Damn, some serious questions posed about the end of the series in this episode. The tone could turn really dark; I'm loving it from a psychological standpoint.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

Somali's whole existance screams PROTECC, but even when he made her cry I couldn't help but to feel bad for him, it's pretty obvious that even if he doesn't know and understand it that he cares about her alot ..

when He promised her at the end made me sure that I'll be bawling at the end of this series!

Everytime i watch new episode my mind is set on completely different things ... Where are the humans ? I don't believe they just lost the war, now way. How can anyone not found out that somali is a human ? Do they not have noses or something ? Im in a stage where i dont care about the story of somali and golem, but about the story of the setting.

Yeah because when the bunny character opened the door the look of surprise made think for a second that it was because they discovered she was a human…It’s weird because i feel they would found out she was a human by now.It seems like thing about the monsters being able to smell out humans was dropped completely.
Yeah,I also found the setting questionable.She is just putting up a hoodie and nobody notices that.They don't bother with the smell part.They have not given an explanation about that.I do believe that Golem might have made a perfume which makes her smell like a Minatour.That's just speculation from my part.

It's so simple, but then

So many other shows can't even do those simple things correctly.

An episode where Golem learns how to be a better parent somewhat, rather than desperately rushing to get rid of Somali to the humans.

Damn, only the 4th episode and I was at the verge of crying, I don't remember an anime that's done that to me yet; that means, this will probably break me at the end worse than some other animes I've seen... Looking forward to that tho, I accept the risk of feeling the feeliest feels!!
One day I'll be active here, in the mean time I'll keep track of what I watch offline 😅

Yet again, this episode made me emotional. Knowing that his time isn't for long... he still made the promise with somali. False hope doesn't go well... I wonder how will this end. Nevertheless, i guess the journey is still long. I'm afraid i might need some more tissues.

The wolf turned out to be a good guy!! And ending up babysitting!!

I find it a bit strange those creatures have been in a genocide war with humans!! They seem to be rather peaceful then anything else!!

This was such a nice episode. I love how they're covering parent and child relationships. Its so nice to see.

But wow they're really hammering the fact that they'll be seperating at the end on us so soon in the anime. I thought it would just hint at it at the beginning then not be relevent till the end but they're gonna keep playing the feels card over and over.

When he promised to say together I immedietly thought he was meaning it in a different way to she was and it hurt.

I can already tell if they go through with it Im gonna die when we see her reaction.

It seems that the author forgot about the monsters being able to smell out humans. I was sure that Kikila or Muthrika were going to realize that Somali is human but the show is inconsistent in that regard.

He was taught how to make medicine two episodes ago.
Didn't he ask for something that would help against fever or did he forget everything?

The second half was so unbelievably sad...

Somali's wish and Golem's promise. Shot straight through the heart, twice. Somali has a feeling that they're going to part at the end of their journey, and she doesn't want that. But Golem may not have a choice at all...

Golem finally did something that was based purely on his growing parental love towards Somali: he lied. It doesn't make sense, it's not rational nor is it logical. But he didn't want to hurt her, and so he lied.

I'm hoping that comment by that wolf guy is really true, that when that monster left Somali alone that was a sign that her wish could be granted by some miracle...

I can't get over how pretty that underground area is; gorgeous. Gives me serious Made In Abyss vibes.

Didn't Golem learn how to make medicine in episode 2? Feels like a wasted opportunity that he wasn't able to use his medical knowledge to help Somali, but maybe it'll come in handy later.

Awwww Golem hurt Somali's feelings. He seems to be slowly learning from his mistakes at least.

Damn. Seeing Golem make that promise to be with Somali forever was such a gut punch. Hard not to cry at that scene.

I was expecting a comfy anime and got comfiness with a dose of depression. If this ends with Golem dying, I'm going to be a crying mess.
