Good series.
First episode is very NSFW.

Im pretty sure there more parts than just the one episode. And imagine there were some people people that it wasnt as rapey as the manga...

100% Agree.
Anime can be quite deceptive in its contents. I know a lot of people that like to watch Anime with their kids so going into a series can sometimes be a minefield. Just saying "Hey the series is good, make sure to not watch this around kids/at work/on an airplane" is a bit lengthy though.

I saw this several times before it suddenly clicked that that was the goblin slayer. Comedy gold.

Also seems like a reference to the end of Thor 3

This is what is most widely known as a “Tom and Jerry” joke. Character A is about to hurt character B, but Character B turns the table and harms Character A. The “funny” is usually the viewing of the actions taking place. The comic however chose not to show it instead only insinuating that harm is about to be done. What sort of harm is left to our imagination so the better our imagination the funnier the joke will be.

This is still not very funnyand I grew up with Tom and Jerry. Honestly none of this guys comics ever make me laugh but other people seem to like them.

To each their own I guess.

Here are some glasses so you can read what I said👓. I didn’t say it was funny I simply explained the joke using Tom and Jerry because it is widely known show. That doesn’t mean that if you liked Tom and Jerry you should like this. Tom and jerry is a classic cartoon. This is a 4 panel comic strip whith current pop culture characters from different genres mixed together.

Goblin slayer slays goblins. Green Goblin is a goblin. Goblin slayer slays goblins.
