Goblin no Suana

Male goblins are known to attack people, kidnap women, rape them and father children with helpless captives. When a group of devout pilgrims travel through the forest without an escort, they fall victim to such a goblin attack. The lovely Anvil is the only one left alive in the attack, and her god does not seem to be answering her prayers, as the lustful goblins take her with them to feast on her as much as possible. She chooses not to resist, for to refuse would be her death sentence. Is it perhaps even the will of her master that she should help these lowly creatures to satisfy the almost insatiable desire that plagues her?

Directed by —, Goblin no Suana leans on a strong ensemble — Mei Hanamori, Hazuki Akari, Marie Miyake — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2023.
