In this anime, the main character comes across as a wise individual with a lot of common sense, especially when it comes to strategies and planning. He seems incredibly smart, which is why he made it onto this list. One of the highlights of this show is that we get a glimpse into his thought process. Like in many anime featuring intelligent protagonists, there are moments where he plots something and later explains the logic behind it. It has a vibe similar to a detective anime at times, with a focus on unraveling plans and strategies.

goblin slayer is not an op main character, what makes this anime interesting that relies on experience and street smart to get things done.

this anime format is usually the Mc coming up with some clever ideas fighting demons with some made up fantasy world magic strategies... so when you are watching this anime is centering on the Mc being smart directing his team.
well the Mc is op but with some handicap that will make him use some supposedly smart ideas.
there's a lot of internal monologue you will know most the time what's the Mc is thinking.
besides the fantasy world thing and the op Mc... I guess some of the main moral of this anime seems like being humble because the Mc is willing to share his knowledge openly without being a jerk and stuff... theres some characters that are made to be arrogant and stuff... just mentioning it to have more classification of characters.
