| It's really pissing me off seeing the MC wait till the very last minute before rescuing someone from a situation. It just seems to me like excuses by the writer to have as much suggested rape scenes as possible and he's going to excuse those scenes by having the hero come in on the end so its gonna be like "oh but no rape happened bro, why so mad bro; you must be a closet rapist blahaha". |
| yeah that's my only problem with this, I could kinda understand it the first time because arc didn't know his strength, but after that it should have been obvious he was pretty OP, so he should have just helped. |

| Well, the villains are alpha from the get go. And the MC is a beta. I dont see any other reason why!!! |
| I'm gonna copypaste my other post from different, similiar thread. TL;DR: Those edgy moments are anime only. Here is the transcript of the infamous scene from episode 3 as it happened in source material: So, the child that was tormented in episode 3 was originally an adult woman in source material. Also, after comparing both the episode 1 scene and this one with it's respective manga, I can conclude that the anime definitely upped the lewdness of the show. In the manga the scenes are depicted as horrifying and less focusing on the lewd parts, here it gets more close shot and tends to lingers longer. The guy that is directing this also directed Symphogear and he seemingly loves shock factor involving children. In Symphogear you literally have kids casually being brutally murdered on screen. (season 5 episode 2 still haunts me) |

(season 5 episode 2 still haunts me) This is originally a LN and manga adaptions of Light Novels tend to cut out stuff. So using the Manga as an example is pointless as it's not the original source. |
| Probably it's a running gag in fantasy anime where the characters won't appear till the very last moment of the fight for giving suspense to the scene, honestly don't know why they do that. I mean if it was real life they'll be fucked up in a minute |
| I think it's either to just have lewd scenes or to pump the viewer up for the inevitable. |

Rape has nothing to do with it, first scene he had no idea really who he was or what he was capable of brand new world so obviously being a little cautious. Episode 3 is completely different he was ABOUT to jump into action immediately when things kicked off by the dark elf flew out of the bush ahead of him and was clearly stomping ass. He was respecting her wishes of being told to stay out of it. He ONLY jumped in when the bad guy had taken advantage of the hostage and it wasn't looking likely that she was going to win. Did you watch the episode? lol Careful now, comprehension is a dirty word in these types of thread. |

I think thats the only explanation as long as the girls didnt get raped for real, its still safe, quite barely tho lol |

| Let me address some things since there appear to be some misunderstandings. I bloody love Goblin Slayer firstly, I think its great, the protagonist in it is actually good at his job and not just given ridiculous OP plot powers. The rape scenes to me did not feel forced like it is here, I personally felt the horrendous scenes in Goblin Slayer were very artistic and helped brutalized on how cruel the fantasy world he lived in was. I think the protagonist being cautious narrative does not work considering how OP this guy is. This may be in anime but adding some believability in the reactions of the characters adds to better immersion and thus better enjoyment does it not? Does anyone actually enjoy the trope of the hero waiting till the last minute to do something? If there is a realistic, believable reason for them to do this I am fine with it, here I am not. I like fanservice if it is properly executed (I do like my ecchi afterall) even the rape stuff (no remorse, sometimes need it a lil' rough). However it's just annoying seeing the protagonist seem like he's in a turn-based RPG where the villains have a very long turn to do, I dont like an excessive amount of my time taken for bad fan service. In short: Goblin Slayer>Skull Knight |
| Love how OP answers his question in his original post but still makes a thread about it. |
| Dang son, can't a brother just ponder what other people's opinions are on a topic? |
| I have enough problems with this series, strangely enough this isn't one of them. His overall personality is annoying me and his obsession with the "fantastical" is infuriating. But him coming in the last second, basically means two things: 1st He gets a kick out of his hero complex, or he likes to watch, if you know what I mean. 2nd Me as a fan I get extra fanservice, I'm not turning down free fanservice afterall. |
