Not exactly the type of fan service episode I had expected. Even Goblin Slayer has their "swimsuit" episode..not a beach or water park but a river instead. Seems the girls are getting along very well this season.

I guess this was a type of social episode, with even Goblin Slayer himself joining the fun.

Goblin Slaying? Pft, how about a beach episode instead. Humanity has truly reached its pinnacle.

To head towards the Elven Forest, the Goblin Slayer and his party travel up the river on a raft, only to suddenly be attacked by goblins from above a cliff. After managing to repel the attack and setting up camp at the entrance of the forest, the next morning, an elf appears. He turns out to be a Forest Dweller, the future husband of the elf archer's sister. With his guidance, the party arrives at the majestic Elven village within the forest.

We're treated to some fanservice, nice. I still prefer Guild Girl, but I'd be dishonest if I didn't admit the Cow Girl scene caught my attention. Setting that aside, this arc has just kicked off and it's already three times as nerve-wracking, with the usual party now having to protect two girls. I enjoyed Cow Girl and Guild Girl's reactions, as well as the happiness and pride of heal. Cow Girl will certainly have some interesting stories to share with her descendants. Goblin Slayer isn't the type to leer or touch your clothes like a typical shounen protagonist and I like that about him.

Is it an Elephant? A dinosaur? Well one thing is for certain, it ain't a Goblin.

I also wondering if it's elephant as well LOL even though it's more likely to be the "water stopper" monster that elf brother mention.

This trip is probably the closest thing to the "real adventure" the elf girl always talk about.

The moment someone insult Goblin Slayer will instantly create an opportunity for Goblin Slayer to prove himself. Needless to say that these opportunity are very dangerous for other people.

Well it looks like the Elves are more open minded than they were portrayed to be, the tent part was a bit strange they are all mature enough to resolve the situation without yelling.
Anyway the goblins where not much of a match this time tho the party could not leave their raft.
And Goblin slayer was showing his kind side ones again this time to someone he saved which was nice.

The girls in swimsuits. Nice.

The way Guild Girl put how much can happen in a elf life, truly after a while you stop getting surprised.

I really like how Goblin Slayer remembers everyone that he saves.

A dinosaur that lives as much as an elf.

With this season we get to see Goblin Slayer show more of his emotions/kind side which is awesome.
Good to see that the elves are much more perceptive and willing to be open minded.

Swimsuit episode in goblin slayer? WOAH! Surprising but appreciate it. The girls all looked cute in their swimsuits and watching them having fun was sure fun. Elf girl's sister is beautiful. I thought she'd be a bit rough given how her sister is but she seems like a delicate lady. Also the heck was that at the end, Dinosaur?

When the groom mentioned finishing off the remaining goblins, I half-expected Goblin Slayer to personally thank him (especially after turning to face him)

Behold, the elves' greatest technological contribution: squishy seats!

Also, legit thought that was an elephant at the end before the "face reveal" lmao

Priestess usage of purify to clear the dam sure was smart thinking. Just like GS not to be affected by girls in swimsuits lol. Still nice to be able to relax out in the country. It was cute seeing Guild girl tease Cow girl. But seeing how much GS cares about the well being of others really shows how much he's changed as a person. The talk around the campfire sure was a nice relaxing scene that did well to contrast the earlier battle. That scene where GS comforted the victim/survivor of the gob attack was a touching one. It's nice to see the elder sis show concern for HEA though. Asami seto was the perfect choice to play the sister and Kaito the groom.

The animation for SoL is getting downgraded, I do hope they can fix the frames for BD Release.

Epic battle while they're still in the river. Priestess actually thinks before doing or casting a spell. We can see more growth from her.

The fan service was rather appalling because of the animation. If they can fix or remedy how they executed it in the BD, I certainly would want it.

Then Elf's brother got an eyeful when Goblin Slayer himself has yet to get any... the horror...

This is a fun episode if you can ignore the lack of frames.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

As Goblin Slayer and the party stops the goblins from thwarting their way to the elven village, even with all the weaponry already prepared for came in handy, the goblins still manage to block their path. With Priestess's magic, they're able to use Lizardman's voice to silence the horde of goblins, therefore making their way halfway through the land of the elves. This kind of "fanservice" was not exactly what we had in plan, but even Priestess in her swimsuit looks good, as embrassing as it is and as dangerous as leaving them alone in the case of goblins attacking them out of surprise. To think that Archer would see her older sister and her cousin be wed to one another, it's a joyous moment, though as extravagant as it is understanding how elves romanticize amongst each other.

An elven guard out of nowhere questioning Goblin Slayer and his party about the goblins, he sure seems to fit the bill of the groom being summoned to escort them to the elven village. To be expected, Goblin Slayer's reputation exceeds his presence in the face of both the groom and now Archer's elder sister the bride, though one elf was thankful that he saved her from the ogres. Archer being questioned by her elder sister why she follows Goblin Slayer, and that's for the entertainment and growth that she can find through him, though goblins soon come attacking on the elven village...or rather, a dinosaur being mistaken as an elephant.

What's a dinosaur doing in the elven forest?

It is a shame the animation was a bit clumsy this episode but it was pretty enjoyable, the group spending quality time together, a lot of nice scenes with the girls and what do you know, Goblin Slayer is quite the comedian. You can see how Goblin Slayer has changed, caring for the others and showing how thoughtful he really is, but now I worry that's going to let his guard down one day.

When the rocks were falling, I didn’t think about the Priestess protecting the bunch so I felt kinda stupid when that happened lol, it was still an intense boat ride tho, I’m sure the gang was good on boats for a long time after that lol. And wowzers, that sure was a swimsuit segment huh lol, the waifus in this show are beauties so that was really nice to see even if it doesn’t make much sense in a fantasy setting, let alone Goblin Slayer.

And it was also cool finally seeing the elves’ homeland, it’s about what I expected, pretty traditional for fantasy elves, definitely one of the most vibrant locations in this series so far too. And we met the elf archer’s sister who definitely looks the part, kinda hard to believe they’re related tho based on their personalities but that’s how it is in real life too sometimes, I also really liked their conversation on why the elf archer sticks with the Goblin Slayer. And the episode ended on the elf homeland being attacked by what looked like a brontosaurus, kinda surprised to see that honestly, I also thought it was an elephant at first just like Goblin Slayer lol.

Is that an elephant? What too much goblin slaying does to a mf.

It's always hilarious when even a series like Goblin Slayer manages to squeeze in some swimsuit fanservice in the middle of the season.

The one good thing to come out of the last GoT season was surely the humble "I wanted those elephants" meme and because of that alone this was insanely more funny than it has any right to be.

Also yeah racist elf would you look at that.

We cant just have a normal wedding can we? This is Goblin Slayer, surely there are some goblins to be slaid.

These fun and quirky episodes really throw me off with Goblin Slayer. I feel like it's just waiting for me to let my guard down and then BAM! "DID YOU FORGET WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING?"

I don't mind it at all though. I think delving more into the characters and the world-building is incredibly important too so its cool that we're able to see that. If Goblin Slayer could have it his way he'd just be chilling in caves all day long slaughtering goblins otherwise.

The, "Oh, is that an elephant?" comment killed me. Goblin Slayer literally only knows how to eat, breathe, kill goblins so it's funny how he has this willingness to learn about the world from his comrades, but approaches it almost like a child.

I was not expecting a swimsuit episode in Goblin Slayer but here we are 👍 While the elven city is beautiful I noticed that High Elf's older sister wants her to quit adventuring but maybe she'll have a change of heart once she sees her and the rest of the gang fight off that elephant dinosaur (LOL @ GS' assumption).
