COMMENTS FOR GRIMGAR: ASHES AND ILLUSIONS
Unlike most fantasy anime, both shows present realistic/raw thoughts and emotions of the characters who find themselves thrown into an unfamiliar fantasy setting. Both shows also possess darker themes and as such would more likely be appreciated by a more mature audience.

COMMENTS FOR AKAME GA KILL!
Naive people go to city, hoping that their life will go great, they'll do a few things, make money, become famous and... And then life surprises them, people die, lots of blood, MC gets little trauma, then there's a hero saving the day. Done.
Basically - naive characters, op characters, blood and gore, quests and dark atmosphere of the world.

COMMENTS FOR IS IT WRONG TO TRY TO PICK UP GIRLS IN A DUNGEON?
Both have the same amount of fantasy, magic and adventure, but unlike the other one , one doesn't hesitate to pull any string to make it a darker version of any cliche anime with such genre, which is good.
COMMENTS FOR BERSERK
I'm surprised im the first one who made this suggestion. Goblin Slayer is so much like Berserk.
Just like Berserk, this is another Brutal, Dark fantasy with Blood, gore, rape, and a pretty cruel world.
The leads are also very similar in the way that they are both are ruthless and motivated by revenge. They both show no mercy to their enemies and both have a very dark past. They are also not that good at socializing with others.
There are more examples that i will edit once more episodes come out.
COMMENTS FOR OVERLORD
In both, the story takes place in a heroic fantasy type world, and is centered around monsters.
The two MCs are very similar: they're overpowered, have dubious morals, and their real face is never shown. They also both help people for their own benefits. Then, they have a group of girls who swoon over them, but never took interest in it. Because of that, expect some gud fan service.
also woah violence

COMMENTS FOR ATTACK ON TITAN
Both feature MCs that want to eliminate the monsters that have been terrorizing people.
Goblin Slayer being Goblins
Attack on Titan being Titans
COMMENTS FOR DRIFTERS
Both shows have got a simple minded male MC. Their social skills aren't the best but they have the charisma to make them the leaders of their group. Also, both shows are dark and have got a lot of gore.

COMMENTS FOR SHIGURUI: DEATH FRENZY
If you loved Goblin Slayer's seriousness and all-out violence, take the next step out of a fantasy world and into the ruthless world of a Samurai's life in 1600's Japan. Our main character in Shigurui is just as stoic, merciless, and relentless as Goblin Slayer, and the animation is even more gruesome. This anime takes a step up in maturity- and not just in rating. This anime is historical and as realistic as most anime get. Although much older than Goblin Slayer, the detail put into this anime is intricate, the animation, blood-curdling, and the story, much more toned for a older audience.
If you've already seen Shigurui, and you're tired of seeing the same old Racal-boy type characters taking the lead in a bubbly isekai, I would give Goblin Slayer a try. It has a graver tone than most anime airing in the past couple of seasons.

COMMENTS FOR CAUTIOUS HERO: THE HERO IS OVERPOWERED BUT OVERLY CAUTIOUS
Both shows feature very cautious heroes who win through being prepared and not fighting "fair". Goblin Slayer is less OP and there is less comedy, but the serious scenes in Shinchou Yuusha are reminiscent of Goblin Slayer.

COMMENTS FOR THAT TIME I GOT REINCARNATED AS A SLIME
1. You can find goblins in both
2. The MC is overpowered
3. Races and classes seem pretty familiar to me
BUT
1. Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken is an Isekai while Goblin Slayer is not
2. Reincarnated as a slime seems more of a comedy than a drama (I mean aside from the fight between demon lord and Rimuru, I didn't see any dramatic moments, meanwhile Goblin Slayer is more deep, dark anime, we all remember that scene from ep 1)
3. Smashable Goblins (When you say Goblin Slayer you mean rape, ugly goblins, etc. Meanwhile when you say Reincarnated as a Slime you mean waifu goblins that are actually cute)
COMMENTS FOR DORORO
Both main characters are the silent and strong type
Both are determined to meet their end goal no matter how many times they fail without rest
Lots of gore
Involves demons

COMMENTS FOR TALES OF ZESTIRIA THE X
Both are adventure anime with focus more on the action rather than the character development or personalities. Both are fast paced, have good character designs, and good animation.

