@KatDawson_Narrator@mastodon.social Anime, including isekai, uses a number of very specific core sound effects, and clips, in fantasy as well as other media. Some of these effects date back to kabuki theater. The goblin 'voices' used in anime follow this pattern across an incredible number of series. (pitch shifted up with some other effects). I find this stock uniformity of goblins somewhat unfortunate. It is made much worse when the animations for individual goblins are copied and pasted, or made from 3d models in order to cheaply represent a horde. Litrpg and isekai share many elements, as the genres have grown. I dearly hope that litrpg goblins are not consigned to such a generic fate... Many litrpg series treat goblins as unique or interesting! ...even if some protagonists are at first hesitant to do so.
