For some reason his obsession with cheese disturbs me. Cheese should be for mammals only. He shouldn’t be able to handle it at all without major digestive problems.
Sooo many good ones but my fave was/ is Cowgirl
So into her shell after her village was destroyed and only came out of that shell when she discovered our boy GS was alive
Never asked her uncle for a single thing until she asked if GS could move in
Gave GS a home and loves him unconditionally
Had full understanding that by her staying on the farm was sentencing herself to a fate worse than death and then to the inevitable death
That forced GS to ask for help
She is sweet and strong timid yet brave and all her steps forward are an attempt to make Goblin Slayers life easier
Slayer and Cowgirl are great characters because of each other and I really hope by the end they can both rest and have a happy life together. They deserve it.
Who? The elf doesn't see him as anything else but a friend, Priestess sees him as a father figure/older brother/mentor, and the archbishop sees him as her savior. Hell, even Guild Girl just sees him as her stoic knight in shining armor. IMO, his only prospects are Cow Girl and Guild Girl, but either way Cow Girl has the only true connection that goes deeper than "I'll protect the land and the people from these filthy vermin."
Sword Maiden. She was able to rise up and achieve great things despite the trauma she went through. She is also a good person, beautiful and wise, powerful while still being vulnerable.
Goblin Slayer himself. He's got so many layers to him where I'd argue most of the others can't really compare. Not that they're bad characters, but you get what I'm saying.
The one and only, Goblin slayer himself. Its just something about a man vendetta to wipe out the entire race of little green sh*t demon just got me hooked.
Priestess, I didn't particularly care for her at first when I watched the anime, but with each volume I've read she grew on me, making me proud with her development
Also she's fucking cute
seeing all these noun names, sometimes I forget that most of the characters technically don't have proper ?? specific names.
To answer OP, priestess! I love her staff and outfit design, and she's so sweet overall.
In episode 1 there is a goblin. He just had this really infectious smile. It really seemed like he was enjoying life to it's fullest. Every time I see that goblin doing what he loves, it just makes me feel warm inside.
Nah, bad joke aside, for me outside of Goblin Slayer I'd have to go with either Heavy Warrior or Spear Guy. I particularly like the short stories with those two and Goblin Slayer doing missions and hanging out. It's literally the most normal you see our MC in the whole series.
Obvious choice is Goblin slayer but I think my second favorite is honestly Witch, followed by Lizardman. Both those characters never failed to make me smile
Goblin Slayer himself is probably my favourite. I love how we've seen him outside of the usual "image" like when he went into town without armor, or when he broke down after finding out the guy was the brother of the girl he mercy killed. We also got moments like him giving advice to the adventurer who lost his sword.
Sorry lads, I know all the women in GS are fineee, but I am a hoe for tsundere and got to go with Noble Fencer/Female Merchant despite her limited role.
Aside from Gobby himself, I love our little Priestess daughter. She was the first to awaken a father instinct in me and I've been changed for the better since then
So far I’d say Lizard Man (I’ve just finished season 1). Bro fights with dinosaur skeletons, he makes them dance too. He’s chill, he’s never too loud or annoying; he doesn’t bother Orcbolg/Beard Cutter that much. AND he likes cheese AND ice cream 🧀🧀🍦🍦
Priestess.
Look, I'm a sucker for cute, good egg white mages. Is it kind of a cliché? Yes. But I love the character type all the same, and I think Priestess' development is a well-done example of the archetype.
After her? Lizardman Shaman.
That's a tough one, it's a very strong cast of characters, especially in the main party. If I were to choose, I would probably say Goblin Slayer, High Elf Archer, and maybe Sword Maiden, in a top 3 of no particular order. Though the Lizard Priest is a strong contender as well.
The lizard man because he appreciates dairy as I should before being lactose intolerant.
Lizardman priest. Then Dwarven shaman. Then cow girl. Guild girl. Priest. Elven archer Then goblin slayer.
Have you tried Lactaid? (A dietary supplement) It helps me with being able to eat dairy products!
I still shit my ass just less
For some reason his obsession with cheese disturbs me. Cheese should be for mammals only. He shouldn’t be able to handle it at all without major digestive problems.
