Phobophilia posted:In that case, Lifeless King would sound cooler. The light novel translations go for Deathless King. On the goblins being murdered. The ones in the ruins are the outcasts of Goblin society kicked out for some reason. The ruins are the old city, the fortified and maintained part of the town is were all the big shot gobs hang out. Though the Goblins have started fortifying the old city as well and covered the area in patrols. It's the reason the party does not go there anymore. Slime posted:They're basically murdering goblins and kobolds for their weapons, jewelry, money, and sometimes body parts. It's possible there's some sort of bounty system too, where if they can prove they got a kill they get some sort of payment. There is a bounty system as well for notable monsters. Dead Spots has a 30 Gold bounty.

All the depressed hobo goblins are noted as being gone likely having been chased out. As Haru was able tell the difference between the Goblins from the city and the exiles. (Namely that all the exiles had a slight look of depression, even the elite hobgoblin and his gang. While the city goblins has a focused and organized look.)

Well the existence of a militarized goblin society puts things in a slightly different perspective. The whole "go exterminate green skins" deal could also be a response to the goblins becoming hostile. I dunno what the history of human-goblin relations is in grimgar. I mean murdering outcast goblin hobos who specifically are not part of the militarized goblin society still isn't right but it'd help the humans not seem like total assholes Isn't there an actual human army who's job is to get rid of the goblins and kobolds, but they're grabbing teenagers to draft into the "volunteer" army because the actual army is off fighting something? I wonder who/what they're fighting

A shame we did not get to see Renji and his party in action because they skipped a scene to go to Dead Spot. Before the part were Ranta gets separated and they fight Dead Spot. The town is invaded by Orcs. Haru ends up running away from one and encountering Renji's group. Right as more orcs pour into the town along with their leader. The Orc leader is capable of speaking the human tounge and announces his presence. So Renji challenges the Orc boss to a duel under the condition that if he wins the orcs bail. Renji goes through a hard duel with the Orc boss and after a feint at the end kills him and claims the Orc boss' weapon and sends the rest of the Orcs packing due to his victory. Something that shows Haru the major differences between them.

Not sure how to feel about this ending. Ranta somehow escapes being surrounded with the stairs collapsed, offsceen, and Haruhiro randomly kills Date Spots by himself with a super critical hit. For a show with themes of teamwork and knowing your weaknesses, it all seems a bit contrived just to create a happy ending.

It's form changes and it becomes more obedient Ranta is currently in the 60 or so vice catagory and I can't remember how many more he needs for Zodiaco to rank up. For now all the demon can do is inform Ranta when unknown enemies are coming closer and to wispier into enemies ears to distract them and lower their guard, however they will only be done if the Demon feels like it at the moment.

So, is there more the LN (manga?) past what the Anime has shown so far? Like, this setting and premise has a lot of potential, but holy fuckkk did it ever drag. Only the last 2 episodes had anything close to palatable pacing. At least the show looked brilliant enough to keep my mind off the molasses-like pacing through the earlier bits.

there are more volumes of the LN, yes. i don't feel like the slow pacing is something the anime would just create on its own though, and maybe it's not the series for you if you didn't like that.

The anime deliberately cultivated a slower pace and a false sense of lightheartedness. I'd never describe the novels as "slice of life", for example. I'm also kinda annoyed they skipped the orc invasion before the party goes the to Cyrene mines. That chapter actually accomplished a few different things. The anime covered the first 2 volumes. Vol 3 is being translated now, vol 8 is out in japan. I recommend you read v2 ch1 (orc invasion), and then just skip to volume 3.

It's very clear in the LN that she does not have nukes. All of her magic is based around disabling rather then damage. filthychimp posted:The anime deliberately cultivated a slower pace and a false sense of lightheartedness.

I assume, given how damage-light her arsenal is, that they just stun and knock back enemies rather than seriously hurting them. Good way to make some space for your party.

Cool anime. Somewhat lame finale.  I didn't like Death Spot's death at all. I expected it to be a super critical, and actually, it was even more metal than that - Haru (inadvertently) kicked his arm down as well, and he fell on his own sword  Unfortunately, I couldn't see poo poo, and instead, we got Haru floating in the anime void, a lot of missing frames and filters, and done. Not to mention that the timing for the whole fight is kinda bad, too. First, they dissolve all the tension; then, they just drop a boss fight in their way, oh poo poo things are ramping up again, this is gonna be a close o- oh wait, it's done. Huh. And this might just be me, but Death Spots didn't seem nearly as intimidating as last episode. He felt much heavier in his last appearance... Dunno. I'm disappointed.Also, cutting that Orc invasion arc, which I'm only hearing about now, is really distressing, would've loved seeing that. Maybe we'll get it in the future. Overall, this feels like a stopping point rather than any kind of ending. Nonetheless, I want more. If only to see that Orc invasion arc! Good show, final episode not really deserving of being any kind of finale, I want season 2.

I enjoyed it all, apart from the way the animation seemed to bug out a bit during the fight. Didn't mind the super crit so much, since it was kind of set up with the arrow hit earlier, and seemed like a reasonable check mate. The first volume of the BDs is out and sold 4200 units, which is a bit below the mythical "season 2 line" of 5000. For comparison, KonoSuba v1 sold 9500 copies. The light novels got a boost from the anime broadcast, with total series numbers over the past months being: January: KonoSuba - 216,248 books Grimar - 86,614 books February: KonoSuba - 142,766 books Grimgar - 53,339 books March week 1: KonoSuba - 51,057 books Grimgar - 21,830 books March week 2: KonoSuba - 52,476 books Grimgar - 18,905 books March week 3: KonoSuba - 49,524 books Grimgar - 16,292 books Sums up to nearly 200k light novel volumes sold for Grimgar, which doesn't seem bad. Hopefully it'll get us a second season.

For a show with themes of teamwork and knowing your weaknesses, it all seems a bit contrived just to create a happy ending. Eh, it's better than the alternative of the party working together and killing Deathspot. It had been established that Deathspot is WAY stronger than anything their party would have a hope of defeating (even most of the veteran parties couldn't handle him, thus him still being alive), so Haruhiro's line ability is the only thing that makes defeating him remotely possible. And in the LNs Haruhiro has a bunch of introspection about how incredibly lucky he was and how (as his teacher mentioned) he can't rely on the line ability. I forget if this was in the show, but in the LNs there was also a period where he tried to "train" the line ability but completely failed to figure out any way to make it appear at will. Regarding Ranta, they left a bunch of stuff out from the LNs where he basically spends most of his time hiding among a bunch of those pig-worm things and lucks into running into the party when he tries moving more and alerts a bunch of nearby Kobolds. Overall his temporary survival was pretty believable and the only part that was just hugely lucky was the party encountering him in time to save him.

A significant portion (though not, it should be stressed, a majority - there's also kids' stuff like Youkai Watch, which has a far more sane and recognisable business model) of the anime industry depends on selling to a tiny audience with astronomically deep pockets. Yes, it is a strange and alarming way to do business that can end up massively distorting the product and narrowing its appeal, why do you ask?
