Forgettable adventure to pass time, mediocre in execution. Protagonist is shallow, despite gift of strategy.
This show is a prominent example of a new cheap trend in anime: main character is a faceless mannequin, or could be, since you would not be able to tell the difference because he never takes the helmet off, so that animators are not bothered to draw his face. As result, range of emotions that dummy-the-protagonist expresses is dramatically limited. The same could be said about the story: goblins are being killed in increasing quantities, and the entire gist of the plot is that main character is laughed upon for his burning hatred of weaklings that stronger fighters don't even bother hunting, but in the end he is acknowledged for his goblin-slaying expertise after fighting off massive attack of goblins. Meh.
