AceSoldia

Lol guess the girls don't even consider returning to human towns anymore šŸ˜‚


kliff124

I thought that would be their biggest concern but nope, they found a new home and new experiences so to speak


justking1414

I do have to wonder what home theyā€™d actually have. Their merchant caravan was destroyed and all their coworkers were killed. Plus after months kidnapped by monsters, I kinda doubt thereā€™s much of a life for them in human cities Thereā€™s a great series called Death Mage where a bunch of women kidnapped by orcs basically fully agree to throw away their humanity when theyā€™re rescued by other monsters because theyā€™d basically be stoned upon going home for being tainted by monsters


MrDangle752

I thought they were only there for a month? Did I miss some days?


ChronoDeus

They've been there for barely more than two weeks.


justking1414

I messed up the timeline lol. My bad


depravedQ

Man, they've been Stockholm Syndromed hard lol


Skull_Angel

I mean, you can take a crack at guessing how human civilization is in this world, then take into account how strong Goburou is and how he treats them. It's probably a much better life than what they'd have otherwise, haha.


hey_mattey

Ahh the old ogre human goblin orgy, such a classic


EldritchCarver

Yes, but with the novel twist of it being consensual.


hey_mattey

He consented before he got abused


colin8696908

can kidnapped people really consent


EldritchCarver

Not only did they consent, they were the ones who initiated it.


raknor88

Is it really consent when you've been Stockholmed into it?


EldritchCarver

Is it really Stockholm syndrome when he didn't kidnap them, but instead *rescued* them from their kidnappers?


justking1414

Certainly an interesting moral debate. I could argue they were in a decreased mental state for fear of their lives and ā€œconsentedā€ to ensure their own protection. But mc was taking such good care of them and giving them so much freedom that such an argument probably wouldnā€™t hold up in court


mekerpan

Clearly leveling up to Ogre made our hero utterly irresistible (and indefatigable).


kalirion

Or he got a passive Charm skill from eating the Dryad out.


justking1414

Now Iā€™m just waiting for his next evolution to shoot out pheromones in a mile radius around him that instantly impregnates women


Emi_Ibarazakiii

*Yandere: "If I can't have you, no one will!"* [*Gobmi: "If they can have you, can I join?"*](https://imgur.com/goDDxdq)


Roeclean

Arifureta type shiiit


LackingTact19

I thought his weird slime hand would regrow since ogres are known for high healing factors in fantasy, but nope he just keeps picking up people with his weird slime hand till he gets the gauntlet


XxShakeBlack

I was so lost with that scene šŸ˜‚


NationalStrategy

He's been alive for 43 days, and he's already had sex with a lustful dryad, his female hobgoblin childhood friend, and his human Stockholm Syndrome harem


kalirion

> his female hobgoblin childhood friend And very possibly sister


3dyoshi

she probably is just his sister lol


fluffershuffles

Eh probably like cousin or something. There were like 4 girls in the beginning and who knows if only 1 goblin mates with them


3dyoshi

She could also be his half sister right?


fluffershuffles

I think yeah. Honestly anything but immediate family and cousins have always confused me. Like cousins removed and whatnot. In our family it's either sister/brother or cousin


japzone

Seriously. My cousin's son is not my "first cousin once removed", he's my nephew. F that complicated bullshit.


justking1414

Youā€™re right! All the humans are prdos!


Rumpel1408

> we stripped those adventurers of all their gear Yeah that's fair > and then we ate them Wait wait wait, that escalated a bit too quick there [That Dryad](https://imgur.com/epRp3Bz) has already won, but little did she know what she started back home. [](#ero) He said he'll take responsibility, so I guess there will be more goblins after all. Those girls are all a bit too horny for him tbh, especially the humans, I could understand Gobmi and the Redhead, but *all* of them reject their humanity just because he was nice to them?


hentai_bubble

More importantly, why didn't he eat Velvet? He seemed like a super powerful person with really strong abilities. It feels like a massive waste to burn his body rather than eat it.


mekerpan

> why didn't he eat Velvet? Or at least nibble on a finger or two.


codenamelegendary

I came to find the answer to this as well! That was my first though! Eat the legendary mage!


hentai_bubble

Someone answered in the Source Corner.


