An ancient being for the human child. Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms and Somali and the Forest Spirit both follow ancient non-human beings becoming the guardian for a child.
Promised Flower's Maquia is an Iorph who can live a long lifespan. Forest Spirit's Golem is an emotionless superpowered golem. Also, both worlds reign over one particular species wishing from something off of them.
Both are good anime with Promised Flower being a great visual work and drama. Forest Spirit is a wonderful adventure.

Focuses more on fantasy aspects with a premise of a mythical being meeting and raising a human child out of unexpected circumstance, who eventually have to say goodbye. Moreover, for me, the two have the same ambiance as they can bring in those wholesome yet sorrowful feels.
In any case, if you enjoy stories that highly incorporate the concept of familial bond, then I am quite sure that you will adore this series/movie.
