I don't know how the slow, uneventful therapy show about quietly camping with your friends blew up like Yuru Camp has, but I'm sure glad it did.

That final scene in Gridman is perhaps the most interesting part of it to me, as the entire episode I was thinking how crazy it was that the city was just getting blown apart so much.

Gridman's an interesting beast. Very, very, very moody relative to Trigger's reputation. There isn't a note of background music until 3 quarters of the way through the episode. I'm not sure what it's going for just yet thematically, but it's really solidly executed so far so I'll stick around and see if I can find out.

Also it sure looks like that early twist they keep hinting at is just that they're in the loving Matrix. Kind of hope it's at least a little bit more complicated than it appears.

Goblin Slayer looks like a faithful adaptation, but jesus the music bothers me. A character as broken and traumatized as GB probably shouldn't have a metal, kickass theme. Like, keep it intimidating and intense, but maybe don't sound like the murder fest is a giant gently caress yeah scene. The series itself makes it clear what he's doing and how he's going about it is ruthless and mechanical.

Then again, maybe I'm asking for just a bit too much nuance from someone who wanted to adapt Goblin Slayer.:shrug:

Anywho, I get the feeling I won't make it past three episodes. There was a way to make the series better from the get go, and this wasn't really it.

I like how SSSS.Gridman's every shot is filled with little details in the setting and an importance on light and shadow as the days turn throughout the ep. It's the kind of directing I like where they're clearly aware of their animation limitations and choose to stress out every moment's personal impact. It reminds me a ton of how Ninja Slayer uses key animation, but Yamoto Koki's episodes especially, which were very deliberate instead of flying around with the flash-animation memes.

I've only watched Gridman and Zombieland and those were total standouts. Like some excellent direction and production values, almost pitch perfect pacing and writing.

Please watch good shows.

This is cool because it should be the Daihaseisai arc, which is probably the most popular one in Railgun.

Kind of sucks if someone’s got some legit triggers and just wants a fun action-fantasy, though.

Goblin Slayer can get in the bin. I knew roughly what to expect, but also assumed it would be toned down for TV and might somehow be palatable.

Okay, caveat. I hope that no one was legitimately triggered by it, because that would be a horrible thing to find funny.

Goblin Slayer doesn't even make sense. There's a contradictory juxtaposition between how brutally savage the goblins are, especially against women, and how underestimated their abilities are. Like how is this information not shared, when they have a quest board and guild power rankings? How do they even allow female adventurers to go on goblin quests without proper protections, or even go at all?

The series seems more focused on being as edgy as possible while trying not to look lame, but fails in that aspect too imho. Like showing the nail scratch marks on the ground indicating the post-rape struggle that lead to presumably more rape and showing the wagon full of rescued 1000-yard stare post-raped girls being trucked back into society just came off as :rolleyes: to me.

It's a shame, because the priestess's character setup was decent, and the titular Goblin Slayer is intriguing, but I'm not really looking for a show that's a mix of Grimgar and Kuroinu.

Gridman: I do wonder why that spooky guy is lugging around 4 poles. I thought they were katanas in the preview images and just thought he was a huge edgelord, but now I'm just confused.

Yeah, I've not watched it yet and the fact that even the more charitable summaries basically seem to read as "Grimgar but with rape monsters" isn't really doing a lot to sell me on it.
