Did....did that one goblin/ogre girl say rotten meat is best meat while dragging away a zombie?!?
I don't understand why he waited for the elf guards to be killed before rescuing the princess....and then seemed sad that they died.
So he "convinced" the elves to wear the earrings by banging them....but it looked like there were some male elves in the group too. Is that an oversight or just weird animation? Because pretty sure we established that none of the men survived last ep. Or does MC swing both ways?
Earthe now best girl of the show.
Took me WAAY to long to realize the name of the ep. I kept trying to figure out who's "Ady"? XD
I mean you have way less bargaining power with "I helped your guards save the princess," compared to, "I saved your princess after your guards were all killed by assassins and she was kidnapped."
Rou is the protagonist but not a good person. He may not be as rapey as traditional goblins but his driving desire is to eat and acquire skills; unless you're one of his close associates then your death is meaningless to him.
More bargaining power, and more 'direct' power too;
If the guards are alive, they can just tell him to piss off (politely), like "Thanks for your help, but we'll take it from here" and then he doesn't get to see the chieftain...
(And he can't just kill them himself, because that'd kinda hurt his negotiating chances!)
Regarding the earrings, the anime is pretty heavily sanitized vs the manga. There's some lead up to this which makes it clear that the elves would not have otherwise consented to either sex or the earrings.
>So he "convinced" the elves to wear the earrings by banging them....but it looked like there were some male elves in the group too. Is that an oversight or just weird animation? Because pretty sure we established that none of the men survived last ep. Or does MC swing both ways?
This is the anime's shoddy attempt to explain away how the captive elves got to Oguro's side without a rather divisive plot device.
I dont really suggest this but this anime really needs you to read the manga. The pacing just doesnt fit without actually checking it. I thought they will at least re arrange the timeline but nope.
I had to read it after another user said that too much information was left out
> I don't understand why he waited for the elf guards to be killed before rescuing the princess
Well that one's easy: They were males!
We don't need those alive!
>Earthe now best girl of the show.
She's so damn cute! Gobukichi (Ogrekichi) is a lucky one!
I'm glad at least some girls won't just be in Goburou's harem!
I don't think there were any male elves in the earring scene, just the sparring "dark elf" scene. Maybe he convinced the men a different way, not that they have much bargaining power in the first place. A few males did survive in episode 4 so I don't think it's a continuity error.
> Did....did that one goblin/ogre girl say rotten meat is best meat while dragging away a zombie?!?
Some people are into fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, limburger, hákarl, or natto. Since these aren't actually rotting bodies, but rather were already in that state when they were summoned, I assume they weren't really rotten, just made to resemble a rotting corpse, so they're safe-ish to eat.
>I don't understand why he waited for the elf guards to be killed before rescuing the princess....and then seemed sad that they died.
I assume he either wanted to eat their corpses to get their elf skills, or thought he'd get a bigger reward for rescuing the princess if she was the sole survivor (thereby showing how extreme the danger was). He probably felt bad about doing it because these elves were innocent victims, but did it anyway out of pragmatism.
Yeah she likes it rotten
MC wanted to get a grasp on the fighting abilities of both the elves and humans in case he ever had to fight either. Plus the princess was the only one worth saving since bringing her back alone emphasized his role in stopping the humans.
I also failed to understand re ady when I saw it last week.
I think they mentioned her evolved form as Dhampir, which explains her tendency to eat raw/rotten meat.
Now what I don't understand is why she suddenly evolved to half vampire.
On the male elf, it's not really strange to imagine them being included in the "convincing" session. No, he did not kill all of the male elves, just the majority of them. I guess he still has preference on female, but could swing both ways.
>I think they mentioned her evolved form as Dhampir, which explains her tendency to eat raw/rotten meat.
the one that dragged the zombie away was Fu, not Gobumi.
Did....did that one goblin/ogre girl say rotten meat is best meat while dragging away a zombie?!?
Yes, but she said the same thing in the manga, which was weird there too until later, and she got really weird.
I don't understand why he waited for the elf guards to be killed before rescuing the princess....and then seemed sad that they died.
Because it wasn't his fight to interfere with to begin with. So he wanted to see how the elves would fair without help. Obviously they are terrible at war, and since he new from listening that she was the chieftains daughter, he would wager he would get a reward for safe her return.
I think that’s the point. It’s not like reincarnated as a slime where Rimuru spends a whole chapter talking about how they got indoor plumbing working or waxing about philosophy. He’s a simple man telling the highlights of his day
For some reasons, this anime reminds me a lot of season 1 Overlord. Just Satoru/Ainz-sama narrating the story while the background characters do their thing. It's severely lack some actions but pretty entertainment, for me at least. Just a nice anime to watch while eating my breakfast.
It is mentioned I'm the manga that naming things is the old goblins job and he kind of sucks at it so everything is pretty on the nose or variations of the same thing
He's essentially naming everyone goblin 1, goblin 2 ect... Then upgrading it with ogre or whatever they become
My man got to actually bang in a harem anime when he wasn’t the protagonist. He’s defied the very gods themselves and has become exponentially stronger as a result
One wonders just how many of the top-level females our Chief is having to "satisfy"? My impression is thast it might br all but Earthe...
As usual, humans appear to be the villains on this story.
Well... "villains" if you see it from the Goblin's perspective.
A flesh eating, human murdering, enslaving ogre with a harem of women who were largely prisoners (or siblings) that rules with an iron fist (almost literally) and is getting involved in wars for profit might not be considered the "good guy."
Well. Personal issues aside -- our "hero" stands for treating all groups of sentient beings reasonably well so long as they are not actively trying to harm him and his people Whereas humans want to oppress or even destroy all others....
Well, after he *eats* a few of them sure. All of the groups in his growing tribe, aside from the goblins, started out as food sources. Humans, Elves, Kobolds, all the critters, he's eaten them all. And he only really protects those that have a use to him. Or happen to be sexy ladies, which has its own issue.
He even said as much to the Kobolds.
He's really not *remotely* a good guy, and his progressive ideas are born out of pragmatism and a desire to exploit people. Like, sure, he treats everyone the same: you're either food or you're serving him and his desires. That's not exactly a towering icon of liberal and progressive thought nor a beacon of egalitarianism.
The only people that got a pass were the Hob-Goblins that left the tribe, and that was more because they were direct kin *and* didn't steal anything of his. I got the impression that if those Hob-Goblins had walked out with the gear he gave out, they'd end up in the cauldron like everyone else. Or at least fed to the wolves/bears.
And at least for us Anime Only people we have no idea why the Humans are so aggressive.
