​

Tonight, it's time for some goblin action scenes. Goblin Slayer, eat your heart out.

NOTES: No spoilers, please! And keep things civil!

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Last time: Lucky so-and-so, she's already skipped ahead to The End.

Four episodes in and we FINALLY have our first fight scene. Never have I been SO grateful for one.

Regrow your arm! Regrow your arm! Make his attack be in vain! C'MON, regrow your arm!

Eugeo didn't believe in the heart of the cards enough.

 

[Hypeathon]

When you got a giant Goblin about to slay you, who you gonna call?

or...

 

[Kitschensyngk]

I heard "maybe he's a floodlight."

Aww, they just came to hail you as their new leader!

"Kirito, what are you doing here? And when did you get so sexy all of a sudden?"

Wouldn't he have bled out by now?

Kirito...you must go to the Dagobah system...

And we're back to Kirito the woodcutter.

Maybe go find another tree to chop down? That one doesn't look like it's coming down anytime soon.

King Arthur's once mighty Excalibur, now with a flower decoration and used as a hatchet.

We're gonna keep getting shots of Alice in that bondage gear, aren't we?

The Aincrad style - makes you ridiculously powerful and also gets you laid.

And the tree falls and takes out half the village.

 

[animePWNS]

Should've yelled "Timber!"

 

[Kitschensyngk]

So his calling was to meet Kirito. Maybe he joins his harem after all.

"A boy chopped a tree down! Tonight we feast in celebration!"

Only you could wander alone into a cave and get yourself captured.

I just realized - that guy's name is Gasfut. Why does that make me think of flatulence?

 

[Yojimbo]

That was an unexpected reveal that they feel pain and everything. Another way to up the stakes I suppose.

 

[Radical]

Season 3 episode 4 was pretty cool,

The goblin leader/the goblins, my favorite great minor villains, goblins my favorite mythical monsters.

Kirito helping Eugeo regain his composure was sweet.

Poor Eugeo injured, but he will get stronger further episodes though.

Kirito defeating the goblins and killing the goblin leader was awesome, go Kirito.

Kirito/Eugeo saving Selka was great.

Selka best new girl character, cool of her to heal Eugeo with Kirito's energy was sweet.

Kirito having a vision of a mysterious woman to wait for him/Eugeo atop the Central Cathedrel was a great foreshadowing, the mysterious hot chick will be interesting.

Eugeo wanting to learn swordsman skills to get stronger from Kirito was great.

Eugeo finally cutting down the Demon Tree was cool.

Eugeo's next occupation to become a swordsman was sweet, Eugeo's sweet character development.

Kirito/Eugeo begin their quest to Central save Alice was great, nice cliffhanger.

Several things to comment about concerning this episode. This is the first game Kirito has been in to have blood that I can remember. It's weird that not even GGO has blood despite the fact that bloodless shooters haven't been popular since the early 2000s Medal of Honor games.

We're apparently also going to learn a little about what's going on the real world. The promo implies Asuna doesn't know where Kirito is? It's still weird how he got poisoned by Death Gun and then he's in the game. Maybe next episode can clear things up.

Good timing with the ending of this week's one.

I hope that doesn't mean Death Gun took Kirito's body somewhere.

Still trying to figure out what Death Gun is up to. Why put Kirito in a game instead of just killing him if he did put him in the game? Kirito seems to be distracted from the possibility that Death Gun's running wild and loose in the real world.

Yeah, like is it part of a bigger plan or are they going to say the police showed up and arrested him after the premiere episode? Well, I figured Kirito decided the only way he can log out is to finish the quest of getting Alice back to the village and there's not much he can do about Death Gun -- but yeah, they need a scene of him contemplating that or he looks aloof...
