I lost interest in the series altogether once the supposedly dark fantasy became a lot less dark, i.e. pretty much straight away. I can understand the necessity for GS's consistently flawless victories even if they end up making the whole thing boring and inconsequential but the typically everpresent LN cancer (e.g. pointless SoL, waifufagging/harembaiting) is beyond the pale. GS is too easy to self-insert as, as well.

It's also dumb to see all of the other silver-ranks start at the same time with the same equipment they have in the main story. And I'm still salty about the "lol, let's wear helmets this time" moment.

Additionally they only ask him for tasks nobody else wants to do or if nobody better is around, since he is considered to be on the weaker end of the silver rank.

Only the people who don't know him that well. Virtually everyone who matters likes or respects him to some degree, when background characters show disdain towards GS it's mostly for flavor. The viewpoint shown by his would-be assassin from the latest chapter should be far, far more common than it is and even then it was undermined by his personal grudge against him.

It's neither.
He's weird, so everyone just ignore him, they know he exist, they might give him some respect because he's silver ranked (which is max ranks without politics involved, so one would assume he's at least competent) or some scorn because all he does is hunting goblin, the guild staff likes him because he's doing a public service (on the cheap), but that's about it.
It's treated semi-realistically, the parties don't really work together or really know each others, the guild is a temp agency, you go in find a job, pay your fee/do the paperwork, go out, maybe you have a drink and chitchat with colleagues but you don't have to.
No one has any reason to be hostile to him (except the lancer since, but that's just a love triangle/rivalry thing).
If you have someone that is weird in a place like that, well, you just don't talk to him and just forget he's here, especially since he only takes jobs people don't want to do in the first place...
It's also why the first reaction when he asks for help is "fuck no, what are you on about?", it's not hatred or anything it's just not the kind of place the adventurer guild is, to which the lancer comes to his rescue and tells him he has to give them a job and a reward if he wants help (because GS is so autistic he hasn't even realized that's how the guild work), to which the few that know him are happy to help him, some likely want to accept because it's fucking army so it HAS to be done and most because the guild offer a nice emergency reward.

That attitude has sort of shifted ever since the goblin horde attack, or maybe I've just noticed it less. Other adventurers in the guild seem to at least acknowledge that he's really good at his job now. I think it's weird that he's silver ranked though, since the legendary heroes are considered gold rank adventurers, just one level above.

Goblin Slayer is 20 years old in the main story.

His reputation makes it easy to brush him aside. You have mid rank adventurers shitting on him while he's out, and when he's in the guild he looks like a bum. GS is autistic as fuck so he won't talk unless he's talked to, noobs are unlikely to go near him because everybody made sure to drill in their heads that GS is just some cheap faggot who crept his way into silver rank by doing easy goblin quests and so he rarely gets to pass down his knowledge to others.

Don't forget that if there's less work to exterminate low-ranking monsters (e.g. goblins) there's also less pay for adventurers because there are quests overall. It may be portrayed as absolute shit-tier job, but it's still work and if GS's would-be guild was ever too good at it's job, people could try to kill him for it and humans are smarter than goblins.

He's passively and actively passed on some of his knowledge to fledgling adventurers. Mid-levels generally don't need the type of info he offers because they already have a measure of competency. The only reason a mid-level or higher-level adventurer would seek him out is if they need specialist-level knowledge on goblin slaying.
Newfag adventurers stand to benefit the most from his knowledge, because a fair amount of his goblin-slaying techniques are applicable to other monsters and general personal safety. They're basics (wear a helmet, watch your flanks, use the environment, know your enemy, have backup plans, etc.), but they're essential for surviving when starting out. The guild really ought to bring him into the fold of mentoring novices, because he'd cut their attrition rate to near zero. He's the ultimate tutorial NPC.

Not really.
It is mentioned that they can mate with any kind of female and that they regularly steal lifestock(animals) from the villages before they become numerous enough to attack it.
On top of that they are only truly dangerous if they show up in numbers, a single goblin can be killed by any adult human peasant without any real combat experience.
They are known as one of the lowest kinds of monsters and commonly successful hunted by Porcelain and Obsidian Adventurers, of course sometimes these adventurers also die to Goblins but only if the Goblins are prepared to trick them.
It is mentioned that the only reason the villages around Goblin Slayer have such a problem with Goblins, is because they live in a Frontier Zone and there is no Force that keep them down on a regular basis like in other places.
Goblin Slayer in year one manages to root our an entire nest alone as a rookie, despite bumbling a lot and the only difference from other adventurer rookies he had was that he was trained by an experienced traveler before.
The true danger of Goblins is not their power, but that they are commonly underestimated.

