Its surprising, but while Goblin Slayer wasn’t on my watchlist, my interest on the series has grown as time has passed, so, maybe I’ll give it a watch at last. Both Slayers and Record of Lodoss War are on my watchlist! Love the OSR vibe of both.

If you’re fine with something a bit nasty (gore, rape), Goblin Slayer. The very first episode is particularly eeky, it feels like they tried to make it as shocking as possible, but it does stabilize from episode 2 and those nasty moments become occasional rather than main focus. Overall it’s a decent fantasy adventure anime.
If you’re okay with really old anime, there are tons of nice fantasy from 80s and 90s. For example, Record of Lodoss War for a serious one. Or, for an easygoing fantasy comedy with great style, The Slayers; there are many seasons, movies, OVAs, etc; I personally watched them all and don’t regret it, just keep in mind it’s way more silly and unserious than something like Dungeon Meshi, for example, even though it’s also a comedy.

There’s an old saying that every DM wants their D&D campaign to be Record of Lodoss War (serious, dramatic high fantasy), but it always turns out to be Slayers (selfish PCs causing chaos wherever they go, but saving the world when the chips are down).

Haha I hadn’t heard of this but it’s so true! Although personally I love to see a campaign go full Excel Saga ^.^

I don’t think my DM could handle a campaign going Excel Saga. Or me. Or the rest of the group.