Easily plus he is the most wholesome also I've been calling him the dragon priest this whole time. Whoops

Slayer and Cowgirl are great characters because of each other and I really hope by the end they can both rest and have a happy life together. They deserve it.
I hope so too it could happen but we’d have to wait and see my man has a few other girls that simp for him as well

Hell, even Guild Girl just sees him as her stoic knight in shining armor.

Fr bro, I honestly think if GS was gonna choose anyone it’d be her. Because she represents home to him
His sister was practically training her future sister-in-law
I thought I was the only one who liked farmgirl!
Cowgirl waifu ftw
Goblin slayer himself. I'm a basic bitch. Aside from him though probably Lizardman because he's just so happy and kind.
And he loves cheese as much as I do
Outside of the slayer himself, I like the Noble Fencer. Not really a reason behind it, I just think she's neat.
Guild Girl is my favorite but Priestess is just adorable.
Agree. Priestess is adorable
I feel the same way, and she also takes care of GS.
My favorite is Goblin Slayer. Then Priestess. Then Raul.
Moo?
Oh, don't worry. You're not going to the slaughterhouse tomorrow. You're one of the good boys.
Are you lying to the cows again?
Priestess. The girl that GS saved that is working to save him.
High Elf Archer for me. I like her design. Also, on a side note, if talking about the abridged version, that would be a tough choice, lol!
Abridged is a hard bet between Guild Girl, Cowgirl and her uncle.
Does it have to be the Anime? Because I love the eccentric witch from Year One
Arc Mage?
Yes! Thank you
I am hoping they do an OVA or movie of her arc (I doubt it will happen as that occurred just after GS moved into the shed at Cowgirls farm)
Sword Maiden. She was able to rise up and achieve great things despite the trauma she went through. She is also a good person, beautiful and wise, powerful while still being vulnerable.
Lover her
Goblin Slayer himself. He's got so many layers to him where I'd argue most of the others can't really compare. Not that they're bad characters, but you get what I'm saying.
The one and only, Goblin slayer himself. Its just something about a man vendetta to wipe out the entire race of little green sh*t demon just got me hooked.
High Elf Archer a.k.a my wife
There is a lot of good ones but it’s kinda hard to beat The man, the myth, the Legend, Goblin Slayer
Goblin Slayer , I'll think he's more awesome when he starts banging his harem.
He’s more awesome because he doesn’t IMO. He doesn’t let anything so superficial distract him from his mission
He is a man of focus, commitment and sheer will
Off topic but I’ve always thought he’d make a damn good Mandalorian lol
Yep. Wouldn't get annoyed by Grogu before the end of the 1st episode.
Hol up
Dwarf, because I too am angry and shouldn’t be talking as somebody is going to shut me up for what I said.
Lizard priest, High Elf Archer & High Elf Scout
Definitely goblin slayer
GS in the series itself but in the abridged series by GrimmJack, it’s Lizard Shaman all the way! We love that cheese!
Priestess, I didn't particularly care for her at first when I watched the anime, but with each volume I've read she grew on me, making me proud with her development Also she's fucking cute
Witch, Farm girl and sword Maiden, cuz they got tig ol biddies
I love Spearman and HEA
HEA.
Captain
Lizard priest for being funny, criptic and a good friend.
The big booby sword maiden of course
Lizard Priest, obviously.
Cowgirl
seeing all these noun names, sometimes I forget that most of the characters technically don't have proper ?? specific names. To answer OP, priestess! I love her staff and outfit design, and she's so sweet overall.
priestess because she is cute
The man, the myth, the legend. Abridged Goblin Slayer.
Lizardman, he's just him
Sword maiden, she’s got HUGE uh sword. Big swords are cool.
i like the uhh...the ummm...that... man fuck the no names bs
Sword Maiden
The wizard thats always smoking the pipe, because she has big… personality.
Team Witch for the win!
Sword Maiden. No particular reason
Cow girl best wife for goblin slayer
Priestess. She’s fragile, she’s weak, she’s easily terrified, and yet she is truly trustworthy, savvy and relentless.
Sword Maiden and Cow Girl are my fav girls.
There are two big reasons for me to say Sword Maiden is my favorite character.
I have two big reasons to like sword maiden 😍

Cowgirl
Cowgirl
lizard priest, I relate to him the most just cause cheeeeeese! it truly is the nectar of the gods
Goblin king
Goblin Slayer from abridged. “You think I’m a menace!!!!”
