If I watched the entire series straight, I think I'd be even more annoyed of the constant musical scenes because they are way too close to each other. But that's just me. The first one was actually really well done, and maybe the Manato death one, but all the others felt like padding.

I think if they only had 10 episodes, this would've been much better. There will always be something exciting happening in each episode, and they won't need as many blank air time.

The concept and premise are really good. Goblins playing chess? Hell yeah. These adventurers are fucking evil lol. They almost deserve their suffering haha.
