may i know where the plot is heading?
other than the shock factor (or shiok factor, depanding on how you look at it) there doesn't seem like much is going on in this animu.
very bland, one dimensional and serious protag. killing the same dumb enemy only noobs having trouble with. a bit preachy with the whole morality of the MC hunting goblins and not hunting fame thing. very fanservice-y.
also what's up with the MC never taking off his battle gear? he reminds me of an mmo character farming loot for a quest or something.
also is the MC the childhood friend of the busty cowgirl?
hmm, since you asked... (heavy spoilers ahoy)

Goblin Slayer (GS) once lived in a small village together with cowgirl. During their childhood they made the promise to go to the city. One day, a relative of cowgirl brought her to the city. It was during this time that the village came under attack by goblins. GS's elder sister made him hide in a cabinet. He was forced to watch as his sister was raped and mutilated by goblins. His whole village was massacred and burnt down in a single night, leaving him the only survivor. Later on in the series, it was revealed that he survived only because he was saved by a Rhea, and it was this Rhea who made him into the GS we know.
GS, together with his party (a priestess, an elf, a dwarf and a lizardman) get inadvertently embroiled in various conflict, despite his desire being only to annihilate goblins. It is during these various fights that we learn that even though GS says he only cares about killing goblins, he actually cares a lot about his companions, and will stop at nothing to save them. (The running joke in the series is that he is socially awkward and lacks common sense at all times, though.)
By the way, the goblins in the series are not dumb. In fact, they can learn the usage of various tools and weapons, and will even imitate human battle tactics, deception etc.
