I could make a meta argument to call Goblin Slayer an isakai because of the implied gods rolling the dice playing the "game". That being said all the characters are born and raised in that world with in universe backstories. An Isekai anime features someone suddenly finding themselves in another world. Goblin slayer is simply a fantasy anime that smoothly transitions into an old school harem anime. Except the protagonist actually deserves it.
All of these comments are more or less accurate. Goblin Slayer doesn't fall under the Isekai genre, and doesn't have most of the common isekai tropes that oversaturate the genre. You should definitely check out Goblin Slayer Season 1 and the Movie before moving onto the currently airing second season (which is around 8 episodes in or so at time of this comment, for subtitled Japanese releases) The show received a lot of pointless controversy when it first aired, so a lot of content creators didn't react to it when it aired, but like most anime, you should probably watch more than 1 episode before forming an opinion about what genre it is, or whether it is good or not. (but you'll love it if you like stuff like Berserk, which is also not an isekai, and just Dark Fantasy)
Goblin Slayer is awesome. It is loosely based on Dungeon and Dragons, but if you start be warned: There is some graphic shit right out the gate. If you can get past that, you'll find a great fantasy show with a great cast, fun story and some excellent music.
Please, don't pretend Goblin Slayer is not a Dark Fantasy. The dark stuff never goes away, it's just removed or toned down for a general audience later on.
I highly recommend checking out the Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown (Movie) ending theme "Static" by Mili. It's a different vibe from the openings, although it's still dark/depressing. It also has the same classic Mili touch everyone loves.
If You watch isekai anime Watch for fun you don't like it drop it Some isekai are masterpiece like Overlord .That time I Got Reincarnated as a slime .Dead Mouth Death Play. Mushoku tensie jobless reincarnation and many I forget name Some are boleshit
Goblin Slayer is extremely good! It is however very VERY dark, it is arguably one of the darkest anime in its genre (and just a heads up, it's not an Isekai, Isekai means "another world", typically it refers to when someone from "our" world is transported to a fantasy world, but Goblin Slayer isn't that, it's just set in a fantasy world based on Dungeons and Dragons, and everyone is from that world). Goblin Slayer, especially the first episode, does a very VERY good job at making the viewer despise Goblins with a passion that I simply cannot put into words, because there is no word nor any combination of words in existence that can accurately describe how much I hate the Goblins in this show. I highly recommend it.
Iserkai are not all bad, that steriotype has become regular as more and more have been made in recent years. Most of the older isekai are excellent and unique so i'd recomend Re:zero, Konosuba, Mushoku Tensei, or even Overlord. All very good ones
Oh yes, Goblin Killer OST is something very strong and atmospheric..... Thanks to Mili for her hard work. And thanks Julian for this reaction, I hope you listen to the OST "Made In Abyss" one day, especially for the full movie, it's awesome.
Isekai is any show where a character is transported from one world to another, and they have to learn to live in that new world. Reverse isekai is any show where a character from another world comes to our world. Goblin Slayer is not an isekai, because nobody is being transported. This is purely a medieval fantasy anime.
This is easily close to one of my favourite songs from this anime season. However, it's beaten by 1 The Frieren Ending: Anytime Anywhere - Milet It isn't as much of an audio/visual experience (more audio). But the visuals are extremely unique. So probably another one that's good to listen to the anime cut, and also the full song However, it relies much more heavily on exceptional vocals, than instrumentals. Not saying Mili has bad vocals, she doesn't. But that music is much more of a merging of vocals with instrumentals. Whilst Milet is just pure vocals, with instrumentals to support and enhance
The Goblin Slayer season 1 opening is also by Mili, and it's even better. For more Mili greatness, check out Paper Bouquet, the opening to The Executioner And Her Way Of Life.
Well, that's why most people hate on isekai animes. Most of them are pretty bad, generic or forgettable at least... but, there are some very good ones out there. Keep in mind that this is very subjective, but, my favorite isekais (besides Konosuba that is a comedy/parody of isekai) are: -Re-zero, people love to hate the protagonist, but it's a very good example of a belivable character in a fantasy world. This anime is a fantasy isekai anime with some time travel and mistery elements that makes it very enjoyable. Some episodes absolutely crushed my emotions. 9/10 IMO. -Mushoku Tensei has one of the best world building and character development in the genre, with a great and stylish animation that looks classic and beautiful, the battles are very good and some scenes really makes you have the feels. It has some controversial scenes that makes you feel odd ngl, but it's part of the experience. 9/10 again IMO.
I mean to be fair, Subaru was being overly cringe(like a true fashion real world teenager) until Julius knocked his head outta his ass and he slowly transforms into a chad following that.
@@GachaLord We all wanted to beat the crap out of him at those episodes tbh, haha. He had to mature fast in order to overcome his problems. I understand that people droped this anime because the protagonist is not the role model/perfect/overpowered dude that some people wanted to see.
I'd be curious to hear your reaction to BTS. They are a group of 7 from South Korea who are incredibly talented both individually and as a group. They cover a lot of genres, you can't categorize them because they make music from hip hop to ballads, so you're guaranteed to find a style that appeals to anyone. 3 rappers and 4 vocalists, all composers, producers and songwriters. They are known for their deep lyrics and incredible performances. If you feel like giving them a chance, please don't start with their English music, as it was only released during the pandemic to give people a little positive energy. Unfortunately many people judge them by these songs as having a big pop sound, when they are not at all. What I can recommend to start with: Black Swan, Spring Day, Fake Love, Mic Drop, Blood Sweat & Tears, ON (kinetic manifesto film) In any case, please turn on the subtitles because they have very poetic and deep lyrics. And although BTS always say that everyone is free to interpret their music, keep in mind that although many of their songs may at first seem to be about love, they usually always have a deeper message than that. Sorry for the long comment. PS: Sorry for my English, I know it's terrible.:D

