![]() Humans versus nature and so on in a very hamfisted way, but luckily they put the emphasis on the worlduilding and character interaction which ends up a lot better. The weakpoint is the story itself, it got to quite a heavy-handed start. He's stoic, but unlike most stoic characters in anime he's not socially awkward or fails at life, he's street-smart and knows his way around. They captured a child's behavior and spirit well with Somali, while the golem is a good counterbalance to it. The dynamic and relationship between them is great, it feels intimate, like they actually know each other for quite some time now, but there is still a lot of room for them to grow together. Sometimes, the journey can matter more than the destination. The golem is smart and doesn't take shit, he feels at home in that world. Somali to Mori no Kamisama 04 ( Kanaeru Hana to Negau Yakusoku) The Wishing Flower and the Promise Request The golem learned an extremely valuable lesson. Somali is a lovable little shit, totally adorable. ![]() But there are a lot of little details to be found that don't get spelled out. 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. The world building got to a good start, except for the super clumsy exposition dump in the bar that made my eyes roll back a bit. Somali to Mori no Kamisama The world is ruled by a diversity of inhuman beings, who persecuted humans and drove them to near-extinction. And you know what? I’m totally okay with that.Īnyway, that’s about everything I wanted to discuss.Very charming. But also enough safety to enjoy the mundane and truly cherished aspects of ordinary life. They seem to want a story that’s primarily about a long journey by father and child, with some occasional dangers along the way. Obviously, the author’s intention is to avoid bombarding Somali and the Golem with monsters. ![]() It seems a bit convenient that they can’t, considering they’re depicted as a vast array of beings – and there should certainly be a couple that have the heightened perceptions to notice. To be honest, this episode makes me ask the question why other monsters don’t have an easy time figuring out that Somali is a human through smell. This is a record of the pair, one a member of a ruined race, the other a watchman of the forest. One day, a golem and a lone human girl meet. Human beings are persecuted, to the very point of extinction. How can Somali escape or survive this encounter? The world is ruled by spirits, goblins, and all manner of strange creatures. It’s not the first life-threatening situation, but it also seems like the most critical one to date. And when she admits to requiring Somali’s blood, I suppose that most people would wonder if it’s a malady that can be cured through a blood transfusion. However, it’s no surprise that people can be so shortsighted when it comes to those that they hold dear. I don’t know how Uzoi plans to get away with this when Golem dad is a formidable entity that can singlehandedly decimate her, as well as Haitora. Whereas the Golem’s aim is to unite Somali with some humans before his demise, which makes it seem like he’s accepting his inevitable fate in some way, Uzoi and Haitora want to fight against destiny – which might entail sacrificing Somali to achieve that end. And crucially, both fathers suffer from life-threatening ailments. They travel around with non-blood related people who they love dearly and consider to be their own father. If it wasn’t already obvious, the parallels between Somali and Uzoi go extremely far. Uzoi’s familiarity with the human scent comes down to the fact that Haitora is actually human – making him the first human being to appear other than Somali so far in this series. However, these fears are quickly laid to rest. This is a record of the pair one a member of a ruined race, the other a watchman of the forest. However, we’re faced by a quick scare when Uzoi indicates that she can sniff out Somali’s true heritage. The world is ruled by spirits, goblins and all manner of strange creatures. Uzoi even gets into a minor squabble with Somali over a limited cold treat – and it was refreshing to see an individual call out Somali for her bratty behaviour. At first, they seem like mere travelling bird monsters travelling as a pair, not too different from Somali and the Golem. And that’s where our two new characters come in – Uzoi and Haitora, who own a wagon and are familiar with the lay of the treacherous lands. And although the golem is an impressively built specimen with lots of capabilities, there’s no denying that he lacks the expertise to safely cross the desert. A trek across the desert is bound to tire out a little cinnamon bun like Somali.
