Unfortunatly, some of these character arks aren't as strong as others, so I found myself somewhat bored during certain segments. Characterization is very much the main focus of this anime rather than story and each supporting cast has their own goals and their own backstory that will keep you interested into the show. ![]() Every character is well thought out and has a lot of character development put into them. Not just Somali, but this show is really good with characterization. Somali is instantly best girl of 2020 for me, and it will take a lot of cuteness for any other girl to pass Somali's level of cuteness. I wouldn't put the art or animation as high as something like Violet Evergarden, but the art still remains gorgeous. The character designs for this anime feels unique and imaginative, there is something about the character designs that instantly draws me into the show. There are some really beautifully drawn scenes and some of them are straight up wallpaper material. The art is beautiful, the world of Somali To Mori is just breath-taking to look at and it feels like a fantasy world where I would want to live in. The story remains simplistic and enjoyable, it is heart warming and Although the story doesn't seem entirely unique, a story about a father golem and a human daughter's journey is the kind of premise that I am extremely fascinated by. Somali To Mori has an interesting plot line that immediatly hooked me into the anime. I was instantly captivated by the promotional trailer and I knew this was going to be something for me, and going into the show I will say that I like it for what it is. Somali to Mori was one of my most anticipated anime for 2020. Hopefully this review helped you guys out. ![]() Thank you again to everyone who reads my reviews, despite this one being on the bit shorter side (to be fair I feel like this is one of the more needed to be experienced than talk about series due to its nature but w/e). Pros: very heartwarming premise, amazing backgroundsĬons: could use more fleshing out with its world buildingįor recommendations go for: Made in Abyss and The Ancient Magus Bride Overall, Somali and the Forest Spirit was a enjoyable show to watch and was very helpful in relieving some stress due to its absolute c o m f y n e s s. The animation of isn't the most amazing thing in the world, but the overall art more than makes up for it since after all, this series is mostly focused around narrative, not action. The main cast all looks distinguishable, the creatures all looks unique and the towns look like they came right out of your comfy country fantasy. The colors are very bright and bring a breath of life to the world. The backgrounds look spectacular and the characters seem to be moving around high quality paintings. ![]() The art is quite possibly the biggest standout of Somali. ![]() The only problem with it, is with it only being a 12 episode series we didn't get much info on how these towns were started and how they were effected by the constant conflicts with the humans the creatures practically wiped out. These setting are quaint and very effective for building up a lore. Throughout these towns we get a brief view of their lives while Golem is trying to find information on human beings in search for a way to find Somali's parents. Along the way, we are treated to lush, vibrant towns full of ogres, witches, rabbits, you name them. Along the way we get to see these two grow together and watch Golem develop a soft spot for a small, abandoned girl that The whole thing is pertaining to the adventure and growth of the two main leads: Somali and Golem. The story of this particular series is absolutely nothing revolutionary, but it doesn't need to be. Without further ado, here's my review (yay first of 2020!) of Somali and the Forest Spirit. There's something that draws me into these stories of "things that typically don't have emotions develop feelings for a human being". Somali was too darn sweet and comfy for its own good.