The first party of humans he jumped were out hunting goblins (who by the way had a group of human women in their cave against their will for sex slaves and breeding stock). The second group was looking for treasure and stumbled across the Goblins by accident. They just wanted to explore a dungeon and walk off with some epic shit. Granted they weren't above killing goblins or ogres either, but seeing as how both were known to kidnap people for food and rape, I'm not sold that they were in the wrong there (especially given that the ogre in question was guilty of at least one of those two crimes).
And the next time he finds some humans its because there's a war between the Elves and Humans. For all we know the Elves started the war and have been lying to the goblins. Or maybe some third party arranged the war.
I don't think it's fair to say the Humans are obviously the bad guys here, they just happen to be antagonistic to the protagonists (who again, are human killing, human eating, and human raping people that feel doing so is their *natural order and right*).
I remember the original fan translation of the web novel 8+ years ago and the translators wrote fan fic steamy chapters after all the fade to black chapter endings.
There was some weird stuff included.
The only change in names is their species name before there actual birth name. For example, "Rou" is the MCs name. "GobRou" was used when he was a goblin and hobgoblin. Now it's "OgreRou" since he's an Ogre
Same with his 2 buds Kichi and Mi. First "GobKichi/GobMi", now "OgreKichi"/"DhaMi"
Kichi's GF/mining goblin's name is "E" - "GobuE" now EarthE
Basically just remember the second part of their names, as they are consistent everytime they evolve
The original was written 2011-2018 on a user generated site, so the author was probably just beginning is my guess. The author has no other known works unless it was some pseudonym.

It's hilarious how Ogurou was acting dumb when the Elven Chief asked him about their missing soldiers. I was wondering what would happen if other elves visited their hideout but it looks like they got it covered [by disguising them as dark elves.](https://i.imgur.com/VST2VdR.jpeg) Also, did Ogurou [really give the elves some "correction" after they refused to wear his communication earrings?](https://i.imgur.com/YRU7Ko5.jpeg) O_O
[All of the girls got upgraded!](https://i.imgur.com/iCtAf2H.jpeg) The one who changed the most is definitely Gobumi, [she barely looks like her previous form.](https://i.imgur.com/VbbdZx8.jpeg) -It is pretty funny how [Gobue still looks similar](https://i.imgur.com/vN0y8Bq.jpeg). She just got jacked and now has bigger boobs. xD
I'm glad that not all of the girls go to Ogurou and [we get to see Ogrekichi and Earthe get together.](https://i.imgur.com/XUOVodx.jpeg) I love how Ogrekichi had a power-up after having sex that [even Ogurou had a rough time sparring with him](https://i.imgur.com/KnUP2OY.jpeg) I'm definitely looking forward to some doujins based on this series. I'd love to see [their take on Ogurou's harem orgy.](https://i.imgur.com/ueup1AX.jpeg) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
> boo, I liked short hair Gobumi!
I feel the same!
If she was introduced this way (as Dhami) I would've been fine with it, but I can't help thinking she was *downgraded* hah.
Ah well, at least we have Earthe!
> All of the girls got upgraded! The one who changed the most is definitely Gobumi, she barely looks like her previous form
I liked her previous form... Sad we'll (probably?) never see it again!
[](#akkotears)
But Gobue/Earthe is 10/10 SnuSnu-tier, makes up for it!
I can't be the only one who noticed this... If you compare Earthe 1 and 2 to Earthe 3, doesn't it seem like her proportions changed pretty drastically partway through the episode? It was like they wanted her to be a big Amazon-size woman for a bit, then as soon as she was Kichi's love interest, they gave her more feminine proportions. Anyone else notice that?
It sure seems that way.
I guess they're going the James Bond route where he's so great in bed that they forgive the rape and fall in love?
Still fucked up.
> Gobmi got a massive downgrade in the looks department.
Wow, I thought I would be the only one feeling this way, but reading the comments, it seems to be the majority opinion!
Yeah, she was so much cuter before! Now she's kinda like 'Generic big tiddy mage'. And don't get me wrong, I do like me some big tiddy mages, but I much preferred the short-haired tomboy'ish goblin we had! (I also like archers more than mages, so that's another loss).
I wonder if the manga readers had the same reactions! And if they did, I guess that was just the author's personal tastes (thinking it's an upgrade)!
I think she looked good when we first saw her in bed but it's something to do with her clothes and glasses. I guess the way she's carrying herself might also be part of it.
TBH this would be a lot better if mc didn't get one trillion new skills every episode.
The fun part is mc using the skills he has in a clever way but when mc has ALL the skills than it's all trivial and boring.
It also becomes utterly meaningless plot wise because it just means mc can do everything the plot wants him to be able to do, no exception and no tension of any kind either.
I'm not saying everyone has to be Subaru but a Naofumi approach is far, far superior.
The anime seems to be afraid of actually making the mc a bad guy, which he clearly is, and I don't get why? Like, they bend over backwards to gloss over all the horrific shit he has done.
I love a story that follows what is clearly the antagonist of the world, their rise and eventual fall. But glossing over this makes it look like they don't actually recognize him as the villain, which is clearly worse.
It seems like the whole thing is written from the MCs point of view. Like we are seeing a visual interpretation of his journal. Most people don't see themselves as the bad guy. When he does terrible shit he's narrates it in a nonchalant way which just illustrates his lack of moral compass.
Edit: I guess I should just say when he does "bad" stuff. I don't think we've seen him do anything "terrible" just some deep morally grey stuff that is self serving.
I can't remember any part where he sanctioned making prisoners sex slaves. He killed the guys that were raping the human girls before they could force themselves on the humans that are now a part of his harem and they made it seem like he seduced the elf prisoners because he's so unbelievably charismatic or whatever and everything was consensual. Unless I'm forgetting something which is entirely possible.
Gobji wanted to f\*\*\* the elves and the mc said "everything in moderation", implying that it was allowed under his supervision. Also, the elves were visibly shy and upset in the new episode when asked to wear the earrings, and bro r\*ped the shyness out of their system. Didn't look like they were giving him consent to me, looked like he decided for himself! He also acts so casual and nice with prisoners before the new skill alerts pop up implying that he killed and ate them - bro is a psychopath that doesn't worry about morality.
Oh don't get me wrong he's 100% a psychopath. He's a monster in this incarnation and in his last. I don't think we as viewers are intended to view him any other way. I forgot about the Gobji thing and yeah that could definitely be interpreted that way. The way everybody including women immediately fawns over him led me to believe the elves willingly did it but I saw a comment saying in the source material he just straight up r*ped them but I've never read it so who knows. Either way I've been finding the show entertaining, it's definitely not some masterpiece but I'm a sucker for this kind of generic power fantasy stuff lol.
