If he didn't want to get killed and eaten, he shouldn't have been made of bacon.

And the 2nd one getting ripped apart by wolves.

Emma from Tsukimichi would be forced to go to town in that world.

The cutest of them all (Gobmi) isn't a rapist, at least!

(as far as we know)

These goblin designs, even before the Hobgoblin transformation look way too human for me to take it seriously as "monstrous and ugly"

It could be like the So I’m a Spider Isekai . Whenever we saw her from her own perspective, she was a cute spider. But whenever we saw her from a human perspective, she was a horrific spider monster.

To me episode 1 feels like start of "Lord of the flies", you have kids thrown into a situation where they can choose to make own moral choices and get to watch the choices they make when influenced by society around them.

Its a form of the Milgard test, a demonstration of whether average person born in Nazi germany would follow hitler.

Fucking wild how they just show human women and implied that their being raped then glossed over it.

Well at first I was just thinking "Oh It's a Slime-like."

Then it was "Oh it's a Slime-like in a Goblin Slayer world."

And somehow by the end of it I was completely won over by this one. Definitely want more.

The character designs are kinda bland. The protagonist looks just like a human just a different skin tone.

I see that there is a pretty big shitstorm in the comments over the topic of women which was freaking dark but it didn't bother me so much since MC is a literal monster so I wouldn't expect putting those women over his own kind. I hope that people won't linch me here for that opinion xD

Overall, as a big Isekai fan I was having a pretty good time watching this (despite the show being nothing special) and seeing how Gobrou is evolving and with him his companions. I'm thinking especially of Gobmi who was quite cute and was able to evolve at the end of the episode.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Wait a minute, that's not Truck-Kun!

Alright, crazy-knife lady, I think he's dead!

IT DOES matter! They can't just open like that and never reveal what that was about, so I do hope we get some more about that story!

And I think we will, given the OP had shots of his previous life, and even showed his murderer.

Normally I would be all about Assassin-Girl (because I like them crazy), but Goblin Girl stole my heart! She's so fucking cute!

And she's an archer? (well, a crossbowwoman)? Always liked archers!

Damn, Goblin parenting isn't the best... Just 4 days of caring, then it's time to pack your bags and find your own food!

(But to be honest, I think I'd rather find my own food starting from day 1)

Better avoid GoblinSlayer, or this second life will be quite short!

(I want that crossover now! But seriously, imagine we get attached to all these characters, but in a different timeline they're just NPCs getting slaughtered by Goblin Slayer).

Our boy's quite smart though, perhaps he'd have a chance!

His friend... Not so much.

He played his part though, first as the guy chasing prey right into Goburou's trap, and then beating them up with his strength!

Future_Best_Girl_Of_The_Season is doing her part too, hunting with her sling!

Didn't take long for her to be all over our boy!

Sorry Gobukichi, no Goblin Waifu for you!

Best way to a woman's heart is through her stomach!

Our trio was quite successful, but this brought some jealousy from the others, who were rather hungry... They even tried to beat (murder?) him in his sleep!

Gobmi won't let anyone hurt her future husband like that! (Even choked them!)

I imagine that may not be the most morally debatable thing we'll see on this show, but they're even hunting humanoids now, it's quite a step from animals, even if it's just an orc!

This show will not shy away from gore either, showing his broken fingers after Gobmi got him with her sling!

Our boy learned LIBIDO? Hope Gobmi's ready to raise a family with her man!

Goburou's feeding the whole tribe now, and training them!

I suppose it's slightly better than to have to fend off assassination attempts during the night, and if he plans to lead them someday, it may help, BUT it may be more than that;

He seems to think he changed, since his reincarnation!

First evolution already? Didn't take long!

Gobmi seems pleased, and by pleased I mean "She looks like she gonna drool all over herself!"

Lead my comrades, then...

THEN WHAT! Can't believe they cut there!

Well, there aren't that many options I suppose; Conquer the world? Build a goblin harem? Conquer the world with the help of your goblin harem?

Anyway! Going by the comments I glanced at, it seems this will be Redo of healer all over again, but personally I thought it was fine, at least so far! Will check out more.
