In AnimeJapan 2018, coming TV anime Goblin Slayer (ゴブリンスレイヤー) shares with fans the first trailer, which does not reveal much about the story but only a bit of staff information.
Goblin Slayer is originally a manga series by Kumo Kagyu (蝸牛くも). The plot follows a silver-ranked adventurer who rises to the top solely by killing Goblins which feast on humans and rape women. He is then commonly called the Gobin Slayer. The manga is controversial in that it contains explicit gore scences and sexual depictions.