COMMENTS FOR MADE IN ABYSS
Both high fantasy shows with interesting premises and worldbuilding, as well a beautiful and cutesy artstyle that hides darker undertones and gorier scenes.

COMMENTS FOR DEVILMAN: CRYBABY
While the settings for these shows are different, they both have a similar tone and content to them. Both of these anime have an anti hero main character that kills monsters. They are also horror anime filled with blood and guts. I recommended both of these shows for anyone who likes anime with a dark atmosphere to them.

-even the names are similar (Goblin / Demon ) Slayer :)
-Goblin slayer is more gruesome and gory than Demon slayer , but they are both not that disturbing if u ask me.

COMMENTS FOR SWORD ORATORIA: IS IT WRONG TO TRY TO PICK UP GIRLS IN A DUNGEON? ON THE SIDE
Similar art style , both main characters slay monsters to earn money , but Goblin Slayer is more brutal and bloody .

COMMENTS FOR CHAOS DRAGON
Both shows show how a bad fantasy RPG campaign looks like, but for different reasons. Chaos Dragon has some bad players (Urobutcher is not alone in this one), while Goblin Slayer would have one of the worst GM imaginable who promptly goes down the list of things not to do.

COMMENTS FOR RECORD OF LODOSS WAR

COMMENTS FOR SWORD ART ONLINE: ALICIZATION
How is there no rec for Goblin Slayer?
Besides the very infamous "Rape" scene and goblin killing present in both. Here are other similarities
- An adventure, and good action to defeat the (bad guys/goblins)
- Scenes where male MC fights to save or rescue a girl (Happens on many occassions, Alice, Asuna, Selka, Tiese, Ronie, Priestess, unknown elf and Cow Girl)
- Medieval town setting with ranks and statuses (Knights, nobles, commoner, adventurers)
- Male MC wields a distinct, powerful sword, has some "formidable skills, a finishing attack" and is strong
- Male MC won't let past mistake and regret happen again, fights on and won't subject to the world he is in, even if getting hurt in the process (Losing Alice, subjecting to the Taboo Index system in Alicization, Losing his sister, hiding from goblins in Goblin Slayer)
- Male MC has feelings or cares for female MC (Kirito and Eugeo for Alice, Goblin Slayer for Priestess but not obvious)
- Female MC is cute/pretty, has boobs, likes male MC, but does not falter to male MC and would confront them (Alice is on equal level with Kirito and Eugeo, Priestess can't be on her own, but is probably the next most important on the team after Goblin Slayer and the Shaman Lizard)
- MCs support and protect each other (Kirito and Eugeo, Goblin Slayer and his team)
- Mild nudity or sexiness (Some fanservice, if you exclude the Rape)
- Pleasant Art (Pretty and detailed)

COMMENTS FOR MAOYU ~ ARCHENEMY & HERO
There is one interesting aspect to both of those series that not much anime have - the characters have no names and instead are referred by name of their job/specialization. For example Hero, Priestess, Female Knight, Witch, you get the idea.

COMMENTS FOR MACROSS DELTA
Both feature a girl with green hair, pointy ears, voiced by Nao Toyama.

COMMENTS FOR THE RISING OF THE SHIELD HERO
Both series turn their genres on their heads.
Shiled Hero, is NOT your typical cookie cutter generic Isekai anime
in the same way:
Goblin Slayer, is NOT your average fantasy anime with some unexpected twists
COMMENTS FOR GANTZ
While these two have a different setting to them, they both have a similar vibe. Both anime are filled with action, violence, blood and gore. Both have a dark and moody feeling to them. If you like one, you should the other as well.
