And I live in a house. But if I go out and lay on the lawn, people might think I'd get filthy.Quote:

Look at all that bedding to shield him from that filthy nature!
Indeed there is bedding. Good for warmth when you sleep, amongst other things. Also good against dirt. But other pictures suggest he's fine with that. Not very convincing.
Or is he? Just because he's getting dirty doesn't mean he's enjoying it. Kinda hard to traverse a dirt road without getting dirty.Quote:

I got the kind of impression from Sword Maiden's words that something is changing in the world. Considering the whole story so far, I also do get from it the kind of impression the goblin problem has been getting more severe, perhaps during the last few decades. The goblins are evolving, getting better at what they do, and spreading their influence. Aided by some dark power. The reason I'm blathering about this is because it would affect how the story will progress. Goblin Slayer's methods against the goblins won't be anymore as successful and one-sided if the goblin menace gets worse.
The beginning of this season was really underwhelming, but I haven't got right now any complaints.
Sometimes I wonder if the twist in this show is that it IS a game world, and all the characters we know are just NPCs, which is why they don't have names.
Would also fit with the whole "gods are rolling dice" theme.

At first I thought Priestess was shocked that she purified the Shaman's blood and "killed" it, which would have made no sense since she's been killing goblins for a year now. I'm guessing that she only intended to purify the debuff on her friends, so the spell targetting the Shaman instead made her think she screwed up. Her reaction and voice still make it sound as if she's done some horrific deed though.

Also, pretty sure there was an Arachnotron from Doom in the Hell sequence. :p
The battle was terribly animated and directed. The were zero dynamics in the whole thing. Perhaps the whole Priestess getting so shocked was connected to that travesty of execution. As it is, it just left me wondering what's going on. If she indeed had intended to heal her friends so that they could again defend themselves, but the miracle instead did nothing but take down the goblin priest/mage, whatever it was, then her reaction was quite natural. But then again, since the goblins had all the time in the world to kill the whole team, according to the director/animators, yet did little else but tear Elf Archer's clothes, who knows, it made it look like more of a personal religious crisis for the Priestess. All that being said, the worst part still was Elf Archer failing so miserably to wound the goblin mage/priest seriously. If you consider her previous skills with the bow, now she suddenly hit like a total noob. If the director was up to the task, there would have been a distraction that made her arrow miss the lethal mark.
I think Priestess had a similar (but somewhat lessened) reaction when Goblin Slayer asked her summon a wall at a cave entrance, and he used it to trap a bunch of goblins to their death (can't remember if it was fire/water/poison). It's been a year since then so I figured she'd be okay with using Miracles offensively now.
Yeah, she's still very much a newbie priestess. The elven marriage ceremony said "fate is death", which I reckon means every living thing ultimately returns to earth, and that's perfectly natural. It seems like Priestess is still far from realising that in her measure of faith. She doesn't yet, intrinsically, understand that for her Earth Mother, death is every bit as natural as life, as the living nature needs both to keep rolling.
Episode 9
- - - - -
Maybe Goblin Slayer shouldn't be the one reporting on the mission status to the guild afterwards if it's not a goblin mission. Guild Girl needed to pry every word out of him and still didn't get any decent answers.
I feel like Goblin Slayer was kind of more rudely straightforward in this episode than normally. And I'm not talking about the anvil misunderstanding. It's like he was highly impatient. The wedding trip turned out to be a goblin hunt, so he shouldn't be considering that wasted time at all. The sea serpent quest probably left him dissatisfied, but since Sword Maiden specifically sought him out to slay goblins, he should have been quite happy. Instead he acted disgruntled. Maybe it was just the director failing at making him blunt in his usual way.
Sword Maiden drawing on a map is just weird.
S2E10
--------------------
That princess should get raped. It would only make sense for that to happen. But I feel that this show's done its shock factor pull and now is happy to be another adventure story so won't pull another one on us - at least not graphically.
If she had simply ran away, I might have had some sympathy for her, but she bloody stole a real adventurer's gear. Even if she left gems as a payment. She's spoiled rotten, and so it wouldn't be much of a loss if she was truly spoiled as a result. That being said, these aren't any ordinary goblins, so it's entirely possible they will need her untouched for some sacrificial ritual. Especially if they are under the false belief she's a priestess, considering her stolen clothes. So, I wouldn't even call it plot convenience if she wasn't raped, but is waiting to be killed in a ceremony.Quote:

Yeah, trying to use a hostage to stop or slow down the enemy won't do much good if there's no communication whatsoever and the enemy doesn't seem to care. That was thus the correct decision from Goblin Slayer. Goblins not being too smart, the priest included, the priest couldn't really think fast enough about how to deal with the situation, so it just stood there and got taken down. All that being said, this seemed super easy. I suspect someone else is behind the mark the goblins carry, not that priest. Maybe getting out of the dungeon will be much harder than getting in.
I'm betting the main threat is whatever fell on the holy mountain. We know Goblins came from the green moon. So it's probably some kind of supergoblin. Which will do terrible, supergoblin things to the Hero's all-female party.
Episode 12 Final
-- - --
It seems to me the king would have forced a reward upon them, lest he would appear ungrateful. They did save a princess, after all, even if it was never recorded anywhere. But all the more so: since the whole incident was to be kept a secret, it means there was no glory/fame to be gained. A reward would be everything.
It was a good detail getting out of the dungeon wasn't so easy, with the army of goblins welcoming them outside, but likewise it was good others finally acted as well.
