Premieres April 4. Check out the ANN article for additional casting/staff announcements. Synopsis from AniList:

After meeting an untimely death, Tomokui Kanata is reincarnated as a lowly goblin, but he’s worked up a monstrous appetite. Thanks to his new ability that allows him to grow stronger the more he feeds, his feeble status quickly changes, and he rises to become the goblin leader. With a mix of his past memories, new body, and strong stomach, he’s taking a bite out of this new fantastical world!

So, I read a good portion of this manga and I can't say that it really stuck with me. I remember that it started out interesting enough as the MC explored what was/wasn't possible with his ability. There was also some interesting worldbuilding around the monster evolutionary trees that are present in the world. However, the early charm of this series started to fade as the MC just becomes stronger and stronger to the point he is quite OP. Also, the exploration of his ability and evolution slowed down to a crawl so I lost interest after a while and dropped it.

Sounds almost 1 to 1 a worse rehash of slime

That's pretty much it. I've read as far as chapter 47, and it's very unremarkable. There were times where they lingered on the main character's sex life, and they didn't really pull that off either; it seemed pretty pointless.
All that being said, I might still give the anime a chance because the early bits of the manga were interesting enough.

Didn't the mc go on rape/brainwashing spree ? Or I am confusing it with something else ?

I don't remember that from this series, but it sounds like what happens in Redo of Healer. That series is very messed up and very NSFW.
