This is just... boring. It's so watered down it feels almost like a soap opera.
Characters talk really slowly about very menial things. Every time they plan an attack on goblins, it's like they're going on the first quest of their lives - they're discussing the most basic strategies imaginable or pointing out things everyone should know already.
The priestess should be experienced at this point, but is clumsy. Can only cast like 2 spells.
The elf brings a bow to a cramped area and complains that the fights are close quarters. Why not practice using daggers?
Seriously, one of my biggest complaints is that magic is trash. You
...
have an old mage capable of only casting like 4 spells before they're tired. The priestess can only cast "light" twice or so. How is magic not obsolete in favor of carrying a bunch of magic scrolls or gunpowder or something?
Story-wise, everything seems to very slowly build up to "Bam! Goblin Slayer's here out of nowhere to wreak havoc against the goblins" in every arc. Everything else feels like filler for that purpose. It never lives up to the reveal in Episode 1 of the first season.
And once they end up in a battle, they fight for like 10 seconds, then stop to talk for a minute while the horde of goblins waits. Also, the goblins themselves, despite being shown to be very cunning, are extremely stupid in battle. They simply run towards the adventurers pretty much one at a time. They're hardly ever shown to surround the party and *not wait for them to finish talking*. They only attack in groups when the story seems to need "something dangerous" to be happening.
There are lots of these details that just make this a very tedious anime to watch.
