Main characters
Although there are many characters in the anime, only two of them are the main ones:
- Priestess – a young 15-year-old girl, joins the novice adventurer Guild to go on her first assignment, which, in her opinion, should have been easy, but in fact almost cost the girl a life.
- Knight (calls himself a Goblin Slayer) – rescues the Priestess from the paws of monsters, a young man who skillfully wields a sword and knows how to deal with goblins, revenge on these creatures for the fact that they have deprived his loved ones.
Interesting Facts
- It is curious that in the anime, no character has his own name – only such as the Priestess, the Slayer, and the like. On the one hand, this is an unexpected feature of this anime, and on the other, in a sense, creates confusion in the perception of the characters.
- The director of the first (and the future of the second) season was Takaharu Ozaki, known to fans in such anime as “Occult Academy” and “Persona 5 the Animation: The Day Breakers”.
- The season 1 was not perceived unequivocally. Critics and viewers liked the storyline with the acquaintance and further development of the relationship of the main characters, but the idea of violence against women, which also slips in some moments of the story, was greatly embarrassed.
