Goblin Slayer (anime! light novel!)

Isn't the manga localized?

It is. Yen Press simulpubs the latest chapters.

I admit I stopped reading the manga over a year ago, so...heh. XD

It's monthly, so that might be why.

So Goblin's Crown is going out in just five days.

Has Crunchyroll clarified when the damn is getting streamed Stateside? Assuming it doesn't get a limited theatrical release, of course.

I’m hoping it does for theater release but I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t

Yeah, Goblin Slayer is rather niche compared to things like Code Geass and Dragon Ball.

I was glad the Euphonium movie made it.

Also Made in Abyss compilation, so sequel movie should be great

I think Violet Evergarden movie is confirmed to come over if Funimation news is correct

Memoria Freese is going to crossover with Goblin Slayer.

Chapter 44 is out. Goblin Slayer deduces the existence of a goblin paladin, and a flashback to the previous party's attempted siege tactic.

Going to read now.

So, any news on the movie?

How did it perform, when can we expect it to reach foreign waters, stuff like that?

Chapter 45 is out. Not too much happens. A bit on how the noble's party was wiped out, but she got saved by Goblin Slayer's group.

Still don't know why they decided to try for a siege.

To make it a long story short: It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time.

Seriously, either do something to lure them out or just storm the place.

The LN also points out that it was a screwup on her part to not abandon the mission when it became clear things weren't working out.

On another note, it's kind of funny how the way the narrative refers to people via their jobs means that her retiring from adventuring to be a merchant actually changes her name.

Chapter 46 is out. Goblin Slayer is worried about the paladin learning his tricks, and the noble girl insists on coming along. Everyone admits that they have no idea if this is good for her mental health, but they bring her along anyway.

"Unsure about effects on mental health but does it anyways" could well be the theme of the series.

Can’t say for Dwarf and Naga, but GS and Priestess definitely understand the mental state that Noble Girl is in right now, and have agreed to let her come along because otherwise she’d just spiral into despair and survivor’s guilt if she doesn’t get any closure to this.

And this is why therapy was invented.

Speaking of therapy, Doom Slayer could probably relate to Goblin Slayer even more now that Eternal's lore is out know and all that:

Spoilers btw.

Last time I checked GS isn't a stranger from another world that decided to stay in Hell and be its jailkeeper, nor did he get adopted by a bunch of Proud Warrior Race Guy's, and he still has all of his friends. Not to mention that goblins don't threaten to destroy entire worlds, possibly universes. More importantly: Doom Slayer actually has hobbies outside of demon slaying, unlike GS and his single minded obsession with goblin slaying.

If there's any character from any other piece of media that can relate to Goblin Slayer, it's Frank Castle.

.........Touche.

Even so, his way of dealing with the stuff that haunts him is pretty similar. At least he has more than just an AI to accompany him. Though heaven forbid he end up with a fan like this:

Chapter 47 is out. Turns out bringing a traumatized rape survivor into a fortress filled with rapists is a bad idea. Who would have thought?

Did they change it in the manga? 'Cause I remember in the Light Novel she insisted on going.
