Review of Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown

This was an undertaking. For so long have I put down watching this movie waiting for the “right time”, until it totally faded out of my mind only for me to notice the dust it accumulated over the years on my queue list, but here I am, back for more horrifying Goblin slaying. I'd say it is extremely situational, had I watched this the moment it came out, while the Anime was still fresh and new, I might have hated it way more, for the first 30 to 40 minutes is nothing but recap for the first season, same reused scenes with nothing new to them, thattook probably third of the movie's entire run showing stuff we already know. Normally, you'd release a recap episode that goes prior to watching the movie but no, I guess the material they wanted to cover could not stretch appropriately to movie pacing.

The story at hand follows the continuation of where the Anime left off, so you could say, this is more of a sequel than a spin-off movie, it tackles the legendary party of adventurers that they have been building up since episode one and gives a motive for Goblin Slayer and his parties to get involved. The arc was just another Goblin Slaying/Rescue operation that had the parties o the usual, infiltrate a Goblin nest and hack n' slash until they make it to the boss, only rehashing with nothing new, it feels more like a grinding sided-mission that buys-off time for “something” to happen.

For a movie, the animation was more or so, lackluster, this could have been easily a three episodes sequel and nobody would have complained.
