![]() Those two share a solid chemistry, and the fact that this club is a joint club between astronomy and geology is interesting. Like a typical offering of the genre, we have a club with a varied set of characters, although the main focus is on the two new members who met before in their childhood. Koisuru Asteroid is your average CGDCT anime, nothing more, nothing less. Short Synopsis: When a high school’s geology and astronomy clubs are combined, their members must learn to work together. This episode wasn’t a slam dunk by any means, but it was good enough that I’m likely to try another one. The orchestral score is also quite nice, bearing some eastern influence that makes Somali’s fantasy world feel distinct. The golem’s design is awesome, from his laced mask to the all-seeing eye that rests beneath it. The kid’s nonstop enthusiasm is cloying, but I’m a softie when it comes to that sort of thing, and so is the golem (despite his protests to the contrary). Characters, for example, are quite important, and Somali’s are decent. Oh well, there’s more to anime than composition and photography. But I can’t get over those gaudy light rays – they’re present in every single exterior shot, so it’s not as though they’re easy to overlook. Why, Kenji Yasuda? Why would you pollute your show’s beautiful backgrounds with those ugly sunbeams? The world of Somali to Mori no Kamisama looks as though it was plucked straight from a book of fairy tales, and it boasts lots of creative creature designs to match. Still seems worth at least a few episodes though. I’m a little worried the ceiling is low and we might fizz out like Ancient Magus Bride did in the second half. I think this show lives or dies on the dynamic between the two (moreso even than Kino and Hermes), but looks okay so far – and I love the supporting characters and world/scenery. I like the golem (no emotions but definitely street smart) and hate the kid. In all seriousness, this looks a bit more like Ancient Magus Bride meets Kino’s Journey than my initial thought of Natsume’s Book of Friends. Also, this show has a jackalope – for that reason alone I might watch it. Actually, if you’ve ever had a child of your own, that seems about right. In a world where humans have been vanquished, a forest golem is wandering about with a child hellbent on getting eaten or generally dying. Somali to Mori no Kamisama started off…interestingly. Short Synopsis: A self-described emotionless golem cares for a human child after discovering him alone in a forest. ![]()