Goblin Slayer isn't actually an Isekai, it's a (dark) fantasy anime based on DnD board games! Thanks for the content as always.
yeah ppl these day forget Pure Fantasy now, they just isekai isekai isekai, even make-up new name for just Fantasy as "native isekai"
I mean, WTF.
@@tearaterranean6401 Isekai means another world so basically it's not wrong tho

@@The_Truth_WizardGod bless Darkmaya for the culture. Goblin slayer deserves happiness.
[within] and [Static] by Mili are beautiful songs
Goblin Slayer is NOT an isekai. It's very dark and the first episode really got a lot of people mad because of how dark it is.
...and like I always say, the very same people probably devoured series like Game of Thrones without even blinking....
Yup
@@Skyrage01 yaa bro the sheer irony and i bet many of them were enjoying anime like redo of healer
There's really nothing comparable to Mili. Her voice and style is so unique in the industry.
Mili is the band the singer is Cassie Wei.

Too bad the movie sucks 😔
When I first heard the full version…my reaction was “…wow”
Plz reac salt pepper birds and the thought police
yeah pls
This has so much story-heavy context. Mili is a genius.

Goblin siayer ain't an isekai.
Now Static by Mili.
Great reaction 👌
Epic opening
I loved it 🔥
Also the show is one of my favourites.
4:40 not true there's many good isekai anime out there like rising of the shield hero is a newer one and it's pretty good
The Goblin Slayer season 1 opening is also by Mili, and it's even better.
For more Mili greatness, check out Paper Bouquet, the opening to The Executioner And Her Way Of Life.
And sustain ++ ed of ghost in the Shell Sac
please react to ReZero endings

Goblin Slayer isn't isekai tho ? It is dark fantasy.
@@nameless_moon I'm aware of that, I was just adding to the coment that most people don't like isekai.

Dude best way to describe goblin slayer is that he's the master chief of fantasy anime
Here we go Goblin Slayer......
Finally, a good show to watch among all the overrated ones rn.
日本動畫的歷史很長，從我知道的30幾年前的作品開始，它的多樣性就無法形容，而它的配樂，歌曲也理所當然擁有多樣性，總之，願你能享受的到其中的樂趣！
ok number 1 goblin slayer isn't Isekai and 2 Isekai aren't bad. watch "that time i got reincarnated as a slime" and tell me Isekai is bad.
Most are
@@Valentfred iv seen more fun ones then bad ones and iv watched loads.
I decided to watch season 2 of goblin slayer case of this song, but tbh, anime is disappointing.
the story is still good, at least it's worth watching
@@rubedo1864 Let's be honest, almost nothing happened in 7 ep of this season.
