Everything is so beautiful, the pacing, the art, the characters.. everything is perfect and spot on.

I swear I love everything about this anime.

Truly anime of the season for me already

Yes. If I have to speak for myself I'd say this is how anime of this kind should be done. Everything is subtle in this show from the characters emotions to the world building. There's nothing explained on the go so it add a touch of mystery and allow the viewer to think about what happened and why. So I don't have the feeling that the anime take me for an idiot. Next is how it looks visually. I can pause the anime on a background scenery and I can contemplate what the artist tried to convey when drawing this. This is mostly charming, but sometimes the emotions from the scenery resonate with the emotions of the characters and the contrast is really pleasing to the eyes. It's not just shiny for the sake of being flamboyant. There's actual substance behind the artistic decisions made during each scenes.

I speak for myself of course. We have different perspective for appreciating art in all its form. According to me this is what I would call good art design.

Not explaining anything about the world your characters live or the power system in play isn't Subtlety it's just shit world building.


Not explaining anything about the characters involved in the plot isn't subtlety it's just shit character building.

Goblin slayer has very little to offer aside from a one-dimensional story about killing goblins. It does what it sets out to do and aspires to do nothing more. And people who know absolutely nothing about proper storytelling or at the very least the show itself. Try to make it out to be something deeper than it is. An edgy show about a guy who wants to kill goblins.
I've surpassed your limit!

That's like just your opinion you know?

I consider things implied as world and character building, but some people don't acknowledge their existence unless it's literally explained in the anime. Shows should avoid using excessive explanation in my opinion. But yeah... some people also seem to dive into the show a bit too much and try to find meaning where there shouldn't always contain it. On the other hand, that's also how art should be consumed: everyone have their own interpretation of the abstract and it should remain like that. Discussion between these different interpretation is what make it interesting because everyone can input their own perspective. That's why anime could never be objectivelu judged.

"That's like just your opinion you know?

Well no it's not my opinion. When you make everything vague, never elaborate on anything and raise more questions than you answer every single chapter that's called shit world building. "Why are the goblins so cruel?" "Why doesn't the guild warn people about the dangers goblins pose?" "Why aren't there any female goblins?" "If there aren't any female goblins how was the first goblin born?" "If they came from the moon how did they reproduce up there?" "Since goblins have clans do hey fight amongst one another?" <When you have this many questions that never get anwsered it's bad world building.

Your opinion is really important to me. But I have yet to watch Goblin Slayer so I cannot discuss that with you for now.

Really? I'm getting very bored with it. I know that some shows are slow burn and prefer subtlety, but so far nothing has grabbed me in this. Maybe I'm just missing something or overlooking it.

What is it that you like about the show besides animation? What makes it a must watch?

I know, right? Even the first minute hit my kokoro. I really like the idea with the magic shop and the analogy between the fading colors and her depression is so wonderful.

Still not a masterpiece but it's great, not enough romance color yet!

It's pretty okay.

The main character is just bland.

It's no where close to being a masterpiece.

No point in arguing.
If the story doesn't explain everything about the world's mechanism in the 1st episode, people say- "sHiTtY WoRlD BuilDiNG Reeeeeeeee"

If the story spoonfeeds everything to its audience, people say- "sO BlAnD, no DePtH aT aLl. BaD aNiMe fOr DumBAssEs".

"Never get answered"
*whispers* Psst... the story is still ongoing you know? Its just the beginning.

And some of us like theorizing about those stuff and discussing them, before its straight out revealed to us.

It's an animation masterpiece, yes.
Story-telling wise it's boring as f.
It tries to avoid having overly-troupey characters... only to ends up having boring ones insstead.

I always thought people preferred spoonfed info in anime. At least that's the impression I got while browsing the top rated anime page.

I also happened to read someone complaining about the lack of explanation in the first few episodes of a mystery anime. I don't know how to react to people sometimes.

Well, not sure if it's a masterpiece or not, but this anime is exactly what I like.
Anime, in my opinion, needs appreciation, not judgement.
