* StarMakingRole: For Creator/HaydenDaviau in ''Goblin Slayer'' as Priestess, since it's one of the few {{Anime}} titles that has her in a leading role.

* IKnewIt: When the AnimatedAdaptation leapt forward into the events of Water Town from Volume 2 in the midst of the season, fans of the series deduced the climax from Volume 1 would be saved until the last couple of episodes, citing a more narrative-driven StoryArc. This turns out to be true as the end of Episode 10 is a {{Foreshadowing}} [[spoiler:of a massive goblin horde at the edge of Cow Girl's farm]].

** Some non-human characters are referred to simply by their race (e.g. High Elf Archer is almost always just called "elf", Dwarf Shaman is "dwarf", etc.)
** A few of the side characters get jokingly called by the name of the character their design is [[{{Expy}} taken from]]: (e.g. Heavy Warrior is "[[Manga/{{Berserk}} Guts]]", Chosen Heroine is referred to as "[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi]]", Sword Maiden is "[[VideoGame/NierAutomata YoRHa 2B]]", etc.)

* SeriesHiatus: The manga for ''Goblin Slayer Gaiden 2: Tsubanari no Daikatana'' went on hiatus after only three chapters were published. A little later in May 2019, it was then announced that [[CutShort serialization had ended]] in its magazine, [[https://twitter.com/Sonne20304/status/1133395703533899778?s=20 although on May 28]] it is confirmed the manga will be back on [=MangaUP!=] with a new artist at the helm.

* ShoutOut: In addition to the references to RPG and JRPG tropes and series, there's a ''very'' obscure one in the ''Year One'' gaiden. When Goblin Slayer mentions goblins digging tunnels to ambush him from behind, Arc Mage cracks a joke about "the sound of frying bacon." This comes from the book version of ''Literature/StarshipTroopers'', where this is word-for-word how the sound of the Bugs digging under the Mobile Infantry's ground-penetrating sonar stations is described.