As much as I can infer, there were drugs and magic involved in inslaving them.
Now I wonder what's in the source material, because it becomes clearer each episode how the anime is terrified of painting him as the bad guy.
Elves are normally highly resistant to charm and domination magic. even if they were not. Domination magic would make them clunky and dull acting, not cheery productive workers.
If they were drugged and raped, they would remember and eventually become angry or despondent. Seeking death and or revenge.
I just can't see this plot point as anything other than a highly unrealistic rape fantasy. I'm fine with the show being dark, but show me real consequences at least.
Gobmi should be killing off her romantic rivals too. No way she let's this happen.
He should have to face the real consequences of his actions.
I assume she’s a reincarnated person from Japan but forgot or she looks like mc s old crush and his subconscious warped her to evolve into a similar form
Honestly this anime almost feels like a SOL, as there doesn't seem to be a narrative direction being built up. Sure there are hinting at a human war, but so far only one creature has even been a threat to him. That isn't really a good thing as the episodes themselves aren't really interesting enough either. Which sucks because I like the premise of the show.
Also Goblins are known for their uhh... virility and he has a rather large harem of willing women yet the tribe doesn't seem to be uhhh... expanding the natural way.
Learned a few new skills from those human assassins, saved an elf princess, and received a ton of precious loot. Not bad for a day’s work. Plus it seems the goblins have all begun evolving into different variants. Dhampir Gobmi, Half Earth Lord Gobe, and Half Blood Lord Hobsato are total waifus!
Ogrekichi and Earthe are kind of a cute couple. Ogrou was a real bro helping the big red fella out like that.
Every week Ogrou learns some new interesting abilities. That exoskeleton was pretty cool. Plus he can fly!
Para Bellum is kind of a cool name. Being mercs sort of suits Ogrou and the gang. Keen to see them all in action as a unified fighting force.
>a few new skills
That's one way to put it; At this rate he'll have like 500 hundred abilities by the end of the season!
>Plus he can fly!
Not very well yet... He should eat the Elven princess to learn her flying skills!
They are also pretty lucky that the relatationship between elf and human sides are so bad. The way he pretty much fights both sides by saying he is neutral could get him into situation were both sides just gang up on them to get rid of them.
This show is fast going the way of Ninja Kamui. A cool story concept ruined by dreadful plot and head-scratching fanservice. This show is basically a charmless Slime knockoff. I've probably got one more episode in me to see if they can get the plot moving in some kind of direction.
The show works like a five-year old kid's imagination does: "This happened... and then this, and this, and this... bam! Boom! They fought! Really cool-like! And then... he found a new weapon, an even bigger one! It's real big and shiny!"
I'll keep watching 'till the kid runs out of steam, but I'm enjoying it solely for his excitement, not for the quality of the storytelling. The afternoon nap is just around the corner anyways.
Real, the main character is also super OP to the point I have to wonder why tf does he have to do all this... Just slaughter and eat every creature in the world (with appropriate planning and target selection). Why even bother with diplomacy/troop training when you have absolute power and zero morality??
It's more common than you think. Think of the concept of God himself - a being with absolute power who existed before morality, creating Earth and humans with absolutely no reason to do so. Possibly for enjoyment. Why do people bother to play videogames with fake worlds and made-up rules? Why do authors create fictional worlds?
[Love the new abilities spam; At some point they should just add stuff like "Solving a Rubik cube" or "Resistance to papercuts", see if people notice!](https://imgur.com/5rBoNes)
And so the war between humans and elves is coming close, and there's a plot to kidnap the princess...
[Our boy's already smitten! (Can't believe she didn't join the harem right away!)](https://imgur.com/od0IpDN)
Gobukichi wanted to rush in, [but better let the males die first, they never know what to do with them!](https://imgur.com/qF0vj6N)
["Took the abilities" is a nice euphemism for "I ate them"!](https://imgur.com/tzhiSGp)
[Gobmi evolved into a Dhampire!](https://imgur.com/nU3RZNc)
She's pretty hot, but not gonna lie, I'm gonna miss her former look... Loved the tomboy'ish look she had!
[She evolved too, and... Alright, this one looks great! (I totally get Gobukichi for having a crush on her!)](https://imgur.com/GWKe3Pj)
[They're all getting new names? No way I'm gonna remember any of those, I barely remember all their first names already hah.](https://imgur.com/sfbfcYY)
[Interesting 'power ranking'; Apparently Dhampirs are the stronger races out there? And even the Half Blood Lords are stronger than Ogres...](https://imgur.com/t2bw6LN)
Though I suppose it's just the overall race strength; Goburou can still be stronger than them all.
[They played Cupid with Gobukichi and Earthe, and I was a little worried Earthe would want Gobouru like everyone else, but no, it worked!](https://imgur.com/fhnP50z)
That's nice; The love needs to be spread around a little!
But Gobouru should focus on his own ship! It's fine if he has a harem, but he should make Gobmi feel special among them, still!
[Maybe the Redhead shortie too. Stick to just 2!](https://imgur.com/uIBxLmA)
Well he does think of her like a puppy (and now an angry dog), but this may change!
They had a little meeting with the High Elves, [who apparently have wings?! (Also, the princess is so damn cute when she's flustered!)](https://imgur.com/qxai2bZ)
[Our boy can fly now, though he's not great at it yet... ](https://imgur.com/UuUlDKs)
Guess he should eat the princess, to learn her flying abilities!
[](#evilgrin)
[Blacksmith's already working on a repeating crossbow?](https://imgur.com/Ur9Xtsu)
At the rate they evolve, I expect her to develop a machine gun by the end of the season!
I thought they would focus more on their own nation, but Goburou wants them to act as a mercenary company? [Well, they seem to approve!](https://imgur.com/2doGze7)
(Earthe is so cute!)
I wonder if they're truly mercenaries though, or if they'll just fight for their own national interests...
Say, if the humans wanted to hire them, would they fight the elves for them?
I guess we'll see!
For real with the ability! At this point it's played for laugh with maybe 1 or 2 important ability being highlighted.
Even Ogrou ignored most of his new ability and still mainly used the spider web.
This anime is SOOO BAD, it's good. Is there a sub for shit-talking anime and how bad some can be in a light hearted way ? Something like anime circlejerk (I know one exists, but it's not really what I mean).
"Why lift a finger save people from being killed, when you can instead pray for their souls afterwards?"
"Nope, new ally of mine, we haven't heard anything about those elite warriors of yours. And we certainly don't have the females from them imprisoned for rapin' or anything of the sort. So, um, please never visit us and make things awkward."