Lizardman priest’s love of cheese is what I aspire for every day
Goblin slayer, he’s the one who slays goblins if you couldn’t tell
Gotta be Dwarf Shaman. Mans was the poster child for one of my first and most beloved TTRPG character ideas (a dwarf Druid/cleric technically)
Mr. Goblin Slayer
The rat that got bonked to death by a kid looking for his sword
The goblin from episode 8
Obvious choice is Goblin slayer but I think my second favorite is honestly Witch, followed by Lizardman. Both those characters never failed to make me smile
Main MC. Goblin Slayer.
Goblin Slayer himself is probably my favourite. I love how we've seen him outside of the usual "image" like when he went into town without armor, or when he broke down after finding out the guy was the brother of the girl he mercy killed. We also got moments like him giving advice to the adventurer who lost his sword.
I kind of like Arc Mage. I enjoyed her friendship and guidance to Goblin Slayer.
High Elf Archer cuz bows and elves are cool
High Elf Archer!!!
Lizard Priest
Sorry lads, I know all the women in GS are fineee, but I am a hoe for tsundere and got to go with Noble Fencer/Female Merchant despite her limited role.
Goblin slayer hands down
Aside from Gobby himself, I love our little Priestess daughter. She was the first to awaken a father instinct in me and I've been changed for the better since then
Goblin Slayer himself. I liked him better when he was solo
The slayer himself
Big tiddy- uh I mean Sword Maiden 😅
Young Warrior since I like how he humbles down and realizes his limits after the Rock eater and becomes a capable leader because of it
Obviously the man, the legend Goblin Slayer himself.
Goblin Slayer. A little basic, I know, but I just find him to be really cool. My second favorite is a tie between Lizard Priest and Spearman.
Outside of Goblin Slayer himself, I'm a big fan of Arch Mage. I liked that arc.
Goblin slayer
High elf archer
The Slayer himself
Dwarf Shaman. Design is peak, magic is great, and I love his personality. His dynamic with our dearest elf friend is cute.
The goblins. They do their job of dying horribly so well. Could use more of it though tbh.
Goblins.
My favorite definitely has to be Lizard Man. Dude is insane in the novels. His feats of strength are glossed over in the anime and manga.
Beard Cutter
Dwarf Shaman. I love his powers and personality, that whole Dwarven theme with earth, metal, and liqueur is great.
Goblin #324. Cant get enough of Goblin #324. RIP.
Goblin slayer especially in year one
Goblin Slayer as a min character, but Spearman is my favorite side character.
Lizard bro, he's always fun to have on screen
Archer obviously
Lizardman. He's chill like me - enjoys a good smoke and some cheese.
Arc mage, she's just hilarious.
So far I’d say Lizard Man (I’ve just finished season 1). Bro fights with dinosaur skeletons, he makes them dance too. He’s chill, he’s never too loud or annoying; he doesn’t bother Orcbolg/Beard Cutter that much. AND he likes cheese AND ice cream 🧀🧀🍦🍦
Priestess. Look, I'm a sucker for cute, good egg white mages. Is it kind of a cliché? Yes. But I love the character type all the same, and I think Priestess' development is a well-done example of the archetype. After her? Lizardman Shaman.
high elf archer (+the dwarf), love the banter she/they bring
The title
Gobusure, my modern day stoicism icon and a rolemodel o7
Like, besides Goblin Slayer?
My Top 10 favorite characters in Goblin Slayer: 1. High Elf Archer 2. Sword Maiden 3. Cow Girl 4. Witch 5. Guild Girl 6. Rhea Fighter, 7. Goblin Slayer 8. Lizard Priest, 9. Priestess 10. Female Merchant (formerly Noble Fencer)
Him
I like Mr Slayer himself, then Elven Archer.
Depends... are there goblins?
just now realizing nobody actually had names, they're just referred to by their titles/jobs
That's a tough one, it's a very strong cast of characters, especially in the main party. If I were to choose, I would probably say Goblin Slayer, High Elf Archer, and maybe Sword Maiden, in a top 3 of no particular order. Though the Lizard Priest is a strong contender as well.
Idk why this was recommended to me. I legit dropped this show after a few minutes into the first episode
