My Thoughts
This episode was really good at building up suspense for the next episode. It shows everyone in the guild coming together to help Goblin Slayer deal with the goblins at the farm which is a really nice gesture despite most doing it for the rewards from the guild. The episode also shows more of Goblin Slayer’s knowledge and wit in regards to dealing with goblins, and even more so, a horde of goblins led by the best mutation of goblins. The end scene where you can see Goblin Slayer lying in wait for the Goblin Lord is also a great end scene for this episode. Overall, I liked this episode and it’s one of the better episodes from Goblin Slayer.