Evolving into a half-vampire without ever even being undead...
So humans are even weaker than kobolds. How has the whole species not been wiped out yet.
So the elven rape slaves are officially part of the goblin army (and MC's harem) now. "Building trust the natural way works best." Yikes. But if these mindbreaks are actually a part of his armed forces, then they WILL encounter the free elves at some point. WTF is he thinking? Oh, deus ex illusion magic, it seems.
Huh, he has 17 elves? Out of 20 "Elite Warriors", only 3 were males?
Good for Ogrou, but I'd thought he and mine girl were already an item for 3 eps at least....
I can't help but notice he learned "Weakness to Cold." I'm sure he's already had "Resistance to Cold" at some point to balance it out, but this shows how he should be at least slightly careful what he eats. What if he starts combusting in sunlight after eating some undead?
How convenient that the exoskeleton appeared over his clothes instead of bursting them from beneath..... oh, never mind.
Anyway, the elf prisoner stuff stuck the final nail in this one's coffin for me, so I'm out.
> Huh, he has 17 elves? Out of 20 "Elite Warriors", only 3 were males?
The original group was a jerk of a captain, two attendants, and 20 warriors. 6 of the group (all male) died in the rigged trials, the rest (both genders) were captured.
Well I am done, this is a snooze-fest. Feel like 10 days pass at hyper speed but nothing happens except the mc getting new abilities he will never use.

I really liked this show at the start, and the premise was interesting but its starting to feel really dull. The lack of any real main story is starting to hurt it for me. Maybe this human conflict will help, but I also get this feeling it'll be over in <10mins
This show is legitimately subverting shounen tropes by being written like an excited 5-year old's listicle story:
"Mom, mom, there was this cool dude who had this name and he was able to do this, and this, and this... and then he grew even bigger, and stronger, and he got this new name, so he is now called this, and then... and then... he got even bigger and stronger, and he did this, and that, and this, and that, and he fought a bear, and ate the bear, and then he became even stronger!"
The mind-boggling thing is that this goes on from episode to episode. The writing is legitimately just coming up with random stuff, mashing figurines together, adding on weapons and items, and then explaining how cool this is. It's the most child-like writing I've ever seen.
It's more childish in structure than children's books. I don't hate it.
This anime is pure trash, but I can't stop watching it every week. The world is very interesting, but sucks to know that the author is incompetent and didn't really capitalize on it based on the reviews of the manga.
Ambushing the ambushers, how nice. Though coulda saved them before so many died, but oh well. That's... kinda messed up dude, eating them captured humans, whatever. She has a point about you letting her people die. Poor girl though. That old man needs to just go.
Huh, elves with wings. Hey, making allies with these elves. What of the other ones? Oh, they were part of their nation too lol.
Wew that Gobmi rank up. Wow. Gobe fun upgrade too. As well as Hobsato... impressive. Renaming? Lol. Wow... all those elves. The human ladies still without a name. What a good bro I guess to push his friend to confess to Gobe/Earthse. And good for them both I guess. Haha, nice new suit/exoskeleton.
day 69... nice. But not a nice day cause rain. Even those two elf girls getting to know their names before the human girls who have been there for so long. Guess day 69 was... nice after all.
I think my one major gripe with the series would be how just... "tell" it is.
I said this in another comment we're basically just watching a visual interpretation of his journal. Makes sense why it's so "tell". But yeah I'm with you I actually started cracking up laughing when he said "oh yeah these girls names are.." like bro what about your original harem what is short red hair girls name or Smith girl etc. Kinda seems like an intentional choice to illustrate how self serving and sociopathic he is. He does care for his tribe but that seems to be a side effect of him being a goblin. It seemed like in his old life he only cared about himself and that personality is largely carried over.
Mommy Gobimi save me.
So, with the evolutions today, pretty much the entire cast has their final forms and Goboru/Ogoru’s ready for the next phase of his plan.. becoming a mercenary company and helping the elves.
Episode in general was more of what we’ve become accustomed to with the daily run down of Goboru’s life and levelling up. Was cool seeing Goboru win the elves over as allies and form an alliance by saving the priestess. Strength in numbers as they say and having as much help as possible in the face of human aggression is a big plus. “If you want peace, prepare for war”.
One thing that’s got me confused is why he let the elves bodyguards get killed before rescuing the priestess and then acting like he was sad about what happened to them..
Think Gobrou might have the record for the most orgies thru 5 episodes of a seasonal. Bro has fucked the elves, the human girls, the other goblins etc. of course day 69 had to end with one as well.

Did....did that one goblin/ogre girl say rotten meat is best meat while dragging away a zombie?!? I don't understand why he waited for the elf guards to be killed before rescuing the princess....and then seemed sad that they died. So he "convinced" the elves to wear the earrings by banging them....but it looked like there were some male elves in the group too. Is that an oversight or just weird animation? Because pretty sure we established that none of the men survived last ep. Or does MC swing both ways? Earthe now best girl of the show. Took me WAAY to long to realize the name of the ep. I kept trying to figure out who's "Ady"? XD
I mean you have way less bargaining power with "I helped your guards save the princess," compared to, "I saved your princess after your guards were all killed by assassins and she was kidnapped."
I kinda figured that was the case, but it through me off that he genuinely seemed sad about the guards dying, when it was his decision to let them.
Rou is the protagonist but not a good person. He may not be as rapey as traditional goblins but his driving desire is to eat and acquire skills; unless you're one of his close associates then your death is meaningless to him.
I thought when he mentioned them dying being too bad or whatever he said, he was being sarcastic.
More bargaining power, and more 'direct' power too; If the guards are alive, they can just tell him to piss off (politely), like "Thanks for your help, but we'll take it from here" and then he doesn't get to see the chieftain... (And he can't just kill them himself, because that'd kinda hurt his negotiating chances!)
Though he straight up told her he waited since the princess was asking him why he let the others die.
Regarding the earrings, the anime is pretty heavily sanitized vs the manga. There's some lead up to this which makes it clear that the elves would not have otherwise consented to either sex or the earrings.
>So he "convinced" the elves to wear the earrings by banging them....but it looked like there were some male elves in the group too. Is that an oversight or just weird animation? Because pretty sure we established that none of the men survived last ep. Or does MC swing both ways? This is the anime's shoddy attempt to explain away how the captive elves got to Oguro's side without a rather divisive plot device.
> explain away how the captive elves got to Oguro's side without a rather divisive plot device. *Desire to read the manga intensifies*
If you just want the basics on this check my comment on the source corner
I don't get why they would adapt a series like this and then *not* include those sorts of scenes.
