Watched both SAO and goblin slayer. SAO was decent exposition but nothing really happened this episode. It's nice to hear about how the first arc of SAO actually worked out behind the scenes (aka where the guy running it was and how it wasn't shut down earlier even if it makes no sense). It seems like the budget for whats happening and the plan overall from the "villain?" is a bit nonsense. Like, it'd never go down that way.

Goblin slayer was good. I feel the pacing was a bit poor in episodes 2-4 but the last 2 have done well with it IMO. I feel a little cheated though. In the first episode it seemed like goblins posed some level of threat to goblin slayer that he would need tactics. In this episode he is just gliding through them like they are nothing. I also continue to feel like the excuses for the army not intervening are increasingly bullshit. This is a major city security issue and safety issue that could very well cause the collapse of a major city and supposedly worked its way through all the city adventurers but nah, not high enough tier enemies, army/guard won't do shit.

Also confused as to why the sword maiden being some supreme demon king slaying hero doesn't just go slaughter the goblins herself but who knows, maybe her blindness? only happened after the fight and now she is powerless? Idk.

I assume they'll put what they skipped right after this quest is over. No idea why they decided to change the order from the manga though. They skipped a whole quest btw. Guessing the end of the quest they skipped will be the end of the show. Hopefully they do a second season, but they're going to have to wait a while, since I'm on chapter 23 of 29 and I'm not done with the current quest they started in the anime this ep.

Isn't this based of the light novels and not the manga (although IIRC they are quite similar)? Perhaps there is more there?
