Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown (2020)

[ゴブリンスレイヤー-GOBLIN'S CROWN-]

Director: Takaharu Ozaki
Starring: Yuichiro Umehara, Yui Ogura, Nao Toyama

Synopsis:
Goblin Slayer and his companions take up a request to find a nobleman's daughter who went missing after going on a goblin-hunting expedition.

Impressions:
The core story here is a fairly good one, but it's more like a two-parter from the TV series put on the silver screen with a lengthy recap at the beginning to pad out the runtime. If you're wanting more Goblin Slayer action, this should satisfy. There are some weighty implications for what's going on with the goblins here, but I feel the potential wasn't capitalized on. Perhaps if we didn't have the recap, things could have been fleshed out a bit more. As I said, despite its shortcomings, it's still pretty good and well worth a watch for fans of the series.
