In the anime Goblin Slayer, the name says it all. Because the little beasts can become a huge threat if not thoroughly eliminated.

Episodes: 12 (only Season 1)
Stream available on: Aniverse (Amazon Prime Video Channel)
Goblins, while individually not a threat, multiply quickly, raid villages, kill residents, and abduct women if not dealt with swiftly. Most adventurers have no time for goblins and focus on bigger problems – but not the hero, known only as “Goblin Slayer,” because he hunts no other monsters.
A young priestess, who has just joined the adventurer guild, becomes Goblin Slayer’s partner and helps him combat the threat posed by the green monsters. Along the way, she quickly learns why Goblin Slayer is so focused on these creatures and what danger they truly represent…
Why is Goblin Slayer suitable for WoW fans? There is hardly an anime that captures the feeling of a creepy dungeon visit as well as Goblin Slayer. Penetrating a deep lair full of monsters to conquer, using a plethora of tactics and strategies pulled out of one’s hat (or helmet), is found in few other series.
This is garnished with a group of five interesting characters, corresponding to different classes and races, and simply having an intriguing dynamic – some may find themselves reminiscent of ancient dungeon runs from the vanilla version of WoW.
However, one should be aware that Goblin Slayer addresses quite hard and dark themes, which are prominently displayed even in the first episode. It is definitely not a family-friendly series but is clearly aimed at an adult audience.