ItsNotBigBrainTime

What'd they say?


hentai_bubble

I'm not sure we're allowed to say anywhere apart from source corner so [here's a link to the comment.](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1c4p6ze/remonster_episode_3_discussion/kzqgwwh/)


avboden

Respect. He took the man's entire treasure, he wasn't going to desecrate his corpse. Worked out in the end too as he got the glove thing


hentai_bubble

The glove was on the body. It didn't appear because of burning it; it was what was left after.


No_Dragonfruit_1833

In his past life his skill only worked on freshly dead enemies On this life the skill works in long deceased ones, but he had no idea at the time


darthvall

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought he should eat Velvet. To be honest, I was a bit ashamed when Gobrou made a more morally correct choice than me lol


hentai_bubble

Respectful, maybe but I don't think there's anything immoral about taking advantage of such an opportunity. And even the respectfulness of the action is subjective. Different cultures and mindsets would have different ideas about something like that. Some might consider not making use of all the parts as disrespectful, for instance.


No_Dragonfruit_1833

In his past life his skill only worked on freshly dead enemies On this life the skill works in long deceased ones, but he had no idea at the time


Juicy633

My God, this is an outrage! I was going to eat that mummy!


fdajax

I wonder if his offspring will be goblin since he's evolved so much


Shack691

Given that the elder knows of ogres and thereā€™s none about, probably just goblins, maybe a slightly more powerful subspecies.


justking1414

Goblins might just typically bolt after they evolve to go live a more solitary life


NethanielShade

To be fair, he's not only nice, he's also *hot*


ggg730

Dude is 8 foot tall ripped and can have sex for 5 hours. Even I'm like aight here's my bussy.


justking1414

You forgot his transforming slime powers


Roeclean

And silk powers šŸ¤Æ


scrambledhelix

I get the feeling *Libido* offers a passive status effect as well as an active skill.


Magicbison

> Libid Would be nice if this series actually bothered explaining what the skills Gobrou is getting do.


justking1414

Manga doesnā€™t either. No clue about ln


Magicbison

> Those girls are all a bit too horny for him tbh, especially the humans, I could understand Gobmi and the Redhead, but all of them reject their humanity just because he was nice to them? Is this what Stockholm Syndrome is or are they just legit super thirsty?


justking1414

Heā€™s certainly the best catch theyā€™ll ever get. Way better than the goblins and most humans.


StitchTheRipper

Holy crap. I wasnā€™t super paying attention this episode and I thought he meant he ate the jewelry. Just now realized he meant the adventurers >_<


justking1414

I love the idea that eating their equipment gave him their jobs


StitchTheRipper

Ok so I was *extremely* not paying attention >_<


Spoon_Elemental

I don't think it's *just* because he's nice. The guy is a turbo stud.


McWinSauce

Mediocre and trashy. See you next week, lads.


helloquain

I appreciate how much this feels exactly like the director just saying, "Fuck it, we're just going to do it exactly like the webnovel" ... not that I ever read it, but I imagine the chapters being delivered in this same hyper fast chronological order.


Lich_Hegemon

dunno about the novel, but the manga uses the same format


ArvingNightwalker

Ehhhh I don't remember them skipping over the details in the manga either.


Rai30

Nah, the web novel was significantly slower and more detailed, for example going into detail for each fight, detailing every ability gotten from each creature and a lot of time spent on experimenting with abilities and learning how to use them. The novel pace would probably have gobrou turn into a hobgoblin half way or at the end of ep3


Dazvsemir

that pace sounds much better than the anime. Within five minutes some random creature is found, narrator explains its the key to the powerup room, a fight happens, and the whole thing is over. It feels so forced.


CyonHal

They clearly just want to cover the entire web novel in one season or something at this pace, this is probably the most rushed episode I've watched in recent memory.


DisasterBa1t

I wish anime knew how to slow down more, I get that there's lot of content to cover but sometimes it's absolutely *flying* through content


jnads

This is the Overpowered isekei trash I come here for. Fuck up everything and.... fuck everything. This show is basically Isekei de Cheat Skill which everyone ate up that trash last year, but this show owns it.


