Why Veeky Forums love this guy

Why Veeky Forums love this guy

Because he's too bare-bones to hate.

Personally I've seen more vitriol for Goblin Slayer recently than love. I like Goblin Slayer but the tonal disparity drags it down. It can't seem to decide whether it wants to be grimdark or more stereotypical Japanese fantasy. So the viewer just gets stuck in its terrible limbo. Other than that its not bad though.

It's meh.
Veeky Forums's current waifu is Made in Abyss due to last season's anime

Veeky Forums hates goblin slayer the comic but loves goblin slayer the character.

That is because Goblin Slayer the comic is a disjointed, messy, self masturbatory exercise in tropes subverted for their own sake and senseless grim dark tragedy still somehow tied to harem anime bullshit tropes and disgusting wapanese nonsense. The universe makes no sense and it doesn't know if it's satirical or takes itself seriously, it dearly wants to be Berserk with gratuitous violence and suffering and rape but also plays with RPG and MMO tropes and features an autistic protagonist all the cute girls want to dick-top despite being a monster.

However, Veeky Forums likes the protagonist precisely because he is a monster. He is the epitome of single minded hate driven to a productive end. You aren't sure if he's a hero or a villain or if he can even be encapsulated in those definitions. He is without a doubt repugnant and morally objectionable but also pragmatic and justified. He approaches his objectives with a single minded obsession that puts Batman to shame and succeeds based on fore-thought, planning, and unrelentingly brutal violence rather than anime power level bullshit that would hand him victories. The Goblin Slayer himself is a character trapped in the wrong manga and setting, this is part of his charm - when the book itself can decide what it wants to be, anyway.

tl; dr: He's Black Manta if Aquaman was a goblin.

I'd rather say it's dungeon meshi.

>He is without a doubt repugnant and morally objectionable
Are you high on crack again, user
How can killing ALL the goblins be morally problematic

his first appearance, when he kills the goblin children.

He himself admits it may be possible to find a good goblin among the infants, but he thinks it's better to kill them and enjoys it to boot

It's straight from his mouth that he understands this.

the difference is, Black Manta has no tragic backstory or reason to hate Aquaman like he does - it's always manufactured just to fuck with Aquaman.

Goblin Slayer has a backstory reason to hate goblins

We should get back to discussing Traderland Saga and turn our attention to Golden Kamuy

>rather than anime power level bullshit that would hand him victories

except when it was revealed that it's all powerlevel bullshit regardless.

>Golden Kamuy
My nigga.

>except when it was revealed that it's all powerlevel bullshit regardless.

What, did the series Naruto itself?

this looks like a collection of wholesome, heterosexual brothers who are 'with it'.

It's basically some kind of weird roadtrip get the mcguffin campaign

At the end it is revealed that the gods simply play a rpg but they can't influence GS because his stats fighting goblins make it impossible for him to fail

>totally naked
>still has a hat on
Fucking Sugimoto.

although
>totally naked in the bath
>still hid the rifle somewhere
Fucking Ogata.

I find it amazing that Golden Kamyu has no bad characters. Every one of them (even the villains) (especially the villains) you can't help but root for and sympathize with. THAT'S good writing.

....I...what?

So it's Rance?

It's a subpar series that only got to the level of popularity it's at is because of the artist's love for snuff. Which is hardly ever adressed in the original story, to boot. The fact someone has been spamming it over the past month here on Veeky Forums coupled with the same, inane questions certainly doesn't help its case.

Why do we keep having these threads? GS is shit, /a/, deal with it, and not even shit in a funny way like Goblins or OOTS. Its only redeeming value is somewhat good artwork and even then it fluctuates between somewhat ok and typical jap moeshit.

Because he's a fucking Male Human Fighter.

It's Rance if Rance presented itself as GoT-like serious medieval drama and not one middle aged woman's rape fetish outlet.

Although to be fair Rance games actually have decent story.

I think he would work as well if not better without a backstory. After all, since goblins are portrayed as vermin, we don't need to empathize with the protag in order to support him.
A single-minded, mechanical hate machine, with neither past nor future.

And it would allow him to relax when there's no more goblin arounds, instead of mopping because his parents are dead.

I'm still mad that Centaur no Nayami got dropped.
What else are good Veeky Forums mangas? Nausicaa is fantastic, Akira and Eden are solid sci-fi

Rance was made by a woman?

He gets to kill child like sentient beings but is morally correct due to the setting's grimdarkness

I unironically love this series. It really captures the spiteful spirit of old-school roleplaying.

I don't. It is a edgy manga as well as being torture-porn wanking shit for beta numales. Fuck off.

>Rance was made by a woman?

Yep. Woman wrote like, all the games

>Centaur no Nayami

No offense but that shit got weird after the first few episodes

Right, Rance is notably at least for the fact that the Protagonist, for all his bullshit meta-power, is still ultimately a pawn in the rape whales game

More like 2 through 7. Still, Tori's almost entirely responsible for Rance's character and personality as we know it.
