Somali and the Forest Spirit

The world is ruled by a diversity of inhuman beings, who persecuted humans and drove them to near-extinction. One day, the forest guardian Golem meets a human girl. This is a chronicle of a journey that would bind a member of the dying "human" clan to the forest guardian Golem, as father and daughter. (Source: Crunchyroll) The first episode received an advance web distribution on January 3. The regular TV broadcast started on January 10.