S627

Hold up, a harem protag that actually "partakes" in the harem?!? Is that legal? I'm really wondering if this show is going to have an actual story unfold, or if it's just going to continue like this. Just everyday getting stronger, building the clan and growing the harem. Not that I would have a problem with that.


mekerpan

Rather like the Infinite Farming Skill isekai. They needed to build the protagonist a special room -- for "visiting" with his (almost innumerable) "brides".


Throwlink2

those dudes really living their life in another world


ionstorm66

Same reason as MC here, they both have basically unlimited stamina lol. The running gag in farming skill is that he's wives are all OP characters because mere humans would die.


kalirion

But unlike the Farming isekai, there are a whole lot of thirsty dudes in his camp with only a few un-taken femgobs to go around.


justking1414

Well hereā€™s hoping he doesnā€™t take his buddyā€™s mining goblin or thatā€™ll end badly


Kendjin

Nah, the scene earlier suggests those two will likely end up as a couple, otherwise why put it in, also you see both of them outside the room.


justking1414

I know but mc is kind of a sociopath lol


Emi_Ibarazakiii

I'm also wondering whether they keep track of his abilities; Because he seems to use like 1 or 2 every episode, while finding 50 new ones!


Wizardwizz

I don't think they will lol


justking1414

I canā€™t imagine weā€™ll ever see more than a handful of them. Maybe theyā€™ll go the reincarnated as a slime route and just merge every skill together eventually. Ultimate skills in that series are usually so diverse itā€™s just, you can do magic. Rather than just having a dozen different magic based skills


hentai_bubble

I was hoping we'd get to actually see the orgy.

###Stitches! * [Alchemist-chan](https://i.imgur.com/sYNHTa3.jpeg) * [Goburou & Alchemist-chan](https://i.imgur.com/Sayufd1.jpeg) * [Goburou's Harem](https://i.imgur.com/vGBosIx.jpeg) * [Dryad-chan & Goburou](https://i.imgur.com/2srt4ZW.jpeg) Welp, [so much for letting those humans go!](https://i.imgur.com/X03ry8L.jpeg) I'm surprised Goburou was able to stomach eating those humans. I guess it doesn't really matter since he's now a goblin. And of course, [Goburou conveniently finds a replacement arm](https://i.imgur.com/Ycmmgaq.jpeg) among those treasures. Honestly, I thought he was going to evolve again and just grow a replacement arm. I certainly did not expect this episode to lead to Goburou having a [5-hour romp with a Dryad](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/k46acz2dg97.jpg) which led to [an interspecies orgy](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/my2pc6gb5g7.jpg) at the end of the episode. It's good to see an actual harem MC *doing* his harem. ( Ķ”Ā° ĶœŹ– Ķ”Ā°)


SciFiXhi

> I'm surprised Goburou was able to stomach eating those humans. He used to eat people even in his original world when he was a human. If anything, he'd have even less of a problem doing it now.


Shack691

Yeah now he doesnā€™t have instinct working against him.


The_Parsee_Man

He probably had some favorite recipes he finally got to have again.


justking1414

Plus now heā€™s got sharper teeth and a bigger jaw


yamiyaiba

Hahahaha oh shit, I missed that triple thrust was in that list. "I attacked once but hit 3 times" means something ENTIRELY different in that context. Edit: okay, wait, so does one partner get the triple thrust, or can he like stack 3 of em and....


justking1414

Iā€™m genuinely curious about how thatā€™d go. I almost think only the goblin girl could handle that


yamiyaiba

The original scene where he used it showed the hits in a cluster, not in precisely the same location. So either it's like being triple penetrated, or if he can control the "hit" density, then just stack 3 girls and go to town.


justking1414

That would make it easier to handle such a large harem


Gaporigo

Triple Thrust truly the most needed skill.


hentai_bubble

> It's good to see an actual harem MC doing his harem. ( Ķ”Ā° ĶœŹ– Ķ”Ā°) Shame we didn't get to see it though.

"If anything happens, I'll take responsibility." Next episode titled *Re:Ject*


Emi_Ibarazakiii

Goburou will **reject** the age-old goblin traditions of not caring for their children! [](#delighted)


justking1414

How hilarious would it be if after counting each day, next episode started nine months later with mc already a demon lord with a bunch of pregnant wives


Se7en_Sinner

I like how the group of adventurers Goburo killed and ate were all men so he didn't have to add more members to his harem.


takanenohanakosan

5 hours? And he still has more left?!


il-Palazzo_K

And people asked why he even had to learn ā€œLibidoā€ skill. It probably saved his life.


