New Read - Somali and the Forest Spirit, Volume 1

I remember watching this anime when it first aired and loved it. It told the story of an emotionless, genderless forest spirit / golem traveling with a human child who is pretending to be a minotaur. The world is full of monsters who hate humans. The golem is trying to help find this child, named Somali, be returned to her family.

It's sweet as this seemingly emotionless being begins to...feel as they serve as a parent to the human child they are smuggling.

The first volume did not disappoint. Looking forward to Volume 2.

Today's #ThursdayFiveList is #TheSilence, hosted by @neurothing

It's been a few weeks since I've done once, given how busy I've been keeping up with some backlogs.

5) Station Earth - Cold Green Eyes

This song entrances me as I listen. The verses nearly repeats itself, and is more akin to a soft love song in a sense. I also cannot unhear the hitsounds back when I play it in osu!

4) Soochan - In Wonderland

This soundtrack was featured in NIKKE: Goddess of Victory. This particular theme was focused more on the cold lands, yet gives a fantasy and whimsical feel to it.

3) ソマリと森の神様 (Somali and the Forest Spirit) - 大切な思い出 (Precious Memories)

For those who hadn't watched Somali and the Forest Sprit, it's a precious adventurous anime. While the entire OST is written by 吉俣良 (Ryo Yoshimata), who worked on music as early as 1996, this particular track feels like it does give precious memories.

2) FELT - In My Room

This specific track is featured in the album "Grow Color" during Comiket 85 in 2013. The progressive growth of the song as more instruments join in from the base progression adds depth and wonder, despite being so short.

1) Hiroyuki Sawano - Tranquility
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s8PArsf68M

Hiroyuki Sawano's tracks tend to have intensity. This particular song features Anly in vocals for the anime Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These - Seiran.

Ironically, the song's lyrics feel more like it's a somber mix of the effects of war (regardless of scale) among innocent lives and wondering if there's such thing as tranquility.

I saw this pop up on my Youtube recommendations other day, but didn't watch it till now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzASXvP99uo

The Somali manga was CANCELLED during covid, while the anime was still running, and the mangaka is in financial trouble. All the details on Youtube, including her crowdfunding to tide her over as she moves on to a new office and write a new manga.
