Somali is an extremely cute kid, and she’s voiced by Inori Minase - who’s a great voice actress and did an amazing job in this role. Of course, I can’t really review this series without discussing what’s probably the main draw of the series: Somali. Somali is a small, human child who thinks of Golem as her father. Golem is the titular “forest spirit” and serves as Somali’s guardian. There are two main characters in this series: Somali and Golem. I think I’d have to go back to Violet Evergarden in early 2018 to find a better looking series than Somali and the Forest Spirit. It may have even been better than anything from 2019 as well. I’ll discuss the world building later on, but the background art used to actually show the world to us was probably the best art of the season. One of my favorite things about this series, though, was how the fantasy world it takes place in was physically portrayed. But if you liked the fantasy world of Made in Abyss, Somali’s world is very similar. Made in Abyss focuses much more on the adventure and replaces the slice of life elements with some horror elements instead. It’s sort of like Made in Abyss as well, but I do still think those are two very distinct series. But aside from that one, I can’t think of another similar series I’ve watched off the top of my head. I guess the series I would say it’s most like is A Place Further Than The Universe, because that’s also a slice of life adventure series with some drama thrown in. It follows two main characters as they adventure through a fantasy world, but it has a focus on the everyday lives of the characters rather than the adventure itself. This series is a slice of life, fantasy adventure. Ever since the anime was officially announced, I had a feeling that it was going to be good. In fact, I expected it would be the best anime of the season long before the season began. Somali and the Forest Spirit (Somali to Mori no Kamisama / ソマリと森の神様 ) was my favorite anime of the winter 2020 season. Somali and the Forest Spirit Series Overview
