Somari to Mori no Kamisama

This is the first anime to manage to make me cry so much in only one season while still making me feel warm inside. A good 7/12 episodes made me tear up, or more (generally more). I absolutely need another season of this lovingly heartwarming story. Anyone that rates this below an 8 is probably heartless or missed the major point of discovering one's heart (harsh, but I'm sure many would agree). This is one of very few shows that honestly deserves an 11 rating, along with a recommendation of it to family and friends.

This anime is slower paced but it tells a lovely story. It also addresses issues such as war genocide, and trafficking, so the the story does have some dark undertones. But despite that it is ultimately hopeful.

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.

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.

Not mind blowing, but still a nicely done anime, too naive in my opinion and not enough action.