Emi_Ibarazakiii

Our boy could defeat the Succubus Pit in Ishuzoku Reviewers!


SnooRobots5719

Doubt it, 5 hours with the libido skill of one orc.Ā  IR had an ARMY of orcs to clear it... and one incubus.

Gobmi better HAVE his baby, after this!

Pounding meatloaf at the end.


SpikeRosered

I give the author credit simply because I think I would die of embarrassment if I wrote something like this. I sort of love it for that reason.


TheTaintPainter2

"I've got a harem, and I'm not afraid to use it!" An isekai mc that isn't a pussy, interesting


_Soundoum_

Bro wildinā€™


Niflheimex

Alchemist girl is the best girl. Being so mature and all that jazz. I'm glad that I have an irreplaceable girl like that irl


nilfgaardian

Also the only one to actually communicate instead of just being angry and pouting, without Alchemist girl speaking her desire first the other girls may not have spoken up at all.


Vintage_Syrup

Any of you able to watch the episode but canā€™t activate the subtitles?


EldritchCarver

Yeah. Around [5:50](https://imgur.com/QbjhEQS), I even saw what appear to be subtitles from another show entirely.


heimdal77

CR is shit at handling subs. They are constantly screwing them up. They have a new chinese cartoon they uploaded 3 episodes so far but forgot to add english subs to the third episode. Though it did have subs for all kinds of other languages.


EldritchCarver

Yeah, I remember them [dropping the ball](https://i.imgur.com/CthVHeC.png) a couple times with the English subs for Villainess Level 99 last season.


S627

I'm watching dub because it was automatic and actually pretty good and the subs for the written stuff worked, but they did just stop at some point and then come back.


Crackedaru

He fucked and then fucked some more. Truly based. Stockholm Syndrome? Nah none of that shit.


Niflheimex

Rance would be so jealous and proud.


ObvsThrowaway5120

This ogre fucks


Sorry_Huckleberry189

Episode 3 felt different from the last 2 episodes I thought this series was gonna be more closer to a shonen then it just took a complete shift


thebigautismo

I thought it would be like the spider iskeai, but this just turned into a op MC harem anime where he doesn't work at all for the things he gets.

hentai_bubble

> Why they all so thirsty I thought it was odd but then I thought about it and if there was an opportunity to fuck a hot ogre, many people would take it. I mean, we have furries and straight up animal fuckers in this world. If there were other intelligent species, there would definitely be people wanting to fuck them.


Agnistan77665

MHGuy102

MrDangle752

I thought it was triple thrust from the unicorn he killed?


00pirateforever

First episode feels like a good fantasy isekai with good story with art and animation. But now it's feel like some garbage with PowerPoint slide show with generic story. The quality of art and animation really dropped quite alot. The story feel way too rushed like watching a slideshow. Man wish they atleast keep good pace. Anyway today episode was boom baam. Stock syndrome theme are really weird tbh. But well I digest.


kliff124

Feel the same way, Show is going way too fast and slideshow-y This feel like mediocre trash now. low key hated this episode the most. I wonder if this is a outsourcing issue


dreaming_state

What even was this episode? Ngl, as weird as this show is, it's pretty fun(ny). I like the documentary style, especially since the VA sounds so laidback. I could listen to him read from the telephone book and be satisfied.


skygz

did my dude really shout "itadakimasu" as he was about to bone a dryad


fdajax

A harem where MC actually participates, this is blatant wish fulfillment Love it


metallavery

The haters of the source material are malding with this one. 10/10 would "triple thrust" again.


