Somali and the Forest Spirit

The world is ruled by spirits, goblins, and all manner of strange creatures. Human beings are persecuted, to the very point of extinction. One day, a golem and a lone human girl meet.

This is a record of the pair, one a member of a ruined race, the other a watchman of the forest. It tells of their travels together and of the bond between father and daughter.

ep 1, 8:43

I love the art and the OP is fantastic.

The exposition is really thick right now though. A temporary annoyance for those stories that suffer with it. Meh.

[Momogari]

mhm.

But butterflies...!

Oh yeah, this is beautiful. Can't wait for more!

I've decided to read the manga for this one instead. So I will post some panels instead of screenshots. You'll understand why I want to read the manga instead. (But the anime is very good as well.)

I've finished volume 1 of the manga.

Watched Episode 2 – Edible Herbs and the Oni's Dwelling. I'm not sure just how much Shizuno knows.

I saw ep 2

It was cute
hopefully it has a plot later.

I'm hoping that Shizuno comes up with a way of saving the Golem.

Let's see if ep. 2 adapts the second part of the first volume of the manga.

I wouldn't count on it. I think it might be one of those anime which are not to be enjoyed for plot twists.

It slightly reminds me of Mushishi.
