Somari to Mori no Kamisama

My personal favorite anime of the season. Something about this just makes me feel some type of way when I watch every week. The colors are stunningly beautiful, the voice acting is perfect, and the cutest anime child of all time must go to Somali. Not everyone's speed I suppose, but it's absolutely mine.

Recommend beautiful anime for children and grown-ups. Kindness, racism and other aspects in an entertaining form.

Somali and the forest spirits is about an adolescent child named Somali who wanders the world with her parent figure, a forest Druid. They goal is to return Somali to the remaining human population that is on the brink of extermination by the monsters in this demon infested realm.

First off the premise of this anime is quite misleading, because despite humans being cannibalised by these monsters. Somali and her parent figure travel from place to place relatively easy meeting multiple amiable creatures. Leaving us wondering how and why were they so violent with humans in the first place. A darker tone and a more unnerving style would have made this anime a masterpiece, but I guess that sort of vision is lacking. Everything about the plot is painted in a colourful, picturesque manner even when the case need not be....

This visuals of this anime are absolutely wonderful and stunning and the world building is spectacular.

In terms of character building and development their personalities are very one dimensional and most of the episodes repeat the very same themes. This makes the plot very boring and predictable.

But due to the class of the production involved in making this feel good anime. It's worth a watch, just not the unsettling, nail biting, griping anime I expected from reading its premise.

This golem can teach you how to be an excellent father. And somali can be one of the cutest anime character in anime history.

This rating does not do justice to this anime, beautiful animation & soundtrack, the adventures of Somali & her Foster father take them to Faraway lands which are so well defined & inspire a meloncholy feeling inside you to travel.
