This anime series opens with a Golem, whose duty is to protect the forest, discovers a human girl, named Somali. He then sets about getting her to other humans. This won't be easy as humanity is almost extinct in this world and other creatures see them as a delicious treat! As the series progresses they travel though countryside and cities; meeting various characters. Some of these are friendly and travel with them for a while and others present a threat; not always an obvious one.
I really enjoyed this series. The central characters were really good and nicely juxtaposed... a caring but emotionless golem and the innocent and lively young Somali. The more we learn about the characters the more interesting they become. The other characters are good too. The settings are beautifully designed making the world believable even when it is at its most fantastical. There is a sense of danger but it is never too extreme so younger viewers can probably enjoy it too. Overall I'd definitely recommend this charming little series.