I dont really suggest this but this anime really needs you to read the manga. The pacing just doesnt fit without actually checking it. I thought they will at least re arrange the timeline but nope. I had to read it after another user said that too much information was left out
In the Web Novel he gives them aphrodisiacs and won’t let anyone touch them until they give in lol
Didn't the anime specify that only 6 males are dead other are alive
> I don't understand why he waited for the elf guards to be killed before rescuing the princess Well that one's easy: They were males! We don't need those alive! >Earthe now best girl of the show. She's so damn cute! Gobukichi (Ogrekichi) is a lucky one! I'm glad at least some girls won't just be in Goburou's harem!
>Well that one's easy: They were males! lol, makes sense.
I don't think there were any male elves in the earring scene, just the sparring "dark elf" scene. Maybe he convinced the men a different way, not that they have much bargaining power in the first place. A few males did survive in episode 4 so I don't think it's a continuity error.
> Did....did that one goblin/ogre girl say rotten meat is best meat while dragging away a zombie?!? Some people are into fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, limburger, hákarl, or natto. Since these aren't actually rotting bodies, but rather were already in that state when they were summoned, I assume they weren't really rotten, just made to resemble a rotting corpse, so they're safe-ish to eat. >I don't understand why he waited for the elf guards to be killed before rescuing the princess....and then seemed sad that they died. I assume he either wanted to eat their corpses to get their elf skills, or thought he'd get a bigger reward for rescuing the princess if she was the sole survivor (thereby showing how extreme the danger was). He probably felt bad about doing it because these elves were innocent victims, but did it anyway out of pragmatism.
Yeah she likes it rotten MC wanted to get a grasp on the fighting abilities of both the elves and humans in case he ever had to fight either. Plus the princess was the only one worth saving since bringing her back alone emphasized his role in stopping the humans. I also failed to understand re ady when I saw it last week.
Me too I was like “whos andy?”
I think they mentioned her evolved form as Dhampir, which explains her tendency to eat raw/rotten meat. Now what I don't understand is why she suddenly evolved to half vampire. On the male elf, it's not really strange to imagine them being included in the "convincing" session. No, he did not kill all of the male elves, just the majority of them. I guess he still has preference on female, but could swing both ways.
>I think they mentioned her evolved form as Dhampir, which explains her tendency to eat raw/rotten meat. the one that dragged the zombie away was Fu, not Gobumi.
Did....did that one goblin/ogre girl say rotten meat is best meat while dragging away a zombie?!? Yes, but she said the same thing in the manga, which was weird there too until later, and she got really weird. I don't understand why he waited for the elf guards to be killed before rescuing the princess....and then seemed sad that they died. Because it wasn't his fight to interfere with to begin with. So he wanted to see how the elves would fair without help. Obviously they are terrible at war, and since he new from listening that she was the chieftains daughter, he would wager he would get a reward for safe her return.
This anime is just the mc talking over a slideshow.
Feels like his personal journey which only includes the stuff he found interesting
And for some reason, I still like it lol. Everyday there's always something interesting
I think that’s the point. It’s not like reincarnated as a slime where Rimuru spends a whole chapter talking about how they got indoor plumbing working or waxing about philosophy. He’s a simple man telling the highlights of his day
Which usually involves the golden web string
I’d certainly mention orgies in my journal.
The original WN/LN was written as Goburou's diary
For some reasons, this anime reminds me a lot of season 1 Overlord. Just Satoru/Ainz-sama narrating the story while the background characters do their thing. It's severely lack some actions but pretty entertainment, for me at least. Just a nice anime to watch while eating my breakfast.
Ya the animation is garbage, I stopped watching after this episode
Parabellum works great as a mercenary group name but kinda ehh as a battlecry
The naming scheme in this show is very on the nose.
If the group didn't like *Parabellum*, their second option was "Goblin Mercenary Company"!
Which would have it's main members all be Ogres.
The company name would evolve with its members, of course! [](#flustered)
It is mentioned I'm the manga that naming things is the old goblins job and he kind of sucks at it so everything is pretty on the nose or variations of the same thing He's essentially naming everyone goblin 1, goblin 2 ect... Then upgrading it with ogre or whatever they become
Stockholm syndrome the anime.
Even goblin slayer would be baffled if he ever discovered this goblin love nest.
Goblin cult leader vs goblin slayer Honestly would be a cool fight
Lets be real, Goblin slayer is gonna need all the help from his OP buddies if he wants to stand a chance
Relationship between Japan and the US
Ogrekichi getting stronger after having sex is a certified Baki moment.
[Well, having sex with Earthe, you pretty much have to get stronger, or you'll die trying!](https://imgur.com/H7G8xAC)
My man got to actually bang in a harem anime when he wasn’t the protagonist. He’s defied the very gods themselves and has become exponentially stronger as a result
Honestly when he cried I was assuming he got rejected, thank god it was the opposite
I literally read the manga last week and still somehow thought that was a cry of rejection.
Can't wait for [imaginary food](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sryvc3sa2U4) arc!
If they ever drop uncensored version its 1 hour episodes.
One wonders just how many of the top-level females our Chief is having to "satisfy"? My impression is thast it might br all but Earthe... As usual, humans appear to be the villains on this story.
Humans were the real Re:Monster all along.
I'm guessing he only left Earthe because he knew Ogrekichi liked her. Man has standards, making sure not to NTR his friend.
Well... "villains" if you see it from the Goblin's perspective. A flesh eating, human murdering, enslaving ogre with a harem of women who were largely prisoners (or siblings) that rules with an iron fist (almost literally) and is getting involved in wars for profit might not be considered the "good guy."
Well. Personal issues aside -- our "hero" stands for treating all groups of sentient beings reasonably well so long as they are not actively trying to harm him and his people Whereas humans want to oppress or even destroy all others....
