Dang... Jotaro is a good father in this anime TwT)

Jokes aside, i think this episode is amazing. The world building is intriguing and the sceneries are well drawn. I could see the emotions on somali's expressions. I feel like i could cry when i look at somali worrying that his father might leave him. It's a bittersweet emotion. It reminds me that this journey will meet its end someday. And also, the music adds all the more melancholic feels into it. This is so sad... get me out of this suffering!

A perfect iyashikei to refresh my mind. I'm glad i watched this episode at night.


Wandering Witch is the best light novel ever!

Such a beautiful looking and sounding anime! This episode so far had the prettiest art with that underground scene with the glowing things and bright yellow flowers 🥰 I also shed a few tears for Somali who just wants to stay with her dad so much..such a wholesome show. Can’t wait for next episode!
I am the wind, wild and free. Come chase me and you will see. Dare you follow me into my dark abyss, Tread carefully should your heart go amiss. I left this world on swift paw. My fur shimmering without a flaw. I only come on night's wing. When the moon is full I do sing. The saddest of requiems, the loneliest song. You never saw me all along. For I am only in your dreams, in your Nightmares.

I don't think the wolf has bad intentions. Why save them and not kill them along with hitting the mushroom.

cute and all but at this point i would only rate it a weak 7. something emotional or cool needs to happen for example the golem just brutally murders a group of animals trying to eat Somali or something like that.

hopefully there will be some kind of turn around, that the golem will be alive again and have the same kind of mindset as our golem

maybe golems die but when a new one is born, it's born without memories but it's the same person and it would act and behave the same way so when Somali grows up and learns about that, she could go searching the world for him and this could be a second season. the first season ends with emotional sadness, while the second season would end with happiness because they get reuinted. this would be very cool.

This show still stands as one of the season's best, with the entire Golem dad and his endangering lifespan (which kid Somali still isn't has an idea about).

The adventure continues into a new town for Somali and Golem Dad, this time expecting more money for the journey ahead.

Meeting a family of woolly shurigara is a blessing to both Somali and Golem Dad, being able to play and work respectively. However, the premise that Golem Dad's being strict is to ensure that Somali is safe always, especially in a town where she could easily get lost.

The sea at the bottom of the cave is just majestic, the visuals astounding in clarity. The collab studio of HORNETS must be responsible for all this, the scenery is just beautiful.

However with the wolf figure though...I'm sincerely praying that nothing bad will happen...

Another great episode that gets better with time.

This was emotional, Somali now realises that their journey will end someday and she'll be apart from him. I feel bad for her.

The visuals are always great but the plot is really simple and tbf uninteresting so far; what it's doing well though is building up each episode towards its emotional climax, it pushes all the right buttons and lets me immerse into the feely scenes

Good episode as always. I really like the world or rather said what we've seen so far.

Dam the word "Bittersweet" really is the best way to describe this series. Its always balancing the nice part with the bittersweet ones. I really hope they dont seperate in the end but I can definitely see this series going through with it.

The world building is just fantastic. I've never seen a fantasy world like this, and it's so refreshing to see something more than just guilds, medieval town, knights, adventurers, and guilds. I love how unique everything looks, and the colours are just beautiful.

They're spending quite some days in Anthole. I hope not too much, because every day counts for Golem..

I think that song Kikila sang was about the human traveler who came and found the monsters (?) for the first time.

I already knew the wolf had been suspicious since he saw Somali at first.

The visuals are still amazing but the plot is.....boring and repetitive.

Somali made a friend but he's a bad influence to her.
Don't be sad, your dad is strict for your own good Q_Q
Is the wolf there to protect her or to eat her ?

Sad to see Somali worry that golem wants to finish the journey quickly and abandon her while in reality golem doesn't have that much time left. Well nice to see her make a new cuddly friend her age but bit worrying to see that angry wolf guy at the end, hopefully he doesn't know what a human smells like.

Somali and Kikila were so adorable. I'm happy that she made a new friend.

Still, it was so sad to see Somali crying. :(

Also, that cliffhanger. Uh-oh!

It's to be expected that little kids are creepy.

And it's to be expected that a little kid would stare off into space and randomly start singing.

Regardless, I am creep out by this little rabbit thing..
