Goblin SlayerHe does not let anyone roll the dice.
"I'm not saving the world. I just kill goblins." Rumor has it that, in a certain guild in the middle of nowhere, there is an extraordinary man who has climbed all the way to the Silver rank just by killing goblins. At the same guild, a priestess who's just become a new adventurer has formed her first party... and the man who ends up rescuing that party when they get into trouble is none other than the Goblin Slayer.

Goblin Slayer *(No Japanese English spelling available, yet)* is basically Batman-- No, scratch that. He's the Punisher (of goblins) in a suit of armor. Taken place in a medevil setting where all manner of supernatural creatures exists, both feral and civilized, the story is centered around a young adventurer knight who has dedicated his career solely to eliminating goblins. He knows their tactics, their capability for chaos, and recognizes the need to rid the world of their existence. Like any who show so much dedication, his drive is fueled by witnessing the horrid death of his older sister at the hands of goblins, and recalling how adventurers at the local guild dismissed the goblin threat, at the time, as inconsequential. Now he will quest alone if he has to bringing nothing but the most brutal and quick death to the green menace. No monologues. No raving. Just the absolute certainty that the goblin problem will be eliminated should he become aware of it. I like Goblin Slayer. You could feel the gravitas of his convicton, even when other adventures laugh and make fun of his single-minded choice in accepting only goblin related jobs posted on the message board. Despite, the light mockery, none can question his work ethic. He gets the respect due. And when the time comes, many answer his call when a goblin horde threatens the place calls home. The violence is top tier. The fan service, such as it is, passes admirably. And the story and action are solidly written. As far as I can tell, there is a second season and one OVA(?) to this title. The series is a good watch. Hope you enjoy it, in all it's iterations, as much has I did. -- Bob --