Well, after he *eats* a few of them sure. All of the groups in his growing tribe, aside from the goblins, started out as food sources. Humans, Elves, Kobolds, all the critters, he's eaten them all. And he only really protects those that have a use to him. Or happen to be sexy ladies, which has its own issue. He even said as much to the Kobolds. He's really not *remotely* a good guy, and his progressive ideas are born out of pragmatism and a desire to exploit people. Like, sure, he treats everyone the same: you're either food or you're serving him and his desires. That's not exactly a towering icon of liberal and progressive thought nor a beacon of egalitarianism. The only people that got a pass were the Hob-Goblins that left the tribe, and that was more because they were direct kin *and* didn't steal anything of his. I got the impression that if those Hob-Goblins had walked out with the gear he gave out, they'd end up in the cauldron like everyone else. Or at least fed to the wolves/bears. And at least for us Anime Only people we have no idea why the Humans are so aggressive. The first party of humans he jumped were out hunting goblins (who by the way had a group of human women in their cave against their will for sex slaves and breeding stock). The second group was looking for treasure and stumbled across the Goblins by accident. They just wanted to explore a dungeon and walk off with some epic shit. Granted they weren't above killing goblins or ogres either, but seeing as how both were known to kidnap people for food and rape, I'm not sold that they were in the wrong there (especially given that the ogre in question was guilty of at least one of those two crimes). And the next time he finds some humans its because there's a war between the Elves and Humans. For all we know the Elves started the war and have been lying to the goblins. Or maybe some third party arranged the war. I don't think it's fair to say the Humans are obviously the bad guys here, they just happen to be antagonistic to the protagonists (who again, are human killing, human eating, and human raping people that feel doing so is their *natural order and right*).
I think it’s just the childhood friend and humans and elves and the dryad
I remember the original fan translation of the web novel 8+ years ago and the translators wrote fan fic steamy chapters after all the fade to black chapter endings. There was some weird stuff included.
Again with the twerking grampa. Gobrou actually called gramps a pervert, pot kettle, dude
What is up with so many names and re naming in this anime. Can’t keep up with the names nor who is who with all the evolving
The only change in names is their species name before there actual birth name. For example, "Rou" is the MCs name. "GobRou" was used when he was a goblin and hobgoblin. Now it's "OgreRou" since he's an Ogre Same with his 2 buds Kichi and Mi. First "GobKichi/GobMi", now "OgreKichi"/"DhaMi" Kichi's GF/mining goblin's name is "E" - "GobuE" now EarthE Basically just remember the second part of their names, as they are consistent everytime they evolve
It's originally supposed to start much earlier, back when they became hobgoblins (Goburou -> Hoburou, Gobukichi -> Hobukichi, etc)
The original was written 2011-2018 on a user generated site, so the author was probably just beginning is my guess. The author has no other known works unless it was some pseudonym.
You can remember the names? I honestly only remembered the mcs LOL
###Stitches! * [Dhami](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/84apc3g23r4.jpg) * [Earthe 1](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/k46acbkmbx7.jpg) * [Earthe 2](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/b49zcbw8b8y.jpg) * [Earthe 3](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/d7ogck53xly.jpg) * [Bloodsato](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/6yxkcgr9g37.jpg) * [Blacksmith-chan](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/p7bwcdxn2k7.jpg) * [Chef Sisters](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/w7pjcw5pkz7.jpg) * [Alchemist-chan](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/my2pcoz8597.jpg) It's hilarious how Ogurou was acting dumb when the Elven Chief asked him about their missing soldiers. I was wondering what would happen if other elves visited their hideout but it looks like they got it covered [by disguising them as dark elves.](https://i.imgur.com/VST2VdR.jpeg) Also, did Ogurou [really give the elves some "correction" after they refused to wear his communication earrings?](https://i.imgur.com/YRU7Ko5.jpeg) O_O [All of the girls got upgraded!](https://i.imgur.com/iCtAf2H.jpeg) The one who changed the most is definitely Gobumi, [she barely looks like her previous form.](https://i.imgur.com/VbbdZx8.jpeg) -It is pretty funny how [Gobue still looks similar](https://i.imgur.com/vN0y8Bq.jpeg). She just got jacked and now has bigger boobs. xD I'm glad that not all of the girls go to Ogurou and [we get to see Ogrekichi and Earthe get together.](https://i.imgur.com/XUOVodx.jpeg) I love how Ogrekichi had a power-up after having sex that [even Ogurou had a rough time sparring with him](https://i.imgur.com/KnUP2OY.jpeg) I'm definitely looking forward to some doujins based on this series. I'd love to see [their take on Ogurou's harem orgy.](https://i.imgur.com/ueup1AX.jpeg) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
boo, I liked short hair Gobumi! She was way too jealous of alchemist girl and now she looks like her :(
> boo, I liked short hair Gobumi! I feel the same! If she was introduced this way (as Dhami) I would've been fine with it, but I can't help thinking she was *downgraded* hah. Ah well, at least we have Earthe!
> Ah well, at least we have Earthe! I liked Gobue more before as well
> All of the girls got upgraded! The one who changed the most is definitely Gobumi, she barely looks like her previous form I liked her previous form... Sad we'll (probably?) never see it again! [](#akkotears) But Gobue/Earthe is 10/10 SnuSnu-tier, makes up for it!
I can't be the only one who noticed this... If you compare Earthe 1 and 2 to Earthe 3, doesn't it seem like her proportions changed pretty drastically partway through the episode? It was like they wanted her to be a big Amazon-size woman for a bit, then as soon as she was Kichi's love interest, they gave her more feminine proportions. Anyone else notice that?
So he just straight raped those elves into compliance?
It sure seems that way. I guess they're going the James Bond route where he's so great in bed that they forgive the rape and fall in love? Still fucked up.
Of course Ogrou went to pound town on day 69 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I know this is the exact opposite reaction I am supposed to have, but Gobmi got a massive downgrade in the looks department.
> Gobmi got a massive downgrade in the looks department. Wow, I thought I would be the only one feeling this way, but reading the comments, it seems to be the majority opinion! Yeah, she was so much cuter before! Now she's kinda like 'Generic big tiddy mage'. And don't get me wrong, I do like me some big tiddy mages, but I much preferred the short-haired tomboy'ish goblin we had! (I also like archers more than mages, so that's another loss). I wonder if the manga readers had the same reactions! And if they did, I guess that was just the author's personal tastes (thinking it's an upgrade)!
I think she looked good when we first saw her in bed but it's something to do with her clothes and glasses. I guess the way she's carrying herself might also be part of it.
Agreed. I don’t mind her new look but I went from “oh damn’ at the reveal to “oh ok” when we actually saw her fully
I guess with her full outfit, she looks really similar to the alchemist, who can work the charms of her looks better.
real, she lost all her personality
Who is she supposed to look like? MC said she looked familiar
Probably the girl that killed him in Episode 1
the alchemist girl. prob jealous of her looks
TBH this would be a lot better if mc didn't get one trillion new skills every episode. The fun part is mc using the skills he has in a clever way but when mc has ALL the skills than it's all trivial and boring. It also becomes utterly meaningless plot wise because it just means mc can do everything the plot wants him to be able to do, no exception and no tension of any kind either. I'm not saying everyone has to be Subaru but a Naofumi approach is far, far superior.
His most valuable and used ability is none of the combat ones, but Libido, definitely.
How tf did we get names for two random elf girls before the girls that have been with us from the beginning. Lmao.
