The official website for Yako Gureishi's Somali and the Forest Spirit (Somali to Mori no Kamisama) manga announced that the anime will premiere on January 9.
The official website also began streaming two short commercials on Monday that feature the opening theme song "Arigatō wa Kocchi no Kotoba" by Naotarō Moriyama.
Kenji Yasuda (Macross Delta, Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens) is directing the anime at Satelight (Aquarion, Macross Delta) and HORNETS. Mariko Mochizuki (writer of Aquarion Logos, Last Hope, Senki Zesshō Symphogear AXZ, Sōsei no Aquarion Love) is in charge of the series scripts. Ikuko Ito (Princess Tutu, The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan) is designing the characters. Inori Minase, who plays Somali in the show, performs the show's ending theme "Kokoro Somali."
The manga is set in a world ruled by spirits and monsters, where humans are persecuted and driven to the brink of extinction. In a certain forest, a golem—the guardian of the forest—and a little girl meet. Their journey as stand-ins for father and daughter begins.
