Hello everyone! I am here with another review and this time I am doing a review on, Somali and the Forest Spirit. This anime looked good, and I hope it is. Just a heads up I will not be telling how it ends in this review. If you want to know then you will have to watch it. You can find this anime on your local Crunchyroll. I love my ad-free anime and if you do then subscribe. today! This blog and podcast are not affiliated with Crunchyroll and or sponsored. by them. All right let us get into this anime review, shall we? My first thoughts of this anime just seeing the photo. It got me curious and I am hoping it will be good and live up to my expectations. I hope anyways lol. Episode 1: Journeying Parent and Child I think I am going to like this anime. The graphics are beautiful. I know I am still on the first episode. But this anime is going to be special. All right let us keep watching. There is a Golem (if you do not know what it is then please Google.) and he comes across a child. Then they set out on a journey together. The Golem learns to hold hands with Somali. Somali admits she likes to hold his hand. Well, episode one is done and in the books. Onto the next episode! Episode 2: Edible Herbs and the Oni's Dwelling Here we are with episode two. Let us start watching. The Golem and Somali run into an Oni. Somali needs some medical treatment as she injured her knee while. running. They then go back to Oni's place. She gets treated for her wound. Then she helps Oni's assistant with chores. While Somali is asleep, the Golem. shows the Oni and his assistant his body. He reveals that his body is. deteriorating as he has lived 998 years. The Golem's lifespan is one thousand years. As soon as he hits one thousand years he will die. So, this journey is to say goodbye. Now onto episode three! Episode 3: The Sea at the Bottom of the Cave Somali realizes Golem is working so hard so they can finish their journey. It then makes her sad and she starts to cry. Her new friend then mentions. something about a special flower. They go searching and she finds it but almost gets eaten by a creature. Then someone steps in but are she safe? Well, that was it for episode three. Now onto episode four. Episode 4: The Wishing Flower and the Promise Request I am liking this anime so far and I am glad I decided to watch it. All right let us get into episode four. Somali and her newfound friend adventure underground. When they encounter danger but are saved by another. She wishes to proceed and get a wishing flower. In hopes of wishing to be able to travel with her father forever. She then falls ill, and Golem seeks medicine for her. Which? then puts their journey behind them a little. Episode 5: The Wandering Birds Somali and Golem have found new traveling companions. One is secretly a human. While in a cave one then tries to murder Somali to save another human. Will she survive? I am eager to watch the next episode! Episode Five completed. Now onto the next! Cannot wait to see what happens next. Episode 6: Dying Flowers Look Up at the Birds We have reached episode six. Somali's new friend apologizes for trying to kill her. her. Her friend then learns that her father killed her mother. He told her that. her mother had died from an illness, but he ate her. He then tries to sacrifice himself after she hears the truth. They then makeup and she forgives. him. What will happen next? I am wishing this anime were not going to end on the 12th episode. Episode 7: The Footsteps That Stalk the Witches 5 more episodes to go after I finish this one. Sadly, we are coming to an end with this anime. I have grown fond of it to be and have grown attached to the characters. All right let us get to watch this episode. Golem and Somali have departed ways with their traveling companions. Now they are on the road again just. the two of them. They are in search of a village that has a wealth of information. It could help with their search for humans. They reach the library. where the information they need is being held. But then as they find the book. A beast destroys it. Making the book unreadable. Will they be able to? continue their journey? Episode 8: Meetings and Bonds Prayed For They managed to find someone who last read the book. Who turns out to be the head librarian and the author of the book. She then tells the story of the book. Who was her ancestor? The ancestor requested her story never be written. in a book. But the head librarian went against her wishes and did it anyway. Which lead to the destruction of humans. After retelling the tale, she asked Somali to come near her. She grabs for her hands and a bond is made. Then she went peacefully on her way. Now with a new lead Somali and Golem are on their way to a new location. Will they make it in time? Well, episode eight is completed. and onto the next. Episode 9: Memories of Minor Days Golem and Somali find a tapper cabin and get out of the rain. Then some strangers start knocking on the door. Golem opens the door and realizes it is Oni. and his assistant. He welcomes them in. Somali has discovered she is losing a tooth. Which puts her into a panic and frightens her. She tries to keep it a secret but then it pops out when she trips. She then loses her baby tooth. They go to a local dentist and learn it was just a baby tooth. All her teeth are perfect. During this episode, Somali reflects on memories. She tells. Golem is lucky to have him as a father. Later Golem reflects and tells Oni. he stopped being a guardian of the forest. But then he became her protector. Only three more episodes left and then this anime is done. I am sad I will not lie. I really do love and like this anime. I will rewatch it someday. Well onto the next episode! Episode 10: The Infant Child and the Green Fortress Golem is reminiscing about when he first found Somali. At first, he told her to stop following him. But she continued. Finally, he broke down and started to care for her. He saved her from drowning. Then they started on their journey. He tells Oni how he gave her his name. Also tells him that she has been calling him. father from the start. The innkeeper’s wife drops by. Then she learns she is a human and tells some other thugs. There is trouble brewing and Somali is not. safe. Will both make it out alive? Find out in the next episode. Episode 11: Those Who Protect and Those Who Threaten Somali, Oni, and Golem have all been lured into a trap by the innkeeper's wife. Suddenly Golem loses his left arm. He watches as they tear Somali away. from him. Then he rises and something is off with him. He is different. Will they both survive? Or will all be lost? Episode 12: Bonded Father and Child Alas, we have reached the final episode of this anime. It is bittersweet it is. ending and I am sad, to be honest. I have grown to love this anime and don't want. it to end so soon. Sorry, I am not going to reveal the end. I know I am mean and a tease for not giving you the ending. If you want to know how it all ends. Watch it and it's worth it, I promise. Thanks for joining me on another review. Cannot wait to find another anime to watch. Until the next review is safe and stay out of trouble Eugene. Just kidding as always see you in the next review, au revoir for now. Peace.
