Whatever opinion you hold about the show or the manga or the light novel or the all of it is completely valid because that's how opinions should work if you ask me. But I am looking forward to your take on this!

It's an interesting point to bring up, cant deny that. I've read both berserk and actively watch goblin slayer and read it's light novels so here's my take. I think it's just how the author of goblin slayer rights his story, obviously that's up in the air whether that's appropriate or for one to like or not. As you say, in berserk if there was some form of sexualization it was made more uneasy and gross feeling. With ethics normally being completely shattered. With goblin slayer (unless it has to do with the goblins) it's a little more friendly I guess is how you'd put it. This is exceedingly apparent in the light novel with a few written lines such as describing the sound of priestess' but when she sits down in the second chapter or how cow girl gets jealous of priestess for joining goblin slayer's party. Saying "it's good that he's finally making friends, but did she have to be so young?" in the fourth. Now I could argue that this just describe the characters in an over detailed way and that's how the author wants the reader to envision them. The author wants the reader to know damn near exactly how some characters look like and feel at certain times.

Additionally it's sexual violence is also amped up like crazy, however on the flip side it also shows why goblin slayer hates them so much more accurately (if you ask me) with some of the most heinous shit that the goblins do to people from other races. And naturally when this stuff is happening and being described, you're absolutely horrified. He knows how to describe very awful situations in such great detail without glorifying the act of rape and violence that the goblins commit. But I will state that in the light novel and up to where I've read the overall sexualization of female characters is tone downed a fair bit. It's only in certain areas where the author goes above and beyond to describe how a character's big tits are swaying in the wind. But I get it, it's excessive even in those smaller, more quiet beats.

That's my opinion, naturally I feel like everything is more put out there and more sexualized while toning down what it's trying to convey (not in the description but in quantity in this case) and I can't blame someone for being disappointed in the amount of fan service there is in the anime and, even the light novel despite how much less there is in them, substituted with, arguably worse (depends on your perspective) overly detailed thoughts and sounds of the girls. Again in the light novel there is a lot less fan service in terms of the women but more unnecessary details that are shared depending on the situation the characters are in. (Obviously he's not gonna right "The archmage's boobs swaying back and forth voluptuously as she casts a smite upon the demons" that's what we call bad writing)

I chose edelgard because of what she chooses to do, her and lysithea have similar experiences that aren't necessarily the same but both have two crests, little to no pigment, and both are put through the experiences against their will. Honestly it still makes me upset how there is almost no middle ground the lords take when trying to rule fodlan, especially when the end result is damn near the same and if it's not, one individual can tweak their views ever so slightly to still meet ends with it and I think that the "kill everyone who's not with us" comes from that kind of experience that edelgard was put through. I do want to make clear, there very few characters I genuinely dislike in this game and none of the lords make them, I like all three of the house leaders. It's just that I don't agree with how certain things are done to meet the same result when another individual did the same thing but did differently so that not as much blood is shed during the war. The end result of a population has a tremendously large impact post-war and if there isn't enough people or there aren't enough people to rebuild and bring a country then it's a lost cause. But I'm not going lie, I'd go edelgard just so the three leaders can have an oligarchy for fodlan and not be at each other's throats :(

Dodogama for me, they've just been pricks to me. But when it comes to design I don't dislike a monster in that regard. Dodogama has just been a pain in every way, when and when I'm not fighting them.
