It could have been a good episode, but it had several severe fails:
- WHY would he attack the champion with hair? As we saw, the champion was completely taken by surprise. Ram any blade into the back of his head and it's done. Sigh
- That manufactured outrage-scene at the very end. Otakus be like 'ololol they ran out of budget, 2 minutes of bird eye!'. Nah, that's a lame attempt at artificially creating an Endless Eight-reaction, to get people talking about it. They could have added lots of interesting scenes, but nah, static bird eye it was. Fuck them.
- So ... GS knew about the high probability of a gas attack. He even prepared for it, but ... he tells his comrades about countermeasures in the last possible moment? That entirely defeats the whole 'this is like a pen and paper rpg' shtick. There was no reason not to tell them beforehand.
- priest girl trying to run up towards the skeleton. I didn't buy that scene at all. She's been with GS long enough by now. Clearly, she knows about the goblins' craftiness. Blindly rushing towards that fake-prisoner makes no sense. No, 'she's just that good hearted' doesn't explain it.
- This is the worst part of the episode, it was so sad that it almost made me cry: elf girl's boobs - or lack thereof. And I'm not talking about about flat-chestedness. No. There was nothing. Nada. Nichts. Niente. Null. Ffs, she was running around bare-chested after the goblins had retreated and NOBODY CARED. Not even her herself! Because there's NOTHING. Flat chests can be cute, but this was flatter than flat. Biggest tragedy in anime since 'I love Emilia'.
So no, it wasn't a good episode. Passing grade it is. Blindfolded naked head priestess was good. Lizard guy fighting was cool. GS fighting was good, except for the hair stuff. That's it.
Oh, I forgot a big negative: So let's get this straight: the hero of a series doesn't die in episode 7. It's Eren all over again. But that's why I hated this way too long scene where nothing happened, just the group becrying their 'fallen' companion. It's wasted time. If you don't kill someone for real, don't spend this much time on it. What's more: If he survives, it makes all these people assholes. Because instead of rushing him to get help, they just sat down and waited. Fantastic! Basically: We had to watch a lengthy non-consequential scene PLUS we'll get a dumb deus-ex-machina regeneration next episode. :/
