Yes, last two times I've said that Grimgar was breathtaking and beautiful. This episode was no different for that matter, however it may just take things too slow on the wrong parts.
This episode started with Moguzo cooking (is it the 'big and scary but actually gentle guy' cliché?), and after the great OP, what else, Ranta's perverted attempts. Well, not directly, thankfully enough, but concerning the state of their poor clothing. I'll skip on that.
On the next day, their spirits were at an all-time low after the night's problem. That, and days of not being able to slay any goblins. Actually, it was a shame that Haruhiro told us straight up.
And for some reason, this low morale and earnings became the reason for a fanservice (thankfully indirect, nothing too explicit), involving underwear. I won't discuss this. Just... no.
We finally see a turn of luck for our group, where they traveled to an abandoned city and slayed lone goblins. Now, this was a shame that Haruhiro only spoke of, not showed, how they killed stray goblins, one after another. It should have been better if the show showed a bit more action, the development of our heroes' skills.
The rest of the series, again, it took stuff slowly, with nice, relaxing music, and conversations between the characters. This is actually good, to be honest, as we could see more of their character. While the misunderstanding at the beginning of the episode only served to lower morale for the beginning of the episode, Shihoru seemed shier than usual. Let's see where this'll take us. Other than that, we also see Manato's style of leading through Haruhiro's conversation with him.
Again, this episode was a slow one. The presence of fanservice, and how Haruhiro tells, rather show action, made me think, how will this show continue? Where will it focus? I would really like to see more skill development, see our heroes out of this poverty, but is that really the focus? I'll wait next week. Shame if a beautiful show has no story.
