Goblin Slayer has since spawned a movie spinoff with Goblin's Crown, but while a second season is on the way, there's no confirmed airdate for it yet. Despite this, the series has proven very popular since it debuted and was one of Crunchyroll's most-streamed shows in 2018. The priestess' very first quest in Goblin Slayer's opening episode ends up being a horrific massacre that also became infamous for its use of sexual assault. While on the surface Goblin Slayer looks like something of a standard fantasy anime with all the tropes and character types that entails, it's clear from the first episode it's something darker. The fantasy show follows a priestess who joins up with the titular character, who has made it his mission in life to kill as many goblins as possible. Goblin Slayer is a popular anime series based on the light novel series by Kumo Kagyu and Noboru Kannatsuki. Here's how Goblin Slayer connects to the 2016 video game reboot of Doom.
