Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I really like Hakumei to Mikochi and that doesn't have a plot
But this one has a journey and an objective and a deadline. I feel like lacking a plot would be really detrimental to its enjoyability.

Seems like it's going to be more of a character piece revolving around the development of Somali and Golem than anything else.

Yeah, I have similar thoughts. I think some themes will be fatherhood and discovering emotions by the golem.

But there might be some plot here and there. Maybe Somali gets kidnapped? I hope not, but it'd make some plot.

There's definitely going to be some drama revolving around Somali being human. The clunky exposition in episode 1 made that pretty clear.

Yeah, I wonder what would it be. Kidnapping matches, but I hope it won't be so simple and the author will surprise me. I like to be surprised. :)

Somali and the Forest Spirit is a beautiful anime. After watching the 3rd episode, I know it's going to end in a very sad way..

I haven’t watched this since the first episode. It seemed like it might be worth watching further but at the same time it felt like a dud. So should I watch more? Please mention me if you believe I definitely should watch more or if it’s truly a dud.

It has more plot than I thought at first.
I find it very worth watching.

It's a slow burner - it builds up gradually.

Somali and the wandering birds.

Uzoi, don't do this.
