Probably there are quite few animes with the same dynamics, I haven't watched them so Somali rules.
I wasn't expecting anything like this. It punched me hard in the face, made me cry, and joyously laugh.
The art is incredible! Every episode is a masterpiece itself, including an incredible amount of details, from a tiny flower to a large city market. The are some stark contrasts highlighted by an effective use of colors throughout the series, in my opinion it helps brilliantly depicting how Somali sees the world.
However, art can be diminished by a poor music accompaniment. This is not the case. The soundtrack flows effortlesssly and increases the beauty of this incredible anime, by gently transporting you to this fantasy world.
The way the two main characters are represented and their relationship is extremely pleasant to watch and you can easily identify with either of them, depending on your circumstances. As every relationships, it is a journey towards mutual understanding and reinforced bonds. The other characters appearing during the story, enhance Somali and Golem's without being preposterous or adding discordant tones. There is an ideal succession of situations and encounters leading to the grand finale.
If it wasn't clear from all the above, I had an amazing time watching this series, I'd recommend it to anybody as a break from normal animes especially those with darker themes. It will definitely cheer you up and make you enjoy its depths.
