dig out my eardrums, I fucking hate it so much.
 
Britbongistan's loss. I don't think they intended it but Valkyrie Drive was one of the funniest animus I've ever watched.
 
I only hoper Sailor Moon movie won't be a thing... with current trends in american movies story about female team would be terrible.

Also, finished 2nd season of Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Outstanding show.
 
I started watching SSSS.Gridman, and while it seems okay so far, I feel like the creator's fetish is being stomped on by a cute girl or something.


Sounds bland.

It's not bad, the fight scenes are well framed, and the comedic scenes are generally funny and kind of cute.

One joke I liked was the adventuring party describing why they started adventuring at the start of a chapter, in colour. The shaman talks about religion, the mage and archer talk about wanting to see the world.

The page goes black and white as Goblin Slayer says "I want to-" "Yeah I think we get it."



I haven't read all the LN, but bigger things do come up directly involving GS. A cult that worships the Goblin's home of the green moon pops up, and there's a goblin Paladin that starts spreading ironworking and healing among goblins (which would potentially turn them into a major threat).

Gokushufudou: The Way of the House Husband

Some random pages.

I just finished reading the Goblin Slayer manga. It is fairly bland and generic for its genre. A friend of mine made a video talking about it . Is there any rule against posting youtube links?

If you click on the film reel icon (labeled "media") you can embed it. It's right next to the Image icon (looks like a landscape painting) above your text box.
 

This isn't a video freaking out about the rape or anything. Its an overall critique of the Goblin Slayer story as it currently is.
 
I wonder why there is no thread about the Myanimelist community on kiwifarms, the subforum to discuss goblin slayer has been giving some notable examples of autism.

Interesting video, but the very first point he makes is... wrong. I mean, not to sound like a GS fanboy or anything, but he's harping on rookie adventurers being send to their doom without anyone telling them "for no reason", though the Manga makes a big point of explaining that the Receptionist girl is troubled by sending out rookies to quests that no other person would take since she knows the people will most likely get killed or badly injured, however if they don't go, noone else will. And it makes a big point out of explaining that most adventurers underestimate Goblins cause they only ever beat up single scout Goblins, who are chased off or killed rather easily. Said people underestimate the Goblins, go in unprepared and get swarmed by dozens of Goblins that they can't defend against. And it is also said that some groups prevail and manage to kill the Goblins, so it's not a 100% sure thing that the rookies die . . .
And he harps on how it makes no sense that people on one hand think Goblins aren't a big deal but area large threat to adventurers on the other hand. Again, it is explained with the goblin-scout-thing and it is said that most high ranking adventurers ignore Goblin quests cause they are paid very poorly - mostly cause the ones asking for help come from tiny villages, hamlets or even just farms.
I'm only harping on this myself, cause he makes a major point out of this to criticise the world building in GS, even though it is explained in the manga and anime.

This is just the first 5 minutes and it just goes on like this. An interpretation based on a half-truth that is then inflated to explain why GS is bad and you should feel bad for liking it.

Yeah, the world building is very basic in GS, I would never compare it to the likes of Lodoss or even Slayers, but the few things that are there don't need to be downtalked like this.

While the anime adaption of doesn't explain much(and pretty much goes in an entirely different direction plot-wise starting with TRY, though even the first two seasons have numerous changes) the original Slayers light novels have quite a bit of world-building, including a thorough explanation on how the magic system works and lots of content related to the structure of the world's universe on a cosmic scale. The series' author, Hajime Kanzaka, would also constantly answer fans' questions about this stuff, too.
