FIRST LOOK: GOBLIN SLAYER

Goblin slayer is a dark fantasy anime from White Fox studio. It follows a young adventurer who has just signed up with the guild and is ready to embark on her adventure. I am not going to say anything more than that and it might seem that it was the worst summary ever but I don't want to give away any spoilers for the first episode whatsoever.

I am going to say this right of the bat, if you have not seen it yet, go ahead and give it a go. Now, of course this is a dark fantasy so it might not be for someone who hates to see anything which is dark themed but for everyone else this is a must watch, atleast with respect to the quality of the first episode. The episode was grim, brutal and edgy (edgy in the good way ), so basically everything that you would want from a dark fantasy anime.

And the first episode was not good just because it had a dark theme, it had tons of other plus points like the structuring. The episode was structured really well, it had some foreshadowing, which I appreciate a lot and also a scene which made you question yours as well as the character's morality, which I appreciate even more. Add a brilliant, blood pumping background score, slick animations and incredible character designs to that and you get a perfectly well rounded first episode.

If you are someone who has not delved into the dark fantasy genre before, then this is a perfect time to do so.

So, overall I absolutely loved the first episode and I hope that everyone gives this one a go and hey if you hate to see brutal stuff, then you can opt to read brutal stuff through the light novel off of which this anime is based on.

Thank you everyone for reading , subscribe to the blog or follow me on twitter @allaboutanimee for updates on whatever I publish in the future. Share the blog if possible and have a nice day.