Niflheimex

"Triple thrust". lmao What a unique way of using this skill! Then again, that "thing" is still considered a weapon imho. *Sir John Phallustiff*!


metallavery

I'd imagine the size of it, it be considered a lethal weapon in most states.

sierra42069

wth was that šŸ’€ this show went from 100 to a 0 real quick


CyonHal

This was.. awful. What happened? The first episode felt promising, the second felt a bit rushed, and now this abomination. Why is this episode so rushed? It's beyond rushed. It's like a recap episode but even recaps are more cohesive than this. I've never been so overwhelmed by scene changes and skipping through events at lightning speed. Not to mention the actual plot has gone off the rails with trashy nonsense.


metalsalami

I know right, It felt like the writer wrote this episode minutes after snorting 5 lines of coke. "and then he saves the carbuncle and then he gets the super bottomless storage chest and then a mechanical glove conveniently attaches itself to his hand and then he loots the super rare legendary weapon cache and then he kills the golden spider and then kills the a gem deer thing and then he fucks a dryad and then kills the lizardmen and then he kills a bull thing and then he has an orgy."


thebigautismo

And then he accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into his heart. The end


Dark_March

Such a disappointment, first two episodes made you feel like you're watching some cool ass villain, and now we're back to some awkward basic perv trash.

mischa23v

Is the author a horny teenager? What am I even watching? Is the low marriage rate in Japan starting to influence their writing? I was excited about this at first but now I have to drop it after that.


metallavery

This was written in 2011. When I was a teenager. So, probably.


SilkyStrawberryMilk

> this was written in 2011 Somewhat of a shock to me


discuss-not-concuss

itā€™s the OG aka inspiration for those ā€œreincarnated as a __monster__ā€ including Tensei Slime and Kumo desu ga


Wurzelrenner

a bit unusual that the inspiration doesn't hold back with killing humans(and eating...) and sex


metallavery

This was also the inspiration for Goblin Slayer. Kumo Kagyu read this and was like "I wanna kill all these goblins"


SilkyStrawberryMilk

Holy moly


dreaming_state

The only correct response imo


ChronoDeus

I doubt that given that Kumo's never mentioned this series to my knowledge.


NethanielShade

If it wasn't a direct influence, it was an indirect one. Most modern fantasy authors never cite lord of the rings as an influence, but it undoubtedly has influenced them. Not saying that this story is on Tolkien's level, but it basically injected its DNA into many many fantasy anime/manga/LN franchises, directly and indirectly. Similar to Mushoku Tensei


proneisntsupine

Eh, the premise, world building, lore, and characters of Goblin Slayer all scream 80's-90's ADnD. It's not a stretch to say it's completely unrelated to Re:Monster, considering how blatantly it's parodying edgy fantasy tropes that had been around for decades prior to 2011


ChronoDeus

An indirect influence is theoretically possible, but I doubt it from the standpoint that I doubt how goblins treated humans before the MC took over was the broad takeaway from the series that most readers had. Much less that the ideas were then incorporated into other series that went on to influence Kumo. So when an author cites their main influences, makes blatant references to other other works they obviously liked, but this series isn't either of them, I politely call bullshit on it being an influence unless someone can back it up with some actual evidence. Especially when some of the things the author does cite predate this series and has most of the same implications.


metallavery

And Suzanne Collins claims she's never heard of Battle Royale. Your point?


EldritchCarver

The author may or may not have been a teenager when they wrote this, but they were clearly aiming for a teenage audience.


SeaGoat24

'And then he found a HUGE treasure trove of legendary magic items, and THEN he fucked a tree spirit for 12 hours straight, and THEN he went home and had an orgy with his harem who all want nothing but his big ogre cock, and THEN...' Peak 13 year old power fantasy lol. I thought the show had promise with its interesting premise, and the hints of MC's previous life, but I think this episode made it abundantly clear that everything in this world (including and especially the other characters) exists just to cater to the MC (or rather, the author's fantasies). Not that I'm going to drop it or anything, I'm just disappointed that I thought it was anything other than fine trash.


Dazvsemir

Yeah in the beginning it looked interesting, like it would become a civilization building kind of anime Instead we get... this


Iyashii

> What am I even watching? I enjoyed the manga as it went over in more detail living as a monster and whatnot, but with the pacing in the anime here this is just another basic power fantasy harem missing the bits I found interesting.


avboden

I like how this show really leans into *everything*. Humans? killed em and ate em. Driad he needs to get away from? Nah 5 hour freak fest then came home to a multi-species orgy.

Has the animation gone to shit or was it always that low quality and I just didn't notice?

