It tells of their travels together, and of the bond between father. This is a chronicle of a journey that would bind a member of the dying 'human' clan to the forest guardian Golem, as father and daughter. One day, the forest guardian Golem meets a human girl. This is a record of the pair one a member of a ruined race, the other a watchman of the forest. The world is ruled by a diversity of inhuman beings, who persecuted humans and drove them to near-extinction. One day, a golem and a lone human girl meet. Human beings are persecuted, to the very point of extinction. Overall, it's a wonderful story which I think everyone should experience at least once it made me cry, laugh, scream, it created such a wide array of emotions which few works of fiction have ever managed to accomplish. The world is ruled by spirits, goblins and all manner of strange creatures.
The animation is beautiful and the world they travel through is outstandingly gorgeous, the great variety of creatures and the stories of those they encounter along the way paints a rather harsh yet powerful sense of how the world they are in operates, leading you to root even further for Somali and her monster Dad to succeed in their quest. The world is ruled by spirits, goblins and all manner of strange creatures.
#Somali to mori no kamisama series
Most of the characters they encounter are relatable in some way, they all have something special and nice about them which makes you able to grow to love and care deeply for them from the first time they appear on screen (with a few exceptions of course, no spoilers.) Based on a fantasy seinen manga series by Gureishi Yako. Without being too spoilery, the story follows the journey of a human girl with a Golem, a creature from the forest whowants to help her find other humans in a world inhabited by monsters where humans have been brought to the edge of extinction.ĭespite dealing with some strong issues from time to time, the story itself is one of love and self realization, where both Somali and her Golem companion learn to care for each other and grow as individuals, bonding throughout their journey in a way that I can only describe as wholesome, adorable and entertaining a wonderful Father-daughter dynamic I've seldom seen before. It’s certain that you’re already aware of its calming magnificence as an illustrious slice-of-life anime.
If you’re lucky enough to have unearthed Barakamon before, then good for you. I'll begin by saying that calling this a masterpiece is an understatement, this is perhaps one of the best anime to come out in recent years, and one of the best I've ever watched. Every so often, it takes serendipity to discover hidden gems like Somali to Mori no Kamisama. First time writing a review on the site, yet I feel like I must write this in the hopes that more people can stumble upon this gem of an anime. When a golem discovers a young human girl in the forest that he protects, the two set out on a journey in search of other humans, whom are considered to be.