No.927633
Well, I watched the whole anime in a 9 hour timeframe, and I'll check out both the manga and the LN hopefully this month.
I liked the anime, enough to watch it in one sitting. But I disapprove of the meh to poor animation, the generic artstyle, the usage of the really stiff 3DCGI which was at its worth on the protagonist of all things, the goblins weren't all that bad, and the hiccups in the writing.
Another flaw of the artstyle is that it's quite a cutesy moe thing, in a violent anime like this. Maybe just because something is edgy doesn't mean it needs to have an edgy art style, but I don't think this is the art style for the anime.
On the writing, GS was defeated by goblins a few times in the anime (I wasn't counting to give an exact number), but at the same time he's supposed to have been doing this alone very successfully for ages.
Is he boasting a lie? The overall presentation appears to suggest he isn't lying, or at least not claim that he is saying the truth, and given his experience in goblin slaying it appears true that he indeed has a lot of experience in slaying goblins. I think it's more likely the author forgot to line up the truth that he speaks with what happens, or if the LN got it right, then the adaptation failed at this.
When they're in the sewers killing goblins for the second time, he gets smashed by a big one, yet later in the last fight in the anime he claims that if the much more powerful goblin army that was about to attack his farm was in a closed cave he would be able to defeat them alone. Were the sewers just not cavey enough? They aren't caves, but they're almost there. Did his expertise fail him and lead to a claim which was wrong?
Despite these flaws, I think GS is quite a likeable character, which is an impressive feat for someone who mostly says "yeah" "I see" and "goblins?" The excuse the author came up with for having this random adventurer party containing one member of a bunch of races (except for the priestess making 2 humans) was very well written and sets an interesting backdrop for what is going on, which is also introduced from the get go.
This isn't an isekai, but it certainly looks like one, so I'm just going to pretend it's an isekai. Its fantasy setting appears to be drawn straight out of a video game and it has the stereotypical demon lord thing going on. There's a fun twist which I liked, the demon lord was defeated long ago. This has an interesting implication. In the average isekai, the goal is obviously to defeat the demon lord. But here he is already defeated, so you never really know what's going to happen next, even if we have his army standing in for him.
I liked the scene where they discussed the origin of goblins, a lot of bad writers lack the attention to detail to write a world in which the relevant society doesn't know everything, the knowledge always being there somewhere, but here they are trying to guess something their world just doesn't know in quite creative ways.
If the author is reading this and assuming these positive and negative qualities translate to the LN which I haven't read, I suggest taking more time to review the story as it is written, as it seems like the author knows what they're doing but hasn't really spent much time working the kinks.

I don't think the artstyle was too cutesy but I do agree that it's a real shame about the poor animation.
As for the MCs goblin slaying skills it might seem like a cheap excuse but he mostly can't use his usual tactics in these situations. Apparently he usually tries to kill as many gobs as he can by collapsing their lair, flooding it, setting it on fire and so on. He can't do that when they are below the city or fighting on an open field. HEA is also against it.

So you're okay with newfags screwing things up and getting themselves and possibly the rest of their team killed because they wanted to try acting smart?

Unnecessary text removed. Yes, newfags should die. That's how they stop being new. It's how they learn to not fight every monster they come across, as well as what they can't talk to, how to manage their resources, how to maximize profit, how to know the best time to turn back and rest, what supplies to bring, how to use their iron spikes and pole (10ft), when to whip out the flaming oil, how to select spells, and so forth. Molly-coddling them isn't going to make them better players, it's going to make them worse ones. They'll adapt or they'll die.
You can fix bad play by letting actions have consequences. You can't fix bad role-players who justify fucking themselves and the party by saying "well, at least I was acting in character." Those people will never stop being a menace to the table they come to.

You do realize this isn't a literal dnd table, right? They aren't instantly reincarnated as slightly more knowledgeable retards.

My point exactly.

We are talking about an actual D&D table here though. Hypothetical, but actual.

Given that the characters spawned has no knowledge or memories of the other characters who died, you can't really expect them to learn from mistakes unless they survive the self-made problems.
The gods, who incidentally are the players, might tho but the characters are autonomous conscious entities to some extent and as such won't learn unless they get "Divine Inspiration" or survive the encounter.
Well having a crash-course in how to not be a retard would help, but that wouldn't be as funny for the Gods.

Please remember that it's still a game. New players aren't as cautious because there's no real danger. Especially if they've only played vidya before and expect the adventures to be tailored so that their character can go through them without any trouble.
With that said, too much caution isn't fun either. The gazebo is an ancient joke by now but I think the player's actions were caused by his prior killer-GM experiences.

You're forgetting that he said it would be better if there were no goblins at all. Man is on a genocidal mission to rid the world of them. He'll die when they're all dead.

So you're saying if I work at a extremely specific thing for the rest of my life, regardless of how profitable or life-maintaining it its, I can have a harem?

I'm not. I don't know if it was the first one but I've seen it there before but I didn't like it there either. If anything, I liked it even less in Maoyuu. It made sense for the MC and the former party but every name besides them was terrible. Also maou is a dumb bimbo with fake horns.
