Series in more sentences:
A young man becomes obsessed with hunting down goblins after his village and sister are slaughtered by them, and spends his days waiting for quests involving the simple creatures, earning him little respect from the warriors who fight more important beasts.

After he rescues a beginner from a cave, she decides to stay with him as part of his team. More goblin reports follow and it appears they are becoming more of a threat every day.

The anime earned itself a bad name over all the rape imagery in it, but at the same time, many said it was a good watch. That certainly spiked my interest.

I originally thought the sexual molestation scene from the first episode was a one time thing. I did not expect it to be a character trait of the monsters our heroes are constantly fighting. Seeing girls getting their clothes ripped off is not my idea of entertainment, but I'm more disturbed by the creator's decision to have it be a character trait at all. Like, why?

A curt, serious knight devoted to kill creatures the hero community sees as boring small fry is a great set-up for a story, especially when those creatures prove to be more dangerous than widely assumed. But the goblins' design confuses me.
They are tiny green men -and men only- that don't build anything, but steal, and as some kind of rule kidnap and rape women, whereafter they're eaten or killed. They're described to reproduce quickly as well. How, if there are no female goblins in those nests? Are these human girls birthing their children? How does that work, humans need approximately 9 months to develop an infant, and if these mutants are always born from human beings, how aren't they human by now? How did goblins come to exist if they need another species to give birth to them in the first place?

Also, and it's sad enough that I pondered this, how packed is a goblin that he can make a woman faint of pain? A human is about 4 times their size, if not more. Those little skirts and pants they're wearing didn't show me much.

To turn a monster or villain into a serial rapist is a very lazy way to make the audience dislike them. I would've preferred it if different crimes were assigned to these goblins, there are enough despicable things to come up with that aren't targeted at one group of people. The men didn't get any dicking, after all. Neither did elderly women, so far I understood from the clips being thrown at my face. Only pretty young girls from human-like species were victimized, as if a goblin would be able to recognize female beauty in a species that isn't his own..

..Why am I even thinking about this.

I liked the series and the fighting scenes, but it's not something I'd watch again or suggest to others. Would I watch the next season? Probably so, I'd like to see how the story plans to continue after this solid end. I'd love it if they befriended a good goblin.