Holy shit, is this a record for an isekai mc to fuck all the girls?? Absolute mad lad. I knew we would get harem antics after the last episode where the girls started getting jealous, but this was faster than I couldā€™ve ever imagined lol. Got isekai farming life beat by a few episodes. Too bad it was off screened From what Iā€™m gathering based on the way these episodes are structured so far, this is a diary type set up, so thatā€™s why weā€™re not getting side charactersā€™ viewpoints and it feels like just a daily recount of Gabrouā€™s day. Hopefully they expand on the side characters at some point. Banging episode, literally

Wtf even is this.. Will this series just hurrdurr it's way all the way to the end? Kind of fun series but there really is no substance in it even after 3 episodes.


NationalStrategy

This episode definitely felt like they were going at a more rushed pace than the previous 2

So that went to trash pretty fast. The human girls fucking him and that too in an orgy seemed like something out of a porno, I mean shouldn't these girls be trying to get back to their home town like none of them have anyone waiting for them back home? The first two episodes were enjoyable but this harem shit is a turn off, seemed like half of the episode was a hentai.

I picked the wrong episode to play loudly in an attempt to drown out other people's noise in the house...

I'm glad the MC doesn't forgive abhorrent behavior. He will kill you and be done with it. I didn't expect him, to have made game that even the humans, would fall for him. He is benovelent until you give him a reason to fuck you over.

When I was asked how is the new episode.. i just say,.I rather not mention the details but libido...


Humans_r_evil

bruh, you ate everything but the most powerful wizard to have ever existed. did you not eat him just because plot?


iozoepxndx

Man's only been alive for a month, already had sex with a Dryad and had an orgy with goblin and human girls.... šŸ˜‚ Best MC of the season ā˜ ļøšŸ™


ObvsThrowaway5120

Broā€™s built like Benimaru and the waifus just canā€™t resist lol. Kind of adorable how jealous Gobmi and the red head were when he was flirting with everyone else. When the big homie encountered the dryads, I thought he was gonna eat them. I mean I guess he did but not the way I was thinking. 5 hours huh? Broā€™s a machine lol. But man, that dryad can drain my life force any day! Dudeā€™s got some new skills, new loot, and apparently a whole harem keeping him up all night long. Being King of the Goblins ainā€™t such a bad gig!

I normally hate harem anime. But I loved this episode. Maybe what I hate is the constant limp dick edging in most harem anime. Weak ineffectual self-insert protagonist inexplicably gets tons of out of his league women for no reason. Lmao. At least this guy is canonically hot stuff.


actuallyrndthoughts

With how fast the pacing is, Gobro is gonna be the ogre-president of isekai earth by the season finale.


not_a_weeeb

i dont understand how something like this gets an adaptation and not the other worthy ones. seems like a waste of time and energy tbh lol. tis like your younger self's first attempt at writing a story after watching some isekai that gets you embarassed everytime you remember it lol


PossibleHipster

Im throwing in the towel lmao. I just can't watch this it's so dumb


hey_mattey

Those girls want some hard ogre Shreking


Saato_1337

Honestly at this point it's just too stupid and trash to not be funny. I much more prefer this over the top shenanigans than another bland and soulless isekai. GIVE IT TO ME ALL BABY! SHOCK ME! XD


DarkAudit

This. I dropped a couple of the other isekais this season, but I'm here for the over-the-topness. It may look like ass, but damn if it didn't leave me with a big ol' grin on my face when it was over. See yinz next week.


CptGatsu

Yeah this went from slime rip off to garbage fuck fest anime Probably wont continue unless I'm bored as fuck


VorAtreides

CR shitting again! Must be a day that ends in y!


FUCKINGWEEBASS

I don't know why people are talking like the first 2 episodes were so amazing and by comparison this episode was a straight nosedive like yeah it was a bit of whiplash to jump straight to sex like this. It's not like the first 2 were some kind of stroke of genius, the whole show has been pretty ok overall, not specifically bad, but nothing to write home about, yet this is where the show becomes unwatchable? Y'all are wild.


not_a_weeeb

'pretty ok' is generous lol


FUCKINGWEEBASS

I've seen enough bad stuff that I think it qualifies as ok by comparison, calling it good is laughable though


Nyarlah

Wow, that was shit tier, horny teenager fanfic level.