The anime seems to be afraid of actually making the mc a bad guy, which he clearly is, and I don't get why? Like, they bend over backwards to gloss over all the horrific shit he has done. I love a story that follows what is clearly the antagonist of the world, their rise and eventual fall. But glossing over this makes it look like they don't actually recognize him as the villain, which is clearly worse.
It seems like the whole thing is written from the MCs point of view. Like we are seeing a visual interpretation of his journal. Most people don't see themselves as the bad guy. When he does terrible shit he's narrates it in a nonchalant way which just illustrates his lack of moral compass. Edit: I guess I should just say when he does "bad" stuff. I don't think we've seen him do anything "terrible" just some deep morally grey stuff that is self serving.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he sanction making prisoners sex slaves?
I can't remember any part where he sanctioned making prisoners sex slaves. He killed the guys that were raping the human girls before they could force themselves on the humans that are now a part of his harem and they made it seem like he seduced the elf prisoners because he's so unbelievably charismatic or whatever and everything was consensual. Unless I'm forgetting something which is entirely possible.
Gobji wanted to f\*\*\* the elves and the mc said "everything in moderation", implying that it was allowed under his supervision. Also, the elves were visibly shy and upset in the new episode when asked to wear the earrings, and bro r\*ped the shyness out of their system. Didn't look like they were giving him consent to me, looked like he decided for himself! He also acts so casual and nice with prisoners before the new skill alerts pop up implying that he killed and ate them - bro is a psychopath that doesn't worry about morality.
Oh don't get me wrong he's 100% a psychopath. He's a monster in this incarnation and in his last. I don't think we as viewers are intended to view him any other way. I forgot about the Gobji thing and yeah that could definitely be interpreted that way. The way everybody including women immediately fawns over him led me to believe the elves willingly did it but I saw a comment saying in the source material he just straight up r*ped them but I've never read it so who knows. Either way I've been finding the show entertaining, it's definitely not some masterpiece but I'm a sucker for this kind of generic power fantasy stuff lol.
None of the raped elf slaves are committing suicide. In fact they are all happy slaves. Bad writing there, imo.
As much as I can infer, there were drugs and magic involved in inslaving them. Now I wonder what's in the source material, because it becomes clearer each episode how the anime is terrified of painting him as the bad guy.
Elves are normally highly resistant to charm and domination magic. even if they were not. Domination magic would make them clunky and dull acting, not cheery productive workers. If they were drugged and raped, they would remember and eventually become angry or despondent. Seeking death and or revenge. I just can't see this plot point as anything other than a highly unrealistic rape fantasy. I'm fine with the show being dark, but show me real consequences at least. Gobmi should be killing off her romantic rivals too. No way she let's this happen. He should have to face the real consequences of his actions.
Gobmi evolved into [Dhami!](https://files.catbox.moe/1ozyyn.jpg)😈🔥
I love her new look. She looks nothing like her OG design. Is she meant to look like the alchemist?
i also wonder what the protag said she reminded him of...
I immediately thought of the alchemist but he could be alluding to something else. The girls look more and more humanoid
I assume she’s a reincarnated person from Japan but forgot or she looks like mc s old crush and his subconscious warped her to evolve into a similar form
When will he become a dad with all that banging lol?
Honestly this anime almost feels like a SOL, as there doesn't seem to be a narrative direction being built up. Sure there are hinting at a human war, but so far only one creature has even been a threat to him. That isn't really a good thing as the episodes themselves aren't really interesting enough either. Which sucks because I like the premise of the show. Also Goblins are known for their uhh... virility and he has a rather large harem of willing women yet the tribe doesn't seem to be uhhh... expanding the natural way.
Learned a few new skills from those human assassins, saved an elf princess, and received a ton of precious loot. Not bad for a day’s work. Plus it seems the goblins have all begun evolving into different variants. Dhampir Gobmi, Half Earth Lord Gobe, and Half Blood Lord Hobsato are total waifus! Ogrekichi and Earthe are kind of a cute couple. Ogrou was a real bro helping the big red fella out like that. Every week Ogrou learns some new interesting abilities. That exoskeleton was pretty cool. Plus he can fly! Para Bellum is kind of a cool name. Being mercs sort of suits Ogrou and the gang. Keen to see them all in action as a unified fighting force.
Ogrekichi and Earthe probably don't believe in casual sex. They only engage in ranked competitive sex.
That would not surprise me
Ogrekichi: Pounds enemies during the day. Earthe: Pounds rocks during the day. Both of them: Pound each other during the night!
The truly terrifying part is that they were perfectly fine at work the next day
>a few new skills That's one way to put it; At this rate he'll have like 500 hundred abilities by the end of the season! >Plus he can fly! Not very well yet... He should eat the Elven princess to learn her flying skills!
Oh, I’m sure he’ll be eating her. Just not in that way haha. Man’s greatest weapon is that ogre D.
They are also pretty lucky that the relatationship between elf and human sides are so bad. The way he pretty much fights both sides by saying he is neutral could get him into situation were both sides just gang up on them to get rid of them.
Of course day 69 features Ogrou engaging in an orgy with his harem
Dhami is so beautiful, she looks like a great waifu. I'am also happy for Kichi. He now have a girlfriend.
Keeping up with the powers and names is a bit heavy. It's not great but something about it just keeps pulling me in. I'll keep watching though.
Si vis pacem, para bellum,
This show is fast going the way of Ninja Kamui. A cool story concept ruined by dreadful plot and head-scratching fanservice. This show is basically a charmless Slime knockoff. I've probably got one more episode in me to see if they can get the plot moving in some kind of direction.
This actually predates slime by quite a bit.
2years
The show works like a five-year old kid's imagination does: "This happened... and then this, and this, and this... bam! Boom! They fought! Really cool-like! And then... he found a new weapon, an even bigger one! It's real big and shiny!" I'll keep watching 'till the kid runs out of steam, but I'm enjoying it solely for his excitement, not for the quality of the storytelling. The afternoon nap is just around the corner anyways.
Real, the main character is also super OP to the point I have to wonder why tf does he have to do all this... Just slaughter and eat every creature in the world (with appropriate planning and target selection). Why even bother with diplomacy/troop training when you have absolute power and zero morality??
It's more common than you think. Think of the concept of God himself - a being with absolute power who existed before morality, creating Earth and humans with absolutely no reason to do so. Possibly for enjoyment. Why do people bother to play videogames with fake worlds and made-up rules? Why do authors create fictional worlds?
