The GA Bunko announcement stage held on Sunday has announced that light novel Goblin Slayer will get a TV anime. The anime will be produced by studio White Fox. The cast of the series will be the same as Drama CD. More information will be revealed via AnimeJapan 2018 stage.

Synopsis
A young priestess has formed her first adventuring party, but almost immediately they find themselves in distress. It's the Goblin Slayer who comes to their rescue—a man who's dedicated his life to the extermination of all goblins, by any means necessary. And when rumors of his feats begin to circulate, there's no telling who might come calling next... (Source: Yen Press)

Cast
Goblin Slayer: Yuuichirou Umehara (Darling in the FranXX)
Onna Shinkan (Priestess): Yui Ogura (Ryuuou no Oshigoto)
Yousei Yunde (High Elf Archer): Nao Touyama (Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite Kaku Tatakaeri)
Ushikai Musume (Cow Girl): Yuka Iguchi (Kantai Collection: KanColle)
Uketsuke-jou (Guild Girl): Maaya Uchida (Musaigen no Phantom World)
Kouhito Doushi (Mine Priest): Yuuichi Nakamura (Amaama to Inazuma)
Tokage Souryo (Lizard Monk): Tomokazu Sugita (Aho Girl)
Majo (Witch): Yoko Hikasa (Rokka no Yuusha)
Yaritsukai (Lancer): Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Shokugeki no Souma)

The action fantasy series is written by Kumo Kagyuu with illustrations by Noboru Kannatsuki, and began its publication via SB Creative's GA Bunko imprint in February 2016. The series currently has six volumes in print, with the seventh volume scheduled to be published on March 14. A manga adaptation drawn by Kousuke Kurose has been serialized in Big Gangan magazine since May 2016. Square Enix has published three volumes, with the fourth volume shipping on March 13.

Yen Press licensed the series in English and published the first manga volume and the fourth light novel volume on December 19 last year.

Should be High Elf Archer, not Fairy Archer. She has elf ears in the pic in the official website. Use the names in there.
And it's not Gun User but Spear User(槍使い) since there's no guns in this setting. Spearman might be better or Lancer since he looks like FSN Lancer.

Was only a matter of time I suppose that this gets an anime. I can already hear the rape calls.

Hopefully this will be White Fox's big project instead of some LN promotional adaptation. At least the key visual looks good even if it's just a key visual at this point. Don't really care that much about rape content as long as they'll be handling the gore parts well enough like Re:Zero.

This was inevitable given how popular it is.
Haven't read it but from what I've seen there's lots of rape and shock value stuff. Dunno if the writing is actually any good.

i don't think it makes any difference though the setting looks pretty much like isekai with just a fantasy tag.

that doesnt make sense bro, the term isekai is often used when someone goes to another world from our world.
then i assume u believe grancrest senki thats currently airing this season is an isekai? NO, its just high fantasy that applies to goblin slayer as well

Sorry to be that guy but I wanted to point this out for a long time already. Isekai just means 'different world' not transported into one. That would be isekai ten'i, isekai shoukan, or isekai tensei etc. It's not even limited to fantasy so it's a pretty broad term/genre. But yeah, it's mostly used in relation to transported to another world shows so I get what you mean.

Also people shouldn't hate an entire genre just because there's a lot of bad shows that don't know how to use the genre right. So I don't see why people should hate goblin slayer just because it's an isekai fantasy. I mean do people hate lotr or the witcher or warhammer? And if some of you dislike that anime is right now full of this stuff that's fine, though I don't know if complaining will change anything about this current trend. It's not like there aren't other tv shows, games or books to enjoy if you want a good story. Do that in the mean time and come back if some of the isekai shows turn out to be good and you don't feel fed up with them anymore.

Not another of these trashy ones. The manga is awful which I heard is a adapted faithfully from the LN. Well, if anyone is into brutal deaths like Akame ga Kill, this is for them.

Shield Hero is just utter garbage through and through after the initial arc.

As for GS i only read the manga and yes it was a bit overly edgy at certain parts but so far it's decent and fun at times to read. It helps that the MC is not laughably edgy like Shield Hero and most isekai garbages out there.

Is a very good new, i'm following the manga atm, but i'm a bit worry about censorship, can be hard to reproduce some scenes on a TV network unless is on At-X. Hopefully they do not watering down the sexual content or will be disappointed, the best part of the manga is the pain and terror of the victims of goblins and dungeon massive monsters, gore is just a plus.
