(Good) Somali and the Forest Spirit

Series in one sentence:
That nightmare fuel is my dad!

Series in more sentences:
In a world dominated by many odd creatures, an emotionless forest guardian meets a human orphan and travels with her around the country to find a human settlement for her to call her home.
But the human race has a bad reputation and are considered threats that should be killed, enslaved, or eaten. Their whereabouts are only guessed at and the girl has to be watched at all times - but time is something the forest golum has little of, as his role as a living guardian happens to be reaching its end. 

Good, but too short, with a climax that should've been moved to the end of a 24-episodes season. There're many unanswered questions, so a continuation is probable? Then again, I've seen many shows give up around a crucial moment. If it has a manga, then there's no real urgency, it seems. Too early to say, but I'll try to keep my eyes open for new episodes.

Don't know what else to say in this review, honestly. It was, for the most part, what you'd call a "slice of life" adventure, despite some of the action scenes and drama. The show was mainly about how the golum unknowingly developed emotions and "worried" about his deteriorating body, for this girl's sake.
Despite the ending, you know there can't be a happy ending; as the fact he's dying is mentioned every episode and love isn't keeping him intact.

At least, I hope not. That'd be a cop-out. Lee Everett this fool.