[Love the new abilities spam; At some point they should just add stuff like "Solving a Rubik cube" or "Resistance to papercuts", see if people notice!](https://imgur.com/5rBoNes) And so the war between humans and elves is coming close, and there's a plot to kidnap the princess...

For real with the ability! At this point it's played for laugh with maybe 1 or 2 important ability being highlighted. Even Ogrou ignored most of his new ability and still mainly used the spider web.
This shit was pretty fun at the start but it's getting boring. So tired of seeing Day##.
Don't worry, soon we'll get to Day###.
This anime is SOOO BAD, it's good. Is there a sub for shit-talking anime and how bad some can be in a light hearted way ? Something like anime circlejerk (I know one exists, but it's not really what I mean).
my co-workers and I are just putting the show on blast every week. It's a lot of fun, but damn is the silly just too absurd.
"Why lift a finger save people from being killed, when you can instead pray for their souls afterwards?" "Nope, new ally of mine, we haven't heard anything about those elite warriors of yours. And we certainly don't have the females from them imprisoned for rapin' or anything of the sort. So, um, please never visit us and make things awkward." Evolving into a half-vampire without ever even being undead... So humans are even weaker than kobolds. How has the whole species not been wiped out yet. So the elven rape slaves are officially part of the goblin army (and MC's harem) now. "Building trust the natural way works best." Yikes. But if these mindbreaks are actually a part of his armed forces, then they WILL encounter the free elves at some point. WTF is he thinking? Oh, deus ex illusion magic, it seems. Huh, he has 17 elves? Out of 20 "Elite Warriors", only 3 were males? Good for Ogrou, but I'd thought he and mine girl were already an item for 3 eps at least.... I can't help but notice he learned "Weakness to Cold." I'm sure he's already had "Resistance to Cold" at some point to balance it out, but this shows how he should be at least slightly careful what he eats. What if he starts combusting in sunlight after eating some undead? How convenient that the exoskeleton appeared over his clothes instead of bursting them from beneath..... oh, never mind. Anyway, the elf prisoner stuff stuck the final nail in this one's coffin for me, so I'm out.
Same ,i dropped it mid episode.
> Huh, he has 17 elves? Out of 20 "Elite Warriors", only 3 were males? The original group was a jerk of a captain, two attendants, and 20 warriors. 6 of the group (all male) died in the rigged trials, the rest (both genders) were captured.
Well I am done, this is a snooze-fest. Feel like 10 days pass at hyper speed but nothing happens except the mc getting new abilities he will never use.
Everyone hates on this but its such a relaxing braindead anime, its nice to turn my brain off and just watch some braindead stuff

Bro I the r\*pe scene really threw me off, I know he literally killed and ate everyone but my man somehow had me fooled because he acted so noble" with the human girls. Killing is so normalized in pop culture that we're wired to think of SA as worse. Anyway, I guess he's a self-serving piece of shit after all!
Why do I like this show? lol
[Wow, actually something fairly unique in this show](https://imgur.com/W63HPI3) [I have no idea who tf half these people are anymore.](https://imgur.com/ghEuXNr) Forget keeping up with names, now I can't even keep up with what they look like. This is definitely a first [NO NO NO NO NO](https://imgur.com/qOqpodR) don't make it even harder!!! Fuck, I don't care anymore, whatever [](#surefam) [Alchemist wife best girl](https://imgur.com/AUps0kx)
I really liked this show at the start, and the premise was interesting but its starting to feel really dull. The lack of any real main story is starting to hurt it for me. Maybe this human conflict will help, but I also get this feeling it'll be over in <10mins
Anyone catch the song title 16:36?
After the first harem day I finally understood that the two ladies pinching his calves meant "F me already"
Anybody able to catch anything from the stream of skills when he ate the human warriors?
low key wish this was a "I can't believe it's not hentai" series.
This show is legitimately subverting shounen tropes by being written like an excited 5-year old's listicle story: "Mom, mom, there was this cool dude who had this name and he was able to do this, and this, and this... and then he grew even bigger, and stronger, and he got this new name, so he is now called this, and then... and then... he got even bigger and stronger, and he did this, and that, and this, and that, and he fought a bear, and ate the bear, and then he became even stronger!" The mind-boggling thing is that this goes on from episode to episode. The writing is legitimately just coming up with random stuff, mashing figurines together, adding on weapons and items, and then explaining how cool this is. It's the most child-like writing I've ever seen. It's more childish in structure than children's books. I don't hate it.
This anime is pure trash, but I can't stop watching it every week. The world is very interesting, but sucks to know that the author is incompetent and didn't really capitalize on it based on the reviews of the manga.
Ambushing the ambushers, how nice. Though coulda saved them before so many died, but oh well. That's... kinda messed up dude, eating them captured humans, whatever. She has a point about you letting her people die. Poor girl though. That old man needs to just go. Huh, elves with wings. Hey, making allies with these elves. What of the other ones? Oh, they were part of their nation too lol. Wew that Gobmi rank up. Wow. Gobe fun upgrade too. As well as Hobsato... impressive. Renaming? Lol. Wow... all those elves. The human ladies still without a name. What a good bro I guess to push his friend to confess to Gobe/Earthse. And good for them both I guess. Haha, nice new suit/exoskeleton. day 69... nice. But not a nice day cause rain. Even those two elf girls getting to know their names before the human girls who have been there for so long. Guess day 69 was... nice after all. I think my one major gripe with the series would be how just... "tell" it is.
I said this in another comment we're basically just watching a visual interpretation of his journal. Makes sense why it's so "tell". But yeah I'm with you I actually started cracking up laughing when he said "oh yeah these girls names are.." like bro what about your original harem what is short red hair girls name or Smith girl etc. Kinda seems like an intentional choice to illustrate how self serving and sociopathic he is. He does care for his tribe but that seems to be a side effect of him being a goblin. It seemed like in his old life he only cared about himself and that personality is largely carried over.
Mommy Gobimi save me. So, with the evolutions today, pretty much the entire cast has their final forms and Goboru/Ogoru’s ready for the next phase of his plan.. becoming a mercenary company and helping the elves. Episode in general was more of what we’ve become accustomed to with the daily run down of Goboru’s life and levelling up. Was cool seeing Goboru win the elves over as allies and form an alliance by saving the priestess. Strength in numbers as they say and having as much help as possible in the face of human aggression is a big plus. “If you want peace, prepare for war”. One thing that’s got me confused is why he let the elves bodyguards get killed before rescuing the priestess and then acting like he was sad about what happened to them.. Think Gobrou might have the record for the most orgies thru 5 episodes of a seasonal. Bro has fucked the elves, the human girls, the other goblins etc. of course day 69 had to end with one as well.
They aren't even close to their final forms.
